[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Teppy, I hope they figure out was is wrong with your dad soon so that he can feel better.
The latest update is that they think it's an enlarged prostate (not unusual in a 64-year-old man) that's been untreated for long enough that the pain spread. Easy enough to treat with drugs (if prostatitis is, in fact, what it is).
And I got the fun of hearing my dad say "prostate." After he first mis-pronounced it as "prostrate," making me think of badfic writers everywhere.
That reminds me of a recent debate I had over the spelling of come/cum. With a 15 year old.
I'm going to hell.
The same 15 year old that dubbed it "The Nawty Worm"?
Why would badf...
I never asked it. Never.
Teppy, I hope they can provide your dad with some relief, and that the diagnosis is correct.

I'm probably going to hell for thinking it would be fun to watch Hugh Laurie have that conversation.
My Dad mispronounces lots and lots and LOTS of words, and I feel like the Worst Daughter EVAR that, after 34 years, I still cringe every. single. time. Yesterday he was reading me what was written on his iv bag (sodium chloride 0.45%), and he read it as sodium chloroform, and insisted 3 times that that was what it said.
I'm going to hell for thinking "The dad from Wonder Years??" everytime someone mentions Hugh Laurie.
askye, you can totally make it, because you are Teh Awesome.
{{{{{sj}}}}} Oh, you poor thing! I'm glad Dave and your mom are able to be there for you.
Fay! Love hearing the job search updates - it sounds so exotic.
Nora, good luck on the decision. A day sounds excessive, but I'm lazy like that.

oh I have that with my dad too. I don't just cringe but I often correct him in a super-exasperated tone of voice. It makes me crazy (both him doing it and my reaction). I somehow think that if he just tries hard enough he'll be able to pronounce things like a normal person.

I'm thinking your dad might have bigger problems than the alien baby if he's right.
