And just what might you be?
 
Are you English, Scottish, German, Irish, Luxembourgish, Welsh, wolf-ish, etc. Which I am all of the preceeding. Didn't know I was Luxembourgish did you? Even though I live in Maryland you may find it suprising I was not born in the US of A. Where was I born? I was born in...no wait I want you to guess. What family mysteries does your family hold, other then the one about your aunt who shoot your grandfather that are suppose to keep under wraps.

Havoc 06-14-2006 08:00 AM

I'm sorry but... what?

Rex Tirano 06-14-2006 08:06 AM

I think he's asking what nationality everyone is. He's trying to make this a japish and funesque by making people guess where he was born. He's also asking about your private family secrets.

I'm English.
I was born down south where all the farmers breed.
My family secret is that I'm secretly a man. Suprise Rich!

Alright I was born in Armagh Ireland. Anyway the idea was asking what kind of blood do you have (I dont mean A,B,O, or AB either). Be it English, Scottish, you get the idea

Abeguy 06-14-2006 09:35 AM

I'm Irish, all the way, red hair and everything, But I'm also An American

Havoc 06-14-2006 10:26 AM

Im Dutch, with a few drops of German blood. My family secrets.... hmmmmmm I dunno. Oh wait, my grandfather helped the Germans as a train engineer in WWII so he wouldn't get killed. Thats pretty much the only thing I can think off.

Jacob 06-14-2006 11:16 AM

I have Dutch, Irish and Italian in me.

...and tomorrow i'll have Afro-Carribean, Russian and Japanese in me.

*Cough*

skillya_glowi 06-14-2006 12:02 PM

I'm a Russian/Ukranian combination.

P.S. Cough drop, Jacob?

So thats what they call 'em? Anyhow just about 100 percent Italian on my Dad's side, about 100 percent German on my ma's side.

Nah, I just have no idea how to say it without adding an 'a' and making it "I'm a New Zealander." I DON'T ALWAYS WANT AN 'A' GOD DAMMIT!

The Shadowman, weren't you all full blown out Native American Indian represent a while back, or am I confusing you with someone else? :confused:

New Zealander. I live in the mountains and coexist peacefully with the natives.

Kind of like me. Only if your replace 'New Zealander' with 'Pennsylvanian' and if you replace 'natives' with 'stupid red necks.'

OANST 06-15-2006 12:43 PM

Are you asking what country we're from or what nationality we are?

I live in America.

Nationality English.

Jacob 06-15-2006 02:08 PM

"Anyhow just about 100 percent Italian on my Dad's side, about 100 percent German on my ma's side."

Italian - Moussolini.

German - Hitler.

My, aren't we a well formed ball of discrimination in human form.

Godlesswanderer 06-15-2006 03:04 PM

I'm 1/8th Irish, 1/8th German, something English and something Portugese. I was born in south-east England, near London.

It's not really a family secret, just something I found out last week. 300 years ago, my family were wealthy Portugese aristocrats. Something happened with the King (an argument or something) and they were forced to flee the country and come to England. Shame they didn't keep all their money really :p.

Lol, Portugal owned your family. :p

Just think, you too could be one of those hardcore rich kid gamers right now.

W00t for Sioux! That's what I like to call myself. But I'm really just wun-atef. The rest of me is German and Dutch. Mmm-mmm.


Oh, and Le-mau at Jacob.

Made in China :D.

I am chinese born. Came to here and become English. Ma got a better job here in England then moved to Scotland. Parents opened a resturant. Ma droped her job as secretary on fashion. Scottish now I guess:confused: Think I'll stick to English!!

I know you didnt ask for life story. But I thought the concept of it was pretty empty

Nath 06-16-2006 06:39 AM

Actually, your three line story sounds a bit interesting. I thought stories like that of immigration and adapting to the new land were cool.

SeaRex 06-16-2006 07:29 AM

Southeastern United States.

American.

German/Irish ancestry. A little bit of Cherokee Indian, but not nearly enough to really "count."

Wil 06-16-2006 02:07 PM

The history of my surname suggests my paternal lineage ‘originated’ in Gloucestershire and moved gradually towards London before we become the second Bunce family in Norfolk when my dad was a nipper.

But more comprehensively speaking, I'm just plain haven't-discovered-anything-else-in-me British. I consider myself a Citizen of the World, anyway.

Nate 06-16-2006 11:27 PM

Australian born

My mother was born in Australia to Hungarian parents - her father came before the war from Transylvania (now part of Romania) and her mother was going to come until war broke out and travel was cancelled. So she joined him after the war ended and got married.

During the war she and her sister hid out using the papers of their non-Jewish friends and got a job at a munitions factory in Budapest. One day one of those friends applied for a job at the factory and the nazi foreman realised what was going on and got ready to have them arrested and sent to a concentration camp. As fate would have it my great-aunt was sick on that day and my grandmother stayed home to take care of her. She was sick for three days and on the third day the Russians conquered Hungary and saved them!

I'll write about my father's side another time.

Abeguy 06-17-2006 07:43 PM

Rubber_Soul 06-18-2006 05:35 AM

I'm half german and english.

Abecrazy 06-18-2006 08:25 AM

While I was born in Minnesota in the US of A my ancestrage include mostly Irish with a wee bit of English and a tad Native American. I don't look the least bit Native American but if you look at a picture of my Nan you can see it (she's a half breed).
I think The Exoddus is the same as me cept his father is part Russian too.

"I espected some people to say,

Not all Americans are uncouth and not all Americans are stupid overly proud rednecks. Of course I can speak only for myself...unfortunatly my dad is one of the above. He drives me nuts!

SeaRex...I hear ya on the native american point. Too bad we don't get any money or scholorships for college. *pout*
