Who's your top pick to be your brother?

If you could choose someone you recognized to be your own brother, who would you pick?

My personal answer: Henry Blyth

do you also claim to be a lunatic?  up in the world - about a window cleaner who has thousands of windows to clean - but is sidetracked by an heir who wants to go to town - and he has to protect him from thugs- but the heir gets hit in the head and can't remember the windowcleaners lifesaving manners?

now, what crazy real life story would that relate to today? 

i relate to the one story that tries to keep a dairy farmer in business.



i'd pick barry douglas.  well, maybe not my brother.  maybe a distant relative.  a kissing cousin or something.

all joking aside.  i really do respect the guy.  seriously, i should have said my real brother because he's always been what a real bro should be.  never really irritated me - and always there if i need a helping hand.  he's really good to his family and spends an inordinate amount of time with his children taking them places and doing things.  i'd say that he's pretty cool.

Shaquille O'Neal. I could call a black guy "Brotha" and it would be legit. A dream come true.

  The guy from the TV comedy Alie G, i think his name is Sasha ?. This guy also plays a role called Bora, man it's so funny, but it got him in trouble with the government.

Shaquille O'Neal.

And... he could beat up anybody for you. 

My brother.  Would be... a comedian, probably either Jon Stewart or Steve Carell.  Or some of my friends.  But if they were my brother, they might not be my friend.  Sigh... you must take it into consideration that you don't get along with your brother all the time.  So, I don't think I'd want anybody as my brother.  I'm fine the way it is.  I've gotten used to my brother and our wacky relationship.

Sacha Baron Cohen. A old aquantance of mine was or still is very good mates with him. They are both famous in their own RESPECTs. Funny thing is I think he looks a bit like you, probably because of his Persian(jewish, therefore he parodies anti semitism) ancestory.

Check dis, it a funny one!



It is not for everyone, and if you are sensitive do not watch it. trust me. Otherwise enjoy.

I have 4 brothers, its enough thanks.

My personal answer: Henry Blyth

Aw, I'm touched! I'd choose you too Tucker ;D

But if I could choose someone who realistically couldn't be my brother, it would have to be Ross Noble. Man I could spend days just being near him and suggesting topics for comedic discussion...good times they'll be, yes...

Thanks so much for everyone's wonderful inputs and funny comedies.

In addition, I wrote a theme music using Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata 3rd Movement for this topic and posted in the piano audition forum. After downloading the mp3, pay close attention to the middle section which begins approximately 3 minutes and 30 seconds after the initial starting. That's pretty much my thorough and complete answers which derived directly from my two words in the shortened answer.
