DIS Dads The DIS Dad's Club IV - Man Laws & Cheese Balls

[FreezinRafiki]

Wow Barry...the next one is 1000..woo hoo.

Yes, and I've been contemplating what to do with it.
I had the idea of just leaving the account sit idle at 999 as an acknowledgment to the Haunted Mansion's 999 Happy Haunts, but then I'd have to open a new account and I just don't have that much ambition.
I could use it to pester Don about finishing his TR (11 days, Don!). But with my luck he'd post the conclusion at the same time, rendering my post pointless. (Which coincidentally, would put it in the same realm as not only the majority of my other posts, but most of I actually say in real life)
I could attempt to say something profound. Yeah, I got nothing there.
I like Tim's DD's idea of just posting a bunch of smiley - but I don't want to steal the thunder of a 4 year old. That's just not cool.

One thing I was sure of was that I am going to use here on the Dad's Club. It's nice to have a place where we can hang out, stray as far off topic as we can think of, and enjoy the company of 400+ other guys that share my same values, beliefs and ideas. So a big thanks to the Fanatic for starting this ball rolling so many years ago. And thanks to Chill & Emma's Dad for keeping it running and constantly improving it. And thanks to everyone - from the guys that just pop in to say Hi to the guys who hang out in here all day, every day. You're what make the DIS Dad's Club what it is and keep it an awesome place to be.

Now, I just opened a new jug of cheese balls. Who's got some good fart jokes?

 

[dvczerfs]

Well he had a Daughter...proof it wasn't me!!!

80 in a 65 on 95 in a Mini-van I couldn't imagine doing such a thing.

Please do tell about the North vs. South Fuzzfest.

Yeah... don't waste it on my TR!! Congrats on your 1000th post! Still not sure how I got roped into keeping the thread going... oh... wait... I volunteered. I thought after my Navy career I decided I would Never Again Volunteer Myself. Bah! I'm not good at listening!

 

[Emma's Dad]

Sure,

I was very busy one early afternoon (running radar while reading Bassmaster Magazine).....when a minivan (yes I said it....) blew by me running somewhere north of 80 in my 65 zone..

So, naturally, I zipped out and pulled the offending vehicle over to the right When I got up to him, I realized he had "Disney or Bust" type slogans in those window paints pretty much all over the van....

I walked up to the vehicle which was occupied by the driver, his wife and a 3 or 4 year old girl in a child seat directly behind them.....I got up to the window (which he had opened) introduced myself, and before the poor guy could say anything, out of the corner of my eye I see the little girl pointing her finger with one hand on her waist---and then out it comes...

"Daddy, Mommy told you like 5 times to slow down, and you didn't listen, and now you're in trouble and he's going to give you a TICKET, and you deserve it...." and she really was cutting into him as only a little girl can do to her dad (Thank God I only have a boy...she was going on and on, the whole time shaking that finger at him.

I mean, I never got another word out of my mouth, I couldn't help but just stand there and listen to this poor guy get a lecture from his 4 year old. The dude's wife wouldn't even LOOK at me...she had her head down with her hand over her mouth desperately trying not to laugh, and he had the most helpless look on his face.....

Finally, I couldn't take anymore and just busted out laughing, at which time the wife lost it too---the driver was white as a sheet Then the little girl turned on me "It's not funny you know, he could hurt somebody"...which caused me to lose it again....

So I took a look at his license and handed back, told him...."I think you've been punished enough already"...he managed a meek "Thank you sir" while his wife went into convulsions and the little girl finally gave up the ghost....

I'm willing to bet that poor guy went 5 under the rest of the trip

Man, I laughed for about two hours.....

Much better than the NYPD guy who just showed me his badge and then pulled off without even saying a word---that encounter had a MUCH different ending....

My... belly... hurts... from... laughing!! This is just too much!

I can honestly say I have NEVER witnessed such a tongue lashing in my life....I know it was funnier in person, but I was done for the day after that one----oh, and I forgot the "Jr. Trooper" badge I gave her after I made sure he was valid....she seemed to like that....Dad, probably not so much

STOP! You're killing me!!

Very cool story, I'm sure I would get the same grilling from DS in some form or another.

But anyways, it's about an hour before I become scarce at the office and the trip begins, loaded the van before I left this morning and have a fresh stack of videos for the boy to watch and me to listen to (I'm introducing the boy to the first season of Tailspin!!!!!!), so in the words of my hero Carl Fredricksen......

So Long Boys!

Adios, Randy! Have a great trip!

Nope, there was no corn in the back

I pulled a guy over running 95 mph in a 70 zone, as I approach the vehicle I see all the NYPD, NY Police Union stickers, and obligatory NYPD hat on the back dash....(this is no big deal to us, as we see this all the time--usually from people who weren't ACTUALLY NYPD officers, but had family "on the job")

As I get up to the window, the guy hangs is badge out, and says "working" and takes off....leaving me standing on the side of the road....

