On The Impossibility Of Identity

Whenever I'm asked-weirdly, it happens with some frequency-which celebrity I most resemble I always answer Mike Tyson, which I for some reason think is hysterical, although I recently developed what seems to be a permanent Maori tattoo of stress-acne below my right eye, so I guess the joke's on me. Anyway, this Michelle Orange essay on familiar faces is lengthy, discursive, and unsettling. I liked it a lot.

If you would let us see A SINGLE FUCKING PHOTO OF YOUR UNOBSTRUCTED FACE, I could solve this for you.

Otherwise, I'm going with the guy who looked after Uncle Junior on that show about those guys.

Uh, except I'd rather have sex with a member of my own family on the grounds that it would be LESS like incest. No offense, Alex!

Also, you wouldn't have to vacuum your bed afterwards.

I think I've met the day's quota of "Alex Balk is hirsute" jokes. I'm spent.

Generously, I'd say Liev Schreiber.

Less generously...let me think about it and come back to you.
