When I was little, my grandma used to always tell me, "If you sing at the table, you'll marry a crazy husband." Now, let it be noted that she would tell me this while I was singing, so I guess there was never really any hope for me. Plus, hello? have you met me? Was there every really a chance that I might marry someone normal?
So, Chris? He's a little bit looney. You might not guess it upon initially meeting him, but he's definitely got a whole bag crazy just waiting to be unloaded. Anybody who met his alter ego, "Uncle Raul," last summer knows what I'm talking about. And anybody who didn't have the pleasure of meeting Uncle Raul, I wouldn't even know where to begin explaining that one. And that's all I have to say about that.
Because we're both mostly nuts, we like to come up with off-the-wall theories and think of all the reasons that they seem to be true. One of my favorite theories (and I think I have to give Chris credit for this one) is the theory of different famous people that we believe are actually one in the same. I'm not going to tell you all of them, because I know you. You're going to go around telling people like it's your own damn theory, and that's just not right. But, I will tell you two of my favorites.
1. Rod Stewart and Barry Manilow. Two names, one bad haircut:

Now, come on. Tell me that's not the same man. And. AND. Have you ever seen them together? Think about it. Plus, I like the way they always remember to flip the negatives between Rod and Barry, so that it looks like his part goes a different way. That's an especially nice touch.

The Beach Boys and Slayer.

The Beach Boys and Slayer.
Now this, although it may come as a shock to you, is not based on the uncanny physical resemblance. This is based on the fact that Chris was learning to play the intro to some Slayer song (can you tell I'm a big fan?) on the guitar and realized that it sounded a lot like the music for California Girls. Plus, once again, have you ever seen them together? Have you? That's because they're the same damn band!
So, there you have it. Stay tuned for further insanities.

Ok, maybe Rod and Barry are the same, but the Beach Boys and Slayer???? I don't think so! But u did make me chuckle.
My husband must have sang a lot at the dinner table growing up because it is HE who got the crazy spouse. LOL
I'm glad you finally figured out why it is impossible for Slayer and the Beach Boys to be seen next to each other. These bands have scrupulously avoided even the appearance of their names in the same sentence. I want Stone Phillips to study this. Next time on Dateline: A Mono-Identity of Rock n' Roll: Could Surfers Be Slashers Too?
