Relatives: Can't drop them off a bridge, can't leave them in the desert
>> 05 June 2010
I have to go to Reno today! Le sigh! Look if you are from Reno, you might want to stop reading now.
We have to go to a baby shower.. The cutest little Aryan Nation babies you've ever met.
Does everyone have relatives like this? A crazy aunt Ginny you have to keep away from the sherry? Uncle Claude who won't keep his hands off women's butts? Any woman. A whole contingent of in-laws who think it's the height of class to make an endless supply of racist Obama jokes despite the fact we currently live in the 21st century?
Look they are delightful people in their redneck, no teeth- truck driving glory. No, I'm being serious they really are. Kind, warm-hearted, caring. But OH MY LORD.
6 hours of Hell including at least 7 people telling me the same joke..."Reno: So close to hell you can see Sparks coming off it."
Various racist/prejudiced/anti-gay comments.
I have to go now...*weeping copiously*

are we related? no, wait..I'm in Texas...
First I thought nobody's family was as crazy as mine. Then my friends all told me that everyone's family was crazy...until I started telling them stories about mine. Some are definitely wierder than others.
Good luck. Sorry about your family. But, look at it this way. If we, your readers are lucky, you will have pictures and a fun blog telling us all about it. Can't wait.
Slip a ruffie in their drinks, put them in their pick ups and drop them off in front of the nearest gay bar you can find!
So they wont have so much fun? You'll have lol's to last a life time.
Good luck. I have relatives like this too. Sadly.
Following you from Robyn's blog roll. Oh boy do I have annoying family... don't we all? My entire family are strict Republican Catholics--total opposite of me. My father-in-law is so hated by me that I refuse to change my last name as not to be linked to him. I know that's taking insanity to a whole new level, but just go with me on this one. Love my husband, don't want to be part of that nonsense :( I told him we should both come up with a brand new last name and change it to that. He didn't go for it.

Holy crap! You have a perving uncle called Claude? I HAVE A PERVING UNCLE CALLED CLAUDE! You are either my sister from another mother or... all Claude's are pervs... or, OH-MY-GOD wait, my uncle Claude has a 2nd wife and family and lives in Reno. THAT'S IT! That explains why he sometimes disappears for various periods of time, and all this time I thought it was because he had tedious bowel movements...
Crying laughing. Sometimes I get so fed up of the extreme left I'm surrounded by in SF...until I go home to farm country.
Wow... my grandfather lives in Sparks and I have NEVER heard that joke. That whole state is pretty much the seventh circle of hell.
