The Pikey Bunch
Being new to the Blog I decided to go back and read some old posts last night. I noticed in a couple blogs the word family was used; which got me thinking, if we were a TV family who would we be? I settled on "The Brady Bunch". Below is reasoning behind everyone's characters...enjoy! 
Mike Brady – Poppe: This was an easy call; I mean who hasn’t gone to Poppe for some fatherly advice. I have learned a lot from Poppe over the years like; breathe when you sleep, don’t sleep while driving, and don’t date girls that are crazy.
Carol Brady – Chad: Sorry Chad! A common scene around the Pike house is 2 brothers about to start swinging at each other, and whenever that happened Chad was there. Whenever the kids in “The Brady Bunch” fought Carol was always there to stop it and calm everyone down, just like Chad. Plus Chad has always helped Clay get over his jealousy of Pat (more on that later).
Marcia – Pat: Another easy choice; Pat has Marcia written all over him because they are both extremely materialistic and superficial. Pat always has to have the best hair (after a night of drinking it always looks astounding in the morning), best clothes (that he grabs off the floor and douses in wrinkle release), and the newest gadgets (first person in the house to have a Wii).
Jan – Clay: Jan was always jealous of her older sister, just like Clay is jealous of Pat’s great looks and amazing athletic skills*. We all know that Clay goes to Chad whenever he is upset about Pat, just like Jan did with her Mom, and on several occasions I have heard Clay say, “Patrick, Patrick, Patrick”.
Cindy – Borchardt: I know Jeremy isn’t on the blog, but I needed someone for Cindy, and Jeremy was just too good of an option. Lets see Cindy was extremely dumb (she was 12 and she still couldn’t spell), and she idolized Marcia. We all know that Jeremy is dumb and he idolizes Pat. I am pretty sure Jeremy was in my room last semester more then I was. Cindy’s favorite animal is a hamster, and Jeremy just so happens to be a hamster (added bonus).
Greg – Lonnie: Greg** was the musical kid in the family, and that is perfect for Lonnie. In many episodes Greg could be found playing his guitar with his shirt unbuttoned and his chest hair hanging out. I can honestly say that I would not be surprised to see Lonnie outside of HotBox; guitar in hand jamming out for everyone.
Peter – Beno: Peter was portrayed as the mischievous one of the family, and is known for frequently getting himself into trouble by breaking rules or hatching schemes. He is also often the joker of the family, playing pranks on his siblings. I dunno, I guess that sounds like me, but Peter was the only one left.
Bobby – Bisanz: Bobby was the "safety monitor" at his school and occasionally gets the other siblings into trouble. Dan was definitely the “safety monitor” of the Pike house during his time, and he even got me into trouble when he told Lonnie I pissed out my window on to Lonnie’s car.
Alice – Sojo: Alice is best known for telling jokes that got the response, “Oh Alice”. Sojo doesn’t exactly tell jokes, but after many of his dumb comments he gets the, “Oh Sojo” response.
Cousin Oliver – Klein: Cousin Oliver was brought in during the last season to add a younger child to the mix. Oliver is known as the character that killed “The Brady Bunch”. He is disliked by the other children and typically ignored. Klein is definitely disliked by the rest of us, and he almost killed the Pike house once he moved in.

* Pat can catch a football one handed without spilling his beer.
** It was later determined that Greg loved cocktails (only if using Sky vodka though), and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I like this post. I came out of it looking pretty good. The only problem I would have with the post is that you make people being materialistic and superficial sound bad.
1. Last Brady Bunch reference please.
2. Please make your own blog if you're just going to HJ pat the whole time.
1. That was funny.
2. That was my fist (and only) Brady Bunch reference.
3. I am done giving pat HJ's.
Deal.
Also I can't count the times that I've walked into Pat's room while he was brushing his Mii's hair.
I'm glad that we can finally move on to giving me BJs.
This isn't our second date.
Tom, this is your bro. Did you write this, because it sounds way too clever to be you.
Much love,
Dan
