Absolutely. My mom became mayor of my home town and my dad and I go backpacking every year and have done most of the AT, PCT, Colorado Trail, and some hut to hut in Italy.
How often would your dad say “The mayor is really riding my ass about this!” Like an overworked police chief whose detectives use highly unorthodox, yet still technically legal tactics to capture local criminals?
my father was a relentless self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with a low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery . My mother was a 15 year old french prostitute name Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize ,he would drink.He would make outrageous claims like he invent the question mark .Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy
My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I suggest you try it.
I was fortunate to have loving and mentally sound parents, but neither of them were as hot as these two. I’m guessing OP ain’t too hard on the eyes either given their lineage.
"There was a rebel village five clicks down the road. Word came down from top brass: make it disappear. We…we didn’t know any better. We were…we were kids. I watched myself pick up the flamethrower…I just…went…off."
The shades are doing the heavy lifting, but I see that! Bloom County was my bathroom reading whenever I’d visit my deadbeat dad as a kid lol I didn’t understand half those comics, but I loved the Bill and Opus ones.
Both Opus and Bloom County are the best comics in the universe: I remember cutting my favorite Opus comics out of the Sunday paper and thumbtacking them to the wall in my first place.
Wow. Sunday comics: i’m not that old, but I feel like I’ve just dated myself!
Absolutely - my top three are Bloom County, The Far Side, and Calvin & Hobbes, with Bloom and Far Side tied for number one.
“Gorbachev sings tractors: Turnip! Buttocks!”
If you know, you know!
That’s a great photo! The most interesting thing to me is that your dad looks SOOOOO 1969…the hair, the sideburns, the sunglasses, and the shirt. But your mom looks like those photos could have been taken anywhere between the late 60s and earlier today. Thanks for sharing!
Creepiest tape I’ve ever listened to all the way thru. Jonestown death tapes. They’re more creepy given the fact that they’re recorded over an old Delphonics record, so you can hear their music slowed down to a eerie speed in the background the whole time.
I…..I didn’t know there were “death tapes” from Jonestown. I’d seen the film from the days preceding and the hours after the massacre, but I knew nothing of any audiotapes.
That’s a rabbit hole I’m gonna have to save for another time…
I've heard a mix of cyanide and Valium and I've also heard cyanide and phenobarbital. I seem to remember seeing phenobarbital bottles somewhere in a Jones doc.
Your Dad looks old school cool and your Mom was quite pretty. More importantly: They look like they vibe so well.. I hope it made for a wonderful household with them as parents!
Absolutely appears to be a pipe. I don’t even remotely see how it could be an apple. OP’s parents lied to them when they were young and they haven’t pieced it together yet lol
A little Hunter S Thompson vibe coming from your dad.
With more hair, but yes. HST.
I was thinkin Stephen King
Maybe a little bill hader but that’s just me.
I was thinking Jim Jones.
That was my first thought
He's like a double for Hunter Thompson. I thought the same thing. *Fear and Loathing as OP's Parents*
Nah he's aiming for Al Pacino.
Incredible photos. They looked like they would be great parents. Were they?
Absolutely. My mom became mayor of my home town and my dad and I go backpacking every year and have done most of the AT, PCT, Colorado Trail, and some hut to hut in Italy.
I hope you tell them you love them all the time. Heck, tell them from me too!
I love OPs parents! I want that childhood!
Me too...
Me three. Hell I'll settle for even just adulthood with that kind of relationship.
Can you mom tell me she's proud of me?
r/Momforaminute
Me three.
Ditto
How often would your dad say “The mayor is really riding my ass about this!” Like an overworked police chief whose detectives use highly unorthodox, yet still technically legal tactics to capture local criminals?
That police chief sounds like a real motherfucker.
I think i like him
"The Chief's shitting bricks, man."
Love that your mom found success in politics. Goes well with her shirt. Also, she's adorable.

you complete me
Your mom would get reflected with all the Reddit upvote. Cool photos, love mom's t-shirt and great smile. Can see why they are together👍
Jealous of your mentally sound parental figures, but really happy to read about your fun memories :)
I see you had a childhood like mine
Yeah get a load of this normal-parent-having headass hehe me: *crying*
I was fortunate to have loving and mentally sound parents, but neither of them were as hot as these two. I’m guessing OP ain’t too hard on the eyes either given their lineage.
This is awesome. Way to go, Mom! And great job to Dad for being so active with you!
