    That phone # is for a Denny’s in LA too.

    “Hi, can you teach my daughter to long hair?”

    “Sir, this is a Denny’s.”

        Never have I heard someone quite as well capture the appropriate sound to make when you’ve achieved “yeah sex is great but have ya…” for gushing over all the specs that make something you’re showing off so awesome.

        It works for cars, it works for stereo systems, it works for a new smoothie blender, it even works for the wildly unhealthy recipe you invented that’s dripping the most decadent yet delicious shit you could cram into it before serving it to your friends like you make Gordon Ramsey look like a Killer Cook.

          Maybe, but have you ever heard anyone else do it? Would YOU do it? If you heard a friend excitedly Tim Allen grunt, would you ever really look at them the same?

        Blue used to be for girls as it was seen as more “dainty,” while pink used to be associated with boys as it was seen as the stronger color. It didn’t change until the 1950s when some big advertising campaigns pushed pink as a feminine color exclusively for girls.

          Red was the manly color, it was seen as regal. So light red (pink) was the color of the boys. Blue was the color of the virgin Mary and light blue used for femal children.

            Purple is usually what’s considered the royal colour.

            https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple

            Purple has long been associated with royalty, originally because Tyrian purple dye—made from the secretions of sea snails—was extremely expensive in antiquity.

            Basic reds, not as much, but yes. The brighter, the more royal.

            I… I don’t think that’s the reason why.

            Pink isn’t sort of actually a colour. Well, it is, but there’s no wavelength of light that corresponds to pink. We perceive pink when we see a certain combination of wavelengths together (red and purple.)

    Man I should offer lessons on adulting. Lesson 1, nobody is doing it well, everyone is faking. Lesson 2, we’re all jealous that you’re still a child, milk that shit. Lesson 3, stop listening to old man complain, go have fun.

    I think that’s worth a hundred dollars right?

    This seems like a trap of some sort and people in general shouldn’t be left alone with either of them individually or at the same time.

      Yeah, If I had kids, I would keep them as far away as possible from these people.

      I’m no doctor, but that man is absolutely experiencing some kind of steroid-induced mania.

      Otherwise, if it’s not real, it’s an excellent shitpost.

      Someone reported that the number is for an L.A.'s Denny’s. As if the “pink” wasn’t a flag that it was a joke.

    Whats funny to me is people who want for their kids something they see inadequate in themselves. Like obviously as a man you can’t teach your kids to be a man then you must not know how…

      I kinda feel like that’s the entirety of good parenting. Some things have higher or lower priorities, but ideally, I want my children to be more competent than me in everything I know how to do and more.

        I see that as a recipe for failure. Expectations are fine but when you expect for from someone else than you do yourself. Well that hypocrisy and will lead to either hate or neroticism. Every parent should just want their kids to be happy.

    I’d like to know what happens if someone signs onto both lessons.

    I have a feeling they wouldn’t appreciate it.
