The Second Biggest Vacation Shock

Nothing can top the surprise of learning that an aquatic python was sharing our rental property last week, but the runner up for shocking vacation revelation was discovering that my dad believed Damon Wayans of "In Living Color" and his son Damon Wayans, Jr. of "Happy Endings" and "New Girl" were THE SAME PERSON.

Granted, they have the same name and look remarkably similar, but there is a 22-year age difference between father and son.  When I asked Dad if he thought Damon Wayans had Benjamin Button Syndrome, he explained that he had recently seen Keenan Ivory Wayans on TV and he had aged really well, so Dad assumed Keenan's brother Damon had as well.  My father watched the past season of "New Girl" believing Homey the Clown had joined the cast.  Hilarious. 

Six degrees of separation alert:  My brother and sometimes co-blogger's friend is engaged to the cousin of a "Happy Endings" cast member.  So, me--> Ryan--> Ryan's friend--> friend's fiancee--> fiancee's cousin--> Damon Wayans, Jr.  Boom! 

And because there is no other way to conclude a post that mentions Damon Wayans, here are a few of his greatest "Men on Film" costumes for you to enjoy.
