speaking of being mistaken for someone ...

... under the title "Kubuntu endorsed by Peyton Manning and Tom Green", someone on digg says "The kubuntu.org website depicts the two celebrities showing their support for Kubuntu while the community gears up for the release of 7.10"

and of course, if you go to the kubuntu main page you'll see a couple of mugs who bear resemblance to those two well known people ... but who certainly aren't them. one of them is, in fact, yours truly. the aaron-is-actually-tom-green joke started over three years ago when kde people met me in person for the first time in ludwigsburg and noticed the, shall we say, resemblance. not only has the joke yet to end, but it's finding new places to pop up on the 'net. oh frabjous joy. =)

i was informed about the digg article on irc, which resulted in the following snippet of conversation ...

[01:10] <SSJ_GZ> aseigo: Now that I've seen it, I can't un-see it :)
[01:12] <Chani> aseigo: maybe we should get you a t-shirt saying "I am not tom green"
[01:14] <SSJ_GZ> We'll need an "I'm not Aaron Seigo" one for Tom, then - just to be fair :)


indeed.

I had to look Tom Green up on Wikipedia, so yes, give him a t-shirt as well. =)

Eh, I thought I was the only one who spotted the resemblance. I've got to start paying attention :)

mattie said...

neither to me, but now I know, I can't deny it ;)

I always connect that guy with his salmon song, which is really hilarious (if you don't know it, do have a look on youtube! ;))
