I am writing this post and would first like to say that brother just literally said "Sometimes when I am in bed I think about David Hasslehoff"
This was, of course, in reference to how he posed himself on his bed while I was typing at his computer. He thought he was sitting to seductively to be near his sister.
Disturbing, worth sharing, but not what this blog is about!
Now that you have read about D'Wayne's creation, lets talk about how we officially welcomed him into the family.
SO the family decided we were not going to do Christmas presents big this year. I was kinda bummed as I am a selfish person. But Jesus said "NO! This is not possible, it is my birthday you must celebrate! I will give you a present... D'Wayne in the flesh."
Othersister started dating D'Wayne in the beginning of November, and she lives with him down south. She decided that he would come up and meet the family on Christmas. Are you getting this readers? Together a month and a half, traveling 18 hrs to meet family? GOLLY. Did we mention racist tendencies of the parentals? Sounds like an EXCELLENT idea. (thanks again Jesus!)
So in preparation of the visit of D'Wayne, since he and othersister would be staying at our house, brother started using his library skills to investigate this D'Wayne, rap superstar producer cat. And what he found was the greatest, most epic freestyle I have ever heard in my life. This freestyle was on youtube and had 90ish hits... so first things first, we made a pledge four days before he got here to double the amount of hits on this song that had been online for several years. We started by sending it to everyone we knew, and loading it on our individual computers as well as our work computers every day. We were gonna make this kid famous.
Then, on the day of their arrival, we were painfully short of our goal. I think we were only up to 104. Our friends... well lets just say so called friends... were NOT doing our bidding. Then, Jesus interupted again and was like "get it together!" So even though othersister and her beau were supposed to be home at like 6 they didn't come until like midnight- and in those 6 hrs we completed true greatness.
Step one: We live on a college campus and I happen to have access to keys for pretty much every room. So we broke into 4 different computer labs and played the freestyle video on every single computer. By the second lab, we were creating rounds of this freestyle. Here is an example:
After this fantasticness, we decided that was not enough... so we got a bunch of crayons and copy paper and decided to do a line by line, literal translation of the song- like a storyboard- and taped it up to the wall from the entrance to the bathroom (we figured that would be their first stop). By literal I mean LITERAL. one line was "only I can stop the beef" so I drew a picture of a crossing guard stopping a cow. One line was referring to smoking water and brother drew a picture of a guy trying to light an Evian bottle.
It was fantastic.
I seriously did not know that either of us were that artistically talented.
I will make othersister scan the pictures so I can show you all.
So they come in and we put on the music and make them watch frame by frame. It was most certainly the funniest reaction ever. Totally worth the 6 hrs of work that it entailed.
Thats how we welcome people to our family. Hope you didn't do anything embarrassing online future littlestbrother's wife.
