Crazy Relativescurvylittlegoth writes, "My Grandma is crazy, crazy mad. As well as regularly putting curses on us all, she once fell asleep in the armchair on a sunny afternoon, Barley Wine in one hand, Peter Stuyveson in the other, only to wake up several hours later to a Darth Vader sounding fireman. She thought she was in HELL as the smoke and flames billowed round her..."
Are any of your relatives this loopy?

none of my familyare entertainingly mad, just maddening.
but some of my friends have outstandingly stupid or weird relatives. sam the tamponqueen/canarykiller is a prime example. her dad was a great bloke but he was absolutely barking mad. dagenham mad more like, being several stops up from barking. he had moved up from london to manchester on the run from the mob in the 40's and he never paid for anything in his entire life.
we were in london once and we wandered past the savoy. sam said, we stayed there when i was little. yeah yeah, i replied, of course you did.
no, we really did, sam insisted. my dad couldn't pay the bill at the end and they called the police...
two minutes later, a red routemaster went past. my dad had one of those, sam said. he converted it into a fish and chip shop.
er, no he DIDN'T, i replied.
no, he really did, sam insisted. he only took it to one football match, then got bored. he put it in storage. then he didn't pay the bill so the garage sold it...
she also has a full leatherbound gold tooled set of encyclopaedias engraved "love from daddy" for which he never paid. their house was full of things that he had started and never finished, like random light switches all over the room (27 in her bedroom) for a gallery that he never opened, or the foundations for a conservatory that he never built.
RIP, you were a legend!
