   Vincent Van Gogh has a very interesting Family Tree.
   
   Here's the ones I know about.
   
   His dizzy aunt - Verti Gogh
   The brother who worked at a convenience store - Stop N Gogh
   The grandfather from Yugoslavia -  U Gogh
   His magician uncle - Where-diddy Gogh
   His Mexican cousin - A Mee Gogh
   The Mexican cousin's American half-brother - Gring Gogh
   And his niece who travels the country in an RV - Winnie Bay Gogh
   
   Do you know any more to add to the list?
   
   Time for me to Gogh.

    Wow Mark,
    Thanks for that very authoritative link, although I think that I may have to flag your post as being self promotional.
    
    Because at around 14 seconds, it mentions
    "Pompous, artificial, inflated, pretentious A***holes.

       He sure can! That is only the second person I have heard pronounce it. The other was a Dutch Australian painter friend. I still can't get my throat to cooperate well enough to say it!

          I lived in Holland for 8 years, so not a problem for me. this is the hardest w9rd in the Dutch language - and was a useful test during WWII to catch German spies - "scheveningen". The "sch" requires the throat sound with an "s" in front and the en is pronounced soft "a".

             I wish I had lived in Holland! I would be useless as a spy then! My dutch friends make sounds our lyre birds have trouble duplicating!
