Doppelgangers, again. Again.

EL: Mel?
MEL: Yes, El?
EL: It's time.
MEL: No, it's not.
EL: You don't even know what I'm talking about!
MEL: Doesn't matter. It's probably still not time.
EL: I hate you.
MEL: You love me.
EL: I know. I'm such a masochist.
MEL: You were saying...?
EL: Oh...that it is time...to reveal our actual Doppelgangers to the world. I know we told everybody about Other Mel & El and Other-Other Mel & El, but now we have to tell them about Famous Mel & El.
MEL: You mean, there's a Mel & El that's famous...besides us?
EL: Exactly.
MEL: Oh. I don't want to tell them. I barely survived high school with people screaming "Donna Martin graduates" as I walked through the hall. I've finally gotten to a point where I don't have people accusing me of looking like her 25 times a day.
EL: Well, I'm currently in Doppelganger Hell getting accosted at every turn, so it's time to just put it out there and deal with it. Presenting (in grand video form) OTHER FAMOUS MEL & EL!!!!!
MEL: But I don't even look like her in that video! And you caught me off guard with those stupid heads on sticks!
EL: Oh, relax. You can go find a new special therapist to process your angst later.
MEL: I hate you.
EL: You love me.
MEL: I know. I'm such a masochist.

Doppelgangers, again.



 We've already introduced you to our Doppelgangers in Chicago - otherwise known as Other Mel & El. Well, there's more where that came from! We recently learned of Another Mel & El when Actual El got a call from her Actual Dad saying that he loved that we put up videos from our childhoods on YouTube. But we didn't put up videos from our childhood on YouTube. This situation is problematic for a number of reasons:

A) As children, we did not keep records of our goofing around on videotape, we kept it on cassette tape. Cause we're old school. Or, old.


B) There isn't enough money in the world for us to publicly post the audio tape of our 12-year old selves singing songs like  "Rhythm is Gonna Getcha" by Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine. (Actually, there is enough money. Why don't you make us an offer? I mean, this could be our golden ticket. This is, like, as close to a 'sex tape' as we're ever gonna get.)


C) El's Dad went to YouTube and thought one of the girls in
this video was his daughter. Which she very clearly isn't. I mean, even
you know that. And you didn't raise El.

The ultimate point being that "Mels" & "Els" are multiplying at an unhealthy rate. As delightful as we believe ourselves to be, we realize that a world filled with millions of us would be wrong. Although, we would be able to rake in tons of cash selling our "I'm Mel" and "I'm El" shirts. So, screw that. Be fruitful and multiply, Mels and Els!


Are we the only ones experiencing this? Does everybody have versions of themselves multiplying around the world? Is the movie
Anna to the Infinite Power (which psychologically damaged Mel as a child) coming true? Has anyone besides Mel seen Anna to the Infinite Power? These questions and more will hopefully be explored and/or answered by you. Go!
