See, the sex offender should have pretended to be Roethlisberger.

See, Roethlisberger is a panty thief.

So Donovan McNabb doesn't want me to eat a McGriddle?

Yes, but as a 6'4" man I never would have been able to go into that locker room if I didn't convince them I was Kerri Strug.

To be fair, the guy who impersonated Joba Chamberlin really does look like him, that fat smarmy bastard.

Damn... thought I could be the first one to say something like that. I was wrong.

The former is a balding, 33-year-old registered sex offender living in Fort Washington, Md., who's been described in the press as "a little out of shape" and "not that athletic.

He should have pretended to be Jamarcus Russell.

No, Tiger Woods doesn't want you to eat hot dogs.

I've always thought about posing as some author women like to read. Then organizing a meet and greet at a bar, where the drunken female fans would be easily seduced into some knob gobblin' and penising.

It's all about the implication.

When I lived in California there was a baseball player with whom I shared a name with. People always asked me if I was him, which I never understood because I am not black or asian.

Whoa whoa, Don Cheadle's not really going to hurt anybody is he?

Jay Cutler? What about the five guys in front of him, pretending to be NFL-caliber linemen?

FirstNationalBastard: See, the sex offender should have pretended to be Roethlisberger.

Done in one.

Spent the weekend in jail after impersonating a retired ballplayer. Shouldn't have picked Denny McClain.

bingethinker: Jay Cutler? What about the five guys in front of him, pretending to be NFL-caliber linemen?

I thought their impression of traffic cones to be spot on. If they were pretending to be linemen they're doing a pretty terrible job.

I have a friend who is the spitting image of Reggie Miller. He looks so much like him that people will come up to him on the streets and ask for his autograph, and then people will get pissed off and say that he is lying when he tells them he isn't Reggie Miller. It is funny at times, but it does get really annoying and sometimes scary when we are hanging out.

So if any of you L.A or Chicago area Farkers are ever out on the town or just walking down the street and you think you see Reggie Miller, it's probably not him. It's probably just my friend.

So, not that I would recommend doing any of the things people mentioned in TFA did, but I'd think your friend could parlay it into getting laid once in a while, or at least some stuff like access to clubs and free drinks.

Yeah we have tried to convince him to do that to help us all get laid and drink for free, but he is one of those extremely honest people. Also he says if you can't get laid using your own name, you don't deserve getting laid. Plus the fact that people mistake him for Miller really pisses him off.