No no no no no, this ain't happening....I run back to my car, and chase his behind down. When he pulls over the second time, he gets out of the car waving his arms and says to me "What's you're problem? I told you I was on the job. No professional courtesy in this state?". My response can not be posted but the nuts in bolts went like this:

"My problem here, Sparky, is you never even acknowledged me or even said hello, sorry, I'll slow down, how ya doin'...nothing...I never said a word to you and you show me a badge that may or may not be real and tell me 'working' and pull off without so much as a 'sorry Trooper, I'll slow down'. Let me ask you a question, what if I had done that to you in New York City. Courtesy works both ways and it's called 'discretion' in these parts".

He calmed down quickly (which might have had something to do with me glaring at him with the front edge of my Smokey hat about a fraction of a centimeter off his forehead, and I'm sure a pretty decent "crazy guy" look on my face, not to mention my sneering comments....

He started to back up and blubber out an apology, but it was too late.....45 minutes, two citations and $2200 dollars later, he was back on his way to Disney World........

Got a call from his precinct commander the next day...told him the whole story...he apologized for his officer's behavior and told me he would take care of it.

He paid his fine and wrote an official apology to me and the Patrol....we sent the commander a copy of the video, I'm sure he was less than impressed

Oops! Yeah... he messed with the wrong guy, fo' sho'.

Just thought I would drop in and see what the Mom's were doing and here is what I saw

Considering we outnumber them by how many?? And they are keeping pace? I wonder who really chattier?

Wonder which will happen First:

1] DIS Dad's VI
2] DIS Dad member #500
3] DIS Mom's II

I know which one it WON'T be... my new trip report when I get back

Awww...

Now that's how you make your 1000th post count. And I agree that the contributions of those above are terrific! So many cool guys here. I tell my wife often how glad I am to have found this group. She nods and smiles at me, and then asks if I've taken out the trash yet.

Oh, and pull my finger!

 

[stopher1]

Here Chris, I think you lost this when you were making that post about Barry's post count:

0

Thanks...I drop stuff a lot. What'll be really impressive though is how quickly he hits 10,000

 

[zuperdaave]

OH NO... what did I do????? I've created a monster!!!!!!!!!!!

that's nice: I'm enjoying your TR so far...great job!

Barry, in true Dis dad form that was a great example of the pointless rambling that occurs here, and is truely worthy of a 1,000th post. Great job.

Oh man Mike - this had me cracking up today. Couldn't really post earlier, but WOW!

 

[stopher1]

OH NO... what did I do????? I've created a monster!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, YES you did!!

Now there'll be no living with him...oh wait, that's Bambi's problem, not ours...

 

[stopher1]

Hey when did you come to my house and borrow my watch? Now if I can just get one of those shirts shipped to Japan.

I know nothing about it. I did originally have 3 of them but don't know what happened to the third...perhaps you were the borrower?. Hmmmm?

 

[that's nice]

So today was an awesome day. I'll just say that straight out.

I was able to finally "meet" my friend that I first met here in the original DDC thread (thanks Fanatic!) We've talked about stuff for a long time, both on the DIS and off. I remember when his little angel Virginia was born. It's been a lot of fun - but this evening was just great, even better than I anticipated. It was such an honor to finally meet #81!! And Christian has an absolutely charming wife, and a beautiful little girl.

AWESOME pics!!! Looks like you guys had a great time!!!

Tim: Barry is a Celebrity
Barry: ...und Genius

I can honestly say I have NEVER witnessed such a tongue lashing in my life....I know it was funnier in person, but I was done for the day after that one----oh, and I forgot the "Jr. Trooper" badge I gave her after I made sure he was valid....she seemed to like that....Dad, probably not so much

Great stories!!!! Liked the NYPD one too!

So Long Boys!

This almost brought a tear to my eye... but that could of just been my gas.. i had Burger King for lunch.

Congrats on 1000!!!!

that's nice: I'm enjoying your TR so far...great job!

Thanks for reading.. Stop by anytime!

Yes, YES you did!!

Now there'll be no living with him...oh wait, that's Bambi's problem, not ours...

We will still have to read it here day in and day out though.

I will take full responsibility for this.

 

[FreezinRafiki]

Barry, in true Dis dad form that was a great example of the pointless rambling that occurs here, and is truely worthy of a 1,000th post. Great job.

Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Yes, YES you did!!

Now there'll be no living with him...oh wait, that's Bambi's problem, not ours...

Yup, she's at her wits end too!

We will still have to read it here day in and day out though.

[middlepat]

Guys you're making it hard to keep up with everyone with all this chatter!

FreezinRafiki: Barry congrats on hitting 1000 posts. I'll have to check the archives but I believe that I joined shortly after you so my DDCiversary should be coming up soon as well.

Fed:You're killing me with the trooper stories. Of course with my 3 DDs I go 10 under.

that's nice:"It's alive. It's alive. IT'S ALIVE!!!" Now if we can only teach him to dance to "Puttin on the Ritz"
