The Sibling Below Me...

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

I'd be very happy to do that-- but why not avail yourself of one of the monastery's Igors, instead?  Not only can they tow your brain without damage, they are quite well equipped to replace all or parts.  All they ask is for their spares back, once you're done using it...

The sibling below me is a big fan of leaving various body-parts to the Igors, once they are done using them.

[Sibling Kephra (Tansy)]

Well, being such a fan of recycling and all. Waste not want not.  Turn, turn, turn.

The sibling below me has been busy with 'whatever you celebrate this time of year' decorations.

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

If by busy, you mean plugging the lites in that I left up from last year, then yes. 

The sibling below me also has holiday decorations left from last year.

[Sibling Chatty]

Yes, I do. They're still in their boxes, and will probably stay there. (Bah, Humbug!)


The sibling below me will choose to ignore my Scroogeitude, unless it turns into Grinchiness.

[Swatopluk]

We still need a Santa Cthulhu

Call me once it goes beyond mere Grinch and if you are interested!

The sibling below me wants a shoggoth pet for solstice

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

Oooh, I have a teacher I want to sick it on. *Here, shoggoth, shoggoth, shoggoth, I have a nasty little treat for you...*

The sibling below me plans to ask Virgil for a tour of Limbo when they get there. Or Beatrice, if they go the other way.

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

Indeed. Limbo sounds much more to my liking that either of the other places...

The sibling below me has a completely different take on things-- similar to what Robert Heinlein wrote in Job: A Comedy of Justice

[Sibling Chatty]

I think I read that in my fit of Heinlen reading. It's been years, though. I'm just not that much a Heinlen fan. Give me Ellison for the "SF" vein.

The sibling below me will choose ANY other Science Fiction author, rather that choose Harlan Ellison as favorite.

[Swatopluk]

Given that the only Harlan I know of had Veit as given name (and a deservedly bad reputation), I'd indeed choose a different one.
Stanislaw Lem, Douglas Adams, Herbert W. Franke...make your choice.

The sibling below me will go aboard Starship Titanic with Terry Jones.

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

Yes, I'd like that, I think.  Especially if I get to meet Terry Jones!

The sibling below me would rather meet John Cleese

[Swatopluk]

Could we compromise on Michael Palin (Chapman is at the moment a bit difficult to meet)?

The sibling below me has met Marvin the paranoid android personally.

[goat starer]

met him? I AM him!

the sibling below me will have the last thought "Oh no! Not Again!"

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

Seeing as how reincarnation is but one of the many explanations of an afterlife that I find compelling, it's very likely ...

The sibling below me wonders why, when people discover their past lives, they ALWAYS are of famous people-- and no one ever talks about a past life of an ordinary person...

[Swatopluk]

The famous people where usually schizophrenic and therefore needed a lot of souls to fill them. The ordinaries lived through soulless lives mostly.

The sibling below me is stunned by that ingeniously ridiculous explanation.

[DaveL]

Oh no, I totally believe you 

The Sibling below me remembers their former life as an Aztec priest.
