My Dad Belongs to the Messageboards Now

Well, all the fun ends now. Damn!

It was getting good too.
Now there’s another old person stinking up these boards…

…and the first thing he does is goes all Woody Page on Around the Horn in a discussion thread in Great Debates. Not only that, he’s got typos galore.

Way to establish your street cred, dad.

Yep, that’s my dad.

Er, who is he?

Aww now Loune give the guy time. Leik yuo nerev had a tpyo! :stuck_out_tongue:

He is gonzomax.

And no! I’ve never had a typo!

my fingers just hate each other and have civil wars played out on the keyboard…that’s all…

Additionally, instant messaging him means I suffer through enough of his typos.

Eh. He’s old. What can ya do?

His interests, per his profile, are “beer and golf”. I’m sure we can find a companion on the boards.

I tried to like golf. The best part of it was the clubhouse bar afterwards. I even bought clubs. I do, however, like drinking beer and watching people play golf. So maybe I could be his fan club. You know, I could sit in the golf cart, drink beer and cheer him on, like… WOOHOO! Way to go gonzomax! Good shot, putt, whatever… Think he’d like that? :smiley:

I think that, after warming up to it, he’d be a huge ham after a few beers.

I should direct his attention to this thread.

You young 'uns got no respect for your elders! Now just set yourself down and write, 100 times, “I will not sass the old farts”

Then get over here and pull the weeds in my front garden. That’ll learn ya!!

Sheesh, dang whippersnappers…

You forgot, “and hurry up and graduate already so you can start earning a living to support me when I retire!”

These whippersnappers need to be reminded of that every once in a while.

Yeesh! Graduation is on the 20th…then we’ll work on making sure all you elders are taken care of (in the mafioso sense).

Stupid weeds…stupid old people…I never asked to be born!
How big is said garden, by the way?

I know the feeling. My mom’s a member too. And there’s so much I could say!

Except for the fact that my wife reads 'em too. As do several other people I see and know on a regular basis…

Don’t listen to him, gonzomax. You have an enchanting musk.

Great! Now no popstars are gonna want to buy the SDMB (how LOUNE, will your dad get Simpsons references?)

Depends on how much whining you do - have I ever mentioned that our yard is 3 acres??? :smiley:

Dear Least Original User Name Ever,
…I think this is absolutely terrible the way you are picking on the elderly. It is not nice to make fun of you dad. You should stop this at once.
…So in the future do not do without providing links. :smiley:

Hey, it’s my daughter’s fault that I’m here.

But to be fair to her, I’ve thanked her many, many times for the many hours of entertainment. And TMI. Really, really great TMI.

Nope. Dad prolly wouldn’t get em. Unless he’s been watching the Simpsons like a fiend while I was away at school.

Bah!

I’m not whining!..I’m…pointing out…in a whiny tone of voice

Just cause you have Overlord status doesn’t mean you USE it!

Also, I am willing to volunteer the rebellious back of my yard for additional weeding and general brush removal. LOUNE . Welcome to another future member of our retirement community! Psssst, can we have a little talk about your son, **gonzomax[/]? He hasn’t really been pulling his own weight in the earning-funds-for-our-retirement department. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
