A couple of things

[valarltd]

1) Keep your teabagging to yourself. Sexual or protesting taxes on the top 5%, I don't want to hear about it.

2) If you are using "anglo" to mean all people of European ancestry, STOP IT! If you call me Anglo, I will put the Celtic Smackdown from Hell on you. It begins with "You do realize Anglos have been oppressing my people for about 1500 years and the laws were just relaxed within my lifetime," and ends with the sun shining through the eyesockets of your severed head above my door lintel. (we Celts are a headhunting tribe, Irish, Scot and Breton alike)

Well, maybe only the first, but it really makes me NUTS.

What about the wingnut family members who hate Arabs and everything to do with the middle east, and go into full denial mode that their family tree is heavy in the surname "Sarazin"? Not to mention the fact that the same branch of the family is definitely more swarthy than your average person of German heritage?

Face it, ya'll. We have Semitic roots. *cackles*

I love Genealogy. :D

I got looked at like I was crazy because during American History I gave a report about the quarter of my family heritage that came to America as indentured servants. *sigh*

And I'm down with #2. When shit goes down, I want in! (So sayeth the heavily Germanic-heratiged heathen!)

My last year of college, I had a lovely blonde haired, blue eyed friend, and I forget what ethnicity or nationality she said she was. But my great, great grandmother was a full Cherokee, a member of the tribe, and somehow married into our family.

My friend giggled and said, "My people wiped out yours," at which point I replied, "Bitch, I'll kill you," and wrapped my hands around her throat. Though I couldn't help but laughing as I was mock-shaking her head off her shoulders at the absurdity of it all because I'm, to the best of my knowledge (long story,) caucasian.

I'm fascinated with Anglo-Saxon literature, primarily around the time the Germanic tribes came barging their way into England and ending somewhere around the time the Christians put the epic bitchsmack on their culture, and it reflects in the writing with the dissolution of giving all the glory to Wyrd. Probably doesn't help that the rest of the family is from Germany, hence increased interest, though we probably had nothing to do with jack, location and all.

So, if you ever want to start that smackdown Celtic riot from hell, well, I'm probably going for hell to say that I'd love to see it, 'cause it sounds cool :P

Yay for ethnicity and getting it right. The one time I accidentally called my roommate from China Japanese (complete slip of the tongue,) yeah, I can definitely see where you're coming from.

I am on-call for Celtic smackdown. Have they never heard of the Anglo-Irish?
