The Sibling Below Me...

[Aphos]

If it's all the same to you, I'd rather be in Philadelphia.

The sibling below me takes umbrage at that thought.

[pieces o nine]

I'm adding it to my umbrage collection; I plan to collect them all and trade them with my friends...


The sibling below me has some good stuff to trade.

[Alpaca]

It's in a brown bag marked lunch.

The sibling below me makes perfectly innocuous objects look threatening.

[Bob in a quantum-state-of-faith]

Indeed I do.

It's easy:  simply suspend them at a great height, by very fine threads, over a commonly used path or door.

Then wait for some victim to come along, and point out how thin the threads are, holding up the object over their heads....

....scary, hunh?

The sibling below does not fall for that-- they will simply step to the side... same as avoiding an oncoming train...

[Alpaca]

I don't fall for it, unless my sidestep is into a hole.

The sibling below me plays human chess.

[Swatopluk]

I find chess inhuman (even without some certain specimens of players)

The sibling below me hasn't yet washed the hog.

[Alpaca]

That's hogwash!

The sibling below me holds press conferences.

[Swatopluk]

Wine and book presses from all over the country visit them.

The sibling below me is impressed about this expression

[Alpaca]

It induces mental compression.

The sibling below me breathes fire.

[Opsa]

I can't help it. I really enjoy red onions.

The Sibling Below Me looks through a glass onion.

[Sibling Lambicus the Toluous]

I tend to see the onion as half-empty.

The sibling below me is an onion optimist.

[Sibling Chatty]

I'm always optomistic about alliums!! So many phytochemicals!

TSBM like aliens as much as alliums.

[pieces o nine]

True. Especially if they're wearing a hat and long scarf.


The sibling below me can make a professional-looking scarf joint.

[Opsa]

Well, I could back in the 70's, but not lately. 

The Sibling Below Me thought we were talking about knitting.

[Aggie]

Ayuh, and I thought that Lennon was talking about woodworking in "Glass Onion".

The Sibling Below Me knows that the aforementioned song is about reaching the bottom of your ship's booze-bottle and peering inside to find out where all the rum went.
