Saturday was my dad's birthday, which means it was also my uncle Jimmy's birthday.

Usually no one gets together, the last few years the excuse was that my uncle moved to Georgia, and we're all in the Pacific Northwest. But back when he lived in Seattle, apparently it was still too far away.

Anywho, it was their 55th birthday, and the whole group of everyone and their kids got together at my Auntie Ellen's hippie commune in Olympia.

So, I took the opportunity to get some photos of them, just to prove to myself and others that they really are identical.

This, is a smile-

My dad is the balding one, my uncle is the one that decided to just shave it all off.

Personally, I think my uncle needs a better tan on that bald head of his, because right now he looks like a cancer patient, His facial hair is also awkward, the chin poof is nearly flesh toned and just makes him look like he's got a chaw in his mouth.

I say that, because he was picking on my dad for his "I always look this frazzled" hair style, which I think makes him look more human, and actually a lot younger.

Either way, if you scroll the page up so both of their heads are covered, they're still freakishly identical.


...Which is why I'm posting this picture.

You know when you're spacing out and not really focusing on anything and you get that sort of "I like turtles" retarded look on your face?

Even their "I like turtles" look is the same-


Frightening.


Also frightening were their birthday cakes-


110 candles lit in one room. They were so hot that it melted the musical element in those Singing candle things, and most candles were melting from the bottom down.

Also, if you notice there is a chocolate cake and a white cake. More specifically, an angel food cake and a devil's food cake.

When my dad and my uncle were little, their mom would make both cakes on their birthday. The Devils food cake for my uncle Jimmy, the Angel food cake for my dad, Johnny.

Even when they're not together, my mom or I make sure my dad has a slice of angel food cake on his birthday, apparently Jimmy's wife and kids do the same for him, only Devils food cake.

Cute huh. The Angel and the Devil. its probably true. Though I bet when they were little they were both little devils.
