The Sibling Below Me...

[Swatopluk]

After reading about more nefarious deeds of conservatives and industry oies would be clearly too harmless an option, unless soaked in mustard (and I do not mean the condiment).

The sibling below me eats humble pie

[Opsa]

I find it settles my stomach after overindulgence in hubris.

The Sibling Below Me thinks that Hubris would be a good name for a pet.

[Swatopluk]

Sure, as a companion to my beloved Hybrid.

The sibling below me will make* a poem on pets and post it here.

*not just take somebody else's

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

I'll talk about Hollandicus
my gray cockatiel pet
who came home on a Monday
to figure out on Tuesday
that things were still not set
and that's the day I met
my dear beloved Nymphicus

TSBM will criticize the metric.
---
Edit: either the metric is so awful nobody dares criticize it, or the poem is so sub-lime no answer can come from it. TSBM can change the subject altogether if (s)he is uncomfortable with the subject.

[Opsa]

The metric always messes me up- all those centimeters and litres... why can't the rest of the world just use inches and gallons like we do in the U.S.? I mean, if we can learn it, they certainly can! 

The Sibling Below Me has a measured reply.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Obviously the world wants to embrace your very exclusive club (do Liberia and Myanmar get a vote?).

TSBM wants twelve fingers.

[Opsa]

So I can play the Spanish Guitar!


The Sibling Below Me wants to play the Sitar.

[Aggie]

Ayuh, but I'm clumsy and dyslexic so I just ended up falling down the stairs.

TSBM has learned not to keep bottles of hotsauce on the bedside table the hard way.

[Opsa]

Aye, it didn't do a thing for my pinkeye!

The Sibling Below Me thinks that all white rabbits have pinkeye.

[Swatopluk]

Since all rabbits I know have red eyes, I'd expect albino ones to have ruby ones.

The sibling below me will speculate about the eye colour of rabbis.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

You mean below the black hat and dress?

TSBM was thinking on rabies.

[Swatopluk]

Indeed, but that is rather colourless. Oh, you wrote on?
Don't think people with rabies think much at all.

The sibling below me will describe the plot of Bambie III - Bambie catches rabies

[Opsa]

Bambie, now an adult with a huge rack (and yes, I'm still talking about the deer, here), is leaping majestically through the woods one fine day when he accidentally stomps upon Foamer, the rabid raccoon, who promptly bites him on the leg, passing on his wretched disease to the proud buck. The resulting delirium makes for super animated sequence, rivaling the "Pink Elephants on Parade" number in Dumbo, but far more bizarre and scary, and instead of doing the Rhumba, the translucent neon dream deer do the macarena while puking out psychedelic rainbows. As paralysis nears, some Faceless Hunters appear and being drunk, lazy and bad shots as well, take advantage of the dying animal to carry his body off on the front of their four wheel drive vehicle, little noticing that the blood on their hands will soon repay them for their antics. This movie does not end at all well, and is not recommended for children under 12, or anyone any sensibilities at all, and is destined to be a blockbuster hit. Please give me top billing and half the profits.

The Sibling Below Me is sorry s/he read that.

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

Actually it sounds like a cool animated movie, although the drawings would have to convey the gradual psychosis with violent strokes and psychedelic colors. Add some witty and angry dialog and its a hit.

TSBM now thinks I have rabies.

[Pachyderm]

Actually, I can guarantee I don't, due to having to get inoculated against it (work with bats, and the little bastards are very bitey, and can carry rabies)



TSBM is inoculated against hideous diseases as well.
