I'm tall, stocky, bald and heavily tattooed...my mother was a DAR whose family came over on the Jamestown boats and I'm 3rd generation Irish on my fathers side....I'm probably more "Aryan" than 99% of those nazi wanna be f@ckers....I live to get them talking, because I grew up down south....lived here all my life....then I show them a picture of my very much black wife.....the expression is always priceless...I don't get much crap from them either....being a big, bald tattooed scarey looking Irish guy comes with some perks! I grew up around the east Texas area...I remember seeing a lot of those "boneheads" when we'd hang out with friends in Dallas....douchebags all....
