duplicity

[wickedflea]

Don't you hate when you run into one of an identical set of twins who you haven't seen in years (and you never could tell apart all that well)? That always happens to me. Like I saw Michael or Jeff Kimbrell in Barnes & Noble in Birmingham one time, and he called me by name, but all I could do was say, "HEY, . . . man . . . how's it going, . . . man?" And I KNEW that he knew that I didn't know which one he was! I even gave him the opportunity to clue me in; midway through the conversation, I asked him, "So, how's . . . your brother?" Now he could have said, "Oh, Jeff [or Michael, or whatever]? He's fine." But NOOOOO, they never do that. Same thing happened with LeNora or LeDora Hogan when I was in the Starkville Wal-Mart around Christmas. I think they ENJOY it. Shifty bastards. I don't trust 'em. (Except perhaps for present company. Are any of you twins?)

Ooh, I hate that! There were these twin girls who lived on my floor in college, and I saw one of them at the museum last September, and I had no idea which one it was! It's not my fault, though. I mean, hell, they look exactly the same!!!

Which of us are you asking?

i have twin nephews that i can't tell apart...they're still babies so hopefully as they get older they'll have some sort of personality that will help with this problem of mine...EXCEPT that my idiot brother and his idiot chick decided to use alliteration when naming them (micah and makai) which would cause me problems even if they weren't twins...idiots...

LeNora and LeDora in a Starkville WalMart. That just reeks of hillbilly.

We're rednecks, not hillbillies. There's a difference. ;)

Hasn't living in the almost-north cured you yet??

Maybe you need more snow.
