my grandpa was a window salesman/wannabe con man who had like six wives and gambled away all his money, then leaving his 6 children with his elderly immigrant mother who didn't speak english. after they were teenagers he came back with another wife. he also joined the army after korea for the GI bill benefits and got the gently caress out when he heard of rumblings in vietnam. he's completely broke and depends on my dad, social security and tricare to live.

he's a pretty cool dude, though. a much much better grandfather than he was a father apparantly

My grandpa used to make 2 holes in the ground then say ones my assholw and the others a hole in the ground and then ask me which one was my rear end in a top hat. If I answered hed grab my rear end and tell i was wrong and thats my rear end in a top hat. He was a creepy old man, and from what my dad says, A huge rear end in a top hat.

"That’s cheating! You know the rules: once you sacrifice something here, you don’t get it back!"

My grandpa was nearly crushed by a burning hot air balloon. He ran away and the hot air balloon was descending behind him and he kept running and it kept coming down diagonally behind him and he was faced with this horrible decision of whether to dive forward or leap back and hope it went over his head or to roll to the side but he couldn't judge the perspective so he just kept running and the hot air balloon crashed like an inch behind him and then the actual balloon part kept coming down and he had to run a bit more.

He survived and was so happy that he went home and had a go on my mee-maw and my mother was conceived.

My paternal grandpa stayed at home during WW2 and designed the intensive forestry techniques required to replant them all through the UK after they were decimated over the course of the war.

My other grandpa was the worlds biggest misogynist and believed that women weren't deserving of names and called them all the same name - varying it weekly.

My grandfather helped reverse-engineer the Me-262's jet engines after the war, and worked with Von Braun on adapting the V-2. Von Braun was a frequent dinner guest when my father was a child. My grandfather went on to work on Apollo program and the engines of the SR-71.

His favorite hobby was counting cards at Blackjack in Indian casinos.

My grandpa was a greaser dude in the 50s and got kicked out of high school. He joined the navy, and when he got back, he became a teacher.

He quickly worked his way up the school board food chain and eventually became the boss of the principal who kicked him out of high school.

Since I'm old as gently caress my grandpa was in WW1. He was at the Somme for a week or so, when a big German shell exploded near him and buried him alive. Some guys saw his foot sticking out of the dirt and dug him out, and he was sent back to England to recuperate, where he started banging his nurse. He eventually married her though, and brought her back home with him, and they produced our family.


My dad got to sit in Goering's big chair in his office after the war, but everyone was taking turns doing that.

I never met one as he died 15 years before I was born, and the other was a drunk that never bothered to visit us (even at xmas, he'd rather drink and fish (which sounds p sweet now that i think about it)) and my dad hated him anyway so yeah.

In fact my extended family is pretty retarded in general, so is my immediate but the extended is just on another level of dysfunction.

My grandpa is long dead but he was an Atlanta cop during the 1960s. He drove the paddy wagon during the Civil Rights movement so he arrested many famous people and even threw some out of second story windows. He taught me how to break someone's pinky. I inherited his police revolver and his pump action .22 rifle.

My maternal grandfather was a WWII Marine who fought on Iwo Jima. He can't wiggle his pinky toe because of an incident when him and some buddies were hunting land crabs with machetes. He was a full-bird Colonel by the time he left the military.

My paternal grandfather flew cargo planes in the ETO, often transporting copies of Stars and Stripes. He gave a general a lift one time and the dude was so impressed he took my grandfather on as his personal pilot. He also has some cool photos he took of Mount Vesuvius(I think) erupting.

My grandad almost got killed in 1945 by advancing Partisans because of his German surname. Luckily, one of them recognized him, vouched for him and gave him a sweet German Mauser that I still have to this day.
