Friendly Friday twins

To celebrate life and Snow’s twins, here is a joke, an R.E.M. cover and a collection of pairs who could or could not be twins.

Snow Melts Somewhere has her twins on her mind who will turn two this month so she names twins as the theme of her and Amanda’s Friendly Friday photo challenge. Try to imagine having two of each.

First a joke:

- Ahh, look at you. How cute you are! Mom has dressed you alike, 
are you twins?
- Shut it, granny. Licence and registration! 

Next, there is only one pair of twins in my broad family, as far as I know. They are cousins of my father. At my grandma’s funeral years ago one of them smiled broadly and told me proudly: “My son is the drummer in the group Elvis Jackson!”

I didn’t know it at the time but so he is. 🙂 Soki has made a name for himself not only for his wicked drumming skills – he recently started his drumming school – but also for his goal of providing musical instruments to Slovenian primary schools so that pupils can learn to play them. At least 111 schools already got an instrument thanks to him. Pretty impressive.

Here he is with Elvis Jackson and their wicked wicked cover of R.E.M.’s Losing My Religion, live. This is one of my favourite covers of all times.

And now certain pairs (and groups) of mostly living beings but also pieces of architecture that may or may not be twins, but never mind, as long as they look cute together. Some images have been chosen especially for Snow and her rock stars. Maybe she will show this to them one day.

• 

  Here there are so many rabbits. (Hares? Bunnies?) Or is it always the same ones?

• 

  They like to complain.

• 

  This is a photo that came randomly on my screen the day when Snow posted penguins for her first Friendly Friday challenge.

• 

  This is us: blogging twins who can play together but never get together (yet). 🙂

• 

  Bruno and Sergio guard this tool shop in Rome.

• 

  These two guard a nearby farm, successfully. (There is also the third.) Bestia always turns around when he spots them. They are Maremma sheepdogs, the same as one quarter of bestia.

• 

  Maybe these two are actually twins.

• 

  Twins having kids?

• 

  How many twins can a cow have? Maremma cattle.

• 

  Three pairs of window twins in Porto Santo Stefano.

• 

  Rome’s twins. No, not the famous ones. (Ahh, I could use a photo of them!)

• 

  A favourite window twins in Rome’s Monteverde. Mom dresses them differently to tell them apart.

• 

  Pine twins.

• 

  Fruit tree twins by the flamingo lagoon in Orbetello.

• 

  Must be one more poppy selfie. They are twins!

• 

  Town Hall in Trieste. These two are called Mihec and Jakec (in Italian Micheze e Iacheze), very Slovenian sounding.

• 

  Also in Trieste: the monument called The Girls of Trieste, two seamstresses sowing. Probably not twins but as if. Father is impressed.

• 

  Well… mother dressed them the same. 😀 Supervising the Orbetello carnival in February.

• 

  The closest I will come to a twin. Sometimes we know. In Giardino dei Tarocchi with sister.

• 

  Fifteen minutes after the first photo in another spot: the same ones or a different set of twins?
