First time posting here. Hopefully this type of question is appropriate. And hopefully I can be educated!

My father showed me a box bearing the family's crest and motto (Ne Oublie) and I was rather enraptured with what I read. Apparently the clan was friendly with Clan Wallace and indeed Sir John de Graham was a friend and follower of none other than William Wallace, one of the most well known leaders during the Scottish Wars of Independence.

The history was very interesting to me, though the castles they apparently had were not quite so impressive.

Hello gang. Got let into an operation with BWC's EU contingent for a drop on Graham 4 to oppose the clans for a bloody match on the Emerald Taiga. I hope you enjoy.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's contest! There were many great books released last year which were nominated in our Best of 2021 contest. Here are the winners for the Best Books of 2021!

Just a quick note regarding the voting. We've locked the individual voting threads but that doesn't stop people from upvoting/downvoting so if you check them the upvotes won't necessarily match up with these winners depending on when you look. But, the results announced here do match what the results were at the time the threads were locked.

Best Debut of 2021

Portrait of William Randolph Hearst, 23rd President of the United States

Administration:

Vice President: John Nance Garner

Secretary of State: William Jennings Bryan (1905-1906 (resigned)), John Tyler Morgan (1906-1907 (died)), John Temple Graves (1907-1909)

Secretary of the Treasury: Thomas L. Hisgen

Secretary of War: John Temple Graves (1905-1907 (promoted)), Charles S. Thomas (1907-1909)

Attorney General: John K. Shields

Secretary of the Navy: William Gibbs McAdoo (1905-1906 (resigned to take office as Chairman of the Federal Reserve)), Reuben R. Lyon (1906-1909)

Secretary of the Interior: Reuben R. Lyon (1905-1906 (promoted)), George Turner (1906-1909)

Postmaster General: James A. Reed

Secretary of Agriculture: Milford W. Howard

Secretary of Labor: John Ford

Despite his differences over the issue of prohibition with former Farmer-Labor nominee William Jennings Bryan, Hearst considered an appeasement of the still-powerful force in the party to be a necessity for party unity, and focused on their agreement in opposition to the British Empire to appoint Bryan as Secretary of State. The Pettigrew wing of the party was denied appeasement whatsoever, with Hearst viewing Eugene Debs and others as undermining his own candidacy, while the rest of the cabinet was made of Hearst allies. 46 year old Massachusetts businessman Thomas L. Hisgen was selected for the Treasury Department, with Tennessee Judge John Shields chosen for the Attorney Generalship. The fiercest Senate battle would arise over the nomination of John Temple Graves, a pro-lynching editor from Georgia, for the position of Secretary of War. With the Senate's two black members, George Henry White of North Carolina and John R. Lynch of Mississippi, leading the opposition to Graves. Nonetheless, the appointment was narrowly confirmed with the intervention of Vice President Garner on the behalf of Graves.

William Gibbs McAdoo, an ally of Hearst closely tied to Georgia Federal Republican leader Woodrow Wilson, was chosen as Secretary of the Navy in the closest Hearst came to appointing a member of the other party. James A. Reed, the independent Mayor of Kansas City, Missouri who endorsed Hearst, was chosen as Postmaster General. Alabama's controversial Governor Milford W. Howard, known for transferring the Italian term for French Boulangism "fascismo" into th

The doctor says it terminal.

The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”

“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

Heya
So as is tradition each year I post a little review of the AOS books I read last year. The link to my 40k books read is here, and for the handful (largely political and economic books) I read last year feel free to DM me!
A quick note on what I count as a "book" - It needs to be on Goodreads, and cost over £5. If it's the price of a book, I get to count it as one!

The TLDR: Go read these books: The Champions of the Mortal Realms Colletion, Dark Harvest, and Cursed City
In the comments I'll list a few stand out short stories of the year also !

1. The Life of Sigmar: Being the Epic Tale of the Warrior God Sigmar – Matt Ralphs
   3/5

This is an in-universe retelling of the life of mortal Sigmar following an excavation of grave goods from his era in Altdorf. It’s short, and more “fluffy” than anything serious. It contains Sigmar smearing himself in faeces, orks showing their bums, and Sigmar befriending a pig.
It’s a fun read for what it is, but it’s so niche it’s hard to review

2. Blacktalon First Mark – Andy Clark
   4/5
   Sigmars chosen hunts nurgle knights.
   I’ll be honest, a large part of this score is due to two factors. Firstly, a glimpse into early stormcast life. Secondly, a giant beetle friend who reminded me of The Neverending Story. It’s a very good AOS novel in how it’s representative of the tone of the setting; moments of heroism and hope but tints of darkness and desperation.

3. The Gates of Azyr – Chris Wraight
   2/5
   Stormcast vs Khornites in the realm of fire
   So this is one of the earliest AOS novels, and it is as uninspiring as I’d been lead to believe. It reads like a blurb for most of it, merely outlining rough backstories at best. There is a very good segment where a khornite is forced to engage in cannibalism, lest he show weakness.

4. Broken Realms: Morathi
   4/5
   An elf snake becomes a god and invests in real estate
   Twists, multiple perspectives, actions that had real tangible consequences? Yes please! A lot of the criticisms for AOS (too “noblebright”, nothing changes, no stakes) seemed to melt within the 80 odd pages of narrative here. My only criticism is the length (and price!); I could gladly read much more about these events!

5. Sands of Blood – Joshua Reynolds
   3/5
   Stormcast in the realm of death
   I’m going to say something very unpopular here; I don’t get the appeal

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Mathematical puns makes me number

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

I've done two of these over the course of the past year (here's round 2, which also has a link to Round 1 at the top) and they've gone over quite well, so here's a third one!

As before, this is a compilation of some of the little comics mini-reviews I've been doing in the "What Have You Been Reading?" threads over the past six months. Hope you find something to enjoy in here!

1) Upgrade Soul by Ezra Claytan Daniels

https://preview.redd.it/vt6em4zsebc81.jpg?width=248&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb360842d5e7c31a888a76ea50b87765bbc238db

An elderly couple decides to put their faith in an experimental science program that could result in them being rejuvenated, brought to a better condition than they even were in their prime and more than doubling their lifespans.

That’s all I can really say without getting into spoilery territory. This is a book which unfolds gradually and deliberately, peeling back layers of character development and commentary on a whole myriad of topics, but better experienced going in as blind as possible.

Broad strokes treatment: The book is a meditation on the idea of what makes someone a human being, and the concept of leaving a legacy and how that can be a powerful drive for some people to the point that it makes them do drastic things. It’s sci-fi meets human drama with hint of horror and it’s smartly written and strikingly drawn.

Good shit. Recommended.

2) Plastic by Doug Wagner & Daniel Hillyard

https://preview.redd.it/rvt5jc1yebc81.jpg?width=384&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9499385abf18f183f7002e35b24050f95fc7a13d

A retired serial killer named Victor falls in love with a lady named Virginia. Virginia gets kidnapped by a local mob boss who is aware of Victor’s skill set, and promises Virginia’s safe return so long as Victor carries out a couple of hit jobs for him.

Oh, and also, Virginia is a plastic sex doll.

This is a very twisted, deeply fucked up, wonderfully weird and overall pretty enjoyable horror romp if that’s your kinda thing. The same team also released another story in the same universe called Vinyl this year, which is along very similar lines and should scratch an itch if you've a hankering for more post-Plastic.

[**3) The New World by Ale

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

He lost May

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

And now I’m cannelloni

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

And boy are my arms legs.

Put it on my bill

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

BamBOO!

They’re on standbi
