Some of you may have been thinking that I used a little too much hyperbole here. Sure, Fred, the most surreal conversation of your adult life was teaching your dad how to install Netflix? Pshaw. Oh no. That was just the appetizer.
Phone rings the next day. My dad informs me that they've talked to Comcast and they're getting the new box.but he's sulky because he doesn't know what it does or how it works. I'm confused. Of course you don't know how it works, that's apparentky been your entire experience with technology since the mid eighties. How did this new DVR box from Comcast become the one thing you care about in a world of technology you had gladly eschewed since before cell phones existed to the point that you still don't even carry a flip phone?
She wouldn't let me talk to them. She's mad at me. Were fighting now.
(From the other room) that's not true, I'm not mad, he's the only one fighting.
Me: hey cool so good luck with that. When you get your new box and remotes, let me know and I'll teach you how to use them.
My mouth is speaking before my brain considers the ramifications. This will be a full day. Followed by more calls. How do I get back to the movie? What was the name of the movie I was watching? What is SD, and why did it make me buy that movie twice. This was no small offer I was making, and I am sure that it sounded vaguely like HEY WHEN YOU GET YOUR NEW BOZ AND REMOTES, LET me know and I'll oh no..
But while my spidey senses were tingling, I imagine it was like the real spider man seeing a school bus full of kids and seeing homer j simpson driving it and thinking, oh no, he's going to get into a car accident. I mean, maaaybe... but that's probably not your biggest concern right now.

So Freddy, if I want to watch dirty movies on this, will people be able to see what I watched?
Oh. Yes, I guess so. Like the Comcast people can tell but trust me they don't want to know what you're watching when you flip away from fox News for five to seven minutes.
Well how much do they cost?
I don't know anymore. More than a regular movie I'm sure. Probably like ten bucks. I don't even know how much they have anymore it's all free on the internet.
Wait it's free on the internet?
Oh. No. I didn't mean literally free. Hey I have another call coming in i have to go.
How do you get it for free on the internet?
The trap is, um, laid. My dad, apparently, has not been. In a long while. There's zero chance he's leaving himself untouched when he's this close to the finish line. If i don't help him, I will be getting phone calls in a month asking for help because last time he opened his browser he got 500 popups for ED medicine and hot singles in his area, and this time he can't get them to come back. If I help this poor, horny creature, I risk forever remembering him every time I think about taking some me time. There are no good answers here. But I have to help.

Reminds me of the time my moms husband* “accidentally” ordered porn when my mom was out of town
*step dad is weird because they starting dating when I was like 14 and didn’t get married until I was in my mid 20’s. Never thought of him as a dad in any sense

how are the creators of The Chase going to edit the show so that it's not so obvious that the psychopath is just plotting on how he can fillet and wear the skins of the contestants?
even in the taped, re-taped, re-taped and heavily edited promos he comes off as cold and lifeless. he can't even fake human emotion after hours of coaching.

Found out my local dispensary delivers within a 30 mile radius on orders of $100 or more. What a time to be alive

So interesting turn of events, they call me around 2:30 to let me know they’ll be there around 3:15. Around 3:00 my wife tells me her chest feels heavy and she can’t breathe. She’s had panic attacks before (infrequently) but we don’t take any chances and call 911Dan Lambskin said:
delivery girl shows up and and hurry up and pay her just as the ambulance pulls up. I’m holding a big white paper bag when I let them in
They run some tests and determine it’s most likely just panic/anxiety attack. While they’re wrapping up the guy asks what kind of food I got delivered. Not really wanting to tell the paramedics I just got a huge bag of edibles delivered I just said “oh um, that’s not food”

My kids may have overheard me telling an old tale about Richard Gere and gerbils and now they keep bringing it up and singing “I’ve got gerbils up my butt”

You guys may want to actually click the link in Furls's post (or not. I mean, I CANT IMAGINE I'd blame you).
Unless FBG Chet had also been whizzed on by a bunch of wanna be Navy SEALS as a teenager, he's not talking about that Chet.

My mom was clearing out some stuff at home and found video tape of her surprise 60th birthday (25 years ago)...had my brother digitize and upload it for me.
So many people on there who are all gone, not least of which was my dad. I was thinking of him recently while looking at picture in floppinhos room...specifically that I couldn't remember what he sounded like. that realization hit me square in the gut. Can't tell you how much I've been bawling since seeing and hearing that video tape.

Funny, I was coming here to comment about this show.
I know by the world’s standards we’re prudes here in the US, but if it means we don’t get children’s shows like this, I think I’m ok with that. This is just really really weird.

Hated that little ####er. Might be the worst character ever created in any medium
there was one where he was squawking like a bird or something...excruciating

Canada gave us Caillou and Geddy Lee. Is there something wrong with Canadians that they think this is how people’s voices should sound?

Then how will our kids learn important lessons?
"He takes responsibility for his actions. When a woman in the show tells him that he should keep his penis in his pants, for instance, he listens. Which is nice. He is accountable.”

Ruby was such a little C-word. I mean I know Max was kind of a #####, but she never let him do anything. “No Max...you can’t (insert fun activity for small children). “. But it just have been tough being abandoned by your parents and only having your grandma stop by occasionally to check on you

I mean if you enjoy a good hate watch try to at least get through the intro. I think there’s a few episodes with a creepy neighbor who’s an obvious diddler too

He says it right in the theme song. He is just a kid whose 4, each day he learns some more.
