Chat conversation with my RW dad.....

Dad: New series on 12/21/12 "Countdown to Apocalypse" on channel 116. Check it out.

Me: not interested.

Dad: too bad, you might learn something.

Me: I will watch if you promise to give me $1000 on 12/22/2012 when we are still here. Deal? What have you got to lose?

Dad: you're stupid. Not a bet I want to win. It was just an fyi. I wont bother you again.

Me: calm down and watch the Pitt basketball game. The world isn't going to end next month.

Dad: you need to quit being so closed minded.

On a brighter note, it seems to have shocked the other two back to some semblance of reality.
