IamAn identical triplet, I have my personal army. AMA
My brothers and I are 23 years old. We don't just have similar physical characteristics, we also have very similar personalities, HOWEVER, we have very distinctive qualities as well.

Here are other pictures of us, a younger picture. The order is Mike, Mitch, Matt in the first link. Mitch, Matt, Mike for the other http://i.imgur.com/fps41.jpg

Non identical triplet here, my army is not nearly as well maintained as yours
Thediepend246 karma
Trust me, the army we had was an every-man for himself kind of deal. We did a lot of growing up since then, I'm sure you have your own army. If not now, you will
I_Am_Jacques331 karma
I have a couple questions.
1) Have you ever taken the place of one of your brothers? (or vice versa)
2) How often do you all dress alike?
3) Ever consider doing a badass sketch comedy show/sitcom?
Thanks!
Thediepend406 karma
1) Yes, multiple times with classes during high school. Never in college though 2) We rarely dress alike, but when we do, it's usually out of mistake. Which happens a lot more often than we would like. We make sure that it doesn't happen by asking what each other is wearing sometimes. 3)We have done a commercial for Oster hair clippers lol. I've always wondered if we could ever amount to a comedy show, but never really looked for an opportunity.
and you're welcome!

Has either one of your girlfriends mistaken one for the other & cause a sexy mistake?
Thediepend436 karma
never, even if any of our girlfriends did make a mistake like that, the three of us would never do anything that could cause potential problems.
DevouredxZombie183 karma
Question number 2. Is there the slightest bit of truth in a twin can maybe know what the other is thinking?
Thediepend434 karma
haha we have moments where we say the same exact thing at the same time quite frequently. I know that doesn't sound too impressive, but we say it in the same tone, same volume, and same length.
We also share the same dreams too. THis is rare though, it happened like 5 times within the last 3 years.
We cannot feel each others pain though, however, we can pick up on each others emotions and feelings almost instantly.
Thediepend252 karma
currently? A little bit (According to friends) But there are some differences. I am the most athletic brother, so I have a slightly bigger frame than the other 2. The youngest is the tallest by 1 cm... that's not too helpful. And the middle brother has a larger forehead from an accident he had when he was a baby.
Thediepend223 karma
haha i truly was an accident. A photographer left the middle brother on a counter (while he was a baby) with no support and he ended up falling off the counter. It caused substantial injury to him, and actually reformed his head (since a baby's skull is not completely developed at that age)
Clovyn241 karma
Ever pull a time-traveler prank on someone? "I'm you from the future!" etc..
Thediepend674 karma
not a traveling prank but a teleport trick. We all used to work at the same job at once, and what ever a customer asked of us, we would have another on stand by to take care of the request (we were servers at a restaurant) we made a lot of tips that way.
trpv1226 karma
Have you ever mistaken one brother for the other? I would imagine it would be pretty easy to do, although on the other hand no one would know the differences between you better than you.
Thediepend440 karma
Honestly, I can tell them apart 50 yards away, while they are facing the opposite direction. It's not so much the physical difference that makes it easy to tell who is who (although you're right, it is easy for us) but the personality behind the way they present themselves shown physically... that sounds weird, but I hope you understand what I mean.
Thediepend546 karma
I am the more social triplet. I like to be around people and be more outgoing. I am much more aggressive than the other two. I tend to be the more vain triplet. I am also viewed more as a leader (not within the brother domain but more so in the outside environment). I am much more short tempered.
The middle triplet is more about constructive thought, he is the most intelligent out of the three of us ( Even though we are all pretty intelligent), he is much more laid back and goofier than the two of us. He is more serious in academics though. He also expresses his emotions and feelings much better. He is not a push over like the two of us could be. Also, he can befriend just about anyone because of his social skills
THe last triplet is the analytical thinker. He dissects any idea or thought. He is a lot more passive than the two of us. He asks why and not how. He used to be the shy one but that doesnt really apply anymore. He has a good heart and always looks at the best side of people. Among the brothers, he is the most logical and well spoken. He is also a people pleaser which has gotten him in trouble a few times
There is a lot more I can write about, but this is probably the most general list
manifest3r193 karma
This will probably get buried, but fellow triplet here!
I've only met one other sets of triplets where there were all guys, normally one is a male/female while the other two are the opposite gender. We were a natural set too, mom didn't take any fertility drugs or anything.
