Literary Doppelgangers
The subtlest smirk closes in on an untold joke; the heavy eyelids weighed down by ponderous thoughts; the broad nose a bridge to the mind; the fragile inverse window of tiny spectacles. William Butler Yeats and David Foster Wallace don’t have much in common, except to say that the latter did perhaps the far opposite of rhyming, his work mired in syntactical and phonetic difficulty. Notice what looks to be a faint scar on WBY’s cheek, and its uncanny reflection in DFW’s deep crease at the same place. But only one is wearing a bandana, so we know who the gangsta is. That it is white, a soft surrender.
Not sure if anyone else noticed this during Germany’s World Cup run, but their midfielder Ozil looks just like a younger Paul Auster.

“so we know who the gangsta is”
So we know that Jimmy Chen knows nothing about Yeats.
can’t decide if i wanna 187 or 5150 your ass
“…. don’t have much in common, except to say that the latter did perhaps the far opposite of rhyming, his work mired in syntactical and phonetic difficulty.”
Huh? So… Yeats (also) did the far opposite of rhyming–whatever that is–?
I’d like to see Jimmy Chen nudified! Oh… wrong post, sorry.
more like 419
yeats rhymed and wallace didn’t, jesus christ
Yeah but aren’t some of his rhyme schemes kinda complicated?

(I did this in MS Paint.)
I kept thinking that Ozil looks like a young Peter Lorre crossed with somebody. Now I know who that somebody is. Thank you.
Glad I could help

then you should have written that–not: they don’t have anything in common except they don’t have anything in common. which–i guess–is what you wrote. connie is right. plus if you actually think the opposite of rhyming is not rhyming?–well, phil is right. you just think all white people look alike, right? you should stick to pictures, chen.
To not have anything in common is a commonality.
I think WB looks more like a young glasses wearing Dan Akroyd
all white people do look alike: http://htmlgiant.com/web-hype/literary-doppelgangers-4/
DFW never had a girlfriend who wore live hawks on her shoulders.
He’s no Yeats, no way.
if Yeats looks like anyone other than a stoned Steve Martin I will let someone DoppelGong me in public
