Growing up my dad bought us a dog he named Kitty, a cat named Puppy, and a parrot named Jeff. He taught Jeff how to say Puppy and Kitty's names, which would cause Kitty to freak out and bark constantly. Dad found it hilarious.

We would go out for pizza on Fridays growing up. My dad would always pick up his straw, tear off one end of the wrapper, twist the other end, and blow the wrapper at one of us. A wrapper-blowing flurry would ensue. One time I recall we were at Pizza Hut. An older couple was siting nearby. My dad shot his straw wrapper and it went clear across the way and stuck in the older woman's white hair. We all sat silently staring, and then burst out laughing. Pretty sure she had no idea and it stayed in her hair while we ate. He would also usually have a Swiss army knife with him. When we would be out somewhere eating and our drink cups had lids, he'd wait until someone was distracted or went to the bathroom. Then he'd take their straw, snip it down to about 2" long, and put it back in the cup lid. When you'd try to drink you'd get only air. He also serially stole and hid forks. And would carefully put those old wooden clothespins on your back, hanging off a loose jacket. I went to school more than once with a fucking clothespin hanging off me. Random hilarious fun. I love my dad. Side-note, today he and my mom celebrate 37 years together.

Seriously! I saw one break the skin on a little girl's hand the other day at the park. She had been trying to feed it. She wailed as her mom hurried her off to the car, ostensibly to disinfect the goose gash. I told my (1-year-old) son "that's why we hate geese."

Thank you! Definitely the wine fests; my brother lives in Loveland too and will have the beer lowdown. I've got my fingers crossed on prop 64, which could lead to other wonderful festivals...(one can dream?)

Today my girlfriend told me that she would never have kids with a guy with tattoos because she doesn't want her kids born with the tattoos of the father, as if they were passed genetically.

IDK - my 83-year-old grandma has an iPad and facetimes with her grandkids and great-grandkids. She would have been a candidate to 'not get' technology if you asked me 15 years ago, but she really rocked it!

My old boss used to think that using remote desktop could cause certain glitches in the file processing we did; I tried to explain to him that it was essentially like using long chopsticks – I was farther away, but it was just another window. He was always suspicious when a file had a problem that it might have been because I was remoting in. FUCK.

Wow; I bet Reddit would be interested in an AMA from someone who grew up in Siberia...

How many of you came out to the grandparents / family after you had a child? by bjittyin atheistparents

Out of curiosity is your spouse also atheist? Will she come / is she out to her parents?

Nope, my folks have known for years. They always supported me 100% in my atheism and so there's no question of my son being raised sans cult.

Will Smith Invested $1.2 Mil Into School with Scientology Ties in 2010 by sanfrantexanin entertainment

It's ok to be appalled at fucking idiots. I feel the same way about any religious school. Indoctrination / brainwashing is a terrible thing to do to a child.
