Is your name really Bob......or Sally?

**Rick** · 07-12-2015, 03:57 PM

No. Can't say that I have.

**Wise Old Owl** · 07-12-2015, 06:13 PM

Dumbfounded.... met a few on the internet - no worries. Got the ignore button for that.

Serious I can deal with crazy, None in my family, everyone is well rounded until proven otherwise.... I think the hardest to understand or relate to is the Peta crowd, I can hold a conversation with the best of them. There is another group but that would take a paragraph... and it would be droll.

Have a SIL for that stuff.....and she gets it first....so I don't need to read it on the interweb....Old news.
I just nod and smile...then tell her I need to go turn the compost pile....Works every time.

Yep, I 'm the crazy Uncle. Stern warnings are issued to everyone before I arrive.

Don't mention anything you saw on the History Channel, just don't get him started.

Don't bring up gun control, he'll start with the statistics.

Do not mention concealed carry permits, he will insist on taking everyone to the range to shoot whatever he is carrying.

Don't bring up Supreme Court decisions, just don't.

Don't bring up interference of government in religion, he'll quote the whole Constitution at you.

Don't mention the local Liberal candidates, again, he'll quote the whole Constitution at you.

Never, never, ever under any circumstances say the words OBAMA or Clinton!! He'll start talking about Hitler, Stalin, Meo, the Dictatorship of the Proletariat and Atilla the Hun.

Yep, I 'm your crazy, ultra right wing, conservative, libertarian anarchist Uncle.

What makes you think everyone does not think YOU are too.

That would make a great signature......if'n it wasn't so long winded

**nell67** · 07-14-2015, 05:46 PM

Not myself, but my oldest sister is that crazy aunt Sally person.
SHe posts on a site called Ghostchild.org about the government stealing her husbands family property by forging loan documents for more than the farm loans her husband took out real truth: pay your debts and you wont lose you family home.
She also tried, unsuccessfully I might add to have the property declared an ancient indian burial site and as such the government could not touch the land and it must be immediately restored to her family truth: she DID get the designation to the farm done, however they had taken out the loan, spent the money and never repaid it, so they lost it.
Oh, and she also claims that as members of the seven original tribes (huh?) that the government, in the form of the illuminati, have us in their sites for termination....

Just the tip of the ice berg, I don't hang around that girl, ain't no vaccine against that kind of crazy.

Hey! I resemble that comment!

At my nephew's wedding a month or so ago in a Texas Southern Baptist Church (First Baptist, small town) some older friend of theirs asked who the Rabbi was (long beard). I was like WHAT!?! I don't have Payot! (side-locks or sidecurls) which many Jewish people with beards actually don't have those either, but I am highly opinionated on everything just for the heck of it. Life would be boring if I was not.

Will take whatever point others choose not to take just to not sit there passively and be bored. My sister had me pick up Hors-d'oeuvres from a Brazilian caterer who lives near me so I was busy making sure the trays were full and telling everyone what each item was, or just making up stuff about it (tastes like Chicken is iguana, not really). So no time to talk politics, religion and all topics taboo. ha ha ha. Now what firearm is appropriate for newly weds?

I haven't heard any talk so, I dunno, but I seem to have gotten away with it.

**finallyME** · 07-15-2015, 09:45 AM

Everyone in my family is crazy. Makes for interesting get togethers.

Las Vegas has so many fun places...

There is a gun range near me that rents an full auto HK416 with 100 rounds for $80. Any kid who wants to marry one of my daughters would need to show that he can shoot that with reasonable accuracy but a simple wedding at a gun range or skeet range would be OK. But definitely not with my wife. We had ours in a huge church (seated 3000+) that was mostly empty, still way too many guests, cost way too much of my money. I am not crazy but can sure act like it.

TSA large black guy at LaGuardia Airport frisked me after metal detector went off (they said not to take off my belt and buckle). I told him this is more fun then I have had since my wedding night, he cut the frisk search short. Was creeped out. ha ha ha. They selected us for a minimal search line that only had tiny dog bowls to put your stuff in not large trays, and did not want us to take off shoes. Whatever, act like you enjoy some stranger feeling your legs and they stop...
