    I can’t thumb either one, BFH, because of the way you’ve worded them. There is a vague facial similarity, but the nose, and I believe the ears, look wrong. Those things are hard to change abruptly, unlike eyebrows and facial hair.

    I have not been able to thumbs up for a long time. computer malfunction or something, but I don’t think the one on the top looks like the other two.

    There’s no WAY that’s the same creep.

    The most obvious thing is that the eye color is different.
    But overall, Holmes has sharp, “chiselled” features. The other guy has a coarser look to him. The nose is completely wrong.

    The guy in the top has some Cherokee in him, in the other two photos the guy has cheek bones like Lizzy Warren.

    We should call this P.I. and ask him WTF, But we would interrupt his 109th viewing of episode 12 of Mickey Spillane’s I suck as a private dick. For crying out loud, look at the cheek bones.

    I can only hope that two thumbs up were a mistake click, a joke, or they have a flickering crt monitor.

    Facial hair can be changed, but the lips and nose look different, for sure.

    not that we have to nitpick, because the overall is so patently absurd, but it looks like Holmes cannot grow hair in his Angel’s Cleft.
    Some men can, some can’t.

    These are two different people. Lips, nose, ears, eyes- none of them match. The only thing slightly similar is that they both have square chins and curly hair.

    The asswipe from Aurora also has Marty Feldman eyes, and the dude on top doesn’t.

    BFH–

    Not sure what you mean by the “fence sitters” comment. I just couldn’t thumb up the “looks NOTHING like” wording.

    I am fairly certain it’s not the same guy, but I wasn’t 100% sure.

    Menderman, Katechon, and Dianne pointed out the broader face in the top photo. That’s also hard to fake, as it looks like wider bone structure and not just fat. Eye color, though, is easy to alter with contact lenses. As far as eye color is concerned, the top two actually look more alike than the bottom two.

    Judging by the eyes, the first guy is wearing a thong, and not happy about it. The last two, tidy whiteys.

    this is the only way that i can explain this atrocity:

    “cos i’m g.a.e”
    “i’m dynamite”
    “g.a.e”
    “and I’ll win the fight”
    “g.a.e.”
    “i’m a power-load”
    “g.a.e.”
    “watch me explode”

    I don’t think the turd would have the guts to socialize in an urban environment. He was bugging for a suburban Levitown swap party. That was the limit of his socializing.

    the middle guy sold me great meth and faulty condoms at last years Warped Tour.
    This probably won’t work without being able to embed photos in comments.
    I gave it a shot.

    The top guy looks like the keyboardist from The Young Rascals. Of course, what the hell do I know about Faces. I’ve always hated Rod Stewart.

    (just a bit of cross-confusion to confuse the already confused)

    Facial recognition software would nix the one on top being the same as the ones on the bottom. Look at the ears. They are different. That is how the experts tell.

    The thing would spit it out with a note that said, “are you friggin kidding?”

    This is like comparing Oliver Reed to Peter Cooke and having some people say, “they look exactly alike.”

    Okay, I get it. “Absolutely sure” wasn’t absolutely me. I split hairs for a living, with my editing, so I sometimes cavil.