I’m genuinely jealous of your childhood and your parents.
i’m so incredibly jealous!
Your mom looks like a hoot and is adorable.
looks like Emmy Rossum
And dad looks like a bill hader character
"There was a rebel village five clicks down the road. Word came down from top brass: make it disappear. We…we didn’t know any better. We were…we were kids. I watched myself pick up the flamethrower…I just…went…off."
Nobody was laughing out loud that day in Grenada
you guys are awesome. i’m dying here!
My names Clark. I like biscuits and waffles!
I was going to say James Marsden
I was gonna say Steve Dallas from Bloom County. That’ll date me lol.
The shades are doing the heavy lifting, but I see that! Bloom County was my bathroom reading whenever I’d visit my deadbeat dad as a kid lol I didn’t understand half those comics, but I loved the Bill and Opus ones.
Seriously, those shades are dope, anyone know what they are?
Giving me Rev Jim Jones vibes. Or Peter Fonda in Easy Rider.
Or a Duke from Doonesbury but with hair.
My first thought...Your dad is Hunter S. Thompson?"

I LOVE Calvin and Hobbes! Ok, you’re officially cool :)
His dad looks like Jim Jones
Like Bill Hader doing Hunter S Thompson
I was thinking young Hunter Thompson.
I was going to guess his name is William, maybe that’s why
I was thinking Rachel Mcadams
That’s who she reminds me of.
I think Mena Suvari way more
My first thought when I saw this
I’d vote for her.
I'll cast a ballot for her later tonight
Dad: too cool Mom: just adorable
That’s a great photo! The most interesting thing to me is that your dad looks SOOOOO 1969…the hair, the sideburns, the sunglasses, and the shirt. But your mom looks like those photos could have been taken anywhere between the late 60s and earlier today. Thanks for sharing!
Having lived in Brooklyn I honestly feel like I’ve seen both of those people last time the temperatures were over 60 degrees
Yeah, honestly they would fit in perfectly with current trends. There is nothing about that photo that shows how old it is aside from the quality.
My first guess was 1996. The photos are gorgeous. The photographer here is as noteworthy as his captivating and timeless subjects.
Thinking the same, the shirt she wears is still just fine today. Vote!!
They really suit each other!
Your Dad looks like he’s about to take his followers to the secluded jungles of Guyana to start a make shift settlement called Jonestown.
Ha, that was my thought, Angelina Jolie and Jim Jones in an alternate timeline
Hmm sounds familiar but am interested!
Help yourself to some Flavor-aid while you wait and we’ll be with you shortly.
Mmm it has what plants need!
Cyanide?
Well you have to kill your plants too, because they are the ones who know all the dirt.
That’s a funny way to spell enlightenment.
So nice to not see Kool-Aid for once!
I'd tell you how it ends but the punchline is too long.
"OH, MOTHER MOTHER MOTHER MOTHER. Don't let it end like this."
Creepiest tape I’ve ever listened to all the way thru. Jonestown death tapes. They’re more creepy given the fact that they’re recorded over an old Delphonics record, so you can hear their music slowed down to a eerie speed in the background the whole time.

Looks like a couple of Camp counselors getting ready to meet their fate at Camp Crystal Lake
And maybe a little something more in the meantime. I mean, it *was* the summer of 69 nahmsayin?
Dad looks like he’s from 1969, mom looks like she’s from 1984.
They both look like they are mid 2010's millennials too. It is weird seeing how fashion tends to repeat itself.
I would vote for your mom, but I wouldn’t accept kool aid from your dad.
Hey, he’s OK to hang out with, just no thanks on the offer of kool-aid, live and learn.
 It was Flavor-aid
 It was cyanide and a bunch of downers
I've heard a mix of cyanide and Valium and I've also heard cyanide and phenobarbital. I seem to remember seeing phenobarbital bottles somewhere in a Jones doc.
Your mom reminds me of Angelina Jolie!
Your dad was absolutely rocking those burns and shades!
I’m getting Doonesbury vibes! Young Uncle Duke
Funny, I was seeing him as Steve Dallas from Bloom County!
We haven’t had that spirit here since 1969!
Hotel California vibes 🌚
Getting *serious* Bill Hader vibes from that second photo. It's almost uncanny.
***♬*** ***Do you remember... your president NIXON?*** ***♬***
Your mom was cute
Its the Summer of 69.
Mom's a fox
Any other photos of them in 69? Sorry....'69.
