This will make Euro blood BOIL

[Caliga]

I can't remember if I'd mentioned this on Languish before, but the guy I got my surname from came to the US from Germany in 1740 with his brother.  We're not entirely sure, but it was either his brother or one of his sons who left Pennsylvania and moved to Virginia c. 1780 (I am not descended from either the brother or that particular son).  Shortly thereafter, he left Virginia for its western colony 'Transylvania', which later became the state of Kentucky.  This branch of the family shortened the surname, became thoroughly Southern, and ended up large landowners and slaveholders, whose sons fought for the Confederacy.  There are actually some black families around here that ended up with this surname.

Anyway, back when I was a staffing manager a guy worked for me who turned out to be a distant cousin descended from this family line, and he got me invited to their annual family reunion in Lexington (the family tends to live further south, in Madison County, Kentucky, but Lexington is more generally convenient to everyone).

When Cal meets his country cousins will: hilarity ensue?

[Grey Fox]

Maybe.

Dress as Roman Legionnaire. Take tons of picture & post it here.

No, we don't.

[Caliga]

I'm pretty sure I'm more knowledgable about your thoughts than you are, so: YES, YES YOU DO.

Only when you get folk going around saying "I'm Irish! My name is O'Neill and my great great grandfather was born there. English out!"
Generally meh. Many in Europe are interested in it themselves.

[Caliga]

Oh, ok.  Well, I'm proud to be an American.

[Eddie Teach]

It makes my blood BOIL that you ignored the sporcle quiz I linked for your benefit.

You mean when Cal goes: LOL I am German so I hate all French people?

[Brazen]

It merely makes us bemused. What we don't get is no-one says "I'm English-American". Ever.

[Ed Anger]

Ugh. Family reunions. 

[Camerus]

I'm English-Canadian.
