 6 years since the last post? How did that happen?

Anyways, flipping through the TV channels this weekend and came across a strongman competition. I love strongman competitions and always get sucked in. Then the unexpected, but not surprising, happened: Strongman Sal:

Actually, it's Strongman Bobby Thompson.

Spoiler: He did not win. But he gave his best. Classic Sal.

Thanks for reminding me to get on the ball, Sal! I've been meaning to do this one for awhile. It's not obvious at first, but it has stuck with me:

Actor/Comedian Louis CK.

He even gets the uniform right.

*Continuing our celebration of Salvatore's birthday , here is the second of 2 special posts!*

This one is another submission, in effect, from the archives, by my lovely wife Claire:

When she and I were newly dating and Sal and I worked together at the museum, Claire was leaving the museum one day after meeting us for lunch and found this in the parking lot. She showed it to me later and said "I think this looks just like Sal!" I was skeptical at first, but age progression software proves her point. Happy Birthday, Baby Sal!

*On the occasion of Sal's birthday, here is the first of 2 special posts!!!*

Our 2nd submission comes via Facebook from none other than SAL himself:

Says Sal: How's this for a doppelgänger!

Pulled this from my dad's Italian tabloid.

Thanks, Sal! And thanks to you, unknown Italian tabloid 
doppelgänger dude.

This one reminds me of the time when Sal thought about becoming a "hipster". The result would have been something like this.

Artist's sketch of a dead priest from Season 2, Episode 17, The Priest in the Churchyard of the FOX tv series Bones.

Seriously, I wish any of my drawings of Sal looked this much like Sal. Plus, the priest thing is somewhat fitting too.

Way too long since the last post. I have no excuse. It's a shame too, because I have quite a few lined up and just can't seem to get them posted. I'll start off slowly.

Stash, from the PBS cartoon series Click & Clack's As the Wrench Turns, based on the on-air personalities of Tom and Ray Magliozzi of NPR's Car Talk radio show.

Great radio show, God-awful cartoon.

Wow, it has been a good long while since the last post. Christmas and then a crazy work schedule got the better of me for awhile. (I actually had a whole Christmas themed series planned out, but ...maybe this year.) So, part of my schedule included a short work trip to Paris, and the next few posts are inspired by that.

I watched part of a movie, Sixty-six, on the plane,  and this next fellow was the star of that:

Actor Eddie Marsan

(I know in my heart that there is the perfect picture of this guy to capture the Sal sensation, but

 I haven't run across it. So here's another to flesh out the overall look.)
