I wish my father had done this... a ritualistic invitation to view him as a fellow human being with faults, rather than my idealized image of "father" would have been less traumatic than discovering the same person, by mistake, as he vomited his false teeth down the toilet on New Years Day morning.

I witnessed my father come home, crash into the wall, fall over, then vomit. Good times. I haven't quite replicated his technique, but I'm working on it.

I feel like I've missed out on some profoundly important developmental experience.  Dad just read books and worked in his woodshop.  I had to figure out how to do all the incredibly stupid intoxicated things by myself.

:cry:

Fuck.  Dad descended from Scots makes much more sense than the usual version of family history.  This explains quote a bit.

Anyone ever think about how Richter inhabits the same reality as you and just scream and scream and scream, but in a good way?   :lulz:
