Argentine Rocket's lookalikes

I couldn't decide which one I liked best, so let the viewers decide:

Natalie Portman?

Rosario Dawson?

Jennifer Lopez...?

...or Jaws?  (my wife told me not to put this one because it might make you cry.  She also said you look like Alyssa Milano.)

Ok Burt, I got my lookalike on my blog for friday.

From kungfublonde on Sat, Dec 13, 2008 at 02:53:30

her #1 look alike is my daughter Maddy.

From Lucia on Sat, Dec 13, 2008 at 08:40:08

Soooooo good I love it!!! The last one is my favorite, hahahahahaha! Thanks Burt! This is the best b-day gift ever!

From Eric Day on Sat, Dec 13, 2008 at 12:12:07

Good one Burt. Tell your wife that Lucia has a very good sense of humor...

Thanks for the welcome.

I should be able to figure out how to add to my blog details soon.

As a quick intro, I am 48 year old American who works and lives in Bali.

Used to do triathlons and running races, but slipped back to smoking and drinking on the beach. Now committed to stopping that nonsense and getting back to the shape I prefer. Round is a shape, but not the one I prefer. LOL

Running with my wife is helping me to keep my pace down to build up endurance. speed will come later.

Thanks again for the welcome.

WOW!!!! We have one hot blogger in Lucia, do we not! I think the Rosario Dawson one is the closest, but I agree about Maddy!!! Maddy is going to look just like Lucia when she grows up.

I like the looks of real people better than Hollywood models. The ones from Hollywood have empty eyes.

Why zero for the mileage this whole week?

From Burt on Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 13:46:43

Well, I was hoping nobody would ask because it's kind of embarrasing. I tumbled down the last four steps of our stairwell at home right through the baby gate. Yes, I was holding the baby at the same time. So I had to turn so that the baby would fall on me. Luckily she didn't get hurt too bad. As for me, I think I bruised my lung. If I take a real deep breath, it kind of hurts.

From Lucia on Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 13:50:30

Wow, nice trick Burt, keeping us entertained so we wouldn't realize you're not running... Nice work saving the baby and I hope you feel better soon!

From Sasha Pachev on Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 14:14:43

You might still be able to run at a slower pace. Give it a try.

From walter on Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 16:56:38

Good garbage Burt! That is horrible news that you cant breath. Ill try not to make you laugh! Im sorry but I laughed when I heard that, not in a sadistic way but because it has happened to myself. Luckily not holding a baby either. Do you have a computer program that matches faces? You have a gift my friend! So heres to you! Cheers!(As I drink my Coke)

Lucia, I think the J-Lo photo is astoundingly similar. Wow! Arent you glad you didnt have as much metal as jaws? too funny!
