    I remember this from... I think the Potter's Place yahoo group. Or somewhere like that. Definitely funny and cracked me up. But it is just sort of one hilarious idea, with the meat of only a drabble. Not so much a story you can judge, discuss, or really expound on. I could see it adding a hilarious touch to a different story, but agreed in that there's not enough here to really compare to other fics or even claim there's a plot.

    Call it a drabble and it gets at least a 4/5. Maybe 5.

    -look's at the threads rating-

    Added to the C2.

    Edit:

    If you cut out every last mention of the Twins(And "Old Man") it'd be vastly better. As is, the letter is just flippin' filled with cliche's that I'm almost 100% sure are listed in the Cliche rant thread:

    That one's kind of needed, you need him to be free of the trackers, but why not just simply not have them at all? Chalk it up to his paranoia or some such.
    Letter: Ugh.
    Actual body of the story below: Pretty funny.

    That was not funny at all. I only smiled a little, and that was only at the "Bitch, make me some pancakes," other than one line, not at all.

    2/5.

    I've recced this vignette several times. IMHO, it's one of the oft-ignored funny one-shots. :) It's my favorite short, and a classic! 5/5

    I was amused. It's just a a fun skit that could have been put into any story with the twins.
