Ok - so here is the site that Frank was talking about where you can upload a picture of yourself (an presumably anybody else) and the software will determine which Celebrity you most resemble.
http://www.myheritage.com/
I did it and the celebrity that matches me the closest was Emma Watson. Who is that you say? Here is a link:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0914612/
My second closest match was Bertie Ahern. I agree with Frank in that the software needs some reworking.

I am Nana Mouskouri, and then Catherine Deneuve second. Using that photo of me that ed posted a while ago.
Who the hell is that. I think that if they match you up with a Celebrity it should be a clebrity that they match you up with.
i had the love hewitt match, and then 2 russian chess masters whose names i don't remember.
She is a Greek singer apparently.
You could do a lot worse than Catherine Deneuve. She's old now, but wow! when she was in her thirties and forties. You have her cheekbones
I'm afraid it will say I look like John Tesh.
We will be coming back to Iowa in June. We will be in Whittemore the weekend of the 17th and staying through the middle of the week. Then it is down to Des Moines for the rest of the week and the the weekend of the 24th to see Erin's family. Hope we can see most of you while we are there. Actually we would hope to see all of you.
Catherine D. is beautiful...she was the it girl and I think she still does Chanel(sp) perfume ads.
DO you mean you want to see jennifer love hewitt and catherine deneuve, too?
Ok - So I ran a bunch pictures through the deal last night and this is what it came up with:
Jim = James Joyce
Emily = Sammi Cheng
Joe III = John Edwards
Cathy = Bea Yong-jun
Joe IV = Philip Jose Farmer
Josh = Evangeline Lilly
Joe K = Robert Mitchum
Randy = Jay Leno
Emma = Mohandas Ghandi
Mary = Melanie Chisholm
Mike = Joseph Deiss
Desmond = John Cusak
Phelan = Frederico Garcia Lorea
Caitlin = Shinzo Abe
Joe Jayjack = Jason Biggs
Danny = Igor Stravinsky
and our diva couple is:
Molly = Jennifer Lopez
Brian = Madonna
The entire Tom Straub Family (5) watched the ending of, The Ten Commandments," last night. I was able to convince Don to give it a try...and he really enjoyed it...I was so glad! (smile) It was a nice time together.
I wish there were more movies like that.
Tonight, we MAY go see, "Bench Warmers." Anyone seen it?
Does anyone know who Sammi Cheng is?
Ed,
you need to find a picture of me to run through.
if you have one of the girls, do them, too, please
I already did Emma. Please see above. I will look for a picture of you when I get home.
Emily,
Do a google search on her. That should bring up pictures and a link to some info.
Who does Ed resemble? I'm going to have to google Bea Yong-jun. Josh is beautiful in a secret murderer kind of way.
I would think this site is bogus - that they just put random famous people names with anyone- if it weren't for Pat, Josh and Desmond's matchups
I already said who I resembled in the header.
I was told, as child, that I resembled Brooke Shields...think it was the eyebrows (back then). As a college student...it was Courtney Cox...she had a beer Ad Poster out at that time. Since my mid-twenties...I've been told Oprah Winfrey(what?)and Kirstie Alley (especially when I bartended). I would LIKE to think that my resemblance, of Kirstie, was either pre-weight gain...or, post-Jenny Craig...hello?
Molly and Brian are already the most photogenic couple, it's no fair they get to be pretty girls, too.
Tom, used to, look a lot like Eric Clapton.
I think, he looks like Don and Pete! But, they aren't celebrities...yet. (smile)
Hey, PETE! Your Christmas present has NOW found itself in a shipping box...it's one step closer to getting OFF my kitchen table and into YOUR mailbox! We've been, "eatin' around," that sucker since early December! Sorry!
Well, in that I have brown hair, bangs and glasses...why, yes, I DO look like a twentysomething male Korean actor! I'm so excited!
Nance - think "Cheers". And cheer up - except for Bae Yong-jun, nobody ever told me I looked like anybody but their aunt or their dad's second wife or something middle-aged.
There's a great website called www.pluggedinonline and it gives a great review of movies from a Christian perspective. I checked out, "Bench Warmers," and I guess it is NOT appropriate for the boys.
They thought it looked funny 'cuz Napolian Dynamite is in it. Oh well...so it goes.
