Mr_Ant @Mr_Ant (117) • United States 27 Jan 07

InconvenientFacts I'm still pretty sure there was a mix-up in my case... My REAL last name is either Tump, Windsor, Gates, Thompson, Astor, or a couple of others... I used to think it was Black until the lawsuits... er, I mean, until I could rule out Conrad as my dad.
