Had me burn the poison ivy he had cut that morning at the camp. Surprised French Settlement wasn’t wiped out.

Mow 3 acres every weekend with a push mower. Didn’t think it was a big deal at the time.

A tree fell down during hurricane Andrew. He spent 4 years burning the stump away every afternoon while asking me to bring him a beer. I didn’t understand it at the time. I need me a good stump to burn.

I had a go cart when I was 8 or 9 years old. One day I couldn't get it to start so I told my Dad to come and take a look. He made sure it had gas, oil, etc. Then he told me to put my finger HERE which unbeknownest to me was the spark plug. He then pulls the rope on the engine and I get the shite shocked out of me. He then says "well its getting fire so that ain't it."

Yep, I had to mow at some point during the week before I could do anything fun on the weekend.

It would really piss him off when I didn't have weekend plans and would just sit around the house. He made the rules.

It rains so damn much in Mobile too, hated the rain.

Sent me in the Pac A Sac for cigarettes. Embarrassing. I have never smoked because of this.

When I started dating in high school and needed money to go out he wouldn’t let me get a part time job (school is your job he would say). Instead he said he would give me $5 for every stump I would dig up in the front 10 acres. Using just a shovel, axe, and sledgehammer. This is how I earned money my junior and senior year. I don’t think he really had anything against me working I just think he was too cheap to pay someone to grind them.

Every spring we drove to some chicken farms and got a truck load of chicken shite and spread it in the flower beds and the yard. Then we’d get a load of mulch and spread it around.

Who had the story of dating in high school where he asked his dad if he could put on something a little nicer than his tshirt and shorts before he came back with his date, then when he got home his dad had put on a 3 piece suit and was acting like a butler? That's one of the all-time best dad stories I've read on here

My dad died when I was 8, so I didn't get to do a hell of a lot of things with him like most kids do heading into their teens.

However, one of his brothers, my Uncle Buster, had me and 2 of his sons my age when we were 12-13 yrs. old stripping an old slate roof off a house after Hurricane Betsy in 65, placing sheathing, tarpaper and nailing down new shingles all the while tied off with ropes to keep us from falling 15 ft. to the ground.

Yeah, mine was an a-hole at times but I wouldn't change it. Hard but fair.

Wish he was still here.

1 day he got tired of raising chickens for eggs and decided to use them for a different kind of meal.
My job was to hold the headless chickens up by their legs after he chopped the head off, to allow them to bleed out and not mess up the meat by running around headless (apparently pumping adrenaline into the muscles or something?)

Those frickers flapped around and moved all kinds of crazy while spewing blood from their necks.

I thought it was awesome at the time but if I did that with my son now, my wife would freak the f out.


The good old days, when men ran the country and didn't GAF what women said about it.

When I was little My dad told me the big AC vents and duct work on the ceiling of grocery stores were there to suck me up if I misbehaved in the store.

I never misbehaved and always made an effort to not walk directly beneath one

The flashlight was a constant

Others included bush hogging at age 8 and following him as he drove the tractor pulling a trailer while I piled up branches and debris in the back

One time we burned a bunch of undergrowth including poison ivy and the fumes from that caused me to break out over my entire body

The pride in his eyes when he came home with a used 3 wheeler and anger when he immediately flipped it in the ditch.

Some good whoopings after I’d been mean to my sister

Busted his arse several times on our old trampoline but I remember once where he jumped from a ladder and double bounced himself straight off the other side

The list goes on…and god I love that man. Makes me feel like I’m not doing my fathering part correctly

couple hands in, my 1 kid goes all in and loses to the other one on purpose so 1 of the 2 kids can double up on me and increase their chances of winning, and then they planned to split the profits of the win. Brilliant!!!

And as to who won...I flopped 2 pair, and my kid flopped a set, so that beat basically crippled me down probably 10:1 in chips, and he put me down a few hands later


Found 2 future people who will get 86’d from at least one casino
