From 2011 to 2012

So here we are closing out 2011 and entering 2012.

My plans for 2012 include much, much ... much more blogging action so stay tuned for that, if you care to.

But for now I'm just going to leave you with this thought (even though I try not to make new years resolutions myself), which I'm borrowing from the very funny Jim Gaffigan

"My new years resolution? I will be less laz"

Have a happy and prosperous beginning to 2012 all :)

Sham on ... shame on me

Forgive me followers, for I have sinned. It's been over 3 months since my last confession. But now my conscience is clear and my mind is full of thoughts, opinions and stories to share. So even if the only people who read this thing are me and my dear mother, I'm getting back on the blog horse! 
... Join me for a ride?

Transcript of the Twin Toddlers Talk

Watch this video

So these two guys were having an intense conversation over something apparently quite important. Awfully cute!

But wouldn’t you just love to know what they are saying to each other ... what the world was going on inside their little brains? Lucky for all of you I can understand ‘baby’ – although I can’t speak it very well – and can translate the rambling conversation for you right now. I have even included the video timeline so you can more easily associate the actions with the dialogue.  

0:02 Baby 1 (B1) Hey man, what’s going on?

0:05 Baby 2 (B2) Nothing bro I’m just fooling around doing some stretches before I have a brew.

0:07 Oh that reminds me, I was in the locker room at the gym the other day and you know Greg Pritchell that really fat white guys who thinks he’s gonna be a sumo wrestler or whatever?

0:14 B2 He he, yeah

0:16 B1 Yeah, well he was in there trying to show us all his moves like stomping his feet and waving his arms around and yelling ‘war cries’ like a retarded Caucasian Kung-Fu Panda.

0:20 B2 Ha ha ... wait wait was it like this *mimics actions*

0:23 B1 Yeah exactly! So anyway I tell him, “listen man that’s kinda racist you need to show some respect for those professional athletes and stop mocking them” … you know, just yanking his chain a little.

0:28 B2 he he yeah

0:29 B1 And HE goes “how dare you accuse me of mocking my Sumo, I would never disrespect my Japanese Sumo heritage”

0:33 B2 *hold up hand* wait what?? Pritchell said “MY sumo Japanese Sumo heritage?”

0:36 B1 Yeah, he thinks he actually IS a Sum from Japan or something so I’m like whoa, whoa, whoa whaaaaaaat the face?

0:40 B2 No, no no this is crazy talk!

0:43 B1 I know tell me about it man ... unbelievable hey!

0:47 B2 he he he

0:48 At this point they seem to pause for a moment and kind of let that crazy concept sink in – possibly thinking about all the fun they could have at this guy’s expense.

0:50 B1 So what do you think we should do, start calling him “Pritchellson”?

0:53 B2 Yeah and when we see him be like “Wax on” *waving arm*

0:55 B1 … *also waving arm* and “Wax off” and “catch that fly in your chop sticks Pritchellson”

0:58 B2 he he he

Then suddenly B2 just says …

1:01 B2 maybe we should just karate his arse! *does karate chop motion*

1:05 B2 … You down with that?

1:07 B1 Do you mean for real … *moves closer to B2* … like just jump him and beat him up to teach him a lesson?

1:14 B2 he he

1:15 B1 Your really serious about this?

1:17 B2 Ha no, no, no I was only playing, Prtichell’s alright

1:19 B1 Oh man, thank goodness! You had me going there for a moment. I was thinking, why the heck would we risk our University scholarships with that?

1:27 B2 No, no! I’d never risk my Cal Berkeley Rugby scholarship.

1:29 B1 Yeah man! Because we’re gonna be USA Rugby superstars *turns to the camera for some reason* we’re gonna be making plays and scoring trys …

1:32 B2 … “and breaking necks” *B2 says in the background as he makes a stomping motion*

1:34 *B1 turns back to B2* Well there you go getting all violent again bro. You gotta keep a lid on that. What’s the deal?   

1:38 B2 No, no I was just kidding again. Man you’re too easy to rile up

1:41 *B2 reaches out a hand in supportive reassurance*

1:42 *B1 extends a hand back* … I know, but you’re always provoking me. Why do you do that so much?

1:47 B2 Maybe I should just karate chop you (*more karate chopping motions*) for being such a pansy, he he.

1:50 B1 Well maybe I’ll just pick up the TV (*acting out his threat*) and drop it on your head!

1:53 B2 No way champ! I’ll climb up on the fridge and … and … *stops climbing* (to apparently taste the fridge handle)

1:57 B1 what the hell are you doing bro?! You know you’re scared of heights and probably just get dizzy half way up and fall and hurt yourself.

2:01 B2 No, no I got this

2:03 B1 You’ll be splattered all over the kitchen floor and make a big mess I’ll have to clean up and I’m not going to let that …

Unfortunately the video cuts off right there. But as you can see they were just taking their animated argument into a potentially even more expressive and funnier realm.

If only there were more videos and written tales of these ostentatious twin brothers available.

But wait what’s this? … A link! http://www.twinmamarama.com/
