what country do you come from?

Good ol' NJ, lived here forever unfortunately. Home to...errrrrrrrr ummm...High crime rates, not being able to pump your own gas, and shit drivers. We do have taylor ham though! Great stuff, haha. I'd absolutely love to leave here some day though.

I come from Irish/Russian stock...woOt!

Houston, TX (like it says to the left). 4th generation Texan, but ancestry is English, Irish, Scottish, German, & Czech...just a mutt. :) In fact, I saw my double in the Czech movie Kolya. :) I may be Texan, but every time I visit my wife's home of Romania, it's becoming clearer that I'm European at heart.
 
I'm actually a bit bitter that even though I have a Dutch surname (Mattheiszen, try to order a magazine on the phone with that one, dammit), it still doesn't grant me with any of Bob's songwriting talent. I even bought Dutch citizenship from a Dutch dude at a festival three years ago. It cost me 100 euros and I didn't even get a receipt or any proof of the deal, and still no sign of the TGM magic. I'm starting to wonder if he ripped me off... Maybe I should try drinking a bit less.
 
100% portuguese, living in the capital Lisbon (for 13 years) but soon to roam back home in the Algarve @Lagos..........

Hahahahahaha, you just gotta do more yodeling, surely that's the secret of Bob's inspiration :lol:
 
Jesus im suprised by the amount of americans with irish decent for a small country we get around.

Yeah dude, it was the freakin' mass exodus from your country to the US at the turn of the 20th century; it's a staple of our history classes here (especially mine, I'm sure, growing up in NYC, the location of Ellis Island, the biggest immigration processing center on the East Coast). Ever seen "Gangs of New York?"
 
Mostly Spanish ... mother's maiden name is actually the name of a small town/village in northern spain near san sabastian I think ... I say "mostly" because we have no idea what the rest could be, only clue is that her grandfather had red hair and blue eyes ...

Other than that, born and lived 1st 5-6 years in Brooklyn, NY then moved to Philly area...

Home of the BEST FUCKIN CHEESESTEAKS you'll ever have ;)

Oh yeah, and Rocky
 
I ride a kangaroo to Uni while eating a vegimite sandwhich, and the water spins the 'wrong' way when i flush the toilet. Also i have 100% Scottish ancestry 'touch not the cat but a glove' is my Clan motto but i have no idea what it means.

Wow. Sorry dude, but that's really lame. My clan motto was, and I am in no way making this up: "Fight!"

Kinda freaked me out seeing that on the Coat of Arms at the grandparents as a young child. Nothing like sending mixed messages. "It's not nice to hit" and all that, then you see that proudly displayed....
 
Ok, got a question:

How can there be so many Irish in the US and the drinking age is restricted to 21?

Yea whats up with the the whole 21 thing i heard its pretty strict on id too whats wrong with 18 hell most 16 year olds binge drink here but the law is 18.
 
Born in england, then moved to New Zeland, then Australia, then the US, then back to England. I'm 16 so thats a lot of moving haha
