Just a quick note to drop a "Happy Fathers day" message to those of you here on GTP that are Dads.

Let's see... The list goes...
UB57 (Oldest member not yet a grandfather)
Mr P. (fastest house on that side of the pond)
Boombexus (she hasn't told him yet)
Neon_Duke (Suffers from single male household syndrome)
Milefile (Son voted as most likely to be a documentarian)
Phattboy (Hey, where'd that kid go?)
Gil (Voted most virile)
Giles Guthrie (Currently holding the title as Newest dad)
Famine (Well, not yet, but he's been voted most likely to steal Giles title)

I know this is only a handful, and I'll add others as the day goes on.

Congrats guys.

Good luck

AO

Aiiii!

*collapses*

Just a note for the benefit of my dad, who won't read it, but what the hell.

I was up there two weeks ago and bought him a 1:18 Jaguar E-Type convertible as a Father's Day present. On Thursday he ditched the Ford Focus ST170 and bought a Jaguar XJS.

Figures.
 
I got my Dad some expensive Irish Whiskey. 👍

Have a good one all you Dads. :cheers:
 
Yeah, I got my old man one of these Since I never got him anything worthwhile in my 18 and 9/10ths years.

Gonna get it installed tommrow.
 
Happy father's day, you dads. I bought my dad a cellphone.

I want kids just for the father's day presents. Is there a system where I'd only have to see my offspring one day out of the year?

Yes, it's called divorcing a heinously nasty witch, and a brutal settlement. Unfortunately, you'd probably have to pay for the other 364 days.

Oh, forget that.

I can marry a guy, adopt a 17 year old kid, then divorce when the kid turns 18. Maybe I'll get some presents out of it, and I won't have to pay child support.

I could do the same by marrying a woman, too. I'd have to find one willing to adopt a child, though.
 
I'd rather buy my own presents. People usually have no clue what I want.
 
I already have the latest version of OS X. I wouldn't want that badge, but I bet Tim would. I wouldn't mind having one of these (and I've seen one IRL... pretty nifty) or a handful of these (language warning). What I really want though is this, a broadband connection, a couple of these, and one of these.

What a lovely, encrypted post!
 
You know Sage, I wouldnt mind one of those powerbooks if some Windows things were compatitaible with that. It looks...Smooth.




...What did I just say?! :scared:

Dont go to the darkside!
 
Happy Fathers' Day to all you fathers. I'm still hopeful to become a father by next Fathers' Day! :D
 
You've got a solid three months to get that planned out. Unless you find a species that gestates for fewer than nine months.

I wrote you a poem.

Abstain, Doug, abstain;
Don't make a mistake;
Don't make a big stain;
Don't do it for christ's sake;
Don't do it if you're at all sane;
Abstain, Doug, abstain

That really touched my heart. :(
 
Hey, thanks AO, and all the rest.

Today I got home made Eggs Benedict for breakfast, with Hollandaise from scratch and fresh fruit on the side. Then I got presents: Return Of The King and the first four seasons of Red Dwarf on DVD.

Then I got another present. It's been a great day.
 
Thanks Alex and Co.
Had to share Father's day with my Son. His 18th birthday was today.
We were treated downright royally.
Also among my fatherly duties, took my 19 year-old out and did some stick shift practice.
By Jove, I think he's getting it.:lol:
