Well, this proves I'm not the only one who has conversations with himself.  I attempt to avoid verbalizing them when others are around, but I'm not always successful.

I listen to the voices in my wifes head. Seriously,to be alone with myself inside my head is mighty disturbing. At least Jacon12 actually has another personage to visit with. Photographic proof!!Clown

Just a guess, but I think your right the second time. That he mounted the camera, took the first picture, set a timer, and moved into position for the other then overlaid the pieces. Yes no?

And is there only one other voice? I could swear I'm arguing with a board of directors sometimes.

That's great, Jarrell!

Being someone with Photoshop experience, I want to know: Which person was in the "base" photo and which was added in? Or is the foreground a composite of two different photos?

My wife's naughty twin seems to appear whenever we take a train trip. She really likes train trips.   Is that on the train subject?

Jarrell,

 

I see that you get that guy visiting your layout as well.  You know, I never get anything done when he is around.  I figure I must spend at least as much time staring at the layout as I do working on it.  Always appreciate your taking the time to make a humorous post.

 

BTW:  Jarrell,  I think it is a good time for you to re-post the hilarious
"model railroading is fun" picture from several years ago.  An oldie but a goodie.

I don't think I have an evil twin, maybe I'm the evil twin?

Oh, I tell him where he can put it, but he never listens.  What's bad is when I'm standing there talking to him and my wife walks in.

 In case anyone hasn't figured it out, the grumpy- know- it- all, nothing- is- ever- good- enough, is the one on the right.  The one on the left, the real me, just tries to humor and please him but rarely succeeds.

And if I've told him once I've told him a thousand times.... Don't lean on the layout!  Please!!

Wow.  You ran all the way around to the other side of the layout in what, 1/250 of a second?  Man, that's fast.
