I went to Costco early this morning and when I was headed to the back I witnessed/heard a man (who I assume was the father) "lecturing" his kids (a young boy & girl around 3-4 yrs old each sitting in a shopping cart) about the "value" of $ by repeatedly telling them that he bought them this and that for X "fucking" dollars because they (or at least one of them) apparently, had the audacity to ask him to buy something for them that he didn't want to buy.

A woman (who I assume was his wife) was standing right next to him while he was doing this and didn't say a thing. Probably because she's learned not to challenge him. So, sad.

I was tempted to stop to ask him to stop doing that but: 1) I'm not an active duty cop anymore, 2) I didn't have a gun on me and 3) didn't have any backup.

I've been involved in such situations before and they always get ugly and, w/o the authority of law behind me and w/o backup, I figured it was a "no win" situation and (I'm not proud to say that) I just moved on.

What would you have done?

He didn't lay a finger on them, right? Ir even threaten to? Just what you consider to a be a moment of pretty bad parenting with pretty bad language?

Then unless you're prepared to raise the kids as your own, mind your own effin' business.

Sorry, no.

Men have ring fingers that are longer than their index fingers (mine are about a half an inch longer), while in women these fingers are roughly the same length or the index finger is slightly longer.

Most but not all men/women.

How do you deal with the unavailability of leaded gasoline?

Raising a child nowadays is a pain in the ass. Sometimes I ask myself what the eff I was thinking, but then I wouldn’t trade the world for anything else. He may be only 5, but he’s my best friend. So !

All real men.

I believe there's an additive if necessary

I had never been to a NASCAR race so I went to the Daytona 500 last weekend and it was pretty damn impressive to see it in person vs on TV. It makes me want a muscle car real bad! Nice new toy Madranchtx !

pelvic shape and size is the most accurate standard in determining gender via skeletal structure

That saw we got to chop up that vintage micarta sheet is pretty bananas.

Ben has grown a third testicle. Or that could be an intestine poking out?

 

[tinfoil hat timmy]

probably a 3rd testicle

check his ring finger and belly button location.

Yeah, I'm not going to check too close. I don't want to look, I think he's a dude. You can tell because of his shoulder to waste ratio. And that index finger thing.

Remember the good old days when dudes had dicks...?

 

[tinfoil hat timmy]

it's probably more like ''Its a big 'TRUMAN SHOW' and EVERYONE is 'Truman''' than you'd think

I want royalties if some one is filming and airing my life...... I guarantee that shit is hilarious! Hahaha

Still true as far as I’m concerned, not much changed on the street or in adult bedrooms AFAIK. Media and Twitter is another story.

Boy or girl, tinfoil hat timmy ? And how does it matter ?

Guess what ingredient is missing in OLIVE Garden Italian Dressing?




OLIVE oil! Not a drop of it. No extra virgin. No anything. Cheap soybean oil, instead. How can you call yourself OLIVE Garden??
