Butt Seriously, We're Related

Well, it's not exactly an episode of Lisa Kudrow's "Who Do You Think You Are?," but my recent reunion with my cousin Kevin has led me to some fun information. I still can't remember exactly how I'm (distantly) related to hot fireman Ryan Sutter from "The Bachelorette" -- the one who married Trista instead of being my kissing-thrice-removed cousin.

But last night -- with the help of Kevin and another cousin of ours, Christopher -- I found out Joe Lo Truglio, of "Superbad" and "Reno 911" (final season) fame is my second cousin. Joe's grandmother Mary Walsh is my grandfather Mickey Walsh's sister, but just knowing he played "Butt-crack Man" in "Gulliver's Travels" was proof enough for me. (Oh, and for my newest anonymous commenter: This has no actual relevance other than the fact that I thought it was fun. The site's called KENNETH in the 212, bitch.)

What's your wacky celebrity relation?

Billy Joe Shaver. You know, the country singer/songwriter who was acquitted last year of shooting a dude outside a bar near Waco on a "needed-shootin'" defense.

No relation but its gives me the shits and giggles...

I do lines with Dyanarra Torres in the Phils as she was into my cousin ....way before Mark Anthony.

So because of it...I'm only one step from J.Lo... cheap claim to fame... hehehehe

Wacky? I'm not sure it's wacky.

My father's cousin was Linda McCarntey's mother. Linda McCartney from Wings....oh, and Paul's wife.

That would have made me something x times removed, I think.

I never met her.
