Yes.  And the dead have risen and are voting Republican.


The sibling below me is a member of the Wild Party.

Sibling Chatty

I will plead the 5th, if you guys haven't drunk it dry already...

The sibling below me would rather drink than plead.
This sig area under construction.

Aphos

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.


The sibling below me once drank a fifth on the Fourth.

No -- I'm careful about that.
But I got pulled over in a small town anyway, just in case...


The sibling below me always updates license plate stickers in a timely manner.

Indeed.  I set the clock, just to be sure.

And, I always scrape off the old one first--- 'round here, if you have more than 2 layers of stickers, certain folks have been known to scrape the whole 'shebang off (stealing stickers).   If it ain't nailed down..... an'if it is, where's m'crowbar?  (or in this case, a razor scraper...)

*bleah*

The sibling below me prefers humor on this thread to somber laments about the 'barely human' aspects of society... .

I do. I just can't think of anything funny to say...

Choose well-connected parents with multi-generation trust funds.


The sibling below me chose parents with better qualifications.

As above, but Mum has a Masters Degree, and Dad is a Professor, with tenure.

TSBM wants a return to the use of the abacus.

Either that or the Slide Rule*

The sibling below me likes to eat Jello warm, before it actually sets up.

____________

* I learned to use one of these, back in the 11th grade.  My chemistry teacher let you use them on the tests, as a reward for learning how to use them.  As they are not all that hard to use, for basic maths (multiplication, division, square root, etc) of course I learned.  I had several over the years.... Long since lost.  What is more interesting, however, is the theory of how they work, and how that relates to mathematics.

Scriblerus the Philosophe

Yup. Sweet and delicious. And it doesn't make a funny sound when you suck it through a straw.


The sibling below me can play the nose flute and the pit-harp.

Opsa

Well, I did until that terrible day when I picked my flute and shaved my harp.

The Sibling below me shall have music wherever he or she goes.

Pachyderm

One of the voices has taken up the piano....


TSBM will now sing, for our edification.

Every sperm is great.

True. I dream of making a pilgrimage to Doune Castle and to explore the grounds at a sedate coconut trot.


The sibling below me also has their own coconuts.

I have a lovely pair of coconuts.


The sibling below me appreciates huge tracks of land.
