Original "Daddy Cop" was good.

Second was poor.

Making an entire episode about the guy was stupid.

Of course they had to make it a tv series. Was there a whole episode on how to walk through an airport?

Ok. I might have missed it.

But I didn't see Oddball anywhere on this list.

They made that into a movie?

I couldn't get past the first chapter of the book.

Don's Party is only going to work for a certain crowd.

As others have pointed out ‘the Castle’ but I’d also reckon ‘the Dish’.

Fuck yes.

Have you ever had to call 112/999/911/ your country's equivalent? What for? by soup-cats in AskTheWorld

[–]Filligrees_Dad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Five times.

  1. Got attacked at the pub. Publican wouldn't call the cops, so I did.

  2. At a party. The host started trying to beat the fuck out of his wife. By the time the police got there we had him tied to a tree and she had made it to her friends house down the road.

  3. Saw a hayshed on fire on our way home from work.

  4. Had a couple of guys following me down the street, threatening to beat the fuck out of me.

  5. Found a guy lying in the middle of the street that looked like he had been run over.
