The details of my life are quite inconsequential ... Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15-year-old French prostitute named Chloé with webbed feet. My father would womanize; he would drink; he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament ... My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon ... luge lessons ... In the spring, we'd make meat helmets ... When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds — pretty standard, really. At the age of 12, I received my first scribe. At the age of 14, a Zoroastrian named Vilmer ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum — it's breathtaking ... I suggest you try it.

Brown hair, light blue eyes.

23and me says I've 98.5 percent European, with perhaps a smidge of east asian or Native American descent, depending on which model you look at.

about 60% northwestern Euro, about 20% eastern Euro, then a mix of Scandinavian/Mediterranean for the rest.

Typical white person. Interestingly, I had "native American ancestry" rumors on both sides of my family tree. Both are more or less bullshite, unless you go back something like 8 generations, even then its not clear.

My father's side came from England via Ireland. Originally settled in North Carolina when they crossed the pond before moving to southern Tennessee and North Alabama a few generations later. Mother's side came from France and Germany, with a little Cherokee thrown in there.

I don't know how but I do have enough Indian blood to be a card carrying member of the Echota Cherokee tribe.

Well, I don't carry the card with me.

Both sides of family came from England. One side settled in North Carolina and the other in Virginia. Both eventually moved to Alabama and Tennessee

I mean if you have roots in Appalachia there's probably a good chance that you do. I do about 5 generations back.

Anywho, mostly Welsh, Russian, and German here. With some French woven in when some of the German faction migrated there. Had a family member who served as a general in the Continental Army (from the Baltimore area). And had some folks hide out Jesse James when he was in the area. Bunch of damn outlaws.

I don't know anything beyond great grandfathers.

One is a flunkie, and a compulsive liar.

One was banging a French girl during WW2. Instead of ending it when Hitler did, he moved her back to Memphis to keep her as a side piece, so my great grandmother divorced him.

My mother is adopted, so I don't know much of anything about her father (a noted pos. My mom is the product of his affair), much less anyone beyond that.

But when I google my last name, and the name of my mother's pos father, they both come back as Scottish... So, there's that.

Jewish but I'm sure there is some other stuff in there but who knows. Family was a mix of German and Dutch Jew. Immediate family came over before any trouble. I do have some distant cousins who still live in the Munich area.

You wouldn't know it from what I look like except for my jewfro I grow once my hair gets longer than an inch. It's not curly, but really thick and and grows up and out.
