Title: Now I'm part of the regime :(
Post by: Martinus on March 27, 2010, 02:09:30 PM
My dad got the Golden Cross of Merit from President Kaczynski for his extraordinary work in restoring antique cars and working for the Polish Automobile Association. :swiss:

Does it make me a part of the establishment? :P

Wow, you know a country is short on accomplishments when you hear things like this.

Anyway, how does the son of a serious car guy grow up to become gay?

Like the time the career 500 pitcher from Curacao got the Dutch equivalent.

Sidney Ponson, that's the dude.

I watched a British documentary in which a guy got medal from the Queen for being an accomplished sheep breeder.

Yes, I must remember to thank those populist tits again for devaluing the honours system even more than it already had been. :glare:

What's particularly unworthy about being an accomplished sheep-breeder?

Reconstructing antique automobiles is more of an art, really and besides, have you ever seen the historical costumes these people wear to their rallies? :P

Considering I was raised by an overbearing borderline-wiccan mother who would read to me Greek myths instead of fairytales; an absentminded father who would emerge from his workshop to scour theatrical prop shops for, say, knee-high ecru argyle socks of the type used in 1920s; and a militantly atheistic grandmother, who would teach me to play chess and take me to the opera and ballet from the age of 5, I am surprised I'm so well adjusted. :D

Why don't you ever bite when I troll?  I guess having a reputation of being a highly intelligent, even-tempered, and reasonable person is not conducive to successfully trolling someone.  :(

No, it makes your dad one of the uncouth masses that has been given a small trinket to make him feel better and the rest of you something to aspire to.
