Do we actually know how old they are? I mean if they're like 13/14 it's probably ok, but any younger and maybe you should think about something else?

Doesn't it say they're 11 and 12? Wouldn't I be getting shit for posting the repulsive comments we've seen from "respectable" contributors to this thread?

Interesting though how they're believed to spread the beliefs of their parents. This is something you'd never hear about twins of that age who sing to end all poverty.
You cannot but admire their campaign against skin cancer.
Their father appears to be a reasonable chap as well. After all, he could easily put the iron to those poor calves. But he doesn't, does he? The iron is just a token.

How can twins be 11 and 12? I thought that was just someone's idea of the best age to start grooming kids to be future RickJs.

I saw an episode of CSI where parents had twins (two boys) but the cock of one of the twins got got cut off during a bodged circumcision. The cock couldn't be saved so they gave him lady-hormones and chocolate and raised him as a girl. The doctor who recommended this deception was just the wrong side of paedo and may or may not have done dodgy shit with both twins so, naturally, when the girlboy found out the truth about her gender, he/she murdered the doctor and a few others for good measure.
Perhaps these parents are attempting to raise one of their twins as a year older than her true age for a sinister reason, like the above.
Benway, in view of your story, can I just check, is it OK for me to post gibberish like this or should I stop and wait until I have something worthwhile to say?

But what if it's true? It could be, you know. If one of them was born on new year's eve and the other one a few minutes later on the other side of the new year? Or do you think all this is what Mengele and his team werereallyon about all those years?

you never did write a thing about sandwiches.
Part of the problem I face as a writer is that people often want to believe in fiction so much, that in their own minds it becomes fact. Many times I've had forumites IRL ask me about things that I've written on the boards, only to be shocked to discover that I made it up.
As an author of character fiction, it's my job to make these things seem believable, to draw you into the story. So, I want 'Benway' to be as real as possible in the imaginations of my readers. Likewise, when setting up situations that deliver a degree of emotional resonance, liberties can be taken by mixing up fact and fiction. So, characters representing actual people can interact with completely ficitonal characters, and find themselves in fictional situations.
The character 'Benway', as you probably know, has a penchance* for fiction, much like I do. Part of the fun of the character is trying to work out where his imagination might go, if he wasn't merely a figment of my own. Spelling mistakes, missing words, obsessions over this or that 'horror film', are all elements that I have to consider when writing Benway, and I have to be careful not to add any details that are perhaps more personal to me than they are to him. I consider it a compliment that readers continue to support and enjoy my work as much as I do, but I would urge them to remember that Benway really is just a part of my imagination, and he's here to entertain rather than inform.
Thanks,
T.F.

It could have beeen; you know, they liked a good party, that lot. Goose stepping the Auld Lang Syne, bringing in a lump of coal from the Crematorium and heartily slapping one another on the buttocks.

Surely their crematorium runs on gas?

But can a bee Be said to be Or not to be An entire bee?
When half the bee Is not a bee, Due to some Ancient injury?
I refute your logic, pettibone.
What logic would that be, H1ppychick? And is that 'poem' refuting it already, or is the refuting still to come?
I've head stories of the unusual conncetion between twins. Who hasn't. But your 'poem' seems to rob them of all possible individuality. A twin is more than just half of twins.

You have put a deeper interpretation on my 'poem' than intended. The logic I was refuting was your New Year's Eve/New Year's Day thing, which I think you knew was flawed but posted anyway in a mood of whimsy.
The 'twins' would be born in different years but would only be different 'ages' for the cross-over period and one would never be a year older than the other.
That's all I meant.
I meant to quote the philosophers' song but couldn't remember it so stuck with Eric the Half A Bee, which I could remember.
But thanks for thinking I'm more intelligent than I am. Usually it's the other way around.

Emmanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable Heidegger Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could drink you under the tabel David Hume, could out-consume, Schopenhauer and Hagel And Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlagel.

What if the article was written on new years eve? Just after celebrating the eldest girls birthday.
