    My uncle isn’t cool, and I’m guessing suicide is not an option at this point, but he did dodge the draft for Vietnam by going to Canada. So respect to him for that.

      Best thing I probably ever did with my life was gently point my nephew in a good direction, even his dad who isn’t my relative and was the one who raised him said I was his hero. He’s kicked ass at life and about to go to a prestigious university. He’s also old enough to know I’m a fucking loser now…
