"When I was growing up my dad used to blow up at the mention of Queensland (state in Aus) police, declaring that it was a police state and that they were all a bunch of crooked bastards. I didn't make a great deal of it until one night when I was 18 and I'd come home fairly drunk, I got talking to my old man who'd done the same and he let loose this story... "So, Son, let me give you a little advice, cops have got friends who are cops... once me and my mate Gary were getting about and doing the tour (they travelled and surfed for a few years before my dad met my ma) and we got pulled over, then the van got sniffed through by a dog. Three days later we were kicked out of Queensland at gunpoint by half a dozen coppers telling us that if we ever came back we'd be killed. So let me just say, if the coppers confiscate 2 ounce of grass of you, then when you catch them trying to sell it outta uniform at a party, turn a blind eye and don't kick his arse for it!" "

"My dad received a bronze star in Viet Nam. For 30 years, he wouldn't tell anyone what he did, only commented that people get them for "being really brave or really stupid." Finally, at my brother's commendation to Lieutenant, my dad told us the story. After engaging in combat, my father's unit had to retreat and return later to reclaim the artillery that had been left behind. They were ambushed, and it was due to my father's leadership that not only did they get the artillery, but he got his troops out alive also. I'm still not sure if he thought his actions were brave, or stupid, but he's still a hero to me. "

"One fall my dad lost his job. My mom was staying home and raising all five of us kids, so there was no income coming in (my dad was a public school teacher, so not much was coming in to begin with). Anywhoosle, we were living off ramen and PB&Js for a couple months while my dad looked for whatever shit job he could find. One morning my mom looks outside and sees a moose in the back yard (we were living in rural alaska at the time) and so she immediately thinks "I can finally feed meat to my children". So she gets my dads shotgun, and kills the moose (we had next to no neighbors, but it was still totally illegal). My dad came home a couple hours later from a job interview at Denny's and had to butcher the moose. He wasn't too thrilled, but hey, it was good food. My mom also used that same shotgun to shoot the television a year or two later. She was pissed that my oldest two brothers weren't playing outside enough. So yeah... my mom is a badass. "

My mom brought me up even though I was a total moron as a kid and she stopped me going down the wrong road in life (I'm clever but immoral ... worst combination...)

One time when I was pretty young, we lived near where my mom worked, which was this shitty little restaurant where she was a waitress. One night, she needed to get a few things from the store, so she walked there, and had to walk home. One of the things she had to get was a new curtain rod because one of our cats had torn down the curtains and broken the rod. Well, on the street before she got to our house, some kid came out of nowhere and tried to take her apron, which was full of cash. So she proceeded to beat his ass with the curtain rod, until he ran away and it was broken into tiny pieces.

We used to live in Israel, my dad was born there and met my mom in the US while studying here. Basically, my mom (who was heavily involved in Palestinian rights movement) was contacted by a pregnant Palestinian American woman who was stuck in the West Bank since Israel would not let her out (despite having an American passport and all that) My dad, who still is really supportive of Israel despite all the shit they do, could see how wrong this was. He drove into the west bank and basically smuggled this woman out of there one night. She stayed with us for a couple of nights until her flight and everything was arranged. I guess the most 'bad-ass' part of the story was my dad putting aside his own politics in a case where something was objectively wrong and having the courage to do something about it.

My dad's done some cool shit. I watched him save a kid from drowning once, he has a patent to his name, climbed the corporate ladder, etc. His dad was a badass. He could get out of almost any bad situation. The town Marshall used to have him ride along when he had to arrest somebody, just to have somebody who could talk the suspects down/kick the shit out of them if necessary. He also once flipped a dumptruck on a state highway, then gave his statements and everything, and totally bluffed his way out of a huge fine/jailtime for not having a CDL.
