  1. I ended up taking him to one of those suburban pumpkin patches, you know, the dirt lot ones they change to a Christmas tree lot or a fireworks booth depending on the season... Kind of a shitty alternative, but they had a bounce house so he was stoked.

  2. So my Mom and I had my son today while my wife was working. We were driving around a more rural area looking at homes for sale and we came across a pumpkin patch on a family farm. Luke's almost 2, so it sounded like a good idea to stop and let him run around and buy some pumpkins. One sign said it was open, but another said they closed 20 minutes ago. I decided to drive in, kind of a ways back onto the property, and to my relief saw a bunch of other cars and other families running around and whatnot. Luke's super excited. We get out and start walking around, and this place is right out of a family movie. Kids laughing, old guy bbqing, the whole package. No one comes up and asks us if we need help, so we're just kind of standing around while Luke is playing and having fun. After about 20 minutes, we ask one of the ladies if there's anyone there who could help us. Luke already picked out his pumpkins and all. She says "no, this is my sister's farm, and we're all here for a family birthday party. You're here after they already closed to the public." I'm like, shit. Awwwkkkwwwaaarrrddd... So I pick up Luke and apologize, he's crying super loud, and we load up and go. I was kind of halfway embarrassed for invading their party (which looked like a lot of fun. They had a fucking huge trebuchet that was launching pumpkins like 50+ yards), but more so angry 'cause someone could have just come over and nicely said it was a private party. Not like it takes a lot of time for me to hand off $50 and load up some gourds. Anyhow, kind of long story, but I felt hella uncomfortable.

  3. Sorry to be a complete bitch here, but I have a real phobia about eating food / drink that I didn't get myself. I shoulda posted this earlier, but I just noticed everyone's talking about sending snacks. Figured I'd be honest at least...

  4. Shoulda... I thought he might have been joking at first. Dads tend to come in and try to make unfunny jokes pretty often. After a few minutes I realized they were all just idiots. The kid too. A family of idiots.

  5. humans.

    example (at retail store):

    me: hi, how are you today.

    him (heavy israeli accent): fine. you only sell the left side of these shoes?

    me: no, we sell both the left and right as a "pair". you are looking at the display model.

    him: oh, it would probably be cheaper for just one, no?

    me: no.

    woman with him (fat, heavy accent, glittered sweater): you want to know a retail trick? use wax paper on the bars, they slide much better.

    me: I know. What can I help you with?

    her: why is that jacket $159 and that jacket $450. is the more expensive one a rip off?

    me: no, one is cotton. One is leather. leather is more expensive.

    her: oh, that makes sense. Can I have that one (leather) for the same price as that one? (cotton)

    me: no. what else can I help you with? (as 5 year old is slapping his grandmother with a new Tanner belt)

    them: nothing.

    me: thank you for coming in.

  6. they're awesome. they can be a bit stubborn and some have health problems due to so much inbreeding.

    i say go for it, they kick ass.

    I know they look neat and all, but they take lots and lots of care. By nature, they shouldn't even be alive (they all have to be c-sectioned, they can't even breed in the wild), and have tons of health issues. More of the hassle is that you have to clean between the folds regularly (if not daily). If you're gonna get one, and as an adoption is the only way I'd do it, set aside considerable $ for care.

  7. as I know who your partner is

    nah blud

    he/she is all mine.

    Considering the quality level of offspring I produce (as referenced in other threads), I think Mass would disagree with you. Shit, we're not supposed to say our swap partner yet, are we? Fuck...

  8. Duck Sauce- it could be you...my gift isn't expensive, but depending on how long it lives and the medical issues, it could get expensive for someone in the long run. How much does college cost again?

    Ok, so I've decided to impregnate my swap partner. It's the gift of life!

  9. i just hope there will be orgies in pools of blood...honestly, i'm interested...

    I know what I'm getting my superswap partner now...

    ...but it might not be you Suzie...

    ...but it might be...
