Yeah, they don't share any buttocks, though; they're just joined at the liver.  |

I did think of that, but - do they? Cooks don't really share preparing the same buns!  You could have "Cooks' buns in row" or something!  |

Well, if you're gonna be pedantic ... they share them from the same pack. The twins also appear to be connected at buns-level, though it's the organ that joins 'em. The premise of the film is dubious in any case since conjoined twins would share DNA and be identical, which these guys ain't 
Are you angling to get my review eliminated on some technicality? Your suggestion of "Cooks' buns in row" I'm guessing would be declined as "too generic" -- not that I'd ever use it

| No, I wouldn't ask for it to be deleted, but I would always want reviews to be accurate; the join is definitely above their waists. The premise of the film is indeed quite stupid. (The non-identicality can be interpreted as being tongue in cheek, but the idea that they couldn't be separated because one of them has more of the liver is ridiculous - it is not a complex organ and could still be split equally.) However, I don't think that makes a difference with regard to accuracy of reviews. But yes, you're right that they would share buns out of a pack, so it would count in a non-pun sense. |

Thanks mt fwiffer friend!!

Five newly approved - here
In "Brimstone and Treacle" an evil, possibly Satanic, house guest attempts to rape a catatonic girl.
"Elephant in the room" is a metaphor for something important or obvious that is missed or ignored.
"Etre et Avoir" documents a year in the life of a rural French primary school, and the retirement of its one teacher. |

Hey Sludgie, how did you establish that 2006 votes stat? I'm a moron on the usage of the stat function.
Actually as Foxboy mentioned, Benj did this - I meant the overall site stats not my individual.
I wonder if there's a way to double-sort?
Anyway, original here, tie-breaker thread here. |
