Brian and Michael in Florida

My twin bro, Michael, came to visit me in Florida in June 2006.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael and I didn't make any movies when we were together in Florida...but I did happen take a ton of pictures! So I hope you enjoy them as well as this fake movie poster.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I just happened to drive by the airport and whad-da-ya-know my twin bro was there!





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael thought if he stood still he would blend in with the environment and I wouldn't see him, but as you can see he is fairly bright compared to the darkness.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Eventually he stood still long enough to blend in and I had trouble searching for him.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
About six hours later I spotted him and told him to get in the car because I might get towed.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael had a hard time adjusting to the new environment of the inside of an automobile.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael is almost fully adjusted to this new environment as his body turns into the same color of the car.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
There's a few ways to tell both of us a part and one of the ways is that Michael has a cyborg eye.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael is also known as Mr. Popular and apparently I can't see him again.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael thinks, "I've seen bigger Universal Studios globes in my day."





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Then I got back at him and said, "YO MAMA is a globe!"





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael looked away from the City Walk sign because it was a little too bright.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
So we fixed that immidiately.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here's Michael right before he passed out on the fancy blow up mattress in my bedroom.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We just woke up or something.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael looking at pictures or something.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael found a picture he likes or something.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We took the long journey over to where I work.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
My neck looks gross.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael can't handle my gross neck anymore.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
A few hours later we got to St. Augustine and checked out the beach scene.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
My neck still looks gross.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael had a few relatives that stopped by to say hello.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael looks a little awkard in this picture. I don't know if it's the angle of the camera, but it's most likey the fact that Michael is just as gross as my neck.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Yeah, it's not the camera...it's definitely Michael looking gross like my neck.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael always checks for urine before fully entering into a large area of water.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
A few more of Michael's relatives stopped by to see how a good beach urine search is done.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
About 48 minutes later Michael detected something warm.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It's hard to find a urine-free environment.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael never did find the person who took a pee in the ocean.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael fantasizes how life must be as a sailor.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Some lady came up to us and wanted to take a picture of us. After that she asked if we had a smoke since we look like the smoking type.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I don't look like I really want to be on the beach and Michael needs to get back into the Matrix.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Micheal starts to mope about not being able to find the Matrix.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
"Let's go...we're no where near the Matrix."





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It's hard to know where you park on the beach when everything looks the same.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
After getting through eight sand dunes, two sand storms and seven hurricanes we finally found the car and Michael needed to power down.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Still chargin' up.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Charging complete. Begin Daytona Beach excursion.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here we are chillin' at Daytona...LOOK OUT LADIES!





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here is the best shadow shot I have ever taken in my entire life.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
They had a very accurate display of Michael up on the wall at this resturaunt.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael wants to delete the picture but I don't know what the big deal was...it's just an accurate display of himself.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Checking out the scene.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Good job Michael! You found the beach!





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I asked someone to take this picture and then afterwards I asked for a smoke.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Another fine accurate display of Michael Hogan.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael attacked me and tried to spray some ink.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
When Michael gets mad his head sorta looks like a big fist.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Twins in the car.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We went to Kissimmee later that afternoon because they have a Giordano's, which is our favorite place to get some good Chicago style pizza.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
After dinner we went over to Walt Disney World since it was pretty close and it happens to be the happiest place on Earth.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I was in the perfect condition for the happiest place on Earth.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael may have lived in several areas of Chicago and New York City, but there is no way to be prepared for the West Side of Downtown Disney.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We are now in the West Side and there is no turning back.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael doesn't know what to think about this place.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
But he better watch out for the House of Blues building because it's about to fall over.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The House of Blues toppled over but luckily no one was hurt except some dude in a Mickey costume.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It appears there was a display of Michael's latest and greatest album.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael is just your normal smilin' kinda guy.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Until he busts out the cyborg eye!





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We're walking by another fine display of my brother.....





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
...but then Michael realized what I was trying to take a picture of.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
He tried to get away but you can still see the resemblance.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here's another view.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This pirate skull came up to me and said, "QUIT YE FLASH PHOTOGRAPHIN'!!! ARRR...YE BEEN WARNED!!!! True story.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I told Michael about my true story and he totally believed me.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
"Does this sorcerer hat makes me look fat?"





