Unfortunately, my twin brother and MMA champion Georges St.Pierre missed every rooster he shot at on this afternoon, so he didn't make this photo.
This weekend, a checkout clerk at Ace Hardware scanned my credit card then closely examined my driver's license over the purchase of a $9 bottle of anti-fungus spray for my zucchini plants. I was perplexed at the apparent lack of trust.
"St.Pierre, that's a cool last name," he said as he looked me up and down. "You aren't related to the ultimate fighter are you?"
"Yeah, he's my twin brother," I replied with a telling grin.
Georges St.Pierre, the Mixed Martial Arts Welterweight Champion of UFC, is actually not my twin brother. I can't blame the guy for the confusion. "St.Pierre" isn't exactly a common last name and given my bulging pecs and rippled abs, it's pretty easy to see where the young lad got confused.
Speaking of actual commonalities, in addition to his last name, Georges' nickname also happens to be the abbreviation for my favorite bird dog breed, the German shorthaired pointer. No, GSP and I aren't twin brothers, but "Georges" just made the list for possible names of my next bird dog.
