The guy who sits next to me said he suddenly realized, after months, who I looked like. See, his kid watches a lot of Cartoon Network, and he said he finally realized this morning that I look just like Shaggy of Scooby Doo fame.
I’m not buying it for an instant — for one thing, my arms don’t dangle down to my knees, australopithecine-like, and I’m not even a vegetarian — but it’s more flattering than the time a “friend” in college said I looked like Boris Yeltsin.
(And Casey Kasem does provide my voice, but I think that’s just a coincidence. Zoinks!)
