Who's Your Straight Dope Twin?

Well my birthday is a week before yours… which puts me born 32 years and a week before you. December 17, 1957.

Well, it was my fourteenth birthday … if I remember right, I got a cool leather jacket–with fringe. That’s right. :wink:

Well, that’s just fine. You get to do Penny and Katie, and Tom wants to do you.

Who does that leave for me?
Maybe I’ll go all bloody this year and celebrate the Bastille 2 days post end of youth as I know it…

Where’s that pity smiley?

No July 12thers at all, eh?

How about 1962’ers?
Hello?

It seems 1966 was a very fine year. :smiley:

I got you by four days - 8/6/72.

Leos unite!

Me too, though I got here 7 years before Scarlett. Are you my twin, lieu?

Not the same year, but I was born August 30, 1973.

Well, I’ll be. I’ve never met anyone else who’s had my birthday, and here’s three: Zebra, FatBaldGuy, and Yeticus Rex’s brother. We’re not twins, but we are special.

Woah. Almost. 5/31/59.

August 8, 1963 here. :slight_smile:

November 21, 1971 here.

I also share my birthday with Voltaire. :smiley: 11/21/1694.

I always thought people in their thirties were - you know - old. :rolleyes:

Mr. Silver1 is pushing forty. :eek: He’s really old. :smiley:

Oh Yeah! 8/7/67 here. And for the 8/10 people, two of my friends growing up were 8/10/67.

My sister was born 3/1/1977.

She and I sometimes call ourselves twins because our birthdays are only two days apart. I’m March 3, 1970. So far the closest to me is Portia, with 3/27/1970.

Oooo, so close. My husband, Spiny Norman, is August 10, 1966 (so he shares the day and month with C3 and GillianBoardman, but not the year).

I’m May 25, 1961. Until my late 20s, one of my best friends was a girl who was born 25 minutes after I was, in the same hospital. My mother had gone down the hall asking what other women had babies the same day she did, met her mom and struck up a friendship, so we grew up together after having started life in the same nursery. It was kindof cool. The very different paths our lives have taken us is proof positive that astrology is hogwarsh (as my mother would’ve pronounced it) – not that I actually needed proof, but you know what I mean.

IT, we can’t call twins but I’m pleased to have you as an older sibling.

Can I borrow $5, sib? If you don’t gimme, I’m telling Mom…

Nice to see now that not only have the August kids arrived in force, but we could pull off a straight:

Aug 6 - NothingMan
Aug 7 - adam yax
Aug 8 - Sunspace
Aug 9 - sunfish
Aug 10 - C3, GillianBoardman, Ice Wolf, Spiny Norman

Woo hoo! :smiley:

Ooohhh! I always wanted a baby sister.

And you already owe me three bucks from the time in the record store when you wanted the New Mickey Mouse Club album and didn’t have enough money for it. Not to mention that I’m sure Mom would like to know who used the sewing scissors to cut out paperdolls, not that I’m mentioning any names, Portia! You know that if you cry I’ll give in and get my wallet, don’t you?

Hey – I just thought of something – you and Spiny could possibly be twins afterall, depending on what time zone and what time of day you were born. See, he was born in Denmark, where it was August 10, 1966 for 6 hours while it was still August 9th, 1966 EST!

April 15, 1980 checking in.

Anyone else whose parents got it on on Labour Day, 1979? Anyone?

So close, yet so far! I was born at 5:30 PM, so he and I are not twins after all. He’s got three other Doper siblings here, though, so he’s got plenty of company. :cool:
