Sibling Rivals
Posted by LC Aggie Sith on Friday, February 1, 2013 in Open Thread
This Superbowl marks a very special occasion: brother versus brother. Not on the playing field, but on the sidelines.
And as usual, bets are flying all over the place. One bet is on how long the brothers will hug. The favorable time?
SEVEN SECONDS!!!
Now, I don’t about y’all, but that is a freakishly long time to hug someone. It borders on admirer-to-stalker level. Hell, I love my kids but I don’t hug them that long. Three seconds and they complain. Sheesh…
So, how long do y’all think is a reasonable amount of time to hug, especially male siblings?
Hubby calls bullshit on that bet

I don’t think they’ll hug. Shake hands maybe, but not hug.
As far as the seven second hug, are those making that bet mostly gay?
I do know they’ll both whine the whole game.
They’re the whiniest people in pro sports, and that’s saying something.
Watch an NFL Replay of a game with either of those, they spend the whole game whining on the sidelines.
I just want to smack them.
I probably won’t even be watching this year, I’m rooting for the terrorists on this one.
Male sibs hugging? Not unless a close
relative dies during the game.
As of today the National Football League might as well be the national fruit league. I’ll watch Downton Abbey anyway.
Completely OT, but former NYC mayor Ed Koch died… Is this news? (It was to me.)
Let’s see. . . how long to hug my male sibling? Until he passes out so I can make off with the 1985 Winchester I sent back with him one time for his daughter to use getting her first deer.
*sigh* 1895 Winchester. *damned fingers*
hug? as in….hugging? with arms?
what’s next? air kissing?
Hugging? Another guy?! Not in this lifetime.
If a handshake doesn’t get the job done, a hug will only make matters worse.
@ David-- Is it a classic rifle or one of the newer production 95′s?
I recently acquired a Winchester Low Wall in .32-20, made in 1920. John Browning’s first rifle design. It has to be handled to be fully appreciated.

Only trouble is, when you’re out of 32-20, you’re out of 32-20.
And remember: Hank Stramm and the ’70 Chiefs are watching you.
.32-20 wouldn’t be my first choice for an all-around cartridge. Maybe .32 Win Special or .30-30.
I wouldn’t mind having one of these chambered in .357 or even .327 Federal Mag.
The rifle is a work of art.
Here is a link to some info on this rifle, if anyone here is interested:

(Not exactly sure how all this applies to hugs.)
