In high school I was in a barbeque restaurant (Stubby's) talking to a friend of mine who worked there.  His coworker remarked that I looked like John Popper from Blues' Traveler.  My friend,  seeing the distress on my face, said to me, "don't worry, he meant that as a complement.  He likes that band."

so much so that when I moved to LA in '96 after spending 5 years in Europe,
I had to change my haircut and the clothes I wore.

srsly


Woah woah woah, did they say Michael Richards or Cosmo Kramer?
I survived the ordeal by making the distinction.


it was 1996 so, I got "Kramer" at least a coupla times a week.

In seventh grade, I had a reading/PE teacher, Mr. Rudger. He would always call me Howdy Doody because of my freckles and big round head and the space between my front teeth (which have since grown together). He would do it in front of the other students too which I hated. He thought he was really funny. He wasn't. One day he called me Howdy Doody once again in front of the entire PE class. Everyone laughed. I had had enough so I sarcastically said, "Whatever, Clarabell" which received even bigger laughs from the class. Infuriated, he made me stand in the corner the rest of the period for talking back. Afterward I was written up and sent to the office. I told the story to the Vice Principal - including what Mr. Rudger's had been calling me - who sent me home with a note describing what had happened. My parents were impressed that I took it for so long (nearly the entire school year) but I didn't get in trouble. The teacher never called me by anything but my given name after that.

And that is why I am an axe murderer today.

The end.

I have been told by friends that I don't look like anybody, and they've in fact racked their brains trying to figure out a celebrity counterpart to associate me with. The only time I've ever been told that I look like anybody specific was when this retarded girl fell in love with me and told me I looked like Jonathan Taylor Thomas. That was in the 6th grade, I think. 

In fatter days, I studied myself and came up with Alexei Sayle, but my friends have no idea who that is.

Clarabell looks just like Ryan Gosling in "Lars and the Real Girl". Except with dark hair.
p.s. you were a poetic-looking kid!

Patrick,  your story was funny and the extra effort you made posting the pictures pushed it over the edge into greatness.  Extra points for outsmarting Clarabelle.
