I long ago concluded that it is safe to generalize all teens as idiots to one degree or another, and try not to hold it against them. However I do wonder what the hell was wrong with me back then.
The specific instance took place at a block party back in my parent's neighborhood. Got to see a lot of people I grew up with, around, or at least near. The two that threw me off guard however where the twins that lived literally across the street from me growing up. Now granted it has been just shy of a decade since I last saw them, but I sure as hell don't recall them being so damn hot. You'd think I would have paid more attention to two tall, blonde, athletic twins living within spitting distance of me during my mid to late teens. I can't imagine what was occupying my thoughts during those years so thoroughly as to over look those two.
Now granted, long term it was for the best. The conditions that lead me to my wife where unlikely as can be, the chain of events leading to us meeting could have gone off in an entirely different direction at a dozen different points for reasons of minimal importance, and I do love my wife with all that I am. So I can't actually say I wish I had been smarter in regards to those two, but all the same, what the hell younger me?
Yeah, that's pretty stupid even for a teenager.
I know, right? Seriously looking back over some of the choices I made back then, I really can't fathom how that me and the current me could actually be the same person. Either there was something in the water, or I was under some kind of alien mind control.
Maybe it's just because you grew up right beside them, and became gradually hot teenager blonds without you having ever the chance of having the reality hitting you in the face?
You know, the whole "she's all grown-up now" just never happened, and you were already filtering them out of your radar screen without checking if such filter was still warranted.
Although I don't think I would be comfy dating twins. There was this duo of small but busty vietnamese twins I knew in university, I always got the feeling of wondering what I was missing with the other. I think it's the natural jerk-optimiser in me that was thinking.

As delightful a sight twins may be, I find it very difficult to keep them apart, and not to try finding the differences in so-called deficiencies. their seemingly identical appearance is no guarantee for a similar personality. Beautiful, but difficult to treat with dignity.
Then there's the risk of mistaking one for the other. Usually you'll find you're wrong by feeling a huge imprint of a hand on your face or some other sort of injury.

Bingo - as you said, you were a teenager.
Now, these two blonde, athletic twins - were they girls?

Latest in my life, my boss got fired last week.
The governor sent his 'thug' after him (my boss's word)

Does this mean upward mobility for you?

If so, can you please provide some sort of stalky, photographic proof?

Not my direct boss, I meant the commissioner of the department.

What assassinations?
I'm sure it was pure chance that that banana skin happened to land a the top of the stairs when it did.

How does one cut a brake line with a banana skin?

Cut a brake line? You Yanks really need to develop some subtlety - excessively worn brake pads are hardly unusual, even right back to the metal.

Why? Subtlety fails to send the correct message.

They are around here. In the United States, we have a quirky tendency to perform maintenance on our cars.

You might very well say that Mikey. I couldn't possibly comment.

As do we, but those pads do tend to wear down.
