I met up with my sister who is a therapist this morning. I haven't talked to her in a while because some unimportant uninteresting situation. Ideally this conversation would've lead to some common understanding and we'd move on. She decided to try to break down my opinions using skills she's learned in the office. I would've preferred her to talk to me like her brother, instead she chose to speak to me like a client.
Totally agree. I served on the Board for a children's non-profit organization for about 9 years. Many of the people on the board were professors, therapists, psychologists and pastors. We also held our board and committee meetings with the executive staff, most of whom had clinical degrees. It was mostly enjoyable, but there was one woman in particular that did this. She would talk pop culture and sports during casual conversation, and much of the business meetings she'd use the same tone. But, then, as soon as there was a point she'd disagree with, she start dropping psycho babble buzz words to "create a safe space" and allow "a more holistic solution" in order to allow a "synergy" blah blah, all in a condescending tone of voice.
I am off to see Springsteen in a couple of hours. The first time I got to see him live was when he was out on "The River Tour" Yep now I am going to see him on 'The River Tour". I guess the only difference will be some 35 years have passed. Fun times.
My old man is one of those men who was a script for every idle conversation that leads to laughter. One of them is, in regards to mammaries of human females, "Anythin' more'n a mouthful is a waste." Anyone else have a dumb dad saying that later in life seemed prescient?
That guy is a comedian trolling country fans/ the industry. He used to have a show on comedy central. Ben Hoffman is his real name.
Rush, once you've seen one pair of boobs you want to see them all. Mine aren't what they once were, unfortunately. Though they're finally, two years after the last kid was born and one since he stopped nursing, starting to look almost normal again. No, I won't post a picture to prove it.
Ah you know me so well. It looks like there's some fine print there at the end. I don't have my reading spectacles handy, though. Hey, should post a picture to prove it. Or, PM it to me, and I'll vouch for you.
Yes and no. Yes, that is Ben Hoffman, and he had a show on Comedy Central. No, he's not trolling. He's from Kentucky and is a country music fan. The producer of that record is a well known producer, Dave Cobb. The session musicians are equally well-known in recording circles. He wanted to record an honest to goodness country album with an old sound, but, being a comedian, he also wanted it to be funny.
Not really any sayings, so much as just realizing that my old man was right about a ton of shit. Probably the biggest dad joke type thing I do is when people ask if I have any questions about anything (and they're not specific about what the questions should be in reference to, I ask where babies come from. Almost universally gets a laugh, especially if I'm standing there with my kid.
To add on what Misanthropic said, it's not like country musicians are exempt from writing/performing funny songs. My personal hero, Johnny Cash, did a shit-ton of funny songs. He didn't write all of them himself, but the man had a great sense of humor. Here's a song that he wrote just to piss off his record company (It's an official video, by the way): David Allan Coe has whole album of funny/adult songs. Then there's this little gem, featuring Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn: (Fun fact: I'm 99% sure that my mom wanted to fuck Conway Twitty.)
So, THAT's where the expression "Who peed in your Cheerios?" comes from. http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/13/us/kellogg-worker-urinate-video/
