How did he become a mercotan? Will you become one too? Has he put pressure on you to be a mercotan?
If your post count goes up here while your grades go down, then what?
Being the son of, not one, but two MDs, I’ve never been able to fake an illness to stay home from school. Has your dad ever caught you out trying to feign a sick gut or the odd malady to escape the torture of school?
And, did he get you to pull his finger when he had a fart stored up?
Do you ever tire of telling someone you’ve newly met that, " My Dad’s In Prison".
I could run with that one for years.
And what is this about Accidental Sex Education? Was it something like,
“Oh, I didn’t know that went in * there *.”
Do you fly planes as well?
What imaginary numbers incident? Do you mean imaginary numbers like “3i?”
[whispers] Eleventy-three?
I dunno, do you get a toaster for every new mercotan you convert?
Fortunately, I don’t have to maintain a certain GPA to get them to keep paying my tuition. I think they would just be Very Disappointed. And Qadgop does a pretty intimidating Very Disappointed, let me tell you.
Me, no. I was always pretty healthy and pretty good about attending school regularly. The very few times I did fake sick, (I think in late elementary school?) they were willing to let me stay home just because I supposedly wasn’t feeling well, whether or not it came from any actual illness. My sister, on the other hand…
No, I had uncles for that.
No, I am a nice person and don’t go in for tormenting others.
it sounds like fun, though
Nah, just reading books whose exact contents Qadgop had not properly remembered…
Nope.
So, he crashed a plane, and you don’t fly as well, huh?
Think I will keep out from under any flying Mercotans.
Tris.
Do you get to test drive all the cool new meds before the other kids do?
Is it true that sometimes when your friends are over he glues a big magnifying glass lens to his wrist, and tells them he’s with the Galactic Patrol and can read their thoughts?
Ever asked for a second opinon on medical issues? I remember doing this once to my old man, but I was only 6 at the time. Fortunately, he thought it was cute.
As a result of your father being a doctor, did it encourage/discourage you from going into medicine?
Have you ever ‘accidently’ looked through medical books for the gross pictures?
How’s the vegemite going down?
What the hell does Qadgop the Mercotan mean, anyway?
When you greet your dad, do you ever say “What’s up, Doc?” and mime chewing on a carrot (ala Bugs Bunny)?
My dad (an entomologist) never got that…
Does he have a yellow Harley Davidson in the garage he loves but the rest of the family secretly want to sell out from under him?
Yeah, what’s the deal with the vegemite and cheese fixation, anyway?
I meean, Jeez Louise…no wonder he’s in the Big House.
Oh! And when are he and Momgop going to come visit Bawlmer, so we can meet you all?
Will you search on a usual basis for threads he has particpated in or started? Do either of you want a measure of privacy?
So many questions…
When I was little, he told me that imaginary numbers were things like eleventy-three and forty-twelve. You know, numbers that didn’t really exist, hence imaginary.
Well, yes, but that’s because I’m a college student who doesn’t have very much money and does medical testing for spare cash. Not because I’m his kid.
He never told MY friends that. He did tell them about our house rules, though - those being “no sex, no drugs, no barratry.”
