Isn't their skin tone/hair texture incompatible with the region Jesus was from? This is an honest question.

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :

At least their eyes aren't blue.

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

Well I guess I could change the question to "Who would your stereotypical Jesus be?" But it just doesn't quite look as good as a thread title.

And, there is a guy from Syria in a recent article on the Phoneicians in National Geographic who is a dead ringer for Frisco, if Frisco has a tan. I tried to find it to link to it on Hatrack but National Geographic didn't put it on their website. I should scan it in for evidence but I feel slightly guilty.

I don't think Jesus would wear that hat, either.

Posted by Space Opera (Member # 6504) on :

AJ, I think you should change it to, "Who looks more like the man that whiteys try to convince themselves is Jesus?" [Wink]

I vote for #1; he's got that special Jesus twinkle in his eyes.

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

So, who's contestant #1, anyway? Or should I know?

Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :

I'm thinking Jesus would look a tad more uncomfortable with ladies hanging on him than Frisco looks.

I vote number 1.

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

You SHOULD scan in that National Geographic one, AJ -- I saw it, and it should definately be a contender -- if not for Jesus, at least for a Frisco look-alike contest.

[Big Grin]

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

Photo #2 -- Jesus, Mary & Martha (blasphemous, I know)

Posted by Space Opera (Member # 6504) on :

Is #1 Icky?

space opera

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

Actually, Frisco was hanging on the ladies, if we're being accurate here.

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

Eljay - it's Johnny Damon

as in HERE

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

Trust me #1 has as many ladies hanging off of him as he wants at any time.

AJ

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

And Johnny Damon would be...?

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

(see the additonal picture I added... He's the Boston Red Sox Outfielder. Mack would have your head spitted on a sword...)

AJ

Posted by TheTick (Member # 2883) on :

He play for the World Series Champion Red Sox, ElJay.

Yeah. Paint Frisco blue, though, and he'd make a killer Krishna.

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

I'm not confused. Just completely and happily sports-ignorant.

Posted by AvidReader (Member # 6007) on :

I am confused. Do we have two lady happy Eddies? Or does Frisco=Lalo? That's who I assumed it was.

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

quit screwing with your first post, Banna! Oh - and the second link (with 2004 in the URL path) doesn't work)

They are often confusing

Posted by AvidReader (Member # 6007) on :

I obviously don't get out enough. Night all.

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

They claim to be different people, but since I've only met one of them I cannot factually verify that.

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

Yeah Farmgirl, its fixed I won't mess with it anymore [Grumble]

stupid parentheses

Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :

Lalo's pic is his avatar on GreNME, or so he claims.

Posted by Olivetta (Member # 6456) on :

I'd vote for Frisco, who is not Lalo.

Though Lalo does occassionally flirt with him...

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

Occasionally?

They are both named Eddie - that's where the confusion comes in.

Remember that Jesus spent his time among sinners and the infirm.

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

and prostitutes

So I was catching up on Get Fuzzy:

Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :

Frisco's eyes aren't blue? They look blue on my computer.

Now I'm trying to figure out if the women in the picture are sinners, infirm or prostitutes.

Isn't it cute that all three of them have dimples?

:jealous:

I still like the [wink]other[/wink] picture of him better.

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

note to self and others: If you see me on IM tonight yell at me for not scanning in the picture from National Geographic. Hmmm, You know I might actually take a picture of the page with my new digital camera, and just plug it in and download it via USB. It might even be easier than scanning.

AJ

Posted by ElJay (Member # 6358) on :

:confused again:

I do not have dimples.

Posted by Altáriël of Dorthonion (Member # 6473) on :

I just think that JC wasn't as white as he is portrayed. Its just so illogical that he would have that complexion when he lived in such a hot desert...

Posted by Frisco (Member # 3765) on :

Man, I never got this much attention before I started resembling a famous baseball player/spawn of a major deity.

Except from Kayla. You send a woman one naked picture...

And I have to throw in my vote for Johnny. Much like Jesus and his water---->wine trick, Mr. Damon has figured out how to turn facial hair---->cash money. Me? I've turned facial hair---->attention, and nothing more. [Razz]

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

You've turned it into a woman magnet, Frisco.

And it's not just the beard -- it's the long beautiful locks. So don't change any of it -- I think you're much sexier with long hair than the photos without.

(not that my opinion counts for much)

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

Frisco you've got much better teeth than Johnny Damon. His are too far apart or something.

AJ

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

Is #1 Icky?

Bah. I have longer hair than either.

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

Icky I don't recall seeing a picture of you before. I may have but I don't remember. Yeah you are now contestant #3.

[Smile]

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

That's really you, Icky? Wow -- I forgot you were/are so young....

Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :

Ooh, another hot guy. How is it that I've never seen a picture of Icky before?

Icky, just remember, I followed you around long before I knew you were cute. [Wink]

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

Frisco's clever, sweet, and funny. I have a hard time believing he needs the Jesus look to get attention.

I think it shows how used to short hair and clean-shaven men we are that almost every story I've read about Johnny Damon mentions the beard in there somewhere. I don't read the sports pages, though, so if he's in mainstream press, it's for something other than baseball ability. [Smile]

Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :

personally, I'd think attention from women is a much better deal than ability to turn water into wine or make money. You get the right woman, she provides booze and cash.

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

So you are in the market for a Sugar Mamma, Kama?

AJ

Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :

Once I get to make big money.

Posted by BannaOj (Member # 3206) on :

Kama if you are the one making the Big Money, then you would be the Sugar Mamma yourself. I thought you wanted to pick up a woman who could take care of you?

Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :

Ah.

Well, honestly, I'd rather it was a guy. But a chick will do, if she's hot enough.

For the time being, though, I'll be trying to see if I can make the big money myself. It'd be sorta fun to be a Sugar Mamma [Cool]

I thought that was "Suga Momma".

Don't ask me, I'm Polish, I retyped after AJ.

And I'm a blond white girl. I'll ask Steve tonight what proper ghetto-speak would be. I think i've heard it both with and without the "r". Though maybe he says it wrong himself in his normal voice when he calls me his
