Okay, downvote away...

that's my dad

edit: Proof

[–]Skvid 12 points13 points ago

Did he read a book on how to pose for this picture as well?

[–]fattymccheese 6 points7 points ago

the cover is misleading, I think it was a book on how to get reposted on reddit.. very meta

[–]dangerRAMEN 0 points1 point ago

How often does he get told he looks like John Cleese?

[–]wbrycem 12 points13 points ago

[–]little_gnora 28 points29 points ago

NASA Hat FTW!

[–]FOR_SClENCE 11 points12 points ago

He was undoubtedly watching a Shuttle launch.

[–]little_gnora 4 points5 points ago

It is my biggest regret in life that I never got to see one in person. :(

[–]benisnotapalindrome 1 point2 points ago

Saw them on the pad twice but never saw one launch. I'm :'( too buddy.

[–]dangerRAMEN 0 points1 point ago

It's definitely a cool experience. I lived a couple miles from Kennedy Space Center, so I'd see them from my bedroom window (and feel them). There is a park across the lake from the launch pad that I used to play at while waiting for them to go up. It was pretty awesome. I was always interested in space and space travel. Lived off John Glenn boulevard and went to Challenger 7 Elementary for a bit. Haha.

[–]pip_pip_cheerio -3 points-2 points ago

Cheer up! There's still time!

[–]little_gnora 4 points5 points ago

Uh, no there's not. The USA no longer has a shuttle program.

The USA barely has a space program at all. If we want to go to space we have to pay the Russians about $60 million a pop to get us there. To the space station we built.

[–]pip_pip_cheerio 0 points1 point ago

Right, but if you've always wanted to see a shuttle launch before you died, would it not be worth going for a trip?

[–]little_gnora 1 point2 points ago*

The Russians use rockets, not shuttles.

If I want to see a rocket I will go in my back yard, look towards town and see this. Also, the idea of the Russian government letting an civilian American anywhere close to their launches in laughable.

Edit: Not trying to be a Debby-Downer here, just trying to properly explain why I lament never going to a shuttle launch.

[–]pip_pip_cheerio 1 point2 points ago

Well I'm just trying to be a Positive-Patty here and say that the space program will one day be reinstated. I'm sorry if the time span isn't do-able for you, and I sincerely mean that.

[–]sk3lt3r 0 points1 point ago

For a second I thought that was in Ottawa. Brain, wake the fuck up.

[–]fattymccheese 0 points1 point ago

it got canceled... he tried to catch 4 launches.. they all got postponed

[–]TheMSPaintKing 6 points7 points ago

This reminds me of those book gags on American Dad

[–]vecnyj 0 points1 point ago

I was about to say that!

[–]NetherDude 11 points12 points ago

Nailed it

[–]agolho 2 points3 points ago

i think he got it. even though he didn't finished the book

[–]Odusei 12 points13 points ago

Of course he finished reading the book, that's how he knows to hold the book open to that page while posing.

[–]Cory1750 3 points4 points ago

I'm not understanding why there is a Dr Seuss logo in the corner...

[–]bonelover 1 point2 points ago

That hat ties the whole picture together

[–]TheArmadiloWhisperer 1 point2 points ago

What's on the book that the guy on the book is reading??? I think a black hole just opened

[–]a101kl 1 point2 points ago

They dont think it be like it is...but it do

[–]Siestasam 1 point2 points ago

laughed hard

[–]white_gorilla 1 point2 points ago

Probably because its hilarious

[–]rederick55 1 point2 points ago

I think he's doing it right

[–]Bring_dem 1 point2 points ago

Dry. But perfect.

[–]OatmealPowerSalad 1 point2 points ago

Ah, early Fark photoshop contest entry, it's been half a decade. We meet again.

[–]yeathl 1 point2 points ago

I will ALWAYS upvote postmodern, self-referencial, and subtly redundant humor!

[disclaimer: wrote my thesis on postmodern dance during the 60's. I am NOT... I repeat, NOT a hipster!]

[–]SangamonTaylor 1 point2 points ago

People don't think it be like it is, but it do.

[–]Topsiders 1 point2 points ago

Not one repost comment leads me to believe...i'm fucking old.

[–]etan_causale 1 point2 points ago

[–]fattymccheese 1 point2 points ago

oh that's good!

[–]Failcomplete 0 points1 point ago

I don't know why you do either.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

It's hilarious because that guy up near the blue awning is totally pissing on the BBQ.

[–]HSoup 0 points1 point ago

It's impressive because he's only half way though the book, and he's got it down.

[–]skyman3322 0 points1 point ago

what was he looking at from afar, with those binoculars?

[–]callmeWia 0 points1 point ago

Damn, I wish I had a photo this cool.

[–]greenmntnboy410 0 points1 point ago

haven't laughed that hard since I was a little girl

[–]korkyshadow 0 points1 point ago

Nailed it.

[–]RickRossovich 0 points1 point ago
