doppelganger of the day
An important rule of urban etiquette is that you shouldn't hit on a person for any extended period of time when the person can't really go anywhere, such as on a crowded train, or working behind a register, or when the person is exercising on an elliptical runner and is thus running, but -- inconveniently -- not away from you.
The other day I was on an elliptical at the gym and this guy came up to me and put his hand on my machine (the nerve!), and I thought he was going to be annoying, but instead he wanted to tell me I looked like Shelley Duvall.
And here is Shelley:
A big-eyed portrait.
Screaming like a banshee in The Shining
As Olive Oyl in Popeye. Now I'm ready
for Halloween. I could totally pull that off.
Thanks, gym-guy!

I've always liked Shelley Duvall. Before the Sopranos or Larry David, her legends and fairy tales show, with Mick Jagger as Aladin's genie and Robin Williams as the frog prince, was the best thing on cable. But you're a lot better looking than Shelley Duvall ever was, though. Shelley Duvall was always kinda bug eyed and bucktoothed.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Maybe gym guy thought you looked like the...
Screaming like a banshee in The Shining...
because when he approached you your expression turned ghastly with hope he wasn't headed in your direction... lol...
and btw, a stranger interrupting one's exercise should be condemned to 1000 non-stop push-ups...
