    I'm a descendant of Stephen Hopkins, one of the non-pilgrim "Strangers" on the Mayflower. He was recruited to help govern the settlement. He signed the Mayflower Compact and was at one point in his life sentenced to death for attempting to start a mutiny.

      Bull****!

      The actor was English, and played him with an English accent, but the character was as French as my big swinging dick.

            The only way he was French was how he avoided conflict wherever possible.

                  I'm related to a victim of the Salem Witch Trials, so I can date my family to pretty early English colonialism.

                    Part Huguenot, part Scot, part Welsh and probably some other things on my dad's side; I read a few years back that an ancestor in the early 1600s was arrested or fined or something for selling booze to the natives on a Sunday. Don't know if it's true, but it's awesome if it is. Also, I'm Clan Stewart, which I think might make me vaguely related to the British royal family. Unfortunately, that's nothing to be proud of, and the clan has a billion branches anyway.

                    On my mom's side, I'm pure German AFAIK, of the nineteenth-century immigrant kind.

                            We Scots can smell our own. It's kind of hard to miss the smell of hard liquor.

                              Somehow, this just makes sense.



                              Irish/Scot though. And then come to Texas. Beat that one. Hoo-ah! Trifecta!
