Cartoon Rerun no on will watch-Ep 24

by | Jul 10, 2024 | Hat and Hair | 87 comments

I’m going on ‘vacation’ to ‘celebrate’ my dad being dead for 10 years. I still cry just seeing a picture of him. Here is a cartoon you won’t watch. Go watch reruns of American Gladiators instead.

    I’m sorry to hear about that unfortunately-named ‘anniversary.’ Hope you find the best respite possible.

  2. R.J.

    “That which is not expressly allowed is forbidden.”
    That didn’t even work on my twelve year old.

    And yes, I watched the whole thing.

    • Don escaped Texas

      I watched the whole thing

      my dad turns 84 this fall; I see my parents twice most weeks now that I’m back from a couple of decades in the desert

    • Chafed

      I hope that doesn’t make you no one.

      • R.J.

        I am no one of consequence, as I have said before.

  3. Brochettaward

    American Gladiators was badass.

    • R.J.

      I have a friend who did pre-game testing of their set pieces. He finally found a bad one and broke his ankle.

  4. Chafed

    Condolences on the anniversary of your father’s death, CPRM.

    • R.J.

      Condolences from here as well. It’s been about 11 years for me.

  5. Old Man With Candy

    40 years for me losing my dad and ditto.

  6. Tundra

    I actually love these reruns.

    And I’m glad you are doing something to celebrate dad. You are a good son.

  7. Old Man With Candy

    And we need more Cracky promo to gin up interest in the merch.

    • Gender Traitor

      We can make plush Cracky this holiday season’s Hot Toy!

    • rhywun

      That is wack.

  8. Q Continuum

    My dad is getting up there in years, still sharp as a tack but I dread the inevitable.

    • Tundra

      Same. 82 and a beast. Still playing golf several times a week (no cart), but there are signs.

      Mom is way worse. When they were here in May I was a little freaked out. But I guess this is where we are.

      • Tundra

        Oh, and I was in your neighborhood last weekend. Got some ridiculously good ice cream at Lolley’s.

      • kinnath

        My father is 88 1/2. We play golf every week. But we ride.

      • ZWAK came for the two-fisted tentacle-fighting, stayed for the crushing existential nihilism.

        My mom is doing great at 80. No fears there, I just cannot stand her husband.

        All the rest are dead, dad, father in law, mother in law.

    • R.J.

      The guns aren’t illegal. People illegally possess them. And even that law is constitutionally wrong.
      That said…
      Is that Ruger a 38 special? WTF is that? And did Ruger make it like that?

      • Rat on a train

        Deport those guns back to where they came from.

    • Ted S.

      Who doesn’t want to get turquoise illegals off the streets?

    • R.J.

      Ha!
      And yes, CenterPoint Energy is a pile of crap. They are responsible for this mess.

      • dbleagle

        Bravo! Both to Whataburger and the person who put that use out to the larger world.

  9. whahappan

    I’m actually commenting! I would also like to convey my sympathies on this anniversary. And I succumbed to your trickery and watched the video also!

    • Gustave Lytton

      Welcome! (Fuck off Tulpa!)

      • R.J.

        I second this motion.

        “Welcome fellow Tulpa. I too, and a Tulpa.”

    • Evan from Evansville

      Welcome, welcome!

      I may as well offer this Tulpa a bit of modest grace…

  10. Gustave Lytton

    Back out on the road after a year. Not looking so good. The covid cutbacks and cost cutting are permanent now. Hotel tonight has Michalob Ultra and “an ipa” on tap, which do not match the handles.

  11. ZWAK came for the two-fisted tentacle-fighting, stayed for the crushing existential nihilism.

    Yeah, dad died back during Covid. Sucked, but I said screw it, and went down anyway. Got to spend a couple days with him, even though he was pretty far gone. I didn’t care though. Also, his wife took such good care of him, I still go and see her.

  12. Gdragon

    I’m really sorry CPRM. I don’t know if it ever gets any easier. I pretty much left this site after my dad died.

    And now with my mother’s death I have returned. One should never expect a second Tulpa-ing so I already gave myself a “Fuck you!”. But I’m glad to be back.

    • Evan from Evansville

      We’re thrilled to see ya ’round, again. Dad is 74 and fit as hell, but showing mental decline. Mom is 70 and as well as can be.

      I’m only 37 and hope family history brings them ~`15-20+ more. My 11, 9 and 4 year-old nephews will keep us all goin’.

