MLPFC Shit Posting

It's a damn shame this country was founded by Puritans. The commercials could have been soooo much better (i.e. European style). I've never understood either the fascination with or the revulsion from seeing a boob. Grow up, 'Merica.
The younger folks have no idea of how restrictive censorship was in the '50s and early '60s. Every movie had to go through what they called The Legion of Decency, at least in Omaha, which was a board comprised of some nuns, random old maids and ministers. If it offended them, you gone. The '60s cultural revolution wasn't just about hippies, free love and weed and LSD, it was about free speech.

It's always fun to catch the moralizers in compromising situations though. When I was in high school there was big scandal concerning the Muse Theater which was Omaha's first movie house to actually show nudity. Turns out it was the Omaha Archdiocese that owned the land and was essentially the Muse Theater's landlord. Much wailing and gnashing of teeth ensued. Glorious.

My dad graduated high school in 1979, and had never watched a movie that wasn't rated 'G'. Grandma is/was a prude.

My Swedish Farmer Grandparents from Gothenburg = No Cards or dice in the house. (cuz Romans cast lots for Jesus clothes) No drinking, ever. No smoking, ever. No dancing. No swearing, unless working cows. @Woodrow F Call @scotchfrost9697

My German Cowboy Grandparents from Valentine = Have a pack of cards and a pack of smokes on you 24/7 to be polite. No beers in Church until after the sermon. Never trust a man without a vice or one that doesn't swear.

You keep posting about your Gothenburg relatives and we might actually find out we are related. Also, at least up to around 2000, some of your relatives hadn't relaxed those rules all that much. We did teach your cousin to play pitch in high school FFA, though.

My dad's side is all from Gothenburg going back at least 120 years, and he lived there his whole life, too. His mom was half Swede, half German, but their family adopted the Swedish ways. Dad's dad was all German.

In my dad's house growing up, they somehow merged the two schools of thought. Although Swedish Great-Grandma did not seem amused when there was wine at Christmas dinner.

Edit: I still haven't seen hot tub time-machine, so I'm not sure how I could be your dad like @HuskerGarrett suggests.
 
Did any of you Gothenburg people know Phyl Woodburn? He was one of my football assistant coach/teacher.

Nope, maybe my dad did? He's @dead, so can't ask him.

Woodburn is not a common name in Gothenburg, and almost all of the names in Gothenburg are common in Gothenburg. Perhaps a teacher's kid that's parents moved on after he graduated.

on my Dad’s side of the family we have 2 or 3 tables of pitch games going at every family get together

the tension is so high at winners table most don’t even drink during that game

PS: my wife is the worst Pitch partner ever, hooray for me

I'm glad this is in the shit posting thread, because otherwise we'd be derailing a thread about a specific topic.

4, 10, or 11 point?

About sober card playing: Dad took me with all of his buddies to a grouse hunting trip around Thedford/Halsey when I was a freshman in high school. I'd never played poker previously, but after they'd all played poker and drank for hours, my dad loaned me a dollar in nickels to join. 25 cent anty per hand, 25 cent max raise.

This sober 15 year old came home with almost $100! And also, a lot of hate from all of my dad's drunken buddies.

Edit: If your wife is that bad, at least you don't have to play at the sober table. So, while not a win-win, at least it's not a lose-lose.

Phyl died too. Short fat guy with bozo the clown hair and talked with a lisp. He was really a nice guy though. We were too hard on him.
