#6: Patterns and celebrity/Mormon look-alikes.

One of the things you ought to know about my personality is that I like to look for patterns.  I see patterns in the clouds, patterns in my socks, and patterns in the carpet at work.  Does that make me a nerd?  Absolutely.

Another pattern that I often see is common features in people's faces.  It's not like, "Hey, that guy has a nose. So do I!".  Instead, it is like when I see someone, I often think that the person is someone I already know or recognize.  For example, if Diane and I go to a restaurant (preferably someplace that serves spaghetti or chicken fingers), I always see someone that I think I recognize.  Unfortunately, I have a tendency to go ask this person if they are who I think they are or are at least to ask them if they are related to the person who I think they are (For any grammar nuts reading this blog, I know that "they" should actually read "he/she", but I like to live my life on the wild side).


Anyway, more often than not, I am wrong in assuming this person is who I think they are. At that point, the person usually thinks I'm (1) confused, (2) trying to be funny, or (3) creepy.  The point of all this is that I sometimes see common features between famous Mormons and famous celebrities.  Am I off my rocker?  I'll leave that up to you.

President Heber J. Grant and Sir Sean Connery
Young Donny and Bieber Fever
My dog Diesel and Wicket the Ewok
Coach Bronco Mendenhall and Shrek
Coach Kyle Whittingham and Superman
President Spencer W. Kimball and Jedi Master Yoda
Let me know if there are others that you can think of.  I'm sure they are out there!
