kinda funny, but kinda fucked up...

Okay, so I'm watching the Reese Witherspoon interview on Jay Leno and she's talking about her daughter's first day of school and how it was harder on her (Reese) than it was her daughter, Ava. And that the teacher basically had to scoot Reese out of the school to the car

Ted Nugent is a cool fucking guy.

My dad, the NRA lifer ran into him at an NRA convention a couple years back, and called me all exicted, said someone wanted to say hi, and then put on Uncle Ted.

If you ever get a chance, see him perform. It's worth it for the comedy value.

[vivalasvegas44]

lol, he was supposed to come to my brother's wedding, but he had obligations to perform at the Alaska State Fair that weekend (haha). So unfortunately Ted didn't make it. He did invite the couple to be over for dinner a few nights prior. My brother has gone hunting with his father-in-law and Ted many a time. My brother's father-in-law is a hunting guide for celebrities in Alaska...that's what he actually does for a living...if you can believe that!

Needless to say, I'm a big ol' bleeding heart Democrat, so I'm not exactly the biggest of Ted fans (or Republicans for that matter, despite the fact both my brother and his wife are about the most conservative people you will ever meet in your life...ever).

Why in the hell are you up so late? Or are you guys an hour behind us?

[mitsu99]

No, 3 hours behind.

And I'm reading.

"...many of you who have older siblings (particularly older brothers) can relate to what douchebags they are..."

I didn't appreciate this until I wound up with an older stepbrother.

I'd like to think his douchebaggery reduced the amount of douchebaggery that went from me to my younger brother and half-brother, but really, in all honestly, it probably magnified it.

Shit rolls downhill, after all, and as it does, it gathers speed.

[vivalasvegas44]

Yeah, I can agree with that. Most of my younger cousins endured the wrath bestowed upon me by my older (douchebag) brother.

Yet, it's amazing how well we get along now as adults. He's still got a certain element of doucheyness, though.

I'm glad I was the youngest, otherwise I couldn't have pulled the "I'm just a baaaaby!" card.

My big brother used me as a wrestling dummy. I have a high pain tolerance now. mmmhmm.

Also, Reese Witherspoon's little girl is a) her clone, and b) fricking ADORABLE.

[vivalasvegas44]

Oh, so you can totally relate. Yes, not only was I the punching bag, but he used to pick me up by the neck and he put me in the dryer and turned it on once!

[nishapooh]

wow, good story! yeah, i can definitely see how your childhood made you so independent. and i guess i'm lucky that i was the eldest, and didn't have a douchebag older brother.

[vivalasvegas44]

Well, in this particular instance, you've got the whole douchebag older brother thing, but then the mother who actually listens when you claim to want to ride the bus to school by yourself...what mother does that!?

Even if my 5-year-old demanded to take the bus (which I'm not doubting I did, it sounds like something I would do, I was a very independent child, ffs!), I sure as shit wouldn't let him/her! Kindergarten is a scary place on the first day!

I'm the "older brother".

Our cool points drop by like, 50 everytime we have to hang out with our little brothers and sisters. It can be embaressing. We have to keep an image, ya know?

[vivalasvegas44]

I was 5! It was my first day of school...ever!

[bobswar]

...and?

We can't be brought down by 5 year olds. Image is everything.

:p
