# "Father?"
my daughter just asked,
"When you are dead, can you cut the skin off your arms so that I can have your tattoos as a picture for ever?"

Fucking scary 4 year old.

# that is fucking creepy
which kids call their dad "father"
(I helped save b3ta! Tom OBedlam I have control of a tank, Sun 13 Jul 2008, 19:38, archived)
# My two eldest do.
The youngest calls me 'Dada' but then she'd only just turned 1.

At school the eldest calls me 'Dad' because she is embarrassed.

# Mine keeps saying
"Please sir, I beg of you. Please don't send me away."

It's only fucking school you urchin, we all did it.

# Jim forbade me getting them to call me 'Sir'.
Father is fine.

I call my mother 'Mother' and my Father 'Man'.

My children call him 'Old Man'.

I just want a good military school for him but it's 4 years off yet.

# It's only natural in your teens to be radical in some aspect or another
I find generally people tend to grasp life with a bit more comprehension and experience once they've lived a little and soaked up a few years, in the wider perspective; regardless of their political leanings

Which is what makes me chuckle when I think back on me doing exactly what you just said as a teen or a student, getting all worked up about this "unfair; unjust society" in some aspect or another, talking loudly about life in pubs as if I knew all about it, when to be honest I hadn't lived or realistically experienced life at all and was still at school

Given what i've gone through, I would have appreciated being sent to the public school to be honest, the comprehensive system is a nice idea, but you can't really learn if you are surrounded by fuckwits being brought up by fuckwits; and life is a one ticket journey

but I want mine to board.

I did and I turned out, well, I'm sure that they will be okay.

# I have looked into the legality of this.
I was considering having my innards burned so that Jim can have a proper funeral for me, but having myself stuffed.

I wonder if I could sell myself in advance?

# That is illegal,
but having me taxidermied is fine.

I was going to donate myself to my friend Derron, but it has since become clear that, hideous accident aside, I am going to outlive him.

Legality aside, Tom, who is terminally ill, has requested a quite illegal 'burning barge at sea', which I will try not to get arrested when I do.

# My father has recently informed me
of his decision to leave his cadaver to Manchester university for medical research. He's extremely anti-theist and wants to make sure that there is no possibility of a fraudulent god-botherer presiding over a meaningless ceremony and this I agree with. But when he actually signed the papers and asked for my 'blessing' as it were, I could not give it and we've had quite an argument about it.
I just don't want to think of grubby medical students ( who as with most students have no respect or morals ) slowly dissecting my father over 3 years and then for me to receive a letter informing me that they burned him ( which is the process ). If I find him first when he croaks I have told him he's going to the peat bog and fuck his wishes and the authorities.

# I don't care what happens to his corpse
as long as it is dealt with. Same for myself. I just don't think that there is any dignity or use in it. I don't think that he really understands the implications of it and believes he might be a part of some great and helpful medical breakthrough rather than as a slab of meat for hungover wannabe surgeons to practice cutting up and take the piss out of.

i'd prefer to be a part of the bodyworks exhibition though
