I am curious, can't help it. Is Deadbeat Cousin another persona puppeteered by Butterflies, or is he real?
Doesn't matter. It is entertaining either way. 
No. He is my cousin. He never used his account for ages, so I took it over and used it for sockpuppetry, but sadly that is him that's using it now.
TBH I don't think it's a good idea for him to be on this site.
Why not?
The biggest problem is that we always wind each other up, and tease each other. We'll end up doing that on the site, and we'll say stuff to each other that sounds bad, and other people will comment on it and think we're really nasty to each other. A lot of stuff from real life might then make it's way onto the forum. Some people might take it seriously and think we're really fighting, and take sides.
He's already started teasing me by pretending I'm attracted to Duke. I'm obviously above such childish behaviour, and would never mention him losing his virginity to a prostitute 
.
We did agree ages ago that he wouldn't post on the site, but his girlfriend's away at the moment and he's feeling bored.
I picked up on the teasing back and forth and didn't take it seriously, but I guess some people might.
I would hate to think that we'd end up trying to outdo each other, and that we'd just use the site to wind each other up. I doubt if either of us would be capable of posting on the same site without turning the site into a Gav versus Lorna fest.
Why not? The site already consists of one flame war after another. A little family bonding won't hurt. 
You two could call each other out! It'd be epic!
