So I was at work yesterday when the girl's father and grandmother show up.
She looked mortified and gave me this "i'm so sorry, they didn't say anything to me!" look. They didn't grill me too hard, but they did give me quite inquisitive handshakes and "so nice to meet you!"s.

There are worse ways to meet your girlfriend's protective male relatives.

She had quiet a beard going, even for an old woman.
Alternatively, He had a nice rack for a senior citizen.
Inquisitive like "I wonder how he'll react". Like, he extended his hand for me to shake it, and I swear he had this look on his face like "let's see where this is going". Like he thought maybe I wouldn't return the shake?... or I'd lick his hand?
But it went fairly well. Ironically (and the girl later tells me they specifically aimed for me, so maybe not ironic) I was their cashier.

"I'm shooting out my hand at you. So what will you do now, though guy? Hum, he grabbed it, good reflexes. And now he's shaking it once... twice... three times. That's a good number in Babylonian numerology, I wonder if he's Babylonian? Come to think of it, the last few hundred people I threw my hand at did the same thing, grabbed it and shook it. I wonder if they've been talking to each other, spreading the word."

This has happened to me a couple of times. Mostly with girls I wasn't actually dating. Once with the daughter of the guy in charge of satellite surveillance at the local airforce base.
Her dad's a pretty mean looking dude, too. Sleeveless shirt, muscular, tattoos... thankfully I'm not built very scrawny and I think I saw some "maybe this dude can protect my baby" in his eyes.
On a scale of 1-10 I think the encounter was firmly in the 8s.
You're inquiring as to the other guy's grip strength and tolerance for pain.
And yes, it's a dick thing to do. It's just one of those dick things that is pretty widely accepted amongst males of the species.
Unlike the grabbing-and-squeezing dick moves you can do that actually involve the other person's dick. Those are not accepted when you are first introduced to someone, as I found out.
It's also invariable that the people who really go for it are small balding men who need to assure themselves and those around them. A real man gives a firm grip without trying to show how much he has to prove.

That kind of attitude from male relatives (though any relative doing it would be bad) has always irked the hell out of me. Thankfully my own father was never stupid enough to pull that kind of crap on me (he was always the first to say that I was perfectly capable of swinging my own stick), if he had I'd've chewed his ear off.
I'm happy they like you, though. Always a good thing in a relationship to have the family think well of you.
I dunno Passer I think it's a not unreasonable sentiment. Girls are typically weaker and smaller than men, from a purely physical perspective. If I know my baby girl's spending a lot of time outdoors in a big city, I think I'd feel a little bit of extra assurance knowing that the person she's accompanied by can maybe secure her a little better than she could herself.

It's just tagged as "house hippo" on someone's flickr.
I don't know whether I should be disappointed that it's not a hippo, or pleased that it's real.
Sounds like something a lizard person would say!
I dunno, Japan's still alive.
Presumably.
Unless she's posting for him. Or he's a lizard person himself.

I like that, I would want one of those small hippos if they were real.
Also, everybody would want a tiny hippo.
I was out getting drunk too long, so I had to walk home. Which means I didn't get home until 5.
I've been trying to get this fucking particle simulation to work for two days straight and now I finally have! This is so not my cup of tea.
Even more adorable!
And much more blonde.
The bow is very cute, though.
More so than you think: I'm trying to simulate blowing up a window. So lots of broken glass indeed.
D'awwwwwwwwwww~! <3<3 Supercute.

They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.

In what way is this inquistive? I always just assumed people did that because they were dicks.

Tell me, does he have a strong urge to fly?
I'll just hand this in on Tuesday instead.
Time for TV watching!
It's Alan Hyde, so unrelated to The Wall.
Also, his urges have more to do with burning than flying.
Edit: The other one is Alexander Skarsgard, also not connected to The Wall.
