    Yeah, I sort of got spooked by having my Dad there for everyone to see...
    I was having issues.

    What's Drj's Dad? PASTEL.

    You know what? I don't think my dad's ever been on the internet before. He passed from the flesh of this realm in 1987.

    I liked seeing your dad. He looked a bit like a wizard. Or a whaler.

    I think UHX's new slogan should be FLAUNT YOUR ISSUES. Or at least, FLAUNT YOUR DAD. Iactabit patrem vestrum

    My dad got painted in a James Dean pose by an art student when he was maybe 17. Good goin' dad!

    My dad has gotten drunk with Harry Dean Stanton

    My dad was at the grocery store in Sisters, OR a few years back and John. C. Reilly got in line behind him at the check-out. I don't remember now if my dad said something to him or just obviously recognized him, but John C. Reilly told my dad, "If you tell me my name, I'll buy your groceries." My dad froze! Couldn't do it. He was so mortified.

    I think we should just go and post pictures of our dads. We could have a 'no talking' rule.

    My dad's great but not on the internet!

    My dad is a welder and uses AOL. He collects trailers (mostly Airstreams).
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    AOL!!!!!

    so by wanting to buy our trailer you were seeking to engage with your birthright!

    My dad was a State Trooper. Which made High School shenanigans a lot more risky.

    YT -- I love the idea of mobile living. I also just checked out this great shuttle van that has been converted into a lovely home. It had some issues that I didn't want to take on; however, if anyone is looking for something like that, this is a great option! (Fun fact: it came from Vancouver, WA and used to be a shuttle van for an assisted living!)

    Still got that part basically right down the middle, then brushed back on both sides.

    I'm very into mobile living spaces as well. RVs, camper/pickup comobs, retrofitted Ford Econovans, for some reason I find them all really cool to look at and think about, but I don't think I would ever make one my primary home.

    My Dad invented Coca-Cola and uses AOL.

    my dad watches stock market tv all day while poking at his netbook
    sometimes he plays jazz guitar or electric piano keyboards or saxophone or 6 string bass or flute whatnot
    he also tamed a family of blue jays to eat from his hands

    My dad was a dog-loving mathematician, I feel good about that!

    sweet pup, sweet dad

    My dad is an Antarctic explorer and a Lefty news junkie. Many a HuffPo article is forwarded to me each week. Any given conversation eventually leads to, "can you BELIEVE these Republicans? I mean, they are just IDIOTS!" My dad comes to my class each year and talks to my students about polar life. He switches from coffee to beer at around 2:30 every day.
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    my dad once emailed me saying "can you email these people for me? I can't get on email right now"
  • MirandaJulyMirandaJuly
    I can respect a 2:30 beer drinker.

    My dad is the opposite of yours, Wanda, when it comes to news sources, calling people idiots and sending me articles. My sister and I have discussion after discussion about how to get him to stop doing this, but nothing has succeeded so far.

    My dad is a total jokester. To the point that he is weird. He jokes with everyone and doesn't really take into account other people's reactions to his jokes, but instead laughs mightily at them before he can even get them out of his mouth. He also has a pair of "billy bob" teeth, and puts these in his mouth and goes into the bathroom to look at himself in the mirror, then about dies laughing. Over and over again. I can't even believe my dad.

    My dad gave me a 1/2gm of coke for my 16th birthday.

    His words were, "I don't know if I should be doing this...."

    The first time I introduced Big Mac to my parents, I remember walking up to their door in Salem and telling Big Mac, "Just so you know, there's a really good chance my dad is going to answer the door wearing his Billy Bob teeth." Lo and behold...! Can you imagine!? Being the new BF and meeting the parents and everything and then having to figure out how to react to this man who is weirdly wearing Billy Bob teeth and just sort of standing there, smiling at you?