Hello...Oprah? What the heck is up with that? Yikes!
It would've been cool...IF my accountant had said that I reminded him of Oprah...but, that wasn't the case. :-) Hmm.
Ed, would you rather look like Bertie Ahearn or Emma Watson. She IS as cute as a bug.
I'm very happy with Catherine Deneuve.
My mother in law was arrested this week for trespassing this week. At our senators office.
Tom, yes they won't allow Easter in the capital building. No bunnies and no resurrection. We can still celebrate it in our homes, though.
I guess I can see why they can't have religious symbols like bunnies in the capital building during Easter.
What about tulips?
By the way, that saying about sliding into the grave sideways with a glassa wine and body all used up instead of perfectly preserved and youthful etc. is a chick thing. I know because it mentions chocolate. And a glass of wine. Also, when a woman considers that saying as she contemplates her image in the full length mirror, she can say to herself that she must be living an adventurous and exciting life cause the body's shot. It's a comforting illusion.
Yes, somehow Bunnies are dangerous. I imagine it's a prechristian symbol? Fertility related?
Geez, Joe.
bunnies are Satans handmaidens.
Well, so, what the woman sees in the mirror is what she's supposed to base her life's success on? It's men who make women have body image problems. Get over it.
I think the facial recognition has a lot to do with whatever features you have on your face (glasses, beard, mustache, nose ring, incisor gap-reducing headwear, etc.) in your picture, becuase I was matched mostly with people that had glasses similar to mine.
Topping my list was Chester Bennington, a.k.a "Chazy Chaz," the writer and lead vocalist for Linkin Park. However, also making my list were Steven Soderbergh, Danny Elfman, Elton John, Antonio Sabato Jr. (which will have to be worked into my pick-up lines), Robert Downey Jr., Larry King and Cab Calloway.
But the most amazing thing is that I registered a 55% match with Bae Yong-jun, who was my mom's match in Ed's test last night. And I thought all I got from my mom was a razor sharp wit ...and bad knees.
If a man wrote it he would have said a cheeseburger and a beer. So what's your point?
I thought it was a funny saying.
I'd choose a cheeseburger and a beer over wine and chocolate any day.
It was like, one person in charge who made a secretary remove easter bunny stuff from her desk.
well, i bet that when Jonathan 'The Impaler' Sharkey becomes governor he'll let people have Easter Bunny stuff up. he cares like that.

I'm not saying it's stupid or anything, it's just that it's a chick thing. That's my only point. A woman could adopt the saying as a sort of a Oprahish personal philosophy but a man wouldn't. And it's women who cause women to have body image problems, not men. It's easy to say it's men's fault, but it really starts in catty grade school girl spats. That whole ya ya sisterhood thing is a joke. Has anyone tried the fried green tomatos diet? And I hate Thelma and Louise because they desroyed a buncha '65 Tbird convertibles. during filming.
Joe3
Huh?
Well, let's see. The Twin Cities area has the largest influx of Hmong and Somali immigrants in the United States, so no I don't think it's sad and comical. I'm glad to pay for one. Bad things happen, you know. Some people aren't nice to people who look different.
Too bad this one is such a dink to waste his time and our money on the Easter Bunny. Maybe he didn't get a basket as a child - I hope as staffer leaves one at his door.
Men don't make women have body image problems. The media and the stupid magazines that WOMEN buy do. We torture ourselves by looking at airbrushed and digitally enhanced photographs in Victoria's Secret and Glamour, etc.
We do it to ourselves.
Hey Ed, in high school, didn't Corey Kasch say that he wished he was a girl so he could date himself. (You know becasue he thought he was so hot.) Or was that John Griebel from Creighton?
I,too would rather have a cheesbuger and beer.
That's a cheeseburger, not cheesbuger.
If I'm walking around looking in mirrors I would rather have wine in a waterford goblet, if I'm sitting and there's no mirrors, then bring me a can o' beer...Desy used to have people walk up to him when he first moved to Chicago and ask him for his autograph, because they thought he was John Cusack...what if you worked in the courthouse and you had a tall bunny named HARVEY come to work with you every day, what would they do????