Thediepend760 karma
Of course, I have oodles.
One of the best stories I have is when the three of us banded together after we were called racial slurs (We are half Chinese). It started off with me being ridiculed by a pair of douche bags which quickly escalated to physical assault. I was out numbered, but out of no where, I see my brother running to help me. He sucker punched one of the guys and pulled the other guy off of me. Then all of a sudden, our other brother jumps out from a crowd of onlookers and went for the guy who was punched. I regained myself and joined in.
Even though i was alone in the first place, my brothers came right away (which they found out through a friend). I have my own army, it's great.
your_nagging_aunt874 karma
Imagine what those dudes must have thought, beating you up, then getting sucker punched by you from behind. Then you jump out of a crowd and finish the fight.
Thediepend475 karma
We were trying to make them see double so they thought they were being attacked by six of the same people... that would have been a hoot.
Thediepend774 karma
none of us are. Although, I am the original copy. They are the clones.
Thediepend210 karma
There was a time when we all had a problem... We are no longer into graphic tees needless to say.
IAmIntergalactic116 karma
If offered the right price, would you three ever consider making a porno? What would that price be?
Thediepend169 karma
....it sounds like you're part of the porn industry... but I would not shoot a porno with brothers. I couldn't.
Thediepend95 karma
meh, im sure it would be tempting if the opportunity was true, but i stick with a hard nah
Thediepend327 karma
in our case, we are 1 in 4 million. We are natural triplets, not fertility drugs or anything. The state we live in has a recorded 3 sets of identical triplets. WE are the oldest set
mishtram98 karma
I've always wondered this about identical twins (or in this case, triplets). Does it annoy you when we get your names confused?
Also, do you consider yourself better looking that the others, or exactly the same?
Thediepend163 karma
at first the three of us couldn't stand being called the wrong name. But that was while we were younger. Getting upset about being called the wrong name didn't help people tell us apart. It happens on a daily basis, by that, I mean about 5-10 times a day. We accept the fact that people cannot tell us apart and we really do not blame them. So we just politely reply with the correct name.
And we never consider ourselves more attractive than one another, although we do receive a lot of feedback pertaining to who is the most attractive. And it really depends on who says it, a lot of people like my more athletic body (in comparison to the others) while other people like my brothers' facial structure better or something.
hausehunter196 karma
You don't have to reveal your name(s)/identities but just curious if your parents gave you each completely different names or went the route of Harry, Larry, and Gary?
Thediepend208 karma
I was trying to avoid names but I will give them out. My name is Michael, the middle is Mitchell, and the right one is Matthew. So yes, we all have similar names and we dont appreciate it lol
chrisq51878 karma
Were you in the same class as your brothers a lot growing up? How did the fact that you were all the same age affect your friendships with the other kids at school?
Thediepend163 karma
Yes, almost every class actually up until 6th grade. There have been a few times where we were forced to have separate home rooms (out of teacher's request) so no one would get confused. We were also forced to where name tags at one point.
Being the same age as each other really hasn't affected our friend-making skills. It actually brought more attention to us. We did have a lot of mutual friends, but we also had a lot of separate friends. Being the same age did have one negative affect though, we never had individual birthdays. It was always one massive party which didn't seem like a special day for the sake of individuality.
Thediepend139 karma
its all me. But if my brothers were answering, it would be the same answers
Thediepend203 karma
We've switched classes multiple times in high school. Sometimes even taken test for one another. I was really good with some subjects, while the other two had their own perks in different subjects
Thediepend229 karma
yes and no. My father is Buddhist, my mother is Christian. All three of us chose Christianity as religious views. But we gained values through both religions
how_lucky_can_u_get50 karma
whats the craziest story about you three doing/ being somewhere together?
Thediepend142 karma
The craziest story of us doing together was probably being called by some sort of agent, asking us if we wanted to do a commercial for Oster products. So we did a 38 second commercial that took us 2 days to film.
We were 8 years old and the other actors in the commercial was Ben Stein and the dirt-devil lady.
johnfactorial12 karma
What Halloween costumes have you guys done together? Please say Agent Smiths.
Thediepend24 karma