    • KK, Plump & Unfiltered

      Sorry to hear, Gdragon

      • Gdragon

        Thanks KK. She was the best. She lived for over 10 years on 24 hour oxygen though (and put up with my dad for 7 of those), that’s legendary stuff. But it seems like you always think that you’re gonna have just a little bit more time than you do.

  13. Mojeaux

    There is a urologist in Illinois named Dr. Leak.

    I… No. Just, no.

    • Sensei

      Your in trouble.

      • Sensei

        Sigh iPad. You’re

      • R.J.

        As word of his skill dribbles out, he should have a steady stream of customers.

      • Gdragon

        In 1988 sprinter Ben Johnson’s house was about a 3 minute walk from my family home. When he was stripped of the Olympic gold medal there was obviously a huge crowd outside of his house for a few nights as the press waited for him. One night a truck kept driving back and forth with these big fat Jamaican women in the back of it who were screaming “Ben! Ben! It’s not your yureen!!!!! They tested the wrong bottle! It’s not your yurrrreeeeeeeeeeeeennn!!!!!!”

        Once they realized that the women meant to say “urine” both of my parents thought that this was the funniest thing ever. For the next 30+ years all I had to do to get a laugh from either one of them was just mention it.

      • Rat on a train

        Shouldn’t it be “urine trouble”?

    • R.J.

      I just named a doctor “Dr. Asshat” after he screwed up the scheduling for my father in law’s surgery. I lost three days helping to straighten out the mess. Sadly I cannot have that changed in the phone book.

      Please tell me you get to transcribe for Dr. Leak.

      • Mojeaux

        Please tell me you get to transcribe for Dr. Leak.

        He was referenced in a dictation by a different PP doctor.

    • Q Continuum

      There was a dentist in my hometown named Dr. Hurt.

      Seemed like he could have chosen a different career path.

    • UnCivilServant

      What is it about primates recklessly raising animals that will kill them?

      *side-eyes other humans*

    • UnCivilServant

      That question requires a lot of definitions, and sounds like troll bait.

      What is meant by “Authentically” how does one measure it objectively?

    • Gustave Lytton

      *hears Keith Morrison narration voice in head, about yet another tragedy*

      …yeah…

    First early morning Ive had to do here in Kentucky. Work is done, now to do some administrative stuff I guess.

    Condolences to CPRM on the loss of your dad.

    My dad was the “baby” of his family so had watched all his siblings succumb to Alzheimer’s.

    When it was his turn, we did eventually have to put him in a “home” but despite the fact that it was a VA memory care home, it was wonderful and he seemed to enjoy every day until a cardio vascular “event” plus Covid ushered him away from this existence.

    I filled in for mom as his “widow” for all the military funeral and burial in 2020.

    I was both devastated and proud at the same time.

    Good job, soldier.

  16. hayeksplosives

    Thanks for all the well wishes this morning for my little medical predicament.

    I did end up going to the ER, and the doc who saw me said I’d absolutely done the right thing by coming in instead of waiting for a primary care appointment in late September.

    So she pulled strings and fast tracked me to a mammogram next week and already referred me to her favorite breast surgeon.

    Wish me luck! 🍀

    • Sean

      Good luck.

    • mindyourbusiness

      Hope for a good resolution. If good thoughts will help, you’ve got ’em.

      • hayeksplosives

        Can’t hurt! Thanks.

      “There should be some room for compromise and meeting and discussing to fully encapsulate the needs of what Philadelphia workers need,” District 33 Council President Greg Boulware said.

      Come in to work or be fired. The compromise is that you get to make that choice.

    • Rat on a train

      Let us tax the suburbs and we will stop pushing for a return to office.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      On one hand I sympathize because those offices are in Philly and who the hell wants to go there? On the other hand, GET BACK TO WORK!!!

      Good morning, homey! Are you over the ick that you had, whatever it was?

  18. hayeksplosives

    Wow. Feels good to be out in a cool breeze after days of stifling heat ( most of Washington state doesn’t have air conditioning).

    Soothes the soul.

      • hayeksplosives

        Well, most of the time it’s not an issue in the PAC Northwest. But for about 2 weeks, it can be bad.

        I have a Shark fan at home that is the best fan evah! But at work in the big lab space, we got nuthin but heat.

    • rhywun

      I can’t believe I lived in upstate NY for ~25 years and never had AC.

      Now I live in upstate NY again and my AC has been running for eight or nine days straight.

      I *just* turned it off – the humidity is the usual gross but at least the temp is a crisp 73.

      Global warming blows.
