Marcus and Brian Giles Sound Hilarious

From WithLeather, origin of all that is right in the world, comes this story of the quirky (OK, downright weird) Giles brothers, both of whom now play in San Diego.

As Matt over at WithLeather says, it's hard not to blockquote the entire USA Today story, because every sentence has something weird happening ... but here's a selection of the best in abridged blockquote form:

1. "You get nervous when you see those guys come into the shower," says [Chris] Young, a Princeton graduate. "Let's put it this way: You definitely don't close your eyes in there, even when you're shampooing."

So just what happened in there to make Young flee as if one of the Giles boys pulled a fire alarm?

"Ah, we just like to shave in there," Brian says, referring to their body hair, not their faces. "Chris, for some reason, thinks it's gross."

2. Ask him what their father does for a living, Brian deadpans: "He's a pimp." And their mother? "She's a stripper."

3. They filmed a series of commercials Monday night that was supposed to last no more than 30 minutes. It took nearly two hours. It began with Marcus, a second baseman, saying it was cool having makeup applied to their faces. ("I haven't done this since I was 5," Marcus says, "back when I wanted to be a girl.") It ended with Brian dropping his pants and jumping on Marcus, with the two giggling uncontrollably until the cameras stopped.

4. "I'd be in (former manager Bruce) Bochy's office having a serious meeting and Brian would come in there fully naked, showing his batting stance," the GM says. "He's normal except for the tanning booths, shaving his body and walking around with no clothes. One Giles is enough. I'm not sure if I can handle two of them."

There's tons more, some of which may or may not be appropriate for the family-friendly atmosphere here at AOL. In any case, read the whole thing. You might be disgusted, or you might laugh uncontrollably ... either way, plan on spitting up some of your morning bagel.
