well for me, it kind of went like:

 

me: "yeah, I'm gay."

dad: "... really? really now"

me: "yeah."

mum:

dad: "I mean really now"

me: "what makes you think I'm gay?"

dad: "because, you know, you're my son, and..." *incoherent mumbling*

mum: lol

me: "yes, I'm your son. so?"

dad: "well, you know, I just thought we should be frank about it"

me: "frank about what?"

dad: "you know..." *flustered noises*

mum: "he's not gay, you fool!"

me: "I like girls. girls with big butts. ok?"

mum: :facepalm:

So because you're his son, he thinks you're gay?

Have you tried asking him how big his closet is?

j/k j/k j/k

When I told my dad I like girls with big butts he threw me out of the house.

my anaconda , something something *mumbles*

nah it was more like "you're my son and I want to know what's going on with you and why you're not in a long-term relationship which is why I'm asking if you might possibly be gay", not "I'm gay and you're my son so I thought you might be gay too" he's just terrible at expressing himself, as many fathers are.

Wife is having contractions, which is the problem (not the upcoming baby) - they don't look like fun at all.

We'll be off to the hospital in a few hours.

That's because we just got married last month, and I didn't make a big deal about it.

Also not my first kid, but my first biological one.

Edit: oh and thanks guys!

I knew I was missing something man. Congratulations and I hope everything is happy/healthy (no post birth complications).

a friend placed a picture on facebook of him and a girl contacted us sending a video of her playing with the cat.

oh well we did the right thing and 6 cats would be way 2 much

After the company merger, our new boss is making all of us developers use macbooks (i'm on desktop ubuntu atm), switch to 1x27" displays instead of 2x24", everybody is getting matching keyboards, mice, chairs and desks. Cause the office needs to look nice. You couldn't make this shit up, seriously.

Had a mastoidectomy a few days back, and had ossicles in one ear replaced with fancy implant things. I now have to carry a card around stating that I can't be exposed to magnetic flux density gradients of greater than 720Gs/cm (7.2 T/m).

So, am I now more IDM because I am now part cyborg, or am I less IDM because I can't hang around big magnets anymore?

Wow, why did you have to have surgery? My sternocleidomastoid is really bad, was it sth like that?

I guess a mastoidectomy is just about the bone whereas your sternocleidomastoid is a muscle and is most likely to hurt you mostly because of its inner muscles than because of the bones it connects.
Don't know if you'll understand me, I suck at explaining things in English lol.

FWP : my turntable is making weird things, such as being unable to play vinyls until the end (when I'm almost at the end of a side, it starts looping a small sample and then the arm rips and the vinyl stops - pretty IDM but I'd like to hear ending tracks TO THE END FFS). If anybody has an idea of what might cause me all that trouble ...(the needle perhaps ?)

I had a cholesteatoma (a cyst thing) that eroded the ossicles and was impacting my cochlea. Had to have it taken out lest I eventually go deaf in this ear

Sample the loops it makes, and make a track exclusively from those loops! Since the turntable chose the loops itself, you should credit it accordingly and award it a cut of any royalties

When I meditate I am in a position that hurts either my back or my knees.

At work, I sit down to rest in the canteen. Halfway through my peaceful lunch, a girl that works there sits down across from me and begins to tell me everything that's happened in the past day or so. She seems to take my silence as interest in her affairs, which it is not.

It wouldn't be so bad if it was actually a conversation, but any attempts to offer anything to what she is saying--"Oh, they did that? Have you tried this?" and so on--is completely ignored and she continues talking, unabated, uninterested in any comments to what she is saying. I am but a tape recorder to her: something she is speaking into, not expecting a response, wanting nothing but to sit there and bare witness. And then she walks off once she has finished, without anything further said, her mind cleaned and mine bored to death. Conversations are fine: listening to a verbal livejournal post, not so much.

I understand that she's a single mum and doesn't have anyone else to tell this stuff to in work place of insensitive can't-keep-secrets people, but still... :¬/
