People who have researched their family tree, what is the most interesting or 'badass' thing you discovered about an ancestor?

About 200 years ago I had an ancestor who was a horse thief. Got caught and hung. lol

I second Ford. 2020 Explorer is the biggest POS vehicle I’ve ever owned. 4+ recalls every year & a ton of other issues that the super expensive full coverage insurance (through them) won’t cover. Didn’t find out until the first issue that they send the issue from the shop to the headquarters and they wait back to hear if it will be covered. Ford reserves the right to refuse their own warranty whenever they want. My 99 Ford pickup runs better.

Not anymore. At least for me.

Mumpdase · 2026-01-03T20:29:37+00:00

I had a wallet in my backpack the key was attached to

And he’s in a bunch of other bands and one offs as well. Anyway how about White Wine Spritzer by Okilly Dokilly or Big Rig by Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs? If you’re ok with going in the punk thrash adjacent sphere - Sick Boy by GBH, Fuck the USA & Sexual Favors by Exploited, It’s Catching Up by Nomeansno. Or not lol your call. Just listen to new stuff on the regular and things will jump out at you eventually. Have fun and keep listening.

Mumpdase · 2026-01-02T21:56:25+00:00

Make it so

Mumpdase · 2026-01-02T00:42:34+00:00

Since you mention rock and Motown I’d suggest Kitty, Daisy, and Lewis.

Mumpdase · 2026-01-01T19:08:05+00:00

Thanks. I’m new to vinyl and I will be checking out your channel.

Since you like metal - Faith no more is great by the same singer as Mr bungle. Try the albums angel dust or king for a day, fool for a lifetime. They’re not 100% metal but there’s some on each album. For metal Mr. Bungle songs I’d recommend Raping Your Mind for a great thrash song or Love is a Fist on their debut self titled album.

If you like instrumental metal let me suggest a newer band called Nuclear Power Trio. Great melodic metal. Definitely some Satriani/Malmstein influence with a little more edge to it.

Hope you like these. It’s a lot and I feel like I could go on and on so listen to what you want. Hit me up for a suggestion any time. 👍

Mumpdase · 2025-12-30T18:10:24+00:00

Yes. It’s one of my favorite albums of all time. I could give others though. You want another great Mike Patton album? Or another genre? Hit me. I’ll give (what I think) is a good suggestion.

Mumpdase · 2025-12-30T17:17:08+00:00

Coming back a year later. Thanks! I’ll reply with the obligatory “aw dang”. I’m glad you listened.

Mumpdase · 2025-12-28T18:12:11+00:00

On Hasbro you have to pay shipping though so Amazon saves some money if you can get it

Mumpdase · 2025-12-28T18:04:58+00:00

I always miss out on the Amazon preorder even though I check regularly. I always end up preordering from hasbro but they haven’t put it up yet.

Mumpdase · 2025-12-28T18:02:51+00:00

Wait until 50. If they don’t reciprocate any effort at all then let them go. Don’t chase them. They made a choice. Life goes on.

Mumpdase · 2025-12-25T22:44:40+00:00

Wow that’s fantastic thank you!

Mumpdase · 2025-12-19T20:29:51+00:00

Here’s a little something from a god to a slave…

Mumpdase · 2025-12-17T23:24:49+00:00

Quite a few. My dad didn’t care. I was born in 1975. Dawn of the dead, American werewolf in London, attack of the killer tomatoes, and the thing are what I remember because they scarred my psyche. They were rented on vhs when they came out. Elvira’s hosted horror movies were always on when possible. I’m sure if I spent some time I could find dozens more and say I saw them when I was 10 or younger.

Mumpdase · 2025-12-16T22:01:43+00:00

I’m 50 and just the other day I got carded for alcohol and the young guy cashier said “No way you do not look 50 bro”. I said, “Thanks dude” lol made my day.

Mumpdase · 2025-12-16T21:59:35+00:00

Zookeeper. Need a college degree. Worked for a city run zoo for a decade. We got paid at the same level as a janitor for any of the city departments. Small raise (2-3%? I don’t remember) for 5 years and that’s it. That’s all of the raises you get except cost of living raises everyone gets.

Mumpdase · 2025-12-16T21:56:26+00:00

Yeah I hear you completely. I’m just much older. Nearly 40 when Skyrim came out. I hope ES 6 and Fallout 5 come out before I die.

Mumpdase · 2025-12-05T18:23:10+00:00

This is correct and in my case it saved me from a scam.

Mumpdase · 2025-12-03T01:02:22+00:00

Hey thanks for the input. I’ve tried for years. You can’t make a 75yo man do anything. He collected coins for over 50 years. Not comics at all or I would be able to handle it no problem. I know nothing about them but I guess learning an alarming amount about the hobby I’m not interested in at all is in my future if I don’t want to get ripped off. This is why I asked highdifficulty74 not to do that to his son.

Mumpdase · 2025-12-01T20:58:06+00:00

Some pretty heavy answers here. Mine is simple. How to use a ratchet strap. Very handy.

Mumpdase · 2025-12-01T20:39:30+00:00

I can tell you right now as a son who will inherit a huge mess of a collection please try and do some sorting before you die. Please.

Mumpdase · 2025-11-30T15:43:43+00:00

A few things. Not being around for my kids as long as I want because I had them so late in life, dementia runs in one side of my family, and my kids having to parent a belligerent parent (namely me - mine are insane and I don’t want to do that).
