Title: Just like real daddy, but drinks less beer Post by: Righ on September 01, 2006, 11:41:51 AM Too bad we had to send daddy off to die. But don't worry, we've made a replacement, without any of that icky and godless cloning! (http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2006/08/30/guard_families_cope_in_two_dimensions/)

I'm not sure what's more pathetic, that the Guard thought this wouldn't be a patronizing sham, or that these guys have been gone so long, a waist-up photo stuck on foam board actually helps the families.

I don't know what to say about this, so re-read what Haemish wrote instead.

"Anatomically Correct Flat-Daddy" Title: Re: Just like real daddy, but drinks less beer Post by: Viin on September 01, 2006, 12:57:13 PM Oo I smell a new product line from Real Dolls (http://www.realdoll.com/)!
edit: er, I don't really mean "smell" - it's a figure of speech! Title: Re: Just like real daddy, but drinks less beer Post by: Llava on September 01, 2006, 02:50:22 PM Quote ``I prop him up in a chair, or sometimes put him on the couch and cover him up with a blanket," said Kay Judkins of Caribou, whose husband, Jim, is a minesweeper mechanic in Afghanistan. ``The cat will curl up on the blanket, and it looks kind of weird. I've tricked several people by that. They think he's home again." I'm calling bullshit on that quote. Either she's making it up, or the quote was made up. I know every time I walk into the comic store I yell out "OH FUCK IT'S DARTH VADER" before realizing it's a cutout, but this is a whole other level. Quote The Flat Daddies ride in cars, sit at the dinner table, visit the dentist, and even are brought to confession, according to their significant others on the home front. What the fuck is the priest supposed to do with that? "Fucking great, now I have to sit in this box for five minutes and pretend I'm talking to this thing. How the fuck am I supposed to know when he's done?" Title: Re: Just like real daddy, but drinks less beer Post by: Merusk on September 01, 2006, 03:06:37 PM Reason #847 why I couldn't be a priest. The temptation to do something like come out of the confessional and tell 'daddy' what an awful thing he is for having that affair with the shoebox would be too great.

Quote The Guard pays to have a photo of the troop member blown up In Iraq, being blown up is free of charge. Title: Re: Just like real daddy, but drinks less beer Post by: Signe on September 02, 2006, 07:59:10 AM You're lucky you're still asleep or I'd groan really, really loud directly at you!
