What, did he tip over Greg Abbot?

You can get, anything you want, at Alice's* Restaurant.

Officer Obie, I cannot tell a lie. I put that envelope under that half a ton of garbage.

[–] teuast@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

I don't think I can pick up the garbage with these handcuffs on.

I used to listen to that song every Thanksgiving on the way to my mom's house, but my daughter won't let me anymore.

[–] DanglingFury@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Lol as if i ever could have stopped my dad from playing it. He would wait till we were all in the car then turn it way up, only way to get him to turn it down was to take all our headphones off and listen quietly

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm a softie. Also, there's only so much complaining I want to deal with.

[–] DanglingFury@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If you turn the volume up then you can't hear the complaining. Non compliance is met with more watts. Old man ears are callous to extreme loud and can tolerate it better than any child and most woman. This is how i was raised. I also have tinnitus, so i too am become callous eared.

but my daughter won’t let me anymore.

? why not? It's hilarious. My fam is all prior service or active military and we still laugh our asses off at the recruiting (MEPS) scene.

is there something I've missed about Guthrie etc? Happens, I adored Shel Silverstein until I heard the sequel to A Boy Named Sue...

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because she's a teenager and they're grumpy when they're made to go somewhere for some stupid Thanksgiving and have a stupid dinner with stupid relatives.

[–] vivadanang@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

oh for a moment I was like.... "shit what have I missed this time?" lol

good luck; I have a 13 old who's sarcastic eye roll is fucking lethal, like, multiple teachers have commented.

Someone mentioned to me the other day: nothing I can mess up in this kid's life (within reason) will be worse than the climate apocalypse coming. So enjoy this time.

Yeah. Fuck. But ok.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m honestly amazed they did anything about it.

[–] TheJims@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

He’ll be elected governor

Fun (albeit personal) fact: I'm a Brit who was sent to work in Texas in '96. I've still got a "Don't Mess With Texas" t- shirt from that time.

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Got abbots mom, finally!

[–] figaro@lemdro.id 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely an asshole. That said, if it included some furniture, that could just be like, a sofa
