Of course you are the cross between your parents and all their ancestors with nature and nurture expressing their own unique influences...
but for fun...
Who do you feel you are a cross between philosophically, metaphoricaly, physically, clandestinely, or any other way...

I would say I am a cross between the Dali Lama and Larry the cable guy.


btw the Dali Lama will be at Radio City music hall in November.

Sometimes I'm a cross between John Q. Public and that guy who's name escapes my mind at the moment... but it's usually right when I 'should' be someone special...

But really... if I could be a cross between Dougie Maclean and Vivaldi... I'd be satisfied musically...

But as far as I can stretch it? Well let's see now... How about a cross between Chuck Yeager and Robert Burns?

Generally, a cross between Aristotle and Hagar the Horrible, with a little Rumpole of the Bailey thrown in.

In appearance, maybe sort of a cross between Jean-Luc Picard and--um--Shrek.

Musically, a bit of Richard Dyer-Bennet, a dollop of Gordon Bok, and a large portion of wounded buffalo.

I guess I'm a mix of Bonnie Raitt, Greer Garson, Debbie Reynolds, Ann Blyth, Katharine Hepburn, Susan Hayward, Noreen Corcoran, and Maureen O'Hara (looks-wise), Joan Baez and Judy Collins (singing-wise), and Larry David (personality-wise -- at least according to my brother).

These, of course, are things people have told me over the years. People, of course, generally tend to be flattering when making such comparisons. (No one ever said "You look just like Leona Helmsley" or "You sound like Minnie Pearl.")   And I haven't been compared to Noreen ("Bachelor Father") Corcoran since we were both teen-agers.

But thinking of all these people I've been compared to, I can't help thinking of the "If They Mated" shtick that Conan O'Brien uses on his show. I can picture some really funny combos!
