Poor Whites

[Hermit]

I'm white, I'm poor, and the first to call me trash gets a foot in the junk

No, Svarty, of course you are not trash. Definitely not yet. But don't let anyone stop you from at least aspiring to climb up the social pyramid to get there.

[Svartalf]

All Graf Bobo von Schotten zu Hohenzollern-Wiesenburg as you may be, remember I can trace my own genealogy to Louis XIV and that I'm related to half of Brittany's major families... If I'm going on the side of a pyramid, it's down, not up.

O dear. In that case you have a lot more of an uphill struggle than I thought.

[Svartalf]

Well, at least I haven't managed to trace much consanguinity in my family tree after the XVIIIth century... I'd like to be sure you can claim as much

[Brian Peacock]

I'm from a long line of shit eaters.

With the possible exceptions of Burkhardt and Hildegard von Schotten zu Hohenzollern-Wiesenburg und Wallnussbaum we have always tended to enjoy the company of each other in any way at all as long as it involved mutual consent. Unlike the Houses of Hanover, Habsburg, d'Armagnac and other families laughingly referred to as of "high breeding" we managed to avoid both intrafamiliar offspring and marriage.

Tell me about your beard again. Is your insistence on sporting one really and definitely totally unconnected with any intent to hide your mandibular prognathism?

[Svartalf]

I m not prognathous, the bourbons have big noses, which I did not really inherit, we don't have the Habsburg jaw.
