Smokey says "Only you can prevent forum flames."

Three friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, the rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair.

He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close down, but they would not. He asked his mother to go and ask the friars to get out of the business. They would not.

So, the rival florist hired Hugh McTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to persuade them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close their business. Terrified, they did so - thereby proving that...

...only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

[Raiser Blade]

Yeah, he's our own house demon...

Our other cat is Chewy, since as a kitten, he would pounce on people's ankles and..well..chew on them.

Aw not chewy as in chewbacca? Oh well chewy is still an awesome name for a kitteh.

I have a cat who's Luke after Luke Skywalker...

Go figure. My brother named him when he was 6...I was 8 at the time and called the other cat Charcoal. Luke and Charcoal. He was voting for Darth Vader but I didn't allow it...he used to call Charcoal "Vader" just to get a rise out of me; he'd follow me around doing it till I lost my temper and walloped him and then go running to Mom.

*sigh* siblings...

*sigh* siblings...

Siblings are great.

[eidreff]

Having more siblings than most I can vouch that they really do taste great when slowly grilled, smothered in mustard and served on toast.


As for cute pets I think my friends labrador retriever was one of the best.

She had just had a litter of puppies and found his wallet (with a large amount of paper cash in it) on the worktop in the kitchen. She proceded to swipe said wallet along with all of the credit cards and other bits and bobs in it and gave it to the puppies.

She was found chewing a cellphone next to the mangled remains of the wallet.

In a blind panic, thinking he had been robbed my friend ransacked the whole house.

The puppies meanwhile had managed to get inside the sofa, and were busy making a nest out of all of those lovely soft pound notes.

About six hours of panic later they were found curled up, incredibly cute in their nest.

All my siblings are considerably older than me, so I don't have any great stories of siblings. By the time I had any sense of what was good or interesting, they were already far past me. So I imagine they'd be telling those sorts of stories about me, rather than the other way around.

Also, I've never had any cute pets. Two dogs. I have been owned by a cat, though. I don't think describing it the other way around would be entirely accurate.

Siblings are great.

Siblings are meh. Especially when you're the oldest. Example:Me, aged eight had just met and fallen in love with C S Lewis' Narnia. I had the box set for Christmas. A dew days into January my darling sister, aged three, found them and preceded to rip the last five chapters of Book Three out of thebook and into tiny pieces.
I was six chaptes from the end.
So, in retribution I threw her doll down the stairs. A button fell off. My sister threw a tantrum and who got grounded? Me. That's right. Five chapters of a book versus a button.
I only forgave her when she did that cute thing toddlers do. She drew a picture and gave me a copy of the book for my birthday. Well, Mum did, but you know.
Siblings: Spawn of the devil and creation of the angels.
They shape you too. I wouldn't be me without them but they're EVIL. Then GOOD. Stupid TN brats.

[Almighty Salmon]

Damn right Curly, it is worst when you're eldest.

I have a little brother and sister, they're 12 and twins. Everyday they team up to attempt to make my day a living hell, they drive me up the freakin' wall.

[wadledo]

@curly: Fair enough.

Siblings are vicious little bastards who will hate you until the day you die and have such a deep impact on your early life that you have no choice but to let them affect you, and when they do, they rip your life apart and cause you untold pain.

[eidreff]

Try being eldest of 9 brothers and 4 sisters. (all to same parents, not twins etc).

I learned to change nappies before I got to secondary school!


I'm thirty and they still all gang up on me.

[Sir_Norbert]

Wow, that's pretty awesome :)

I'm the older of just two, but I've always wanted to have a large family so that my children will have some interesting sibling stories to share ;)

[Ceska]

I have a four year old sister. She's the kid of my father and his second almost-wife-but-not-married. I only see her every second weekend. Even then I'm always done for at Sunday evening.

[Cyrano]

Nothing's as bad as having siblings that are the opposite of evil.
Stupid amazing perfect nice brothers.

EDIT: Bye all! This time I really SHOULD be gone for a month or so. See ya later.

[Raiser Blade]

I have four younger brothers....

[SMEE]

So... I've spent a few hours playing with my two years old nephew today at his birthday party.
I'm feeling unusually happy and satisfied. It was awesome.

[Em Blackleaf]

I have two older brothers which is better than having a sister. At least they don't steal my clothes and makeup. Krimm does steal my hair ties, though.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Must...resist...innuendo...so...hard.

On families: My Mum is one of ten living (two died very young) siblings and my Dad is one of nine. I love hearing their anecdotes; and Christmas is always satisfying.

Two older brothers? The other one doesn't have an account on this forum does he? I don't want to have to avoid him aswell

[Em Blackleaf]

No, the other one doesn't have an account here. He's not as protective, anyway.

[Crimmy]

why avoid brothers??
i don't avoid RS, but there's still another brother and a sister, and they have'nt entered the forums yet.

[Dallas-Dakota]

About siblings :
I have one older brother, exactly 3 years older, not an day less or more, yes, our birthdays are on the same day.
He can be pretty cool, we gaming toghetter(Yes, he's also an gamer, AND he's an absolute DnD freak, nothing about his characters can be simple...), though thank the lord that he isnt on GITP....

Protectives older brothers.

Deadly, Apparently.

You can't know that until you try.

[CurlyKitGirl]

I say middle brothers are more annoying. I have two in the middle and they bug me and bully our sister - the youngest of us. I believe Mum refers to them as Unholy Terrors From Heaven because they're not old enough to assume responsibilty for anything (that's all me) and they ren't the youngest so they can't be doted on or always believed.
They're stuck in the middle and bleeedin' annoyed about it too.

[I'm da Rogue!]

Suddenly, I feel so lucky for not having brothers or sisters...

[Dragonrider]

I have three younger brothers, aged fourteen, ten, and 3 1/2. The oldest has an account on the forums but we frequent different circles...
They're all annoying at times, the 3-year-old less so...he's too cute to be annoying. I'll be living away from home by the time he's old enough to bug me.
the 14-year-old and I get along ok...usually. He's a year and a half younger and our parents have always treated us essentially as the same age, although now that I have my driver's license, I finally have an edge.
The 10-year-old is the most annoying...just today he was humming "Mary Had a Little Lamb" OVER and OVER and OVER in different voices. First normal, then squeaky, then low, then squeaky again, then banging it on the piano as loud as he could...I asked him to stop six times and he ignored me, and then I got in trouble for yelling at him. My dad said "Don't tell him to stop singing - if it bothers you put some music on headphones." I was too annoyed to explain that what I wanted was QUIET.
But yeah, we got on surprisingly well most of the time.
