My dad has been: a brick-layer, an English teacher, a juvenile probation officer, and a Social Security case worker.

My dad loves Frank Sinatra.

My dad loves Italian culture; he used to drive all the way to Philly - 45 minutes away - just to pick up authentic bread, Parmesan cheese, and things of that nature.

My dad once fell off our roof (slipped on ice) and suffered a massive concussion.

My dad has a real simple philosophy when it comes to material goods - he chooses the most economical or basic things possible.

When my one older brother used to live in the house, my dad and I would throw freezing cold water on him when he was in the shower.

My dad played tenor saxophone, and was in a jazz band at some point.

- Every time my dad's internet slows down a bit, he messages me on MSN going "Are you downloading?" He did it while I was reading this thread and utorrent isn't even open :3

- My dad is one of my least favourite people in the entire world; a fat, nerdy hypocrite who when he's in a bad mood will completely overreact to every single thing and try and break down any sense of self-worth my mother has ("You do nothing around here, I do everything, etc etc" - a completely untrue statement which makes me want to scream whenever I hear it.), and when he's in a good mood is the atypical "embarassing teen's dad" which I guess isn't such a big deal but the problem is he can't do a nice thing without using it as leverage about a week later when he's pissed off at you. He expects total sympathy from everyone when he has even the slightest headache or something, and frequently does random loud groans to remind us LOOK HOW ILL I AM GUYS.

- My dad, when he comes into my room and asks me to do something, will always tack stuff on at the end, e.g. not "I'm going to bed now, can you turn the music down/off/whatever", it's always "I'm going to bed now, I'm very tired and I've had a long day, can you turn the music down/off/whatever". It's a little thing which shouldn't bother me but it's just so annoying, like he wants sympathy for his busy office job life where he plays Mario Kart DS every lunch.

- My dad plays World of Warcraft all the fucking time and he goes to loads of places with his "friends" in their early twenties to play in fucking card game tournaments.

- Moving to student accommodation in September is going to be the best thing that ever happened to me.

Reading this has made me realize how few things I've done in life that will be interesting enough for my kids to say, "my dad did xyz!"

I'm gonna go out and commit some felonies now.

When my dad jogs, he technically stays in the same place. It's the planet that begins moving under his feet. If my dad jogs east, he can make the day go slower. If he jogs west, he makes the day go faster. If he jogs north or south, he can fuck up the environment.

My dad loves Basketball. Whenever the Sacramento Kings play, He buys every single ticket. So whenever you see Kings play any team, the audience is made up entirely of my dad's friends and co-workers.

My Dad is currently in jail on charges that he created and ran a highly successful pyramid scheme that targeted african-american females and recruited them into a sprawling criminal empire that centered on magazine subscription sales. My Dad is the fall guy, but if he talks the mob kills him.

My dad's heart is coated in solid gold. The doctors told him it was a bad idea and that his heart would give out before he reached 30. My dad is now 112 years old.

My dad used to wear a tuxedo to bed every night. I never understood why, until one night he gets a call at 3 in the morning from the NAACP awards, saying that they're mid-ceremony and have just decided to give him a lifetime achievement award. He said, "I'll be there in 10." jumped on his motorcycle, drove to L.A and accepted an award handed to him by Usher. Now he sleeps in his pajamas.

-my dad has been a farmer since he was a boy

-when he's pissed off he'll shout at anyone for anything. he once called me down from my room to scream at me because i'd signed up to do volunteer work (which, before you wonder, was simply so I'd have something good to put on CV's)

-he oddly enjoys the occasional videogame, every few years or so we'd find a game that we'd end up both playing for hours on end. We'd play Worms 2, Crash Bandicoot 1-3, Serious Sam and CoD2 for hours.

-he was very quiet about religion until a few years ago when he started declaring whenever religion was mentioned "the only afterlife is worms crawling up your ass"

-he once taught a polish band who spoke barely any english to play a traditional scottish song, and then taught everyone in the room how to dance to it.

-he makes jokes like "That reminds me of the beach you were concieved on"

- My dad spends his life trying to get drug addicts to not kill themselves.
- He once shat in some guy's driveway whilst drunk and then fell over into it. He left the shirt in the bath overnight and his mother found it.
- He used to bowl for the county (Dorset) cricket team.
- My dad has eaten with David Bowie.
- He only gets angry very rarely, but when he does it is terrifying. He kicked a hole in the lounge door for no real reason.
- He watches porn in the lounge at about midnight and has no knowledge of the concept of keeping the volume at a reasonable level
- i was conceived in his second marriage and i only found out about this a couple of years ago, and that i have a half brother from that marriage
