Cameron Diaz, what?

My heritage wins: Half Italian Half Irish Catholic.

Be grateful you're not Irish on both sides. You'll achieve literary breakthroughs, but get drunk and lose them with your car keys. Sentimental sing-a-longs turn into fistfights and vice-versa. Santa leaves potatoes in your Christmas stocking, and if you watch The Bells of St. Mary's on St. Patrick's Day, you get drafted by the Pope. (Though rumor has it that a few well-timed Bobby Sands jokes get you kicked out immediately.)

I've lived amongst the Norse people, so why am I attracted to blonds?

It's because you lived among Norse people - skoal! :p

 

[chronic]

I do, however, still drink; occasionally even on the the toilet.

So long as you're not drinking from the toilet, no worries.


I'm a bit of a mutt myself. About half Norwegian, a quarter Swedish (how those two got together I will never know, but it's probably why I hate myself from time to time), and the rest is a hodge-podge of Brit, Pole, German and, I'm told, some tiny percentage of American Indian (no idea what tribe or if it's even true).

So, any black members here?

No?

Why am I not surprised?

Congrats! You snucked in the bestest post of the year with just an hour and ten minutes to go! Seriously, I had to change me undies.

[...] I know all about your strange habits and the adding of briney fish parts to everything you cook. Your booya pots and lefse. Your inability to be mean or say anything unpleasant or show any kind of otherwise human emotion. Those are my people, and I've spent years in therapy just to learn how to talk about my feelings.

And now that I can finally express myself I am scorned and ridiculed, pilloried in a community of my own making, like Frankenstein's monster, scarface or Jimmy Carter.

All I have to say to you is this, my Scandinavian friend; your women, they are beautiful yes, but their icy hearts and tiny, rock hard souls will crush and batter the strongest of men, and they will do it without so much as batting a naturally blond eyelash. I have seen their work up close, and I still bear the scars. I understand now why your countrymen drink to excess and engage in a higher than normal rate of homosexual activity.[...]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
much better.
thanks.
now I almost feel polish, or even irish.
now were did I put that plate of lutefisk...
:cool:

I got very, very steamed at the track this past summer. I thought that I had lost my shoes, after I took them off, but later to learn they were justt covered by my regurgitated hotdog.

St. Patty's day just doesn't have the flare it did back when I was drinking ;)

As soon as they really perfect the whole DNA thing, it will be fun to see just how mixed and alike we all are. If you look at The Thomas Jefferson/Sally Hemmings descendants, you can see that it would not be hard for people to be part black and not know it. When you can do a cheek swab, send it in , and have them tell you percentages, it will be very interesting. You will find out that everyone has some of every rage in there genes.

I did the National Geographic human genome project (a real scientific study of ancestry and mitochondrial DNA) and found that I came from Ethiopia (everyone came from Ethiopia), through Iran, Turned west to England and of course, took a boat to the USA. Of course, my ancestors were in Ethiopia, before Ethiopia was a counter (50,000 years ago) and Iran before it was even Persia, but you get the point. Had my ancestors headed east 50,000 years ago when they were in Iran, I'd be Asian, headed south from Ethiopia and I'd be African. Of course, it is all bullshit if you believe the Bible nutjobs that say that the earth is 13,020 years old because they figured out the years from the bible working back to "On the first day...", but that is another discussion.

soooo... Depending on how you define black, I could be as I'm sure that if I could test by DNA for it, my race would look like a long laundry list of all races.

Not to sound too "we are the world" and shit, but we are all every race (except the Norwegans).

Dear mpj (so classic website nick)!

I really like only one:
16) 360 days of sunshine every year.
I like see smiles on faces of nice people.
However, how people can write cool, sad and sarcastic things with this weather condition?
I really want get know...
Also - I can't drink in USA (I'm 18). Can you do for me fake ID?
I'm not certain.

Yes we did. There was a great documentary made about that African exodus, The Real Eve. Which is, maybe not surprisingly, based on a book of the same name.

Another Irish/Italian bloke here. But I do have a little English, American Indian and Spanish as well.
