I like this one better. It's the one me and my dad always used to listen to...BehattedWanderer said:Wow, that is a sad meme. And it's popular for the same reason that there's a whole crowd of us that can't look someone in the eye when Cat Stevens comes on with Cats in the Cradle.
It's supposed to be Cathartic I think.SpiralingFlame said:The meme confuses me, because it's not funny, it's just depressing.
I personally have a pretty good relationship with my father, I've tried to be there with him a lot and we've done a lot like fixing up my car and motorcycle together.
that's cool. my dad was rather odd. he had no friends and no real hobbies. he liked to do things i guess and would start projects around the house and stuff. Then he would get mad at me for not wanting to help him. He only socialized with his family, so his brothers were the only real friends he had.Signa said:Yeah, I got almost the whole family in on it. Even my 4 year old brother likes to click around on it and do some stuff. He managed to beat the first 4 levels by himself. As for my dad, there has been a little bit of a connection. Discussing strategies leads to talking about other things in life, so yeah, it's been working out better than I hoped. It just sucks that he doesn't do much for fun, and I thrive on things that are fun. Like I said, opposites.THAC0 said:cool getting ur dad into PvZ. Hope it gives you guys a bit of a common ground to build from.
one of the biggest rules of internet memes is that they don't have to be funny. They just have to catch somehow. This would probably end up in a bawww thread rather than a funny thread.icame said:Yeah...why did this become popular again? Its not really funny
Ok, that's scary, you just described 90% of my dad. He doesn't have any brothers (only 5 annoying-as-hell sisters) and he is rather friendless. He is quite social with people that would be best defined as acquaintances, but I've never ever seen him invite one of his "guy friends" over for dinner or anything. He just doesn't have anyone that he's that close to. He is still madly in love with my mom after 28 years though. I guess that's all he needs. I guess I should be happy he hasn't shot at meTHAC0 said:that's cool. my dad was rather odd. he had no friends and no real hobbies. he liked to do things i guess and would start projects around the house and stuff.
