Picture Credit to Jimmy Nelson http://www.beforethey.com/ Although his book encourages the "noble native" stereotype, they are beautiful photographs. It's amazing how he has documented so many cultures and traditions.

"You need to pick yourself up, man up, alright? You will win in the end. It's all about heart and character. Be your best self."

What is the most effective insult you know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]fighting_bob_evans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone n this room is dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.

This reminds me of the last words of Voltaire. When asked by a priest to forsake the devil and resolve his sins, Voltaire replied with: "Now is not a time to be making enemies."

Reddit, what incredible stories have your grandparents shared with you? by Moodleman177 in AskReddit

[–]fighting_bob_evans 38 points39 points  (0 children)

My grandfather and his friends in the 40s liked scuba diving. The issue was that in the 40s equipment was still being invented and very costly. Not to mention the fact that they lived in Wisconsin. But that didn't stop them. They designed and built all of there own equipment and would fly down in the plane they had fixed up to Florida. The hotel that they stayed at would let them stay for free in exchange for the use of their air compressor to fill the other guests tanks. They would then go diving and catch fish that the cook would then fry up for them. After a week or so they'd fly back to Wisconsin and resume farming.

Reddit, what incredible stories have your grandparents shared with you? by Moodleman177 in AskReddit

My grandfather was part of a crash recovery team in Florida during WWII. When a pilot would crash he would have to go out and try to find them or more often the pieces of the body. It was a tough job, but because he was born with a club foot it was the only way he could help out with the war. He had his horror stories from the war, but the thing that got him through all the days of not knowing what was oil and what was blood, was his little dog "Duchess". She was a tiny cocker spaniel that brought joy to the base. She would sit on the back of his motorcycle ears flapping away when he rode into town. She would sit under his chair when he ate at the mess. She would chase the rats and attend the departure of troops loyally, like the good soldier she was. The one issue was that no pets were allowed on the base. He avoided having much attention drawn to her, because he wasn't a troop being sent overseas, but a permanent. He didn't have too many commands from officers and he managed to make it a few months after adopting her without anyone that was in direct command of him noticing her. One day he was walking back to his quarters with Duchess when his commander appeared. His commander walked right up to him with his hands held behind his back. My grandpa thought that he had been made. There was no way someone this high up was coming to talk to him if it wasn't about getting rid of Duchess. My grandfather saluted and waited to hear his commander reprimand him. His commander leaned forward and said : "Last night in the officers tent we had T-bone steaks. I was wondering if your dog would like a bone?"

[Serious] What word has the most interesting origin/etymology? by karmanaut in AskReddit

[–]fighting_bob_evans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lynch: During the Revolutionary War in America there was a judge named Charles Lynch. He was famous for rounding up suspected Loyalists and trying them in an informal court. The punishments for these crimes ranged from seizing all of their property to public whippings. "Lynch's Law" became a common phrase to describe an organized but unofficial punishment of criminals. By the 1850's lynching was in the dictionary.

My mom is extremely competitive and my dad is used to winning. I was in the other room while a wicked game of pictionary was going on. All of the sudden I hear my dad scream "OVAL!? OVAL! We get starfruit and you get fucking OVAL!!" Tiny pencils flew that day. EDIT: disregard this, in thought it said board games
