The other day, Josh and I took the kids out to breakfast. Jackson and his cousin Noah ran outside without us to get into the car. I chased after them while Josh was inside getting a refill on his drink. As I was coming back in, a total stranger stops me and we have the following conversation.
Big stranger man: Is that your husband in the blue shirt?
Little me ( I only say little because he was soo much bigger than me): I'm not sure what my husband is wearing, maybe it's a blue shirt.
Big stranger man (who I have now noticed has gold front teeth): He was calling for Jackson?
Me (who is now becoming concerned): Yes, that's him.
Big stranger man (who now that I have noticed his teeth, I can't stop staring at them): He looks just like Big Show from the WWE!! (and he continues on his way, laughing hysterically)
As all of this is happening, Josh is starting to walk up to us. I tell him that the man said he looks just like Big Show. He says," I know". Now Big stranger man is in his car and he is calling out "BIG SHOW" and waving to us like he has just met a celebrity. Now, this is not the first total stranger who has mentioned that my husband (pictured above) has a striking resemblance to "Big Show". The first time I heard it, Josh explained to me that he hears it all the time and that Big Show is a wrestler. (those of you not familiar with the underbelly of American culture known as wrestling, please do not say you learned about it here) It is your job to now let me know if this man was completely false in his assumption that my husband looks like Big Show.
(If you wanted to learn more about wrestling (why would you) click here to be transported to the website where I found this picture.) Is it legal to use parenthesis in parenthesis?

I guess I can see why someone would say that, although I don't see it myself. I think your husband has similar hair and facial hair, but the resemblance ends there... As far I can tell form the one picture. Your husband is better looking too. That big show guy is kinda scary.
That's funny!!!! I agree with reluctant in that Josh is MUCH better looking than Big Show, but I do see the resemblance. And I just have to say.....only in the south!!!!! LOL
Amanda,
Josh is definitely better looking, but can we go back to memory lane for a brief moment. Those picture brought something to mind that I am not sure really happened and I was hoping you could set it straight for me. I have this memory of a Homecoming Carnival where there were only two off campus passes so I got in the truck of a car so I could leave too. Was it you driving this car? Oh and I think the car was some kind of white hatch back. Thanks in advance for clearing this up.
Wel, I was coming back anyway....but I did wonder why you were standing there with your hair dripping wet...
Erin- Let's clear this up, right now. It was a gold hatchback. And yes, I was the driver of said hatchback. I had totally forgotten about that. Who was with us? I can't recall. Probably better that way.
The mother of this lot- Anyone who is uncontrollably curious about what she is referring to can just pop over to her blog and check her out. She's very fun. Should be enjoyable.
Josh is way better looking.
Surely it's not a great move to tell someone they look like a dangerous wrestling star. Could turn painful.
I wonder what the effect of this post will be on your google search stats..?
Now you know better than that. GA. rednecks can't live with them or without them.
I am sorry to say that there is definately a resemblance and I am even more sad to say that I knew exactly who "Big Show" was before I even scrolled down to see the picture. He may resemble him but he is much smaller and much more attractive. But as far as less dangerous I am not sure. Sorry that I deleted the last comment I was ashamed of my gramar.
I am even more ashamed to say that I think I spelled grammar wrong.
I too have grammar/spelling issues. But I think it was Tracy Barnett that was with us...then again I thought your car was white.
yep, slight resemblence, but then i have never heard of big show. all i know about the wrestling is that it got some award for best show' or something and in accepting it they had to admit that it was fake! it's strangely addictive i bet tho...judging by the squillions of ppl who go to see it.
wot's yr email addy? i have some good news for you. if u don't want to publish it, just email me. mine's on my profile.
Well your husband does like to wrestle around right?
I don't think your husband is as scary as the big show.
