Even among a group as weird as conlangers I have to be
odd.  I'm right-handed, celebate and haven't a drop of
Lithuanian blood that I know of.  I do have a goatee
which I'm concidering shaving off on Friday.

But why don't I have any Lithuanian blood?  I have
identified English, Scottish, Irish, French, Dutch,
Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, German and Frankish,
Saxon, Angle and Norman blood in the tree.  There are
unsubstantiated rumors of Cherokee and Chocktaw.  If I
keep digging long enough surely I'll uncover some
Lithuanian somewhere.  Of course by then I'll be
clean-shaven.
