Footbag Look-alikes

Caleb · Post by **Caleb** » 09 Nov 2005 07:18

So I got screwed by having my two hardest midterms (Linear Circuits and Digital Logic) on this Thursday and Friday. I've spent over 50% of this past week in the library or circuits laboratory, and that includes sleeping at night. Anyways, I'm not complaining. I love this SHIT!

The funny thing about it is, the kid that works the night shift at the circuits laboratory looks EXACTLY like "Nasty" Nate Linscott. HAHA, except he has the biggest glasses ever, a pocket protecter, and a white lab coat. It's so awesome! Whenever morale is low I just turn around and look at Nasty in his Pysicist halloween costume, pretending to do experiments. lol

So, I was curious......has anyone else ever had any funny doppleganger-footbagger experiences?

PS: It's good to know you're watching over me while I'm studying Nate.

I worked with a guy that was the spitting image of Peter Irish, except he had red hair. But his height, weight and face looked identical. Whenever I was having a hard day I would look over at him and picture a Big Apple.

Brought me right out of that bad mood.

I have a teacher who looks like Lon Smith and a kid in a class of mine that looks like Scott Bevier.

Apparently I laugh like Andrew Grant. I dunno. That's what I was told when I went to Kickass

One of my buddies looks exactly like Vasek.

Hey Caleb, I'm taking circuts too, but I've never heard of linear circuts, what is that all about? Here in Acadia we have circuts, circuts2 and microelectronics.

I take my circuit course next semester. Right now we're taking pure physics about capacitors and stuff. Calculating resistance through a tapered volume. What program are you in Caleb?

I once saw a guy playing tennis who looked like Andrew Grant... back when he had "the hair" . (He was even playing in climas!) But it wasn't him

Apparently I look just like Tu Vu. I also apparently look just like Tuan Vu. And in an interesting coincidence, I probably look just like that Asian foreign exchange student that did a semester abroad at your school. And wait, didn't you meet me already? Wasn't I at that party last year? No? Oh right, that was some Korean kid.

It seriously pisses me off how often I (and every other Asian I know) gets comments like this. Especially in the footbag community. There are, what, 5 asian footbaggers in the sport at a high level? Is it too much effort to distinguish between us?

And none of us look anything alike either. Gah, just wanted to vent.

Haha, good topic Caleb. Last weekend, I saw Jeremy Mirken. John's roomate is a skater and he invited all these guys over from around Ohio to come skate the area and one of them was a Gromet clone. He looked and sounded just like him just with different hair.

When watching a skate video, skaters talk just like how footbaggers talk when watching a shred video. "That was sick!" "I don't like his style." "That trick was insane" etc. And I had no idea what was going on while watching. If you switched trick names, it'd be the same conversation.

That's hilarious Brad. I can't ever tell if skaters are doing slightly different things (i wonder if any of you have ever heard that about footbag

)

Anyway, on a sidenote since I was asked: I'm studying Electrical Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania. And from what it sounds like, Linear Circuits is the same as just plain Circuits to the rest of the world. I bet you use a ton of linear algebra to evaluate your problems too. It's kicking my ass. Oh, and also, since I'm in the circuits lab right now I asked. The Linscott clone is a senior in Computer Engineering and doesn't seem quite as peronable as the original.

Hey C-Fan, you mean you're really not Tu and Tuan Vu? I thought they were just your nicknames.

If I go to worlds and get asked if I'm tu or tuan or any other footbagger for that matter (unlikely) then I'll tell them I am and then "the" all my moves

I've always thought Jude Law looks like Jeremy Mirken but since I've only ever seen Jeremy in internet videos that could be way off

The drummer at church looks exactly like Jorden Moir lol, and I have told him this

EDIT: to make myself a bit more clear... I was making a point to Ken on how these kinds of "stereotypes" can work both ways... even when there are no obvious similarities...

I saw the female version of Vojta Polak in Bordeaux, France the other day

OMG Kevin best pic ever

I was to a party for a couple of weeks ago with a guy that looked exactly like C-Fan and he had exactly the humour i think Ken has. hehe..
But he was danish, can you talk danish Ken?

Michael Hanson has more than a passing resemblance to the net player John Leys (spelling?), at least this was the case back at '04 worlds in Montreal.
