The Sibling Below Me...

[Aphos]

A three ostrich egg omelet wold provide breakfast for a week...for a football team.


The sibling below me charges 25 cents for a dime novel.

[Swatopluk]

Given that Groschenhefte ('10 penny booklets') cost more than that for about a century now, 25 cents would be selling far under market price.

The sibling below me wishes the time back when a £ was indeed a pound of silver.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Only in exchange for a pound of gold.

TSBM was thinking on platinum.

[Griffin NoName]

Thinking on anything is a miracle.

TsBM thinks everything is a miracle.

[Swatopluk]

Otherwise it would have to be all mirages

The sibling below me lives on the other side of the looking glass by night

[Sibling DavidH]

Well, that way I can hide from the phantom.

The Sibling Below Me is also much troubled by phantoms.

[Swatopluk]

Fortunately few F-4 fly over this house these days.

The sibling below me lives in tornado alley

[Aphos]

Living near Tulsa, Oklahoma...yes, yes I do.


The sibling below me keeps a tempest in his teapot.

[Swatopluk]

It makes the teaspoon for stirring obsolete.

The sibling below me has the cup rotating around the spoon instead.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

I had to put the old turntable to use.

TSBM prefers vinyl.

[Sibling DavidH]

No, I'd rather stick to tea.

The Sibling Below Me also tends to eschew new-fangled beverages.

[Pachyderm]

Pah! They are all the work of Satan and his minions. Water, that's the ticket!

TSBM disagrees.

[Opsa]

Thar's sumpin to be said fer rum.

The Sibling Below Me can drink me under the table.

[Aphos]

And over the table and beside the table, too.



The sibling below me likes his rum with a gin chaser.

[Swatopluk]

Once he has had enough he will leave the skirtchasing to me

The sibling below me will tell us how skirtchasing works in Scotland
