A Glorious Welcome To You!

We here at Two Thumbs Sideways are absolutely elated to be welcoming you into our humble, virtual abode. Although as will probably become evident very shortly, while the abode is humble and virtual, the occupants are not particularly humble. We are somewhat virtual, though, which will also be evinced shortly.

This here web log (or “blog” for you hipsters out there) will feature anything and everything, so don’t get mad at us if we review the mating habits of duck-billed platypuses at some time in the near future. We said “anything and everything” (seriously, you can look it up!). But, in all actuality, most posts will probably be about movies and books and rollercoasters.

There isn’t much else.

Now, as the “blog” (wink wink) description gravely states, we are two above-average intellects. But what else are we? Unfortunately, we cannot reveal this yet. While we cannot go further than to say that possible college/job/grad school/government position/election/alien abduction applications are looming in the near future, we can tell you that the anonymity will no longer be required after April 1st, 2010, the day when, coincidentally, college admissions decisions are due (we stress, coincidentally).

So then, you might ask, who are those dashing young men in the “blog” profile picture? Well, to be entirely honest, we are ugly. We did not desire to alienate our soon-to-be large fanbase (or overly thorough admissions committees) by repulsing them with our repugnant visages. So, we hired some of the best models we could find to pretend to be us. Seriously. Look at those guys. They ooze good-looks. Find us a woman who can walk by one of them without dropping her jaw and you’ll have found us a guy dressed up as a woman. You could write “sexy” on their foreheads and it would be redundant. Here at Two Thumbs Sideways, we are constantly amazed by how lucky we were to have found models that might be mistaken for Greek gods. In fact, we have it from reliable sources that they have been mistaken for Achilles and Apollo on occasion.

But enough about them (although, whether one could ever say enough about their startlingly thick hair and strong, broad shoulders is an open question). Soon enough, this “blog” will be inundated with witty, know-it-all, informative stuff. If you were to imagine an Ayn Rand novel, and then imagine the exact opposite of that—you’d get this blog.
