Help me out.

My friends are the richest source of information on the planet. Can anybody give me a good example of dissimilar siblings? I've already used the globe-trotting do-gooder, Jimmy Carter, and his beer-swilling Bubba brother, Billy. I need at least one more example. It can be in real life or in popular culture, including literature, movies, TV, music or whatever medium. My hamster doesn't seem to be doing an adequate retrieval subroutine in the old Habitrail today.

Ah, yes! Thanks for the great archetypal atypical siblings. The Bible is a great source of dysfunctional family examples. That also brings up Ishmael and Isaac.

What on earth are you working on?

A book on Pagan ethics. You'll love it...if you ever have time to read anything for pleasure again for the next few years.

Something like this?

Be sure to look at the pictures, confirmed on a anti-hoax site.

I'm thinking of ones a little closer to what you're looking for. When they come to mind I'll post them. There's one just on the edge of my thoughts.

Ha ha ha! That's really weird, but not exactly what I seek. I could use a less black and white example.

*giggles* Goofus and Gallant, for all of us who loved Highlights magazine as kids...

Holy shit! I haven't thought about that for YEARS. Great example. Thanks.

Have you gotten any other offers of a ride to Sallie's for the ritual? I'm going to try to stick it out for the whole thing this year. Last year, I flaked out because of body aches. Four ibuprofin or two Aleve should ensure I'm good to stay.

I was such a Gallant kid it wasn't even funny - the biggest nerd ever. :P

No other offers, no, though I'm thinking of asking one of my friends for a ride there, and maybe just getting a ride back with you if that's okay. I've only been to Day of the Dead once, and actually haven't been back to ceremony since I've returned to NOLA.

The best body ache medicine I ever had, I can't find it anymore. It was called Actron, and was over-the-counter ketoprofen. That stuff was amazing; it always helped after jogs or times of muscle stress, strain, etc. I guess it's gone prescription now, since I type it in reports but can't find it in stores anymore.

I'm now taking celebrex for my aches. Good stuff. Not only am I nearly pain free my range of motion is much improved. The only distressing part is I now throw a baseball like a girl.

Bart and Lisa Simpson?
Sirius and Regulus Black (prior to the last book)

Mary Tudor and Elizabeth I.

Now I want to rewatch the first Cate Blanchett movie about Elizabeth I and see the second one as well.

Me and my sister. We look completely different. We are completely different, and we have the same parents. My sister takes after my mother, with her slight build, but is taller, and I take after my dad's side of the family which is sturdily built, but I got my mom's short stature.

[nolawitch.livejournal.com]

Same here, but I need a well-known example. My sister and I couldn't have been more unalike if we'd been raised by two separate space alien races.

Jeannie and her "evil" twin sister, Jeannie.

Is that like Daryl, and his other brother Daryl?
