The "WTF?! Friday" Offensive

18 Apr

Hey fellow offenders, it’s Friday again and time to play WTF?! Friday! Whoever plays along wins a special prize on Monday and whoever doesn’t will be hearing from my team of lawyers because I will be irrevocably damaged emotionally and dammit, I will make you compensate me for it!!

:)


WTF?! is with my family tree?!!

(Yes, that IS me, circa age 11!)

So… sometime during the year when I was at the highly impressionable age of 11, my uncle on my Mom’s side finished up years of work he had put in to researching our family genealogy.

When he sent our family the copy of the book he had compiled, I was shocked and a bit traumatized to find out that in my veins coursed the blood of an infamous crazy person!!

So… this should be easy…

W(ho)TF?! do you suppose it is that I am directly related to??

Was it:

1) Rebecca Nurse ~ Crazy old lady hung for witchcraft in Salem Village, MA:

2) Geronimo ~ Crazy Native American warrior:

3) Vlad the Impaler ~ Crazy Romanian who inspired the story of Dracula:

Good luck!!

I wonder WTF?! is in their family trees over at humor-blogs.com

  • Im going to guess :


    2) Geronimo ~ Crazy Native American warrior:


  • VE
    I was thinking Liberace but I didn't see his picture so I'll go with Geranimo...
  • "Vlad the Impaler" is also the name of my penis.

    Coincidence?

    Yeah...probably.



  • Cat
    I think Vlad and I don't even really know you well yet. :D
  • I gotta go with Vlad to you vampire!
  • "Boom-Boom, ain't it great to be crazy?! Boom-Boom, ain't it great to be crazy?! Silly and foolish all day long - Boom-Boom, ain't it great to be crazy?!"

    Have you ever heard that little jingle before? I think it was taught to me in kindergarten (WTF?! Bright teachers?) Anyway, it popped into my head when reading this blog...scary.

    Personally, I'm offended by the term "crazy" LOL (not really)

    I oftentimes choose to use one of the following in substitute:

    Ahem...

    looney, wacko, not-all-there, lost marbles, deranged, cuckoo, etc. Take your pick.

    My vote is on Geronimo!











  • Bee
    Geronimo. He seems pretty offensive to me. ;op
  • Geronimo. I think you would make a wonderful crazy chieftain, tomahawk at your side. men's scalps dangling from your loin bikini.
  • My guess is
    2) Geronimo ~ Crazy Native American warrior

    I don't know you but it feels like a fit nonetheless.


  • Pretty damn obvious...Geronimo...you're the spitting image.

    Oxy Moran

  • My guess is Vlad the Impaler.

    This would explain those hickies I wasn't supposed to tell anyone about.

  • Ok. Let me check the options again...

    We have Vlad the impaler... That would be a pretty good guess, considering the nature of the the offender. Hell, I'm sure that most of the impaled ones were quite offended by the gesture... But then again, that would make you have a Russian descent. I think I'll cunningly pass this option.

    Then of course, we have Rebecca nurse. Many people would readily call Chelle a witch (but not me, her #1 fan, of course). It is undeniable that she works magic. And it is not a far cry to imagine her wearing a pointy black hat down in the basement boiling bat's wings in rat mucus, trying to concoct a perfect blend of offending goo...

    But bewitching as you may be, you would never allow yourself to be caught in the snares of witchcraft accusations. So cross out this option too.

    Then we have what's left behind door number 3, Geronimo.

    But of course!! Geronimo was a crazed gun-wielding, bullet-biting cross-sneering, revenge-seeking Native American who went about offending a whole host of people. He was a potential menace to people in his path everywhere. If he had the option of blogging back then, he would have gladly sat back and offended people in the comfort of his own home, not that he had one during his renegade years...

    So, yes, Offended one... I pick Geronimo. In fact, I am SURE of it....

    Geronimooooooo.....













  • Geronimo...'cuz he looks HOT!!!
  • I'm actually going to say all three, I mean I dont want to cast dispersions about the character of your family... but I can see elements of each of those characters in you.
  • I'm thinkin Vlad the Impaler cause you like stickin it to the man.
  • What up Chelle?

    Definetly the nutso chick who was option A. I don't think their are many of Geronimo's line around anymore, and you don't strike me as Hungarian (or Transylvanian, or whatever the farq Vlad was).

    It's the crazy witch chick. I suspect back in those days we'd all be hung for our present-day antics. :)



  • Whoever the ancestor offender was, I'm guessing you got the rogue gene.
    You're not into impaling, are you?
  • Oh yea... The Vlad picture.. you do know that is NOT how they were impaled, right? A true depiction would be far more 'offensive' to some. :)
  • I already knew the answer so I won't answer.

    Lawrence is wonderful in supporting acting roles.

  • I like the look of Vlad - from his picture it looks like he knew how to throw a good barbeque.

    Gotta love those skewered meat kebabs!

  • Definitely Vlad. What the the whole domination thing and all.
    I'm not sure Vlad was bent on world domination, but I'm guessing by his tendency to knock off people that he was trying to dominate something..
  • Meg
    I'm guessing the nurse. Remember back then there wasn't much they could do about PMS.
  • If it was vlad, you can su.....

    Uh, never mind ;)

  • Based on your "unleashed" humor - it is Vlad 0 you ae related to Vlad!

    Benny

  • I'm opting for the crazy nurse myself.
  • Good question! I will guess Geronimo.
  • I believe it was choice number 1, Rebecca Nurse.

    But also I think she was not crazy, but just misunderstood, what with the attention-seeking mass hysteria of those teens at Salem.

    See, if there had been "Salem Idol" back then, then these girls would have been up on the stockades singing their hearts out instead of stoning old women to death and claiming they soured the milk and put jinxes on the cows.

    And they would've gotten their comeuppance, too, when Ye Olde Simon Cowell told them their singing "did reeketh the stench of yon privvy."





  • After becoming familiar with your work, my first guess would have been George Busch, 'cause he don't care who he offends either.

    But multiple choice, I say Geronimo. He havem many squaw. Many moons with many squaw in teepee, means more little Hiawathas.

    I don't think Rebecca and Vlad ever got laid.



  • Hey! I find that patently offensive! It's not nice to use the term "crazy" anymore. Why not change it to "sanity-challenged" and make some people smile?

    My vote is for Vlad the Impaler. Because he is just cooler than shit, at least by today's pop culture standard. If you had that sanity-challenged gentleman's blood coursing through your veins, well, you're practically immortal already.

    Just stumbled upon your blog and me likee! I usually inadvertently offend people, so I feel right at home.



  • I dumped Disqus comments, too many readers weren't able to use it.
