Most of you don't know me, and if you saw a picture of me, you probably wouldn't know me any better. Here's how I stack up with "my kind":

No, I'm not shiftless. No, I'm not lazy (though I do love my leisure time). No, I don't speak Ebonics. No, I didn't vote for our President in the primary. I think Cadillacs are just all right (I've never owned one, though I've ridden in a few). No, I'm not a crack user. No, I'm not a drug dealer. No, I don't blast my rap music. No, I'm not a big gangsta rap fan. No, I don't have tinted windows on my "ride". Yes, I knew my father very well (before he passed away). I'm a lousy dancer and the thought of chitlins makes me ill. On the other hand, I do enjoy fried chicken and watermelon, and found our President the best choice in the general election.

Now that you know me a little better, I ask that you not confuse me with my evil twin, who has a similar screen name, but is certainly a better dancer.

Sorry, but you guys (the Honolulu Blues clan) all look the same to me.

I think this is what he is referring to...

Although I have no idea what the title of the thread means.

As for how we compare:

No, I'm not shiftless. Check.

No, I'm not lazy (though I do love my leisure time). Definitely.

No, I don't speak Ebonics. Check.

No, I didn't vote for our President in the primary. Neither did I, but that was because Michigan didn't have Presidential Democratice Primary because they were being punished for moving the date of their Primary or something. I would have though.

I think Cadillacs are just all right (I've never owned one, though I've ridden in a few). Sure.

No, I'm not a crack user. Check.

No, I'm not a drug dealer. Check.

No, I don't blast my rap music. Check.

No, I'm not a big gangsta rap fan. Check.

No, I don't have tinted windows on my "ride". Check.

Yes, I knew my father very well (before he passed away). Check (he's still alive though).

I'm a lousy dancer (what I lack in skill I make up for in enthusiasms) and the thought of chitlins makes me ill (check).

On the other hand, I do enjoy fried chicken and watermelon (check), and found our President the best choice in the general election (check).

It's nice to know a little bit more about my good, yet horrible dancing twin.

Have you both always been in Michigan? Also I would have bet that you guys were distinguished by the lack of a space, not by an additional one.

I thought it was that one has a space, the other has an underscore.

I love hockey. He doesn't love hockey. Stop causing problems.

I was in DC, then Brussels, then DC and then Michigan. I believe my good twin has always kept the home fires burning back here.

As for distinguishing between us, it should be quite clear based on what we say in our posts and the topics we post on, though I understand that's hard. Hell, I have trouble keeping Ksyrup and Kodos apart and that's just because they both start with "K" and sometimes I even start reading one of my good twin's old posts and think "I said that?" until I double check.

The best bet for telling us apart are the distinguishing titles. If not, it's just going to be MASK confusion. Like these guys (with their masks on):

So are you guys saying we can't call you losers because that's stereotyping you as Lions' fans?

Thanks, evil twin, for getting it. I knew there was some reason I liked you (other than your malevolence).

I have no idea what the title of the thread means.

I thought it was quite clever, myself. Hint: Boston.

Set up the bed first, that way you can get a good night's sleep no matter how much unpacking you have to do.

Yeah, this is a pretty good one.

Also, unpacking goes a lot quicker than packing. At least getting it into the house or garage. However, after it's off the truck, things move a lot slower ;)
