Accidentally created an account via a Google account pop-up.

Use this site to look up odds & ends.

Am I welcome as a dad or would this be inappropriate?

I feel the same about most of the classics threads tbf.

I agree, when newbies are told to go and read Classics I feel like saying don't bother, they're all made up or not even remotely funny.

Penis Beaker did bring MN a whole load of new posters (and presumably revenue). It was weird for a while.
I still think Penis Beaker was a made up load of old cobblers.

Loads of threads on MN are completely made up and obviously so, annoyingly people will fall for them so they end up very popular. We have our fairly frequent troll who makes threads about a child having big boobs that don’t fit uniform etc, rather than posters realising its innapropriate far too many post about their own childrens boobs and fuel the troll.

Quite,
And then mouth off at posters pointing out that "Mum here, dd has big boobs/ds is 17 and wets himself at school" stuff might just be this evening's Herbert getting his kicks for "trollhunting" because trolls do no harm.
Anyway Simon, you'd best be toddling off or pp will be getting humphy again. Grin

I didn't find penis beaker funny at all.

It wasn't remotely funny.

The funniest shit I ever read on here was years ago from a poster who I think is long gone. BupcakesandCunting and her preggerz and peng cousin. Now that was funny.

I didn’t read PB it as it happened. Saw the OP and thought as it was obviously made up/ troll territory it would be gone.
Then it seemed to have gone viral and was everywhere. People sending me the link etc.
Went back a while after and read the whole thing but still 🤷‍♀️

There are lots of dads on this site. Most of them don't feel the need to create a whole new thread to announce their manly presence though.

Exactly. There's always something faux-humble about it I can't put my finger on.

What I don't understand is people who aren't parents using this site...

Really? Have a really good think about all the sections on here. There is loads for non parents

I used this site before DC because I was Googling something about houseplants and a thread came up. Then I got into the gardening board.

I also looked up threads on travel and books.

Then I used it to look up stuff about fertility.

Hope that's ok by you!
