I was reminded this weekend that my maternal grandmother shares her maiden name with Charles Manson.
Who do you really hope never shows up saying, “Hi, cousin!”
Not quite the same, but when someone was talking about my cousin Blanche Keller, and her sister Helen, I thought " Oh cool, I have a quasi-relative named Helen Keller". And then I thought about it again, and remembered that Blanche’s married name was Keller, and therefore whatever Helen’s full name is, it isn’t and never has been Helen Keller.
After due deliberation, I believe I posted this in the wrong forum.
Moved from IMHO to MPSIMS.
I believe this is my first MPSIMS OP. I’ll go shoot myself now. 
There is this guy I saw on TV with my last name who does stuff like nailing nails into his nasal passage, I really hope he’s not related.
I’m sure it would clear up that congestion of yours.
Flavor Flav…nuff said
A lady who looks familiar but I can’t quite place, who, when I open the door, looks down at the infant in her arms and says "Say hi to Daddy!’ :eek:
Sorry I killed your thread Frank, I guess, like you, I am not well suited to this MPSIMS thing.
I’m a very distant relative of least popular governor Bob Taft
If my distant cousins, Jesse and Frank James, were to come a knockin’ I do believe I’d be inclined to shoot ol’ Jesse in the back. By the way, today is the 125th anniversary of his death.
One of the monsters in California who raped and killed a little girl shares my last name. We (as far as I know) are not even remotely related…thank og.
As a slight hijack, I remember when his trial was going on, my co-workers made all manner of insipid and loathsome “jokes” to me (because our names were the same, you see…hahaha).
Well, we didn’t want you anyway. 
I share a name with one of the 9/11 hijackers. :eek: But then he’s not going to be showing up at my door anytime soon!
GW shows up on my door step with a rack of beef ribs and a 6-er of Kaliber and says: “Howdy, Pahtnah - got that weber fired up yet?”
I’d have a coronary.
Never mind…I misunderstood the assignment.
My mother’s mother’s mother’s maiden name was Hess, so I grew up wondering how/if I was related to this guy. Although there’s extensive genealogical documentation for some of my ancestral lines, great-grandma was brought over from present-day Germany as an orphan child around 1880, and we don’t even know her parents’ names, let alone which of her relatives stayed in the “old country” as others made their way to America.
You’re –
You’re related to –
:eek:
Damn man, I’m sorry. If it’s any consolation, I think I’m related to Governor Goodhair Perry.
I have a relative, Mark Hopkinson, who committed multiple murders - but I don’t think he’s going to show up any time soon, what with the execution and all.
News to us, and to the Las Vegas Cold Cases department, my first cousin’s former husband was just DNA’d as the guy that claw hammered a woman to death.
The scary thing is, we thing that is about the time he was around us. And no, we didn’t like him then.
If he or my father show up on my doorstep, guns will be blazing.
