yeah, my granpa was pretty tall and lanky. classic for his tribe. but the irish has a way of diluting even the strongest bloodlines really freaking fast. which is funny, because his wife was a petite irish ginger with blue eyes. the kids came out tall, redheaded, blue eyed and gorgeous. go figure. except for my dad. i'm very sad to say that i look very much like my dad. right down to the moustache.
