| The Utter Randomness of My Bro |

| LEFT: Ted-as Solid Snake-rears back to throw his trusty hand grenade in an attempt to blow up our living room (far right). PROPS: Tina's plaid winter scarf ($11.50), knitted black cap ($6.99), gray rayon vest by Ralph Lauren ($28.00), and cheap plastic cup (5 cents). |
| RIGHT: Solid Snake flattens himself against the wall, his face a mask of cold, unleashed fury as he awaits imminent danger. Ten seconds after this picture was taken, Solid Snake assaulted our mother and stole her tray of fresh-baked chocolate-chip cookies as she came down the stairs. PROPS: Tina's winter scarf, gray rayon vest by Ralph Lauren, and Toy machine gun by Nerf ($19.99). |
| LEFT: Solid Snake crawls over the rough terrain of our basement floor in his brave efforts to dodge snipers and erratic gunfire. PROPS: Same as the second picture (I'm getting lazy). |
| This is a result of what happened when my brother surpassed his capacity for Coke (yes, the beverage) and current obsession Metal Gear Solid, thus becoming fright- eningly hyper. Ted decided to dress up as Solid Snake (the main character of the popular Playstation game) and begged me to take pictures of him doing typical 'spy action.' This is what we came up with. Please Note: These pictures were taken 2 years ago, when my brother was merely a sophomore in high school. He has matured somewhat since the following incident (I think). |