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This is Michael thinking "oh crap, Brian's going to take another picture of me when I'm right in front of another accurate display featuring mysself!" Michael tried to duck down but he wasn't fast enough and I got this awesome reaction. Afterwards he punched me in the back, which I don't think is allowed in the happiest place on Earth.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Me and Buzz get a picture together.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
After the picture Buzz was trying to get a little intimate and I had to explain to him I don't swing that way.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
He wasn't taking "no" for an answer so I had to scram.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Buzz had his love sight set on Michael, but he also managed to get away just in time.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael checks out the SNL Trivial Pursuit board games and is looking extra cool.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This is basically Donald Duck's impression of Michael on vaction.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael was furious when he saw a Disney Christmas store and there was NOTHING for the Jews, Buddists and Shintoists.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
DISNEY TWINS!!!





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Heh, heh.....Pooh Corner.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Hey look, it's that accurate display of Michael Hogan again.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael was a little too late on that one.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
So it's the next morning and now we're at Universal Studios ready to ride the movies or something.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
"OUTTA MY WAY I GOTTA RIDE THE MOVIES!"





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Once Michael decides to put his arm down and continues to walk under the bridge our adventure will offically begin.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The day has offically begun at Islands of Adventure.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It hasn't even been a few minutes yet and I've already made some comment to make Michael mad.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael tries to hold in his anger for the picture.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here is the first accurate display we saw off in the distance of Michael.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The first ride is The Hulk.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
After rattling our heads on The Hulk roller coaster we bumped into Michael's ex-boyfriend Captain America. It was a little awkward.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael doesn't like to remember those days.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here's a pretty good picture of me, Michael and the ex-boyfriend in the Comic Island.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael would not stop saying that while we were in the Toon Lagoon island.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This is what I get for hanging on to someone's dog as a favor.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
While I was on my own ride holding on to a dog's leash, Michael decided to blow up a chunk of the island to pass the time.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here we come Dino-Land island!





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
YIKES! A DINO!!!





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael pushed me down and ran off hoping to find another cartoon Hush-A-Bomb.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We managed to get on the Jurassic Park River Adventure ride and we were 100% sure that we would no longer see anymore dinosaurs.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael isn't too sure about this now.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We ended up seeing some dinos after all.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This one looked more gross than my neck.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael got scared when the raptor cage almost fell on top of us.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It looks like a raptor escaped and instead of running for his life Michael takes a picture.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here's Michael acting like a raptor now.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We just went down the drop and Michael seems to be explaining what just happened by using one hand.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Another relative perhaps?





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Now we're in the Lost Continent island...Michael is on the left.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
To prepare for the Dueling Dragons ride we must refresh ourselves with tonic and elixir!





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It appears the tonic and elixir have a few side effects.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
ALL GONE!!!





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
After dueling it out Michael decides to talk on ye old cell phone.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
My brother is practically a god here at the Lost Continent island.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Of course Michael doesn't want to make a big deal about it.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here we are...Michael, myself and Michael's spewing monument.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Our next stop is Suess Landing where all crazy types of Michael can also be found.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
TWINS 'N THINGS!!!





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We had no idea Woody Woodpecker was so freakin' huge.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We may be leaving Islands of Adventure, but the adventure still lives on inside all of us.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael can't seem to hop over this kitty.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This will most likely be featured in the latest vacation brochure.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This one won't though because of my ugly mug.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Playin' da field out on City Walk.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The Universal globe was on fire so we took a quick picture before it burnt down.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We were pretty sure this arc thing was going to crumble to bits so we took a quick picture before it collapsed.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We had enough time to take another one.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Now it's time to check out this Universal Studios place.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
As you can see there's a fine mural of Michael on one of the studio walls.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The Donkey from Shrek wouldn't shut up when we took the picture, but that was okay because unlike in the movie he was actually funny this time. OOOHHHHH.....DIS!!!





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We went to the pub with our buddy Shrek and got totally smashed.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here's a statue of the Wolfman doing a pretty good impressionof Michael serving pizza.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael is a little creeped out being in NYC all by himself.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
King Kong is long gone but there's a Mummy ride so that will have to do.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We just got off the Mummy ride and don't have a clue what to think of it.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
If there's one thing that I find hilarious it's when Michael gets his head eaten by a fake dead shark.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This game looks like Michael.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here we are with the Back to the Future time machine before we stole it and went two years into the future to see us pursue our dream as telemarketers.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We found a guy who did a really bad impression of Doc so we got a picture.






Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
"GEEZ...what a horrible impression of Doc Brown!"





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This part of Universal Studios is dedicated entirely to Michael.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
HA! Michael didn't know there was another side to the sign.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Are you keeping count of how many Michael Hogan spottings there are?





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
If there's one ride Michael hated it's Men In Black.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael usually isn't one to get star struck BUT THE BLUES BROTHERS!!! WOWZA!!!!!





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I'd say I held my breath underwater but you can see the carpet so it sorta takes away the illusion.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here's that mural again.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I think this is when Michael finally got tired of me taking pictures of him in front of ridiculous things.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We're back for another adventure at the non-Universal Studios park.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The adventure begins!





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael doesn't notice what I'm taking a picture of...





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
...still doesn't notice anything...





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
...and now he does.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We stopped at the finest amusment park resaurant there is and Michael is enjoying his urine-free beverage.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It's not as funny when it's urine-free.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Not even the solids had a trace of urine! This is some fancy amusement park restaurant.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It's serious business for me when it's time to eat urine-free food.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It's a good thing we looked away while that nuclear bomb went off. Unfortunately the waiter who took the picture is now permanently blind.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The park looked like it was still intact even after that nuclear bomb.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
But then a chunk of that restaurant was about to fall on us and then this rock dude came and saved us. I have a high respect for rock dudes now.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael starts swearing up a storm now that we are back in the Toon Lagoon island.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here we are on a log ride and Michael isn't too sure about how he likes being in front.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Twins on a log ride.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It's been a little while since another Michael spotting.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael got soaked from a little drop...hopefully this water was also urine-free.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Yeah...it's getting too easy.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Uh oh...looks like a drop is up ahead.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
That was one steep (and wet) drop.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Hey look, it seems like we just can't get enough of the Lost Continent island because we're back there again. And that rock dude failed to keep everything up.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The sun is setting so we must hurry up and do as much crap as possible.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael didn't feel like walking through City Walk again.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Back at Universal Studios but that urine-free food was starting to kick in.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
After going on a few more craptacular rides it was night time and the park closed.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I could have swore that globe was rolling towards me.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We're back out at City Walk and ready to go back to my place.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It's the next morning and Michael stars off his day by checking for fleas.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
No fleas and it's time to go.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Twins in the car.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We followed this jeep for a while and it crashed into this golf course so we figured we had enough time to play a round.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael doesn't trust me with the camera because who knows what kind of relatives we'll find of his.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
A few minutes later a plane crashed on the golf course to and as you can see Michael is pointing it out for you home viewers.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We didn't even get to hole 3 yet and that urine-free food wasn't sittin' right.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I was threatened by the cyborg eye laser.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Puttin' along.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I don't care how "sturdy" a bridge is I'm always about to fall over.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here's Michael trying to put while I'm bugging him.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here's Michael about to beat me with a putter for bugging him.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael knows of only one way to get the ball out of the hole and that is to dig.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Twenty minutes later he actually got it.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Here I am playing around with the camera.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael is about to give me a little surprise.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
The surprise was not urine-free food.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
I was knocked out but when I came to Michael came back for more.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
MIchael digs again.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Spew...





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Hopefully Michael will spew something that is urine-free.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
While we were having fun golfing we also learned that in the congo there is an abundant supply parking lots.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael digs for his ball in the puddle.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Mission accomplished.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
We had a little bit of time left before Michael had to go to the airport so we went to Lake Eola in downtown Orlando.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael is excited to walk.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael is excited to sit.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
These two are the true twins.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
They even look the same with the cyborg eye.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This dock seems secure so it gets a thumbs up.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Not a bad pic, eh?





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Michael can't stop taking pictures of himself.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
Thus concludes our walk around Lake Eola.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
It's time for Michael to leave and it got a little awkward since we are men and we don't know how to say goodbye.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
One last picture together.





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
"Okay well, see ya..."





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
"...I had a swell time..."





Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
"...jerk."
