Post about your dad.

Crazy Ivan · 07-25-2008, 03:18 AM

My dad was on the swim team in high school. One of the guys once said that if my dad were to race a dolphin, he’d bet on my dad. That guy later hanged himself.

Crazy Ivan · 07-25-2008, 03:19 AM

My dad once punched a guy in the face in our kitchen. The guy had installed some blinds in the window and was trying to tack on some b.s. surcharge that would double the cost of the installation, so my dad just punched him and the guy left. One night I heard my dad crying in the living room, so I asked him what was wrong. He said, “I totally overreacted to that situation.”

Crazy Ivan · 07-25-2008, 03:20 AM

After my mom left him, my Dad decided to take me and my brother on a trip to the mountains. We were in his car listening to the Beatles, and my dad didn’t say anything for a long time. Then suddenly he pulled hard on the wheel, swerving off the highway, down an embankment, and around to the other side of the freeway. He started driving back towards the city, but my brother and I were too scared to say anything. Eventually he turned around again and we went to the mountains, and actually had a pretty fun trip.

Crazy Ivan · 07-25-2008, 03:21 AM

Once, when I was nine, my dad caught me reading his playboy magazines in his bathroom. I expected him to get mad, but instead he very nicely took it away and told me I wasn’t allowed to read stuff like that until I’m older. “How old do I have to be,” I asked, desperate to see more naked women. He looked around nervously, not expecting this question. “Uh…13. You have to be thirteen, son.” When I turned 13 I was upset for about a week that I did not receive a subscription to playboy magazine from my father.

Damage Jackal · 07-25-2008, 03:22 AM

My dad has paranoid schizophrenia and I never see him.

Crazy Ivan · 07-25-2008, 03:23 AM

Once my mom was flirting with my dad and made a comment relating to his penis being long enough to go around a basketball. I don't remember the actual comment, I just remember being convinced for a very long time that my dad's dick could wrap around a basketball. Puberty really sucked.

-my dad is the only one of his brothers and sisters that isn't dirt poor and/or an alcoholic

-my dad is the one who sews stuff when needed, not my mom. He learned to sew in the Marines.

-one summer my dad made me take a week of golf lessons to see if I'd like it. I didn't.

-once when my dad was a little kid, his dad whipped his bare ass with a belt in front of his classmates

-my dad has been shaving his head ever since he started going bald

-he is afraid of snakes and loved Snakes on a Plane

i haven't seen that but i'd hope so

Dave Miles · 07-26-2008, 05:29 PM

My dad was a cop for 20 years. I only found out fairly recently that he was forced to retire because he looked into my moms boyfriends police record, and found out that he had done some pretty horrible shit. He warned my mom about it and she got really upset and tried to get him fired.

He's a pretty emotional guy, i've seen him cry quite a few times.

He's obsessed with jogging/running.

Gets a lot of fairly attactive women, even though he's not particularly handsome or anything.

I am jealous of how well my dad can tell a story. I try and retell his stories sometimes and fail.

Melrose Let Down · 07-26-2008, 06:15 PM

My Dad flew from San Diego to Colorado to hang out with a Woman he met on E-harmony. He took her to the swap meet. Things didn't work out.

Anthropophagus · 07-25-2008, 03:53 AM

Neither have I. The concept sounds bad ass. Sorta. In the vein of Jean Claude Van Damme movies.

McJuicy · 07-25-2008, 04:08 AM

-my dad was 1 of thirteen kids in a farm family his job on the farm was to milk to cows and peel potatoes. They also prayed the rosary.
-my dad made me and my sis go to church every sunday foir a very long time. I thought it was just something everybody had to do. it wasnt to bad, we got candy after, and I liked spending time with my dad.
-my dad would get me up for hockey for 6:30 practices when I was little. Looking back I cant belive what a pain in the ass that would be, I was a goalie and my dad would shoot pucks at me the entire time.
- I have never seen my dad drunk although he does like to drink beer.
-When I was a teenager he would catch me smoking hash oil and I felt really bad about that cause I could see how dissapointed he was in me.

Writing these thigns down makes me wanna go hug my dad.

Rabid Dinosaur · 07-25-2008, 04:14 AM

My dad has four sisters and two brothers.

My dad used to bomb toilets at school. I dunno. I remember him telling this story a really long time ago. Maybe I just made it up. Hope not, though. I'll ask him.

My dad failed gym class once because someone kept stealing his shorts.

My dad is the only one of his parents' three male children to have never been a bodybuilder. He's still pretty strong, though.

My dad almost never calls me by my real name. I don't know why.

My dad is really smart and (as I previously mentioned) fairly strong. For a really long time I figured everyone's dad was like this, and it still kind of surprises me when people say their dad isn't good at math, or that their dad can't beat them in an arm-wrestling match.

My dad has a perfect understanding of politics and economics, but he never discusses them because he's a reasonable person.

My dad does not talk about religion. I'm almost 100% sure he doesn't believe in God, though I don't think I could ever ask him for some reason.

I have never seen my dad drunk. I have never heard him swear or cry. Also, he's pretty witty when he wants to be.

Lord Blazer · 07-25-2008, 04:20 AM

My dad was a real tough guy in high school. He grew a full beard his sophomore year and beat up half the basketball team because "(he) didn't take any shit from no niggers"

My dad once punched a guy out of his shoes at a bar

My dad made around $1200 a week before being put on disability and ultimately laid off as Bethlehem Steel went out of business

My dad looks like the following three people all rolled into one:

My dad has a bunch of medical problems but won't see a doctor because he's got some serious tinfoil hat issues.

My dad is agnostic, I guess. At the very least, indecisive.

Scarecrow · 07-25-2008, 04:32 AM

According to his sisters, my dad was conceived the night after his parents had a huge fight.

My dad doesn't know how to function alone. He went from being babied by his mom and aunt to being married. It was really hard on him when he was by himself after he and my mom divorced. He remarried to someone else rather quickly.

My dad, brother, and I love Star Trek.

My dad could never and probably still can't beat me in an argument.

My dad is a generally upbeat guy but tends let things build up and tends to release his anger towards things totally unrelated to what caused it.

My dad took it rather personally when I decided to live with my mom full time after I turned 18. It was a purely practical decision for me. My friends, job, and school were all way too far away from his house. He was really upset, but we're on really good terms now, though.

HMC · 07-25-2008, 04:48 AM

My dad is one of ten kids. (five sisters, four brothers)

He's pretty much the only balding one in his family.

He's fairly religious.

He's been divorced three times.

He has five kids.

He owns a lot of guitars. He had like twenty or so about a year ago, but he's sold a few since then. (He's not particularly good at playing it)

He has two Led Zeppelin posters. One of them he hung in the dining room for years until just recently.

He's kinda squeamish and has trouble watching anything bloody in movies or TV shows.

Pizza The Hut · 07-25-2008, 04:29 AM

My dad actually voiced in 7 3dmm movies. BEAT THAT.

McJuicy · 07-25-2008, 04:33 AM

My dad built my entire house himself in about 7 years.
My dad calls me Ryle

Compcat · 07-25-2008, 04:38 AM

My dad has been bald since he was like in his twenties.

My dad used to collect sport cards and used to have enough boxes to fill up half a room, although he doesn't have that much anymore he still has a lot.

My dad is like the average american in almost every way, he is like Hank from King of the Hill but not as southern/rednecky.

My dad is still pretty awesome, even though he sounds kind of boring.

Rabid Dinosaur · 07-25-2008, 05:13 AM

My dad refuses to ride the teacups. They make him sick.

Pizza The Hut · 07-25-2008, 05:17 AM

He's like me then.
