family ties


this is picture of me and my brother

i've been a paid up member of his household for three years now

he is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the members of society who possess the genotype XY (knowing genotypes is invaluable when it comes to playing with punnet squares. but don't get all confused with strawberries; they come packaged in square punnets)

my brother knows what a massey ferguson is off the top of his head. that saved me and bajoolies a trip on the information superhighway

the other evening i was having a little scroll through the interweb dating and there was this guy who was quite particular and rigid about his lifestyle. he put it out there that he spent at least 30% of his time on the ps3 and another unspecified percentage of his time engaged in other types of role playing games. his expectation was that a potential mate would understand this, and not try to change him. he was also quite very clear about not wanting to engage with the world outdoors.

given that at least 30% and unspecified % doesn't include eating, sleeping or other miscellaneous activities related to living what many would call a well balanced life, bajoolies and i were somewhat curious as to how a girlfriend would fit into this equation

and my brother was all eye rolling and incredulous, because it's incredibly obvious:


"so she can bring him stuff while he's on the playstation"


duh
