"I should have stayed with dear brother at home"



Thank goodness for "People" magazine that would let us know that Denver Nuggets all star Chucky Atkins and TV funny man Dave Chapelle are brothers seperated at birth. How did we not see it sooner? I could have sworn this shot of Chucky in the nuggets jersey was Dave himself. Oh the fun these two boys might have had. Would Dave be able to throw down a sick dunk? Would Chucky be able to offend millions with racist jokes and make the use of crack seem acceptable? Together would they put stickers on their bike chain guards that spelled out their favorite Mortal Kombat characters? Would they walk together up the street to the Circle K and steal lemon heads from the old convenience store worker? Would they play "Kick the can" in their buddies back yard and get legitimately angry when others cheated? Would they stay in a tree house after school to do their homework so their mother couldn't tell them to clean their rooms? Would they leave sharp objects in the road and get yelled at by a neighbor, and have to lie about their names and residence? Would they get in hard core fist fights with the rich folk in the adjacent neighborhood? Would they spend late nights smoking the mary jane in an incomplete office building? Would their definition of "hot-boxing-it" include a meal from KFC? Would they invent new events for American Gladiators and test them out and end up getting seriously hurt? Would they get locked in the closet of their neighbors house and be worried that they would never get out and begin to cry? Would they put pictures of their friends up in the post office? Would they put on plays based on movies they just saw, but change the names of the characters and claim they wrote it even when people said: "this is exactly like Indiana Jones!" Would they trip and fall while gathering tad poles from the creek and get their pants very muddy and ripped and remove them and throw them deep in the woods and then walk home perfecting in their minds the story of how a bigger group of kids beat them up and took their pants? We may never know, but then, who cares?
