Yes.

I'm quite a fan of Bill Bryson (I certainly buy all his books and devour them within mere hours), so imagine my surprise when I opened his latest, The Life And Times Of The Thunderbolt Kid to discover something I had not quite realised before. He looks suspiciously like a Downer!

See who you think Bill Bryson reminds you of before scrolling down:

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 12-28-2006, 11:14 AM

Remarkable...

Celuien · 12-28-2006, 11:18 AM

Amazing!

I thought of lmp before scrolling down but seeing the pictures together was still startling.

Lalwendë · 12-28-2006, 11:38 AM

You aren't by any chance from Iowa are you, lmp?

I hope you are not offended or anything by the way!

Hookbill the Goomba · 12-28-2006, 12:43 PM

You are spot on there Lal!

Come to think of it, you never see LMP and Bill Bryson in the same place at the same time, do you?

Beleg Cuthalion · 12-28-2006, 08:53 PM

I’m curious, does anyone have a thought of what I look like? (maybe I asked this before though...)

Wow

... I was scrolling up this thread, since for some reason I started reading from the last post and then up... and when I saw LMP's picture and then the other one I thought "Hm... LMP really looks good on a suit" I had no clue that was not him... untill I read what Lal said.

Bêthberry · 12-29-2006, 01:51 PM

Lal, there's no link to a picture of Bill Bryson in your post. Was it lost or did you intend folks to do a google image search?

Kath · 12-29-2006, 03:31 PM

Bb the image just comes up on its own. No link necessary.

Bêthberry · 12-29-2006, 04:36 PM

The only image that comes up on my screen, Kath, is the pic which LMP has given us purporting to be him.

There's a blank, or rather black, space between it and Lal's text and highlighting produces only a think blue line down the left side.

Not that I don't know what Bryson looks like. It's amazing how facial hair produces such similarities. Well, I suppose the absence of other hair ...

But I"m not surprised. Esty's been parading around as Princess Fiona for her entire time here.
