My dad, the tech genius that he is, has been against every minor step forward since the 90's:

"Why do i need an answering machine, if they need me, they'll call back." He worked for himself as a handyman, so this is plain ridiculous. Finally, someone gives him an answering machine and suddenly it's "This is awesome! I never miss a call! I've got so much work!" Later it was "Why do I need a debit card? I can just write a check!" which evolved to "It's so convenient! I can get gas, even when they're closed!" He repeated the answering machine argument when cell phones arrived, and repeated the results when he finally got one.

It's a running theme in his life. The one that really gobsmacked me was when he proudly declared "the Internet can't hurt me if i don't get on it!"

Witnesses in Boulder said the suspect, Mohammed Sabry Soliman, 45, yelled “Free Palestine” and used a makeshift flamethrower and incendiary devices.

Got yer propaganda wires crossed there, bud.

In a similar vein, if Miss Cleo was actually psychic, why didn't she ever call me?

That's basically what played out. As i remember it when it happened, that was all because the actress that played Aria loved him, and they did it to please her.

Good. Empathy is a weakness, after all.

I'd say hearing his "music" is a worse way, but that's subjective.

I did therapy for a little while a few years ago. I quit after the third week of listening to my "therapist" talk about his wife's after church activities, and attempting to convert me to a Southern Baptist.

I'll take the mercury.

But can you play John The Fisherman on hard, acoustic?

"But don't worry, they're NOT COMMITTING GENOCIDE. Just a little war crime, as a treat."

And this fucker actually used the "I was just following orders" excuse.
