The Sibling Below Me...

[Swatopluk]

Which Lucan is actually preferable? The ancestor causing trouble in the Crimea (although mainly horses were killed) or the descendant doing his part to stem overpopulation ?
Btw, is the David Niven version of the charge coming out on Region 2 DVD anytime? I just own the slightly more accurate later version (which has an ancient silent version (about 1910 iirc) as a bonus on the DVD).

I guess the disappearence of cheese would mean the disappearence of the vital microorganisms producing it. That could indeed cause mass death including mine.

The sibling below me is not in favor of rancid milk products anyway.

[Opsa]

Not unless they're cultured. I always leave my milk out to turn at the art museum for just such a purpose. For this reason i have been banned by many local curators. Except at the Museum of Aztek Cheese Sculptures (MACS?!)

The sibling below me just took a bite out of his/her Mac.

[Swatopluk]

No fast food, apple computer or Scotsman in sight, so no byte .

Had the raincoat inventor been Welsh would it be an upIntosh? (also a pun in German)

The sibling below me scrubs the pavement with a tennis racket

[The Meromorph]

When I took up badminton, my tennis ground strokes became - well - bizarre.

The Sibling below me resonates in B flat.

[Pachyderm]

Only because I moved. I used to resonate in D flat (top of the stairs, turn right...)

The sibling below me taunts marmosets.

[Bluenose]

Say what?  Oh, bugga, I thought they were gerbils...

The sibling below me has a particular like for Igor Stravinski's The Rite of Spring

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

I do indeed, in fact I played it a few times in the horn section of Bogota's Philharmonic Orchestra. Lots of markings on top of each bar because of the complicated rhythms. It was fun and I miss those days quite a bit.

The sibling below me is having saudades.

[Pachyderm]

I miss the salad days of spring.

BTW, are you sure you aren't Scottish? The level of melancholy and longing saudades inspires is remarkably similar to that found in the North East (round Aberdeen). I got a birthday card one year from a friend's grandmother which read

"One year more, one year less"


The sibling below me will kill for cake.

[Swatopluk]

I had to murder several innocent unborn chicken to make it.

The sibling below me proposes weed-cutting to be a capital offense of murdering a living organism (exception: sexually deviant grass)

[Pachyderm]

Is that "of" or "for"?

Maybe we could re-locate the plants in question?

The sibling below me cannot stand blunt pencils.

[Swatopluk]

Yes, I can be very blunt about that. Who the [beep, beep, beep] has the sharpener again?

The sibling below me will open the internet domain youprawn.com with lots of saucy fish, whale, squid and crustacean videos.

[Opsa]

They had some pretty good fish sauce recipes, too!

The sibling below me got kicked out of The Admiral Benbow.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Walked the plank, actually. They told me it was a honor.

The sibling below me doesn't like shark fin soup, specially when still attached to the swimming body

[Pachyderm]

It's all the pointy teeth, see? That and the fact Oi can't swim. Don't loike gettin' to close ter water, see. Bain't healthy, an' di-loots the rum summat shockin'.

The sibling below me has two left feet.

[The Meromorph]

Well, not exactly.
I have two feet left. The other two got changed into hands sometime in my ancestry, and now if I walk on them I get shoeprints on my fingers. (there's a complicated indirect unvoiced double-pun in there somewhere  )

The sibling below me wishes people like me weren't so pretentious.
Or silly.
Or wilful.
Or wierd.

Oh, let's face it, the sibling below me farts sawdust.
