rather, if we can't launch them. typo kind killed an already unfunny joke, eh?

fuck that noise.
you trust fund kids are so sheltered, I agree if this was on an episode of 7th Heaven or 8 is enough, the lesson would involve that dad being punished for abuse.
Outside of magic tv land though, real dad's like to have fun, which may be potentially dangerous. hell it has to be, safe is not fun.
leave your gated community once in a while suburbanian, this dad could kick your dad's ass.
god I wish he had taped the kid's feet to the board.

You have the angst of a pimply white suburbanite! Rawr!

What ever. Best Dad Ever!

The kid was wearing a helmet and what look like motorcycle leathers? If I was Dad I'd have a fire extinguisher near by and you're good to go.

The kid would probably have been fine save a few first degree burns on his leg, it's the fact that the skateboard was a flaming missile that could have destroyed somebody's house that I was more worried about. Also note near-death of dog.

Your dad probably could kick my dad's ass, as he is 70 years old, but he has an IQ of 165 and he's written like 24 books. So my dad is way cooler.

Baleen... come on. Don't be such a bitch.

The kid was wearing a fuckin' helmet.

LEAVE MEN ALONE.

PS When my dad was a kid, he learned martial arts and got into fights, and then shot arrows into the air just to see how close they could get to his feet. Then, if an arrow hit him, I'm sure he would've just pulled it out and started shooting again. Then he went to Vietnam.

PPS My dad has a higher IQ, put himself through school, and then homeschooled four kids and taught EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US not to be whiners.

Billy being homeschooled explains a lot.

My dad can expand the Wronskian better than your dad.

Seriously. Any dad who would say "sure!" to a kid's request to build a rocket skateboard is awesome

Once when I was about 12 I built a working cannon out of some household materials. As I was sneaking it out of the house with my friends, I walked right into my dad. Busted! I was so terrified that he was going to freak out... instead he was like "wow, will this thing work? let's go fire it off!" Lo and behold it worked very well, and was way more fun since my dad was there to supervise, and we didn't have to hide/run after we fired it off. Cool dads are awesome.

... stabbed me in the leg
... stabbed my leg

He slipped, hit mah thinker.

I think he's trying to save the neighbors' dog, who's in more immediate danger.

This dad is awesome. His kid will grow up to be an ubermensch.

That's funny, I didn't see any burnt son.

Awesome Dad is awesome!

I mean with the kids weight on it... it wouldn't shoot off so fast.
