What do Davey Crockett, W, Jonas Salk, Howdy Doody and TKC have in common?

I read a short news piece about the 5 year old, 10 x great grandson of Davey Crockett killing his first bear. I’m not a big advocate of the whole killing forest creatures thing. I’m also not on the opposite end of the spectrum . You wont find me posing nude for PETA, lucky you, or throwing buckets of baby seal blood on some upper crust matron wearing a mink coat. I’m somewhere in the middle. But this post isn’t about animal rights, so I’ve managed to wander off topic already.

The article in question had a quote from the father of this 5 year old about how Davey Crockett allegedly killed his first Bear at the tender age of 3. The father went on to say that this was probably bullshit, and Id tend to agree. Rifles back then were 5 or 6 ft long, so its hard to imagine that some toddler could heft one of these cumbersome guns, let alone manage to shoot anything, other than the idiot standing in close proximity after having put it in the kids hands.

But the whole story begs the question, at least for me, Do the descendants of famous people feel an obligation to follow in the footsteps of their famous relative? If so , how do you top some of the things they've done?

I’m far to busy (lazy)to be bothered with research and facts, so I will preface what follows with a disclaimer that none of this is even remotely accurate and contains as much truth as a three year old killing a bear.

The great grandson of Jonas Salk unable to come up with any vaccines settles for coming up with the idea of adding cherry flavor to chapstick.

The great great niece of Amelia Earhardt afraid of heights and unable to fly, makes the first trans Atlantic journey on a rascal scooter , on board a carnival cruise ship.

The 18th cousin of Napoleon Bonaparte becomes an 80's pop singing one hit wonder known as Adam Ant. This is only funny if you saw one of his early MTV videos where he dressed like Napoleon.

The love child of Howdy Doody and Sherri Lewis is adopted by a Texas Politician and becomes the 43rd President of the United States.

Oral Roberts comes down from his Oklahoma Tower long enough to bang Squeaky Fromme. The resulting demon spawn would one day become the D.A. for JoCo . After tolerating this insipid douche bag for a year, thousands of pro lifers agree that abortion can be a good thing.

Che Guevara, Don Rickles and Angela Davis share a night of sordid unprotected 3 way sex. The mixed seed results in the birth of a popular Kansas City Blogger. TKC will wage war against the cities Mayor, White people who own dogs, and espouse views on women that make Sean Connery look like Helen Gurley Brown.

Thats the best I can come up with at this early hour. Regular readers (both of you) feel free to add your own in the comments section.
