    That probably makes large family reunions a bit tense.

    TW - you know Rubber Duckie in German?!? That would rock!

    Don't try to pull any crap on Magnus... if you know what's good for you.

      I don't know if any of the German side of the family would show up, but we don't have family reunions anyway. We really don't have much contact with that particular line of the family, American or German.

        I find there's always one branch of the family tree that kind of goes off on its own. Usually for the better. Or maybe that's just with my family.

          It'd probably get rather large and unwieldly otherwise. Branches pruning themselves right off of the family tree.

            Ah, you're not alone. My father's side of the family is dead to us. I haven't seen them in years. After what they did, I don't want to. If there was a reunion, it'd get uglier than listening to Carol Channing reading a copy of Mein Kampf out loud for two weeks straight.

                I had the weirdest moment of deja vu as I read that. Have you mentioned something about this before?

                  About my family or Carol Channing reading Mein Kampf? I don't think I've ever mentioned either. However, I have a piss poor memory, so it's possible.

                    Both. I felt like I had remembered someone stating something about his/her family, and then talking about Carol Channing reading Mein Kampf. It didn't seem like the normal "I've experienced this moment before" deja vu. It was more like I simply remembered a similar (though not exactly the same) event.

                      I don't know what to tell you. I don't pretend to understand what goes on in your twisted replicator mind.

                      I just realized you have a Fifth avatar. Creepy.

                        Maybe it was a precognition thing. Where you think or dream something and then it happens later. I've done that before. It's kinda jarring.

                          I know not what it was.

                          Vee, half the time *I* don't know what's going on in my mind.

                          I've always had the Fifth avatar, I think it somewhat bears a resemblence to my actual face. Note that I also have poor eyesight.

                            I got rubberducky as an attachment from a friend, and played it, discovering (my friend not knowing this) that the song was a techno-version done in german. I still have it and listen to it.
