The Sibling Below Me...

[Aggie]

I already did....   one of my White Cloud Mountain Fish is missing an eyeball.  I suspect the Buddy the Betta did it.   


The sibling below me eats fish eyeballs.

[Opsa]

I suppose that's correct, since I've eaten whole smelts and anchovies.

The Sibling below me wants a smelt pizza.

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

Melted cheese on pizza-- of COURSE.

What? You mean "smelt" is some sort of fish?

Eeeeewwwww.  I'm seriously allergic to most fish.... no thanks.

The sibling below me would eat fish 24/7, if it was always fresh.

[pieces o nine]

and cooked properly

cooking is important with teh fishkies



The sibling below me won't bait their own hooks.

[Sibling Chatty]

I doozn't liek teh worm gutses....

[Aphos]

It seems the sibling above me forgot to say anything to the sibling below her.


The sibling below me thinks the Sibling Below Me is the best game in the world.

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

Oh, it is, when I'm playing.

Then, when I'm doing Something Else, it's not so much.

It's All About Me, of course.   

The sibling below me will now politely disagree--- for it is really all about them, of course.

[Sibling Chatty]

I didn't finish before because I was  and it's messy...I sowwy.

The sibling below me can let it be All About Them. (I do not work and play well with others, but I do share.)

[Opsa]

I'll go halfway and let it be All About Poptarts.

The Sibling below me suggests a Pepto Bismol Poptart for those who are baiting hooks at breakfast (or any time).

[pieces o nine]

As long as I don't have to eat them, fine. 


The sibling below me has 'upgraded' their natural hair color.

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

Indeed.  Through years and YEARS of worry, stress and general emotional turmoil, it's now showing some distinguished grey.

About time, too-- I was starting to look like the younger brother, as compared to my actual younger brother.

Of course, he is married, so that may account for his greater quantity of grey hairs...

The sibling below me will be upset that men who have greying hair are considered "distinguished" while women just look old. 

[Pachyderm]

Not at all. Despite my relatively young age, I too have started on the Winter Plumage. It did, however, lead to a comment by one of my clients (while working as an ecologist) to the effect that I was even looking like a badger...


TSBM would like to abolish grey hairs in their entirety.

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

I would, but then.... they ARE HAIRS, after all. (thanks, Gallagher)

Better grey, than skin, I always say. 

On the other hand, if and when I do loose much of my head-hair* I will likely go with that look, and just shave it all off.

The sibling below me thinks that bald men are better looking anyway.

[pieces o nine]

Ahhh, the Jean-Luc Picard look. Verra Nice.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Not so much.


The sibling below me has never had a waiter in a Chinese restaurant squint suspiciously at their driver's license, then back at them, then back at the license, then back at their hair, then tap the license and insist that it is of a "Much Younger Person".

[Opsa]

Ha! I haven't. Ya gotta love those Chinese waiters, though. They can be charming.

The Sibling below me has never had a dish described to him/her as "Chicken with Penis- Chicken cooked with special sauce and penis on top." I have a friend who received this description for Chicken with Peanuts. He decided not to order it.
