My cousin once removed is a fairly well-respected novelist of romances, both in-series and on her own.

My second cousin once removed wrote a Notable nonfiction book. This is, in fact, the only reason that I know what "removed" means.

My cousin once won a major beauty contest.

And that's how I ended up in the wardrobe. It Just Bugs Me!

@OP: That's cool. I've been to Burlington, it's a beautiful town.

I'm very distantly related to Frank Lampard, the soccer player.

Distant relatives? Robert Englund. Don't remember how closely related.

My cousin is an insanely smart Badass Bookworm who is kicking ass in college. Not a day goes by without my parents comparing him to me. Despite the fact that I live in Texas and he lives in California, so we barely see each other anyway.

My cousins... are to the best of my knowledge still alive. They should be in high school about now.

My aunt's husband's brother is David Shore, creator and initial writer of House. It would have been cooler if he was actually a blood relative, and if I had met him more than just once, which happened to be the summer before House launched.

My last name is on a library at a college, but it's not one I want to go to.

The business school at the University of Vermont is named after my great-uncle.

He founded the chain of Linens N' Things stores, then got rich by selling them.

And his son, my cousin, is a crazy architect who builds things with shipping containers.

My grandpa knew the Admiral of the US navy.

He got a call at the cottage once, and because our island had a phone and the admiral didn't, he would get calls for his friend.

"Hello" "Hi, this is for (admiral's name)." "Who's on the line?" "The vice president."

My grandpa wanted to say "The vice president of what?"... but that isn't something that should be said.
