That isn't my uncle in the photo. That's his brother, Joe.

Not if he's the brother of the man who married my mother's sister, right?

Do people use such terms? Joe is a lot easier. Good guy (although he has a few eccentric political views--as do most of the people who frequent my uncle's bar. Whatever you do, don't mention the words "one world government" in his company. You will regret it.).

Post by: B_Buster on February 25, 2010, 09:41:34 PM: I thought your great aunt or great uncle was your grandparent's sister or brother (or their spouses).

Post by: Martin on February 26, 2010, 06:40:20 AM: I call the people who marry my biological uncles and aunts, aunts and uncles. It's inclusive and simple.

Post by: B_Buster on February 26, 2010, 02:55:13 PM: I can't believe it! Joe must have mixed me up with the renowned Mike from the local cable television show, Mike and The Coach! I will definitely have to sort this out with him.

Also, the unicyclist on the right looks like a young Tommy Lee Jones.

Thanks for posting, PS.

Post by: Pastor Josh on February 26, 2010, 03:07:47 PM: I'm confused. No one was wearing a purple shirt. Are you sure these were the right unicyclists?
