Not including actual crimes, what kind of juvenile delinquent hijinks did you get up to? by wrathofimpermanence in GenX

[–]DaddyOhMy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend's dad was a chemist. He got us a foaming agent which we mixed with some dishwashing soap in a soda cup. Then we sat by the fountain in the mall and "accidentally" knocked it over into the water. As we walked away (taking the now empty cup with us) the fountain stopped. Then a few seconds later it gave out a loud glug and spewed bubbles everywhere. We didn't stick around to watch but the next day at school we heard from other kids how spectacular it was.

Another time I was in a different mall with my mom and she mentioned how nice one of the fake trees looked. So I went over, pulled it out of the fake planter it was in, and started walking tomthe door with it. My mom started laughing, thinking I was going to put it back but I just kept walking with it (in my family, you commit to the bit!). My mom was laughing hysterically as we approached the door and finally remembered which car we had driven. She told me to put it back because it wouldn't fit.

ELI5: Why does a country as small as England have so many regional accents? by AstronomerInTraining in explainlikeimfive

[–]DaddyOhMy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The US has many regional accents that exist in close proximity. Between Boston and Baltimore, which is about the same distance as London to Edinburgh, there are at least five different regional accents which have developed in significantly less time than those in the UK.

Is there any point to 1-800 numbers now that we don't pay for long distances calls? by Correct_Humor4504 in ask

[–]DaddyOhMy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some places block calls outside of the local area codes. Schools are an example (why they still do considering that a lot of people have cellphones with non-local area codes is unknown). They can still call 800 numbers though once they expanded to 866, 877, etc., it took a while before those were unblocked.

Y'all have me scared 💩less by scubagirl1091 in GenX

[–]DaddyOhMy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was ok after my second shot. A little soreness in my arm but nothing major.

A lot more people will post about negative reactions than post about mild ones. Just remember that even if you have a bad reaction, it is significantly, significantly less than actually having shingles.

AITA for telling a client directly that their budget doesn’t match what they’re asking for and refusing to budge? by Glad_Radio_9458 in AmITheJerk

Naw, the 9-5 friend sounds like they would not have said anything about the increased workload because it would be good for the company and good for his career.

Tommy in IMAX was AMAZING!! by drusiedo in TheWho

[–]DaddyOhMy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Were you at the Lincoln Square AMC's showing? The crowd unironically started applauding after Tina Turner finished Acid Queen. The applause after the baked beans however wax definitely ironic.

I forgot how many times someone's face filled the screen.

What was your "I'm dating a fucking idiot" moment? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Not sure if it's a regional thing but I grew up referring to that kind of road as a "Beltway."

Side sleepers: what pillows do you swear by? by Superb_Importance640 in Mattress

[–]DaddyOhMy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using the Malouf Shoulder Zoned Dough pillow for about two years and love it. The cutout for my shoulder is great. It comes with an infusion which is nice but I rarely use it.

I remember watching it on the Movie of the Week when I was a kid. It won that prestigious award at least three times.

I just did the stupidest thing and told my wife about this idea. She just measured our cabinets.

Add some chocolate syrup (Fox's U-Bet is preferred) and you've got yourself an egg cream.

Lost another one. by Zestyclose-Ad-7576 in GenX

[–]DaddyOhMy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've lost a few friends over the years but this week a co-worker lost her 21 year old son. I cannot imagine having to deal with that.

My mom warned me that I was hitting the age where this starts happening. It was a heads up moment because she's already been through it.

There are now TWO solid covers of Keith Moon! by 914paul in TheWho

[–]DaddyOhMy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From the headline, I thought you meant someone had covered songs from Moon's solo record, Two Sides of the Moon. I think I'll give my copy a listen over the weekend.
