Almost famous

[Ishkabibble]

My wife is really big into Genealogy. She tells me that my great-great-great-grandfather's first cousin's brother-in-law's uncle was also related to a guy who knew someone who had lived on the same street with some lady who was descended from Harroled Godredson who was King of the Isle of Man in the 13th century. In other words, I'm not famous, and nobody else in my family is either.

I resemble that remark.

In the world today, that's probably enough to make you famous...

A relative on my mother's side of the family did some research many years ago and traced the Ratcliff line back to John Ratcliffe, captain of the Discovery and later, president of the Jamestown colony. 

My own personal brushes with fame were exceedingly minor: once published in the magic magazine, M-U-M, for an original effect; and I once made it into the Alaska state finals of the National Karaoke Signing Contest.  Didn't even come close to Vegas, baby.
