I'd prefer to makeaword and call it "More-ons of the Day," but the operable word would usually be misconstrued. Structured lessons often provide some basic information--and generally stagnate your mind--but that which you learn in the trenches makes you more aware.

You should evaluate a book by its cover, but you mustn't judge outright.

I was just at a local convenience store, buying beer and smokes. Clean t-shirt (for once), dime-store swimshorts, kitten scars everywhere, grimy eyeglasses. My usual getup.

Oh, and the tan "Ka" hat gifted to me by ~Ally~. Plus my crazyman beard.

A youngish black guy with dreads, walking a bit thuggy and wearing a yellow road worker's reflective vest approached me.

"Yo man, I just had to check. I thought you was Sai King. Thought it was my lucky day!"

We talked a smidge, a little about King, and joked about my upcoming auditions for "Duck Dynasty" and "Swamp People."

"You gonna have to get that Louisiana patois down first, man."

I don't see much resemblance, but three times over the past 15 years someone in a gas station has told me I look like Our Guy.

People can be a good surprise if you just simply pay attention to something other than you.

Hmmm...you were wearing a clean t-shirt? Guess some things really do change! :wink:

You do have a King-ish resemblance...it's noticeable in the eyes, and mouth/smile.

And yup, people can be a good surprise, glad you're finally noticing that.

No pictures. Imagine if Hagrid and Gimli had a demi-human lovechild.

Close enough.
