My mom is a psychoanalyst... we wrote our dreams in notebooks since ever since we were able to write.

Maw was a shotgun-shell reloader until Paw done bought a rifle.
Paw was a hunter, like Locke. Only better.

How is psychoanalyst an unusual profession?

My father was a civil servant, then worked on the railroad, all the live long day. My mother worked for a company on which Johnnie Cochran was one of the board of directors.

seriously? Psychoanalysis fizzled out more or less (only to become ego therapy) in the 1970s. It seems outdated. And do you know anyone else that discussed Oedipal conflicts REGULARLY at the dinner table?

It sounds like a better title for this thread would be 'List your unusual parents'

Sure we do. My brother in law has a Sigmund Freud action figure and my sister in law has phallic salt and pepper shakers. How is that unusual.

Nope, but my dad's side of the family may have some of that.

I give up then.

+225,660 Coolio Points for stumping BizB (And a Karma point, too)

2,645,778 coolio points = No Tea

And remember, you must have both 'Tea' and 'No Tea' to win the game.

There is speculation that the value will increase if this comes true...
P.S. Don’t tell anyone but Coolio’s also doing a MTV reality show in the same vein as The Osborne’s.

Good thing, I've been keeping my points in an interest bearing account then.

thats what happens to serious things over time... Freud is kitsch! Anyway... i was more curious about other people's parents' professions... but nobody is biting!

BizB · « **Reply #14 on:** October 19, 2006, 03:19:58 PM »

There's really nothing to tell.
Dad was a draftsman. Mom was a nurse.

Both terrorists. Excuse me, freedom fighters. True story. My father also professed literature in Dublin, and my mother was a psychoanalysis student and early irish feminazi. Excuse me, feminist.

If fire fighters fight fires and crime fighters fight crime, what do freedom fighters fight?

My mother is mentally ill and has no vocation. My father is an engineer. He works for a company that makes machines that make hard drive parts. He works on projects designing better machines to do that. Or something.

My mom's a social worker and my dad is a diesel mechanic (before that he was in the military).

No, and no. :p

He doesn't do coding, just 3D modeling and textures. Maya, 3ds Max, and the like.