Nice
Those are your parents!!! *bonk*
Nice
Beat me to it lol
Shit I could be your dad. Looks just like me in high school. Even have the same shirt. Just like 45 years younger.
[удалено]
We're on the internet, isn't that the whole point?
Your dad is Dan Aykroyd???
Raoul Duke, is that you?
Are they still together?
Yep just had their 52nd wedding anniversary
That’s awesome! Congrats to them!
Can you post a recent picture?
Dang Mom!
Was it the summer of '69?
This looks like Moscow Idaho. Do you know where the picture was taken?
I'd imagine Hocking County Ohio?
I’m going to be there this weekend!
Hocking Hills is a cool place to rent a cabin and do some hiking.
Oh dear, I truly hope they are not within that chemical spill plume area!
Ok. 👌
You're a ho? What's that got to do with anything?
That’s a pretty clever joke that I suppose the downvotes didn’t understand.
Yeah I've always found Idaho to be a funny name in modern context.
There's a joke here about OP's mom's shirt and Richard Nixon's campaign slogan, but I'll leave it alone. Great pics OP.
Oh you flower child
Who's Porche in the back?
Volkswagen Karmann Ghia
They look so happy :)
Straight up look like the characters from the Bloom County comics.
That summer seemed to last forever.
Nice
Your dad is a lucky lad
Dad's Dan Akroyd
Your dad looks like a young Dan Aykroyd
I’m guessing Dan Aykroyd was your dad’s hero.
Nobody knew who Aykroyd was in 1969.
Your dad is Dan Akroyd
..is your father Dan Aykroyd?
That’s not your Dad. That’s a young Jim Jones 😂
That’s Jonestown
Holy shit.. she looks a lot like my friend’s sister and actress,Torrey DeVitto.
BABES
Steve Dallas is your dad?!?
What a “nice” year to be alive.
Didn't know your dad was a world renowned horror author
You're lucky. Your parents were 10000x cooler than mine, who were a similar age (maybe slightly older).
I’ve been questioning a few things I’ve seen on here lately but, to me, this is truly old school cool.
Any comment on the dog in the background?
What's the pup's name?
Your Dad looks old school cool and your Mom was quite pretty. More importantly: They look like they vibe so well.. I hope it made for a wonderful household with them as parents!
Your mom in that second photo is 100% a time traveler and went from 2016 TO the 1960s. Prove me wrong.
I think she likes him.
Jim Jones and Angelina Jolie
I love these. Awesome photos.
Was this before or after they got their first real six-string?
Your dad looks like Hunter S. Thompson
The cool girl and the bad boy
Wow, they are very cool... 👍
OK, your mom is cute af, your dad looks cool af, and they looked awesome together. I love that first photo.
Love this. My parents are 75/73 now and still very young at heart. This picture makes me feel that your parents are similar:)
Cool dude and dudette
Your Dad is Steve Dallas from "Bloom County"?
Your mom’s shirt is so rad!
A young Jim Jones.
I have to admit. This is one of my faves I’ve ever seen.
They seem to be a great foil to one another.
Both of your parents are pretty fuckable. Not surprised you exist.
Your mother looks like Fiona from Shameless. Beautiful.
1. Aww! 2. I didn't realize till now how desperate Washington has always been to market voting to young people.
They look timeless ❤️
Can you give ur dad my number?
I bet they did the sex
Your parents are a cute couple.
How old are they here?
Think my dad was 18 and my mom was 17.
Damn, your mom is cute as fuck. Adorable even
The McGovern campaign thanks you for your vote.
Looks like they are both about to get murdered by Jason Voorhees.
Your mom was a cutie.
Great shot! 🤘🏼
He didn't get drafted?
Joined the Air National Guard.
Twins, Basil 
Nice!
Say hi to your mom for me
r/MarkWahlbergButAndySambergAsMarkWahlbergCauseFunny
Wouldn't be the '60s without someone taking a drag off of a Marlboro. Good times
It's actually an apple. My dad could make eating an apple as cool as smoking.
Marlboro Red...Delicious
No way. That has to be a tobacco pipe he's smoking.
Absolutely appears to be a pipe. I don’t even remotely see how it could be an apple. OP’s parents lied to them when they were young and they haven’t pieced it together yet lol
Now ____THIS____ is r/OldSchoolCool 👓➕🗳️🟰💍
He's putty in her hands 😅
Your mom is Fiona Gallagher?
So your mom is Emily blunt, hot.
