funny you mentions all that nilms, turns out i'm irish! i always figured we were german. my mom's fam is all german. i figured my dad's latter-day hibernomania was total crap; we have an irish name but none of the other trappings. but i quizzed him, and dad's dad moved to the midwest from bklyn during ww2 and thank christ dropped his catholicism to get married. just think, i could have a whole other set of psychic fetters. that's my fackin story.

your thread, should it exist, must include these peeps:

My purely german-american grandmother had three sisters. Their father strictly forbade all of them to consort with irishmen. Of the four, three of them married irishmen and the fourth become a nun. I guess they didn't identify well with the german side of the family, either.

four months pass...

Welles lavished praise on actors he admired such as Joseph Cotten, his co-star in The Third Man ("brilliant") and John Wayne ("some of the best manners of almost any actor I've ever met in Hollywood"). But at others he hurled insults. At one point another titan of acting, Richard Burton, approached him in the restaurant, saying: "Elizabeth [Taylor] is with me. She so much wants to meet you. Can I bring her over?" Welles replied: "No. As you can see, I'm in the middle of my lunch."

When you're a conspicuous genius and aging enfant terrible there were certain conventions which must be upheld and rudeness to Richard Burton was one.
