Hey if they are using the Avengers to get kids into the sciences then I am all for it.

Haven just send me a PM asking if I would help him get his van to look like my truck.

So this past Fri-Sun (yes...on Halloween ), my oldest son was in a high school basketball tournament. The cool part was that he was selected to the tournament all-star team. He got a neat black and orange Halloween jersey, and the all-star team played this school called Findlay Prep.

Well, Findlay Prep is basically a school where you spend a lot of money to have your son play basketball and hopefully get into a top college. So, these kids were pretty good. They were destroying the all-star team. The kids themselves seemed pretty cool. They weren't trash talking or bragging, just having fun playing hoops, and joking around with our kids. The parents though...they were obnoxious. And because the gym only had one side open for seating, they were right next to us.

It seemed that on every play they had something to scream or yell. Hey, your team is up 30 points at a fun pre-season tournament that doesn't really mean anything, can you ease up some? Well, my youngest son and I decided to join in.

So, every time they started yelling, we would just start yelling nonsense. "I left the water running in the kitchen!" "That's like marshmallows in the oven!" "My bus pass is expired!", and our personal favorite which we are now just saying at random times, "It's like diet soda, son!".

That was quite possibly the most fun I've ever had at a high school basketball game.

I can't REP you anymore so I'm going to have to post here.

This is freaking hilarious.

I've been dealing with an upper-respiratory thing for the last week and I laughed really hard and suddenly at this and blew snot all over my hands and keyboard, so thanks for that.
Yes, LPC, even at this late date; dance for Haven.
Also, I'll take this moment to publicly call you out: No one believes I sent a PM to you. Everyone knows I don't send PMs.

I thought you would have been more interested in being vaccinated against dads.

Why is there no Uncle Ben clix yet?

Because he comes pre-ko'd.

Thank your lucky stars that Doom is a Doctor in everything cause most people pay good money for a good snot extraction.

!!Vote Doom!!

Cause then we'd need an Aunt Jemina, Famous Amos, Mrs. Paul, and every other food character.

make him a resource

<smacks jwb with rolled-up newspaper he keeps on hand for just such an occasion>. NO! NO!!!

How is he going to cover the spray painted on "Free Candy"?

What if cats don't have nine lives? What if they have a number of lives equal to the number of souls they have stolen from the living?

And what if mirrors are actually ourselves in a different universe keeping ourselves from walking through what actually is a doorway to that dimension, because that side is a wasteland. OR WHAT IF WE ARE THE REFLECTIONS KEEPING THE OTHER PERSON FROM COMING IN THIS LAND.
