I've heard many people claim that there is a double of you somewhere else in the world. Someone who looks just like you. Some call this person, a doppelganger. If this is the case, someone hit my copy button far too many times. Let me explain.
Here's a picture of me for reference.
One day, my two brothers came over with the sole purpose but to claim they saw "evil Mitch" at the mall. He was me, but with tattoos, piercings, and evil. I could never really get them to explain the whole evil thing. Doppelganger #1
I used to wear glasses (I miss them) - this matters to the story. While I was walking down a side street, a pickup truck passes me, quickly brakes, and reverses in order to get closer to me. A man sticks his head out and says to me, "Have you ever seen Myth Busters?"
Completely confused and responding honestly, I said, "No."
In his excitement, he tells me that I look just like the main guy.
I go home, search the internet and find this:
Adam Savage.... Doppelganger #2Another moment: I was at the hospital for a few days when one of my fellow patients awkwardly says to me, "I'm sure people say this to you all the time, but did you know that you look exactly like Ron Howard?"
Another patient next to us chimes in with, "Oh yeah, I thought that immediately!"
Ron Howard... Doppleganger #3Crazy huh? I'll speed these up now.
Cashier at a coffee place I attend frequently hands me back my debit card and says, "Wow, I figured it out, you look just like Simon Pegg!"
Having no idea who that was, he starts ranting on and on about the movies Simon Pegg has been in. The cashier even tries to get others to verbally agree.
Simon Pegg... Doppelganger #4Okay, here's the best one. Here's the one that made me sit down and type this blog out. I like comic books (yes, I'm a geek) and I stepped into a comic store. Immediately, the cashier looks at me and says, "Wee Hughie!" Another cashier agrees and they proceed to show me this character in the comic called "The Boys". I was even wearing almost identical clothes! Doing more research on this, I found out that "Wee Hughie" was drawn loosely based on Simon Pegg.
Wee Hughie... Doppeleganger #5What am I to think about these? I'm sure I've forgotten others too. Seeing it this way, I can take it either as a compliment (good company and all) or that I'm a cylon from Battlestar Galactica.
You tell me: have you found more of my doppelgangers? Or better yet, who are yours?

Wow! Doppelganger #3 gets my vote (not that you were asking) but he could literally be your twin! Very interesting...I'll keep my eyes open for more of you.
Dude, you look just like this neighbour I used to have. He lived across the hall from me, with his wife, above Pizza Delight!
Oddly enough, I haven't seen any Mitchy dopplegangers in Asia...
oh, oh, please be a cylon! they make the story much more interesting and fun! and, they really are very wonderful, and loving. hahahahaha! I love BG!!!
strangely enough, until you've mentioned it, I thought you just looked like you. :o)
the comicbook guy is pretty funny, though. dead ringer.
You totally do look like Ron Howard. CRAZY! I always thought the dude from Myth Buster's reminded me of you. It's weird that there are so many doppelganger's for you! I don't think I have any, although my aunt used to be convinced that I looked like Gwenyth Paltrow. She's a little crazy from time to time, though.
So what I'm hearing is Ron or Comic Character or some dude above Pizza Delight (sounds like a great guy, by the way). Cool.
Okay, I believe there are more lurkers out there who need to chime in on their own doppelgangers. Come out, come out wherever you are.
Back when I was bartending I had a woman come in and slap me in the face. She apparently had me confused with another bartender down the road [who everyone said was my twin] who never called her back! Even after I told her the situation she said, "nice try idiot!"
