Well, you know, they're YANKees.

And being Canadian, I not only get the reference, I've actually HAD beer in a tree. As well as the backbacon comic books and other stuff.

Border Reiver · « **Reply #21 on:** 21 Dec 2009, 04:53 »

What your ancestors did is in no way relative to what you do. Mine were blacksmiths and border reivers shipped from the Anglo-Scottish border to Ireland to "pacify" the locals. I'm only marginally competent when it comes to working with my hands, and the Canucks are hardly likely to ship me and the family to a foreign land to settle and beat down the natives because I've been nicking other people's stuff.

Looks like there are lots of people out there who know Bob and Doug - not obscure enough I guess.

Border Reiver · « **Reply #22 on:** 21 Dec 2009, 04:57 »

Today's results:

What do you want for Christmas?

My wife not to have to work that day 1 (4.8%)
Peace on Earth, Goodwill towards all people 5 (23.8%)
You to stop jamming your day down our throats 7 (33.3%)
Beer, in a tree (bonus points if you get the reference) 8 (38.1%)

Total Voters: 21

Looking at the results, I can see where people's priorities lie. Make it a Christmas Ale for me then and watch this.

I agree, who are descended from (particularly distantly) has little to no bearing on what you are now. If you were descended from any one of the various indigenous people that were taken over by the English/French/Dutch/Whatever there is probably a reasonable amount of mixing going on, so are you really a part of the oppressed or the oppressors?
Personally I have no idea what ancestry I have, but it seems that Faye is really taking hers quite hard... odd that she should have a panic attack over her ancestors being whores rather than telling Angus about her dad. Perhaps her hysteria was misplaced...

I read that as "Ape-ologist" at first, and thought it was an evolution reference...

That being said, you can really get some weird impressions of your family history when you're younger. I remember thinking my mother's family was Italian when I was little.

They were Russo-Polish Jews.

And no, I have no idea where that impression came from, other than my grandma using her hands a lot when she talked...

And now some more from me:
Did the Yankees attack with different sized ships? If so, I suppose they were seamen in all vessels (seminal vesicles... yeah).
And did those ships have rubberized hulls?
Did any have cannons known for going off too early?
Did they ride whores while aboard ship, or only on the city streets?
Did they ever get an alarm from the ship and have to pull out early?
Were these seamen sent by General Hooker?
Did they get whores from all the salt spray and yelling?

I could go on for a long long time.

Faye clearly has no desire to take up her ancestor's career. Thus she can now be classified as "whore de combat".

OK.

The sane folks in this forum (both of us) will be glad to know that the 53' shipping container that I ordered for the new penalty box should arrive tomorrow so we won't have to endure this constant assault too much longer.

Following a profession must provide pay of some form, even if it's only a hunk of cheese. Hunter-gathering is more direct than that. Unless, of course, you're being paid to hunt and gather, I suppose.

That's another thing. I assume the 'she' Faye's talking about is her great, great grandmother. For her grandmother to have been a whore in the Civil War*, she'd have to have been about 131 (at least) when Faye was born. That and/or one of Faye's parents was right spry themselves. Anyway, I hope it was a paternal ancestress. "That ole Whitaker whore"** is too good to pass up.

Apart from totally banging of course... or you wouldn't exist.
And maybe emigrating... or you'd have been born somewhere else.
And banging/not banging someone with a nasty little recessive gene... or you'd be/not be suffering from haemophilia, porphyria, cystic fibrosis etc.
And making/not making lots of money... or you'd have grown up rich/poor.
And your Dad's sperm determined your sex, locking you into your society's favoured system of gender stratification.

Border Reiver · « **Reply #49 on:** 22 Dec 2009, 05:08 »

Yes - if our ancestor's hadn't had sex we wouldn't be here of course.

Faye seems to be bouncing back from the realization that perhaps on of her ancestors may have had a less then conventional job description. Or at least one not normally found at www.jobshop.ca

And it's the tits Faye, and the backside, and the pleasing symetry of the face. Initially. After that its up to your personality....
