He is also an uber-lurker, just like me (Though my lurking status is in jeopardy now. 3 posts in one day? Whoda thunk it?). However, he is not an evil minion of Satan, and we get along very well. Nothing like cutting expenses in half! (House payment, bills, etc.) 😉 \*\* You know, I’ve always wondered if my brother would post here, one day. I’ve heard that twins typically are very similar in their likes and dislikes; it might be more of an urban legend then fact, but I think the same environment growing up might make a difference. Maybe he looks on in terror at my posts, thinking _eeee gads, the boy’s gone nuts._ . ---

I’ll be the one laughing, watching Angel… Well unless it’s a sad episode…Then I guess I won’t be laughing, I’ll be sad… BUT you get my point…right? 😃 ---

Ahhhh… Ya see, with _cable_ I get Angel on UPN. Unplug cable and use the _antenna_ and voilà, WB! I hate the cable company though, so I may lose Buffy when I dump them on their asses! ---

Alright you two…YOU all have forced my hand…I’m sorry that it had to come to this, but! I will now be **forced** to sneak onto the WB’s lot and _steal all of the copies of next week’s Angel, and you know what? Because I feel like being mean, I’m going to take the week after next week’s Buffy too!_ Then I’ll send you two small little video clips of both the shows; in such tiny increments that it will drive the both of you two insane with anticipation. I will then send you the two tapes and while you are sitting down, with a nice complement of beverage and food of your choice, you two will flip on the VCR. ONLY TO REALIZE THAT YOU WILL BE SPENDING THE NEXT HOUR LOOKING AT MY ASS!!!😃 😃 Of course, seeing that I just told you all this, the likelihood of either of you \*actually \* watching any tape I send you has gone down considerably… But I digress… …😃 ---

Actually, considering your openness to Lou Reed before, _I_ might very well be interested in a video of your ass. 😉 ---
