Very Important Day In History

[Willie Dixon]

That boat seems to be bounching on those waves. He may just be tryin' to hold on to keep from going overboard.

[Leo Tanner]

Naw, if ya look close he's about ta do in a bad guy with a large dagger, ya just can't see him in the shot

[Texas Lawdog]

Leo, You been watchin'  "Navy Seals" too much!

[Leo Tanner]

GI Jane.  Lil had it on last weekend

[Willie Dixon]

either way... way too much! LOL
GI Jane is pretty hot though! that and Viggo is in it!

... that's why there are specific jobs for each person on a Tall Ship and they all have to be in sync... if not, no good things happen!

No tall ships for me.  Gimme a well-rigged two-masted schooner and I'll sail circles around them tall ships!!!!  Unless they start a-shootin' at me of course, in which case I'll just come about 'n disappear over the horizon about 50 or 60 degrees off the wind...  

At the moment, it is entirely possible that I have too much blood in my saltwater-and-alcohol stream.  Thank Heavens that I inherited my alcohol tolerance from the Germans and Scots-Irish instead of the Choctaws!

Del, I got mine when I was at THE FORT last fall. My 35th wedding anniversary is the 16th of March. I've been known to drink a dram or two of single malt scotch and Bushmills Irish whiskey during the winter time. I'm an eighth Cherokee on my Dad's side along with some Clan Robertson thrown in.

[Delmonico]

Mom's  mom is the Scot's-Irish, Hickey is the last name.  Need to research sometime.  Not a common name, but there was a Hickey that bought bufflo hides for Lobenstein in Levenworth during the Texas part of that.

You know why God placed alcohol on the Earth, dontcha?  It was to keep the Irish and the Indians from ruling the world!

here's a schooner for ya Daniel:

sure is a beut isn't she?

Abso-danged-lutely!  The schooner has, in my not-so-humble opinion, the best and most balanced rig there is.  She can sail in dang near any direction, and do it faster/smoother than any other rig.

[Leo Tanner]

Lil is Scotts Irish/German.  I's mostly a mick with just enough Yugo in me ta give me a last name teachers an waiting room nurses could never pronounce.  Used ta sit there at the doc's waitin fer them ta call me,  all the while wonderin where the guy they kept callin over an over was--he was missin his turn

My favorite single-malt Scotch Whisky, for the moment at least, is Balvenie Double-Wood.  Och laddie, 'tis smoooooth goin' down. My favorite Irish Whisky, hands-down, is Tullamore Dew (though Jameson's will do).

My Scots-Irish ancestors came from County Fermanagh in Ulster Province. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_Fermanagh

My German ancestors (the von der Bergs, Americanized as Funderberg or Funderburk) came from northern Germany, along the Wupper River.  There's even an ancestral castle called Schlossberg.  And of course, my Choctaw ancestors are from Mississippi.

[Leo Tanner]

County Cork here.  Jennings and McBride.

     Used ta win bets doing taste tests tween Bushmills an Jameson.  The prize fer winning was not having ta pay fer the drinks.  I was cheatin though, the other contestants really focused on the taste (which is silly after having straight whiskey) the obvious difference was in the color   So long as you didn't let yer eyes get fuzzy it was easy.

Leo, You sneeky lil' devil!

Back in '72 I was sent to Parris Island and the family lived over at the housing area at Burton.  Our next door neighbors were the greatest people you could imagine.  Her maiden name was Funderberg.  She might have been a relative of yours.....but then again, she was a dusky Nubian lady about 6'1" and an easy 225 pounds, and didn't have much resemblance to you at all.

My father is of German decent.  Wait... he moved here from Germany.  What do you call that?

Who knows where my mother's people are from.  That goes too far back.  All I know is that she's white, blue eyed and dyed her hair blonde for as long as I can remember.

[Texas Lawdog]

German, I guess.
