Sucky RELATIVES

[trunks2k]

Um........

Er........

.....my eleventh-great-uncle was beheaded in the Wars of the Roses?

^^;;

My great-great (great?) uncle was Black Jack Kehoe. He was a Molly McGuire, and hung for a crime he probably didn't commit. The governor of PA pardoned him posthumously in the 70s. Damn you Pinkerton Detective Agency!!

I don't mean to double post, but all I have to say his OMG you just made my day. I had no clue James Marsters what going to be in the movie. You've just made me have a combined DBZ/Buffy the Vampire Slayer fangirl moment.

Yeah, he's playing Piccolo. I'll be interested in seeing how he does. (I'm a Piccolo fan)

....

I'm related to Chief Joseph of the Turtle Clan, Iriquois tribe, and all that.
I'm also obliquely related to Thomas Hardy.
Also Oliver Hardy.

I had a relative sometime back who was put in the stocks for picking peas on a Sunday, too.

^-.-^

Woot! The men in our family were all beheaded in the Wars of the Roses, too! Our lands and titles were stripped, and we were banished to Scotland....migrated to Ireland, and then came to America! Family story says we were cousins of whoever the losing guy was in the War....forget the name atm.....

(It'd be cool if you were on some branch of my family!)

[RecoveringKinkoid]

I almost forgot one of my cousins, who has 5 kids by his first wife and I don't even know how many grandkids, had his first marriage annulled.

[Bagboy]

Where do I start?

My father, is a complete jackass alcoholic. His new wife is a bitch, and she drinks box wine.

My uncle, he is gay, and several times, he has tried to convert me to be gay, but I resisted. His partner, is a music producer, and he got a grammy this year. My aunt, is the only one I can stand on my dad's side.

My cousins on my dads side are another story:

One, is absolutley lazy, and doesn't do anything, yet he's an artist.
The other, is in to stage productions and the like, I'm beginning to think my uncle converted him.

On my mothers side, is the jackpot!

My grandparents I can actually stand.

My oldest aunt, lives in California with her three kids, since one of them is in College. The three that still live with her, are spoiled rotten, and they have an "I'm better then you, so you should go die" attitude.

My second oldest aunt, who lives in kansas, is basically Belezebub in human form. My cousins who are in Kansas, i like them.

My uncle(their only boy child) I like, he's cool.

The next aunt, lives in St. Louis. She's a tad strange, we don't know where she came from.

My mother, is downright scary. When she is pissed, you can't even get near her.

My youngest aunt: recently divorced, has two kids, and yet she thinks its party time.

My stepfather's family:

His middle sister and her husband are stark raving mad liberals. They have even taught their son to spit at republicans. I was told once by their son that my "Party is the devil, and you should be expelled from earth" He's only 11. I hate kids that think they are so political.

Anyways, that is my family.

Oh, my distant cousin, Bono is not liked by anyone in the family; here and in Ireland.

Lol. It would. Tenth cousin once removed or something random like that.

After nosing through my dad's family tree stuff...the name was Lawrence Bathurst, and the man was apparently a mate of Henry VI, and was chopped by the Yorkists for his association with the Lancastrians in 1464. Lands were stripped near Sussex at Bodenhurst, and they settled in Kent...

Blargh. Waaay OT>

[freaktard]

Wow.

When I read the first post in this thread, I thought I might tell about my sister-in-law, who makes a good living but still mooches off everyone else in the family, especially her poor mother. But after reading the rest of the stories here, I think I'll just keep quiet.

[Aramika]

Am I weird because I don't really have any sucky relatives (at least nowhere near as sucky as those posted)? Or just lucky?

[SongsOfDragons]

Why d'ya think I'm talking about Mr. Bathurst up there. My family's relatively normal.

I vote for LUCKY.

[RedRoseSpiral]

I vote for LUCKY.

I second this vote. A normal family may be boring but at least there's less of a chance of seeing a relative on Springer.

I would like to preface this by saying this man was no father of mine, he merely donated biological material. My daddy is a wonderful man and I love him dearly. Who cares I didn't meet him till I was 5?

The man who sired me had 6 kids that I know of for sure. Had 2 with wife #1, me and my brother with wife #2, and two others with wife #3. This story is about my oldest half brother, Junior. Keep in mind he was really a junior, this man's NAMESAKE!

Well, the first sucky thing he did was get him hooked on heroin. Thank god Junior got off it, but in such a drastic way... apparently, daddy dearest and Junior were shooting up together by some railroad tracks. They nodded off or something. Father of the year comes out of it, and wanders off, leaving his son laying half across the tracks. There is speculation that the train is what roused our fine specimen of slimehood. At any rate, Junior was left there - for the train to run over! Seriously, this man has only one leg because our father left him on the tracks.

He did more, but nothing could compare to that. Although I am still pissed at him for giving my mom hepatitis when she was pregnant with me, causing me to develop antibodies. End result? I can never donate blood.

At least he is finally free of his addictions.
