Not to be toeless is likely preferable in most places

The sibling below me is -less in/with/on/about/etc. many things/situations/topics/etc.
Knurrhähne sind eßbar aber empfehlen würde ich das nicht unbedingt.
The aspitriglos is edible though I do not actually recommend it.

Escept being toeless, which I recall from reading Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart in Jr High Social Studies class, was a euphemism both for wearing shoes and for having leprosy.

The Sibling Below Me has so far evaded the dire conditions accompanying modern western clothing.

Well, partially, anyway, as I tend to sleep without them!  ;D

The Sibling below me goes to bed fully dressed, shoes, hat, briefcase- the works!

Indeed I am-- I average 97 degrees F or approximately 36.5 C

Come to think of it, I average that temp most mornings, too....


Makes going to the doctors' a chore, though-- the nurses are often vexed at me for failing to keep the thermometer in place properly.  Even explaining to them that I normally run 1 or 2 degrees cooler than "average"....

The sibling below me is jealous of my lower temp-- for when I'm outdoors, my lower temp is less attractive to biting insects, so that when I stand next to them, the insects don't bite me...

And it ruins the aim of my heat seeking missiles

The sibling below me prefers cold steel anyway

Yup, specially katanas although the survival rate is higher with full metal jacket bullets.

TSBM feels more comfortable with a kevlar vest.

Reluctantly. I am more attached to chainmail personally

The sibling below me replaced his silly hat with a steel helmet but has not changed looking ridiculous

My steel helmet is actually a custom-made chain mail coif.
(I probably do look ridiculous, though...)




The Sibling Below me is able to hold civil discourse on the relatives merits of fedoras over hombergs.

Yes, to get rid of it. I does not harmonize with the chainmail and does not fit either over or under the steel helmet.

The sibling below me prefers the round shield to the square

Of course. They are 'boss'.


The sibling below me considers the 'hand and a half' sword to be a most offensive weapon.

Indeed.

Why anyone would willingly remove half of one hand to use the thing is beyond me...

The sibling below me absolutely refuses to use a bastard sword, purely on ethical grounds.

Easy, I am a battleaxe person (as already stated), so I view swords as elitist anyway. A bastard sword is the ultimate decadence.

The sibling below me thinks of naginatas as swords on sticks

Yeah, but talk about your long arm of the law...


The Sibling below me prefers barefoot wrastlin'.
