    Maybe nobody remembers the Bible no more, but significant tribes were founded in the same manner we're discussing here. Lot escaped Sodom with his lucious daughters who each in turn fed him much vino and jumped him while he was smashed. That's two nights running in the cave, and two tribes for Israel.

    Genesis 19. Lore bless us all.

    I don't know why that girl just hasn't been removed from his custody, given the extreme alchoholic events she's had to witness. Oh, dad's curled up on the floor eating a hamburger completely out of his mind?Oh, dad binged on vodka for a day and I had to take him to the hospital with alcohol poisoning?

    In approprirate shopping outings are the least of their problems.

    @daveyjonesisdead: I remember watching my mother drink so much that she couldn't walk for a few days. Oddly, I chose to remain out of concern and trying to help out.

    I know this feels like one of those "if I were them, I would do this" situations, but it's not. The reality is far different than what you imagine.

    Good grief. Whatever happened to fathers not being able to deal with their daughters as people with sex parts, so they just didn't really speak to them, unless it was to give them a few dollars when they came home to wash laundry after college or tell them that their current boyfriend is a loser/punk/stupid idiot who knows nothing about cleaning a bar-b-que grill, obviously.

    Bring back awkward silences, disapproving glares, and "I don't know. Ask you mother." until you're 35 and you have children of your own and he becomes "Poppy," whom your children adore because he lets them feed the ducks on Sundays, and who you adore now, because he wasn't your "Friend" growing up.

    Does this exist anymore?

    @Atilla the Bun: A long, long time ago, there was a movie, and it was called Sweet Smell of Success, and in it a very powerful gossip columnist ended his sister's engagement by means of a slimy press agent. The columnist was extremely protective of his sister. Extremely. Like a rival. In the story, that was more prominently displayed than in the movie. But it got me thinking as a small kid. What is this magical switch that turns us off to immediate family? And why is it switched back on again in places like the Appalachians and Hollywood?

    @Tremonius: From my psych undergrad I remember there being studies done that most people imprint on those they get to know under 6 years of age as 'non-potential partners.'

    Then, of course, there's smell and bad biological reproductive for inbreeding. Kind of like how your body knows to breathe, it knows to not find that attractive.

    No idea on the Appalachians or Hollywood.

    @Paul_Is_Drunk: A movie I saw with a title I don't remember had maybe a Joanne Dru character who was informed the guy she was in love with was actually her long-lost brother. She swooned, thinking she must be crazy. I couldn't figure that one out neither. She was somehow supposed to recognize kinship with a guy she hadn't seen since she was a toddler? By smell, maybe.

    Then in Lone Star, there was a couple who found out they had the same mama and decided not to stop the party on that account.

    Then in The Fabulous Furry Freak Bros, Feewheelin' Franklin goes home to middle amnesia after long years in the Haight and comes upon a fine little lady in beads and fringe, and pretty soon they're in her bathtub, her assuring, "The parents aren't home." But they come home! Horrors. And Franklin, peering over the bannister down into the foyer at them, mutters, "Hey, these are my parents too ..."

    WTF? I realize the Hof's brain is probably pickled by now, but what's his daughter's excuse? Why would any teenage daughter agree to go to this place with her dad? And they both had to know the paps would be following them around after his ear- infection-mimicking-alcohol- poisoning incident of a few days ago. Weirdness.

    @Atilla the Bun: So, according to you, the father aka the adult caregiver is the victim here. And his own young daughter is some sort of vile temptress who wants to bone her dad and as stage 1 of her dastardly plan, she makes him take her to a lingerie store. Young Miss Hasselhoff is an evil genius indeed. That poor man. Who among us hasn't gotten drunk just to have a great excuse for coming on to your kids?

    @Wrapitup: Ha!(?) You are kidding right? I hardly think Daughter Hof wants to "bone" her dad (or visa versa), much less is she trying to play temptress to her dad by going to this store with him. I think it's just another example of weird celebrity behavior, in this case a father who is probably too out of it to exercise any judgment in the situation, and a daughter who spends so much time playing caregiver to her alcoholic dad that going to sex shop with him doesn't even phase her. Sad but not incestuous.

    @Tremonius: National Lampoon had one of their fake letters to the editors about this years ago. The letter writer was complaining about the phrase "I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating crackers," because that activity could present unsanitary conditions and attract vermin. The writer's suggested alternative was "I wouldn't kick her out of bed for admiring Lorne Greene."

    And didn't the publisher of National Lampoon cop to illegally manipulating stock recently? He thought if he could goose it up to two bux he'd be in the chips!

    @pmarble: BM and BOA are both correct (and witty), but I'll just add that hiking all 2,178 miles of the AT is challenging because of the rugged backcountry and mountainous terrain; threats to personal safety where the trail and its campsites approach civilization; the wide variety in the trail's climate; and the need to resupply every few days.

    If you don't have three to six months to complete the AT (plus the time required to plan the trek), you could section hike over a few days, or just enjoy a few miles in an afternoon. (Ten trail miles a day doesn't sound like much until you realize that it excludes additional miles hiked to resupply food and water and pick up "bounce boxes.") Still, go prepared. It ain't Disneyland out there.

    The AT is generally not considered "technically" challenging, in that during the hiking season ropes and ice gear are not typically required. However, the link above and a number of well-written books will reveal that there are major psychological, physical, and logistical challenges to completing such a trail (or even partially hiking it).
