- What's the difference between someone wearing a <famous person> facemask,
- and <famous person>?
-
- Might it have something to do with the fact that <famous person> really
- *is* <famous person> through and through, rather than being a pallid
- imitation, lacking whatever skills, talents, ability, or whatever made
- <famous person> famous?

- If I disguised myself as Michael Jordan, I still wouldn't be able to
- slam-dunk a basketball in an NBA basket. If I let my beard grow out
- more and dyed my hair so I'd look something like Eric Clapton I still
- wouldn't be able to play guitar worth a damn.
-
- If I slap a garish color face on DOS it still has 8.3 filenames and
- "Abort, Retry, Ignore?" lurking inside.