The body used up thing is very much a chick thing. And it's cute and funny! I personally would rather have a cheeseburger and beer with chocolate for dessert and wine later with spagetti and meatballs and i just try to keep all my mirrors hung at chin level. Guys still think they look like they did when they were 18. Chicks (gag) know the awful truth. If we're smart enough, we don't give a rat's ass.
Oh, but I am living an adventurous and exciting life. That's why I don't have time to exercise.
For example, right now I am heading over to Carter Lake to spend the evening with some ladies who - I am not kidding here - have been to Medjugorge 11 times. They have jackets and everything. I'm going armed.
I love Cathy.
I was satisfied with my results, Jessica Alba in the number one spot with two different pictures, but the next two people were Woody Harrelson and Jason Biggs. That didn't make me feel very good. Also in there twice was Andie MacDowell.
I did a face recognition once to see what my baby would look like, but it didn't look at all like me, a Straub baby, or a Jayjack baby. I don't believe any of it.
I'm depressed that there are apparently zillions of famous persons I've never heard of.
"Greed is good"-Gordon Gekko "Speed is good"-Keanu Reaves "Creed is good"-idiot rock fan "Snead is good"-Bobby Jones "Weed is good"-Tommy Chong "Guaranteed is good"-salesman to dubious potential buyer
Do you think Catherine Deneuve is up checking her blog right now?
If a city is going to have a Human Rights Protector, Minneapolis-St. Paul is the natural spot. That grand, liberal (in the non-political sense of the word) metropolis on the horthern plains would be the first to protect marginal oriental populations from being overrun by Norwegian Lutheranism and forced to eat hot dishes and jello salads (in Alabama they're called "congealed salads." Yum!) I say, you go, Tyrone Shoelace. No one should have to look at demonic jolly bunnies if they feel threatened by them. What's everyone's favorite Easter hymn (oops, I mean spring festival song)? I like the one where they sing "Ah-ah-ah-ah-aah-lay-ay-loo-oo-ya!" Anyone can mumble the verses and jump right in on the chorus.
"Flea'd is good"- Tramp to Lady
I'll let Randy comment, if he wishes, on looking like Jay Leno. However... Ghandi and Emma? skinny people with hight cheekbones and tiny eyes... at least they didn't say Indira Ghandi. Or maybe they should have.
Who are you?
Hey - does anyone else think Woody Harrelson looks like a sociopath? I wouldn't let my kids stay overnight with him! And why do at least two of my children resemble someone who did the dirty with a pie? Does it have something to do with excessive barbecuing in their childhoods? Should I quit baking? Why do we have so many oriental lookalikes? Isn't Jackie Chan the greatest? He's a really nice guy.
I'm with Tom on the limericks. Only now, Tom, you have to come up with one that doesn't have Nantucket in it.
He can't do it.
We have a propencity for Haiku because we were all asian in another life.
I, certainly, was not! (ha, ha)
Ha, ha,
hee, hee,
giggle, giggle,
burp...
toot.
For the Record:
I am confident that Tom can write a limerick...however, I am, uncertain, whether or not he can do it without
including the word, "Nantucket."
Check previous posts!
Is the Haiku Japanese or Chinese? Besides I think they make strange similies that do not make sense to me, despite the fact that we seem to have an asian influence in our celebrity look alike make up
sirry amelicans.
The rhyme scheme is usually "A-A-B-B-A", with a rather rigid meter. The first, second, and fifth lines are three metrical feet; the third and fourth two metrical feet. The foot used is usually the amphibrach, a stressed syllable between two unstressed ones. However it can be considered an anapestic foot, two short syllables and then a long, the reverse of dactyl rhythm. However, many substitutions are common.
The first line traditionally introduces a person and a location, and usually ends with the name of the location, though sometimes with that of the person. A true limerick is supposed to have a kind of twist to it. This may lie in the final line, or it may lie in the way the rhymes are often intentionally tortured, or in both. Though not a strict requirement, the best limericks are usually those that additionally show some form of internal rhyme, often alliteration, sometimes assonance or another form of rhyme.
Wikipedia entry for "Limerick"
That women like to excuse their reflection in a, "full length mirror," to an adventurous and exciting life.
so did all of ABBA's hits start off as limericks?
There once was a guy named Fernando...
