Jun. 20th, 2005 07:41 amYesterday was Father's Day. Several hours before I went to work, we all gathered at the dining room table, and I went into Marie's room with Mom and Marie. Mom got Dad a handcart, so we decided to stack the other presents on there, and then wheel them out when Dad came inside. Marie got Dad the Far Side Gallery #5, and he started reading it. Mom also gave Dad a card with the title "To Tame a Highland Warrior" and the words "Only love could gentle his savage soul." It showed the main characters, and Dad's face was pasted over the male protagonist's. I continued my Japanese word lesson, and then played Sonic the Hedgehog 3, while they continued reading, but Dad called me in to see a drawing of someone leaving the restroom, and a sign above him flashing "Didn't Wash Hands."
After I left work, I continued playing the game, but Marie wanted to know something about tapeworms. At dinner, she asked Dad about it, and he said that people living in poor-sanitation areas get it from fecal matter. She asked if she would ever get one, and Dad said that it's not likely, and even if she did, it would be easy to cure here. He suggested Googling it.
Last night was a funny episode of The Simpsons and an even funnier episode of Family Guy (and it always is), though I skipped American Dad (again).
Last night, during a house party, everyone was going to play paintball, only to end up using real handguns. Then, during some quiz game, Lois switched Peter's questions to the "Preschool Edition," and asked "What color is a fire engine?" After answering the question, Peter's like "Good thing I watched that discovery channel show about fire engines." Flashback to that show, featuring a fire engine preying on antelopes, chasing one down, and then four ambulances coming in for its feast. Another particularly amusing flashback would be some yellow ball in a cowboy hat dancing around and singing some funny song. Peter opens the door and tells him that it's 3:30 in the morning. I don't remember what the ball was saying, except for "I just had a box of crack" in response to "What's with you?", but it was funny nonetheless.
The episode continues, Peter wins the game because his questions are easy, and he brags about being a genius. He takes an IQ test, only to find out that he's mentally retarded. When he almost runs someone over, the victim lets him go "because he's retarded," so he starts doing other things like kicking down doors in the women's restroom and yelling "testicle" on a McDonald's intercom. He then tries to lift a box of French fry oil, only to have it splash on Lois, and when she's in the hospital, he loses his kids because he's a bad example as a father. The kids start living at Cleveland's, and Peter brings in seven hookers to the house to get his kids back. That parody of Sesame Street was also particularly funny ("1 2 3 4 5 6 7. Seven. Seven prostitutes.")
Enough about that. In real life, Peter would probably have been dragged to a mental hospital, but at least this wasn't like that episode of The Simpsons where the kids get separated from their parents because the house is a mess.
