Conversations with my other sister go something like this:

Her: What do you want to do tomorrow?
Me: Well, we had plans to get together at 3 to shop, so how about 3?
H: Do I have time to ____?
M: Sure. Whatever. Just let me know.
H: I don't want to get together too early, but too late would run into dinner. Just give me a time.
M: Ok. 3.
H: So I will see you at 1 or 2 tomorrow.
M: When the fruck did I say 1 or 2?

Once my relatives do some dumb stuff, I tend to avoid them. Therefore, I don't have many good stories to tell.

I have an Aunt who I've been avoiding for decades. I knew early in life that she was just odd. She has proved me right a number of times. My father tries to stay close. He is in denial!

She showed up to a family function last year with her husband. Problem was...she didn't tell anyone she was married. Yeah...that was a little awkward. :rolleyes:

I think I'll just keep avoiding her.

We're Coming With You...

She sounds fun!!

Totally. This is long, but it perfectly captures most conversations with my family and co-workers, and it may even entertain you. I love this movie!

FATHER: Cut that out, cut that out. Look, you're marryin' Princess
Lucky, so you'd better get used to the idea. [smack] Guards! Make sure
the Prince doesn't leave this room until I come and get 'im.
GUARD #1: Not to leave the room even if you come and get him.
GUARD #2: Hic!
FATHER: No, no. Until I come and get 'im.
GUARD #1: Until you come and get him, we're not to enter the room.
FATHER: No, no, no. You stay in the room and make sure 'e doesn't
leave.
GUARD #1: And you'll come and get him.
GUARD #2: Hic!
FATHER: Right.
GUARD #1: We don't need to do anything, apart from just stop him
entering the room.
FATHER: No, no. Leaving the room.
GUARD #1: Leaving the room, yes.
FATHER: All right?
GUARD #1: Right. Oh, if-if-if, uh, if-if-if, uh, if-if-if we...
FATHER: Yes, what is it?
GUARD #1: Oh, if-if, oh--
FATHER: Look, it's quite simple.
GUARD #1: Uh...
FATHER: You just stay here, and make sure 'e doesn't leave the room.
All right?
GUARD #2: Hic!
FATHER: Right.
GUARD #1: Oh, I remember. Uh, can he leave the room with us?
FATHER: N- No no no. You just keep him in here, and make sure--
GUARD #1: Oh, yes, we'll keep him in here, obviously. But if he had
to leave and we were--
FATHER: No, no, just keep him in here--
GUARD #1: Until you, or anyone else,--
FATHER: No, not anyone else, just me--
GUARD #1: Just you.
GUARD #2: Hic!
FATHER: Get back.
GUARD #1: Get back.
FATHER: Right?
GUARD #1: Right, we'll stay here until you get back.
FATHER: And, uh, make sure he doesn't leave.
GUARD #1: What?
FATHER: Make sure 'e doesn't leave.
GUARD #1: The Prince?
FATHER: Yes, make sure 'e doesn't leave.
GUARD #1: Oh, yes, of course. I thought you meant him. Y'know, it
seemed a bit daft, me havin' to guard him when he's a guard.
FATHER: Is that clear?
GUARD #2: Hic!
GUARD #1: Oh, quite clear, no problems.
FATHER: Right.
[starts to leave]
Where are you going?
GUARD #1: We're coming with you.

Sad to say, most people think I'm the crazy sib in my family. I have a younger brother who's a lot smarter and more successful than me. I also have twin sisters who are beautiful, stylish and and sophisticated. Most people can't believe they're related to me.

But they don't bike and they're all extreme Liberals, so I guess that means I'm the cool one :D

Thanks for playing the game :)

Now if Ben would just do "getting to know you - what is your favorite movie quote?" I would be all over that, with about 300 quotes.

I played a movie quote game on another message board once. You had to post a movie quote. The next person had to guess the movie, and then add their own quote, and so on and so on. It went on for months. I'm in!! Somebody start this.

Not sure if they are actually insane but my 2 younger brothers are a little different.

Middle one is a creative person @ a sub company of McCann Erikson. Not sure what he is working on now but his team created this advert for Gears of Wars that got some press: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccWrbGEFgI8

The youngest was in some bands in the Western MA area some years ago. Last one called Hot Lunch that did cover tunes with anything from Young MC to Sabbath (can't find any pics or vids - I'll have to email him). I think I corrupted him a bit at a young age making him listen to DRI's 22 song LP when he was 10. I knew something was up when he brought me to a Hatebreed/Victory show back in '97 and he was going bullshit in the pit and limping out at the end.

Gheez...where do I start with this one. My one and only older brother is an absolute nut job. In a good way...sometimes. Lets just say the dynamic went like this:

He shot me repeatedly with pellet and bb guns.
Stabbed me once with an X-acto knife.
Would devise any way to torture me.
Has put water on the front steps to freeze so when I went out the door I would fly down the steps.

On the positive side of his craziness - he uses it to push the limits when climbing or mountaineering. He's awesome and very skilled at both. Actually him and his wife. They both try to kill me everytime I visit by pushing me to the limits. Oh and they are both great bikers as well.

I really can not make any comment on the sanity of my my brother or sister, because I probably am of a similar degree of my own ..... but I have noticed that every single dog either of them has owned, has been CRAZY!! :hmmm:

So this was all training and helped you to be who you are today. How else would you get hit by a car and be on your bike a week later, while your bike is trashed?

I love the water on the steps!

I have one brother, five years younger than I, and he's one of the coolest people I know, so no insane siblings here.

We did spend a lot of time beating the hell out of each other until he was about 16, at which point we kind of grew out of it, which was lucky for me, because he was rapidly becoming a lot bigger than I am. He could break me into little pieces now, probably without much effort.