Or in other words:
Da DA da da DA da da DA
da DA da da DA da da DA
dum DUM dum dum DUM
dum DUM dum dum DUM
da DA da da DA da da DA
You can do it Tom! Don't just leave Nantucket out - ignore all of New England!
There once was a Gai named Sum Dum
Who missed the point on the "chick" fun
We don't NEED excuses
for our big cabooses
They're ours, Gai, we earned'em, each ton!
Mom- all of Andy's pictures-we tried five- were either "unreconizable" or two lists of beautiful asian women. So I have come to the conclusion a Japanese person must have designed the software and included a lot of people we have no clue who they are. And Jason Biggs does resemble a Straub/Jayjack mix.
Freudian Slip Haiku
Oops. I meant to say
"each one" instead of "each ton."
Who's the Dum Gai now?
We have Asian blood, don't you know?
From east to west our eyes slant, too.
Asian girl in frame
Now in Joe's bathroom
Does not have Betty Davis Eyes!
Andy does resemble a beautiful Asian woman. And you kids stay away from that Jason Biggs.
The Sunday after Easter, April 23, Catherine Richardson will make her First Communion at the 11:00 Mass at Queen of Apostles church. After mass, about 12:30, Mia Richardson will be baptized. Invitations are not being mailed out, but you are all invited. There will be a party at our (Jayjack's) house afterward.
A family from the town of Algona
Acquired an asian persona
But the poor confused Micks
Wrote bad limericks
For Haiku is too high an art forma
The eldest, a gem, raved and ranted
She said, "Our eyes are not slanted!"
But her dark Irish eyes
Smiling, and wise
Sparkled at the tricks Jackie Chan did
I am not a Straub
by blood
no slanted eyes and crud
But I'm here
to stay
I won't go away
so I guess I should
go to a Pub.
there once was a fella from call park
was ascared of the easter bunny's bark
he thought long and hard
greased a pan with some lard
blamed the commies while things burned too dark
There is a family of persuasion
unmistakably partially asian
results, don't you know
from a tryst long ago
an ancestral bawdy occasion
there is this family loves bacon
kids swarm and it'd all be taken
they were blond, skinny too
had four - one too few?
come on monica, get naked.
C'mon Monica.
Alright Joe, you can stil be JoJO.
Get ready for graduation
make the lawn pretty, can't believe
She's already done
Was I good enough?
She's 4. 1 "D" Fuc** it all up!
In school I was too much a slough
Didn't study Haiku enough
I know I can't duck it
Even in Nantucket
It's my fault my poetry's so rough
Anxioulsy awaiting baby news form the Kennedy/Straubs.
Emily has two feet.
She's never been to crete
But she's going to Cali
Perhaps first she'll rally
In Iowa and we all can meet.
Emily when will you be home? Will you make it when Jim and Erin are?
There once was a guy named Frank
Who kept a dead whore in a tank
He Said "I admit,
I'm a shit.
But at least I don't have to pay that scank."
Well, that could stop all competitive limericking dead in its tracks!
That wasn't Ed. He wouldn't mis-spell "skank"
Ethnicity? I don't give a damn
Don't really care what I am
got two arms and two legs
For brains I got dregs
Let's all go work on our tans!
I've found that if baby's upset you can give him baking soda and a few fizzies and it helps. Good science fair project too. Oh-and we should all watch more TV
The limerick's a form full of whimsy
Says Tom, but that Ed is no pansy
his humor gave birth
to a kind of scorched-earth
gross-out poem, but the meter is flimsy.
I'll golf. Joe also, maybe
The Jayjacks, Richardsons and LaVelles won't be home this Easter. We'll miss you guys.
Boys and girls, get your calendars
Upcoming events, mark them down!
Graduate parties
May 13, Joe J
May 20, Cait, see you then!
(invitations to follow, Joe's is in Vermillion)
Mary, What is Caitlin doing next year?
Pat, (and everyone else too)I think we will be in Whittemore the same weekend Jim is there.
Joe J., what are you doing after graduation? ANy plans yet?
I was quite pleased with my "celebrity" look alike, Sammi Cheng. She is the "most bankable star in Hong Kong." Quite cute, but I don't see a resemblence.
Dot dumkopf dat vants to go back

Nana Mouskouri is a good name.
