Why I should stick to watching television

Had a great night out yesterday. Good food and company (in that order). T-Money, or T-Rand as everyone else thinks he should be called, brought his dad, here from out of town, out for show and tell. Shortly after meeting Father J, I asked him if anyone had ever told him he looked like Harrison Ford.


He said no one had. I asked Forsooth for backup, and she concurred. I then went into details, telling Father J that he looked like Harrison Ford circa The Fugitive. We beat this dead horse even further, pinpointing the exact moment in the movie where I saw the resemblance (about 1/3 through Ford's jump into the Hoover Dam).

Later on in the night, Father J made reference to the fact that he's been told he looks like Tommy Lee Jones. I sat back, thought about this for a moment, and realized that Tommy Lee Jones was ALSO in The Fugitive!

(Father J) (T.L. J)

Oh. Turns out, that's who I meant.

We should start a club for friends' fathers who look like celebrities. So far we've got Patrick Stewart, Tom Hanks, Gene Hackman, and now apparently Tommy Lee Jones.

whatever they're both rugged and leathery white guys, and we both hate movies!
