Ayuh, and too long....  but you came back, so it's ok. 



The sibling below me isn't a sibling in the biological sense.

True, an anthropologist posits that my brothers are actually members of a tribe of Greater Apes. "Greater" by being at least a foot taller than me...

TSBM wants nothing to do with my brothers or their feet.

Do you mean they have at least one foot on top of their heads?   That might be useful for brachiating!

The Sibling below me thinks I'm deliberately obtuse.

Could be deliberate, or maybe you're just big-angled.  I bet I'm acuter than you.... 



The sibling below me is acuter than me.

At least I'm not obtuse.

The sibling below me does not care for all the angled comments.

No, I'd prefer some waves.

TsBM surfs in the bath.

Yes, but I had to buy one of those really, really short surf board so that it would fit.

The sibling below me likes to make waves.

And rock boats.


The sibling below me keeps a weather eye out.

I do.  It's over there, in a jar.  Bad weather makes it ache.

The sibling below me is reminded of the prosthetic eye that G'Kar had near the end of Babylon 5

Very useful that.  Gave "keeping an eye out" a whole new meaning.


The sibling below me knows whose battle cry was "Not in the face!"

As Slim Pickins said to Dom DeLuise (as Buddy Bizarre), "Screw you, Ah'm workin' fer Mel Brooks!"

The sibling below me DOES NOT want any Raisinettes (and can explain the connection between this and the first part of the post).

Does it have to do with watching the end of the movie on the big screen while the movie is being filmed?

The sibling below me wishes he had a time machine so that he could be the sibling above me instead.

Time machine, yes-- I would find out the answer to so many serious questions, like what really happened to Marylin Monroe, and who really shot J.R. and which president really was the first to install a flush toilet, and did someone named "John" really invent it, and what was the cause of the Ice Age movies.

Oh, truly and for certain.

The sibling below me already knows the cause of the Ice Age movies, but is not proud of that fact. 

No, actually, I don't. I don't know a thing about the Ice Age movies. Or much about the Ice Age, for that matter.

(Wiki on flush toilets is interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flush_toilet
So is Dr. Lienhard's 'Engines of our Ingenuity' on the topic.
http://www.uh.edu/engines/epi157.htm  I <3 Dr. Lienhard.)

The sibling below me could also become a John Lienhard fan, with proper exposure. http://www.uh.edu/engines/engines.htm

I suspect I could. Anyone who actively strives to reduce the general level of stupidity prevalent in today's society is good in my book.

TSBM will now reveal the name of the book in question.
