My great grandmother was from the Abenaki tribe of the Algonquin nation from Quebec. The Algonquin Nation includes several tribes from different areas of North America. My mother’s family always played down our First Nation heritage. I guess that they were ashamed of having “Indian” blood in our family. I am as proud of that heritage as I am of my Celtic heritage which we will be celebrating on St Patrick’s Day next week. Sadly, I have no way to celebrate that portion of my heritage as records have been lost, though it has been confirmed by blood tests of two of my siblings……

No, the people there were funny.

Somehow, that dinner doesn’t look like the Algonquin Hotel.

More like the Motel 6 Square Table.

“I read somewhere…”
Translation: “I just made this up, but want you to think I’m quoting somebody who actually knows something.”
Alternate translation: “[citation needed]”

Dorothy Parker used to sit at the Algonquin round table, if I remember correctly.

I used to live in Algonquin. -— Oh, that town in Illinois is not what we’re talking about, is it.

One would surmise from his look he isn’t the smart one.

I hope Dorothy Parker climbs out of her grave and gives Crankshaft a vicious pan.
