Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for August 02, 2018

Strangers strike up conversation with me all the time, as if they know me from somewhere. Sometimes I play along. They literally mention events and places and other people that I know nothing about.

If a police officer walks up to you, and says “You look familiar,” it might be a good time to panic. But, then, someone, like me, with a brown skin, is more likely to look “familiar,” even, if newly arrived in town.

If someone says that to you Aunty just say ’I’m a porn star you must be watching my movies’ That will shut them up .

What they mean is that you look over familiar.

I’m not familiar with this predicament.

Almost every time I meet someone new, they tell me I look just like someone else they knew. It’s become an inside joke in my family. We make bets on how long it’ll take for a new person to “recognize” me.

It’s common amongst those hiding from the coppers, Aunty.

It’s the top Aunty. LOTS of women have that top.

I’m tired of getting punched in the face because of what someone who looks vaguely like me did to the guy I’ve never even Seen before.

Must be those posters in the post office.

Back when I was younger, some said that I looked like “Weird Al” Yankovic. Back then we both wore glasses had crazy curly hair (Jew-fro) and a mustache.
