Father's Day Ideas - WTF Style

So I ask the kids, "What should we get Dad for Father's Day?"

And their answers, yes, they were serious.

"We need to get Dad a pair of Volcom board shorts and a Billabong Tank top.  That way he will look cool like the other Dad's at the beach."

Close your eyes and picture this.  Dad, of course has hit and past the 50 bubble so a tank top and Volcom shorts.....well..

"Let's get Dad the New Black Ops Ghost game for Xbox 360.  He'll love playing the game with us."  -Uh huh, he doesn't even know what an Xbox is.

"Let's get Dad some new ski pants, the ones he has are dorky.  He needs some Neff ones."  Well, Dad probably wouldn't look right with ski pants that have a comic face on them with the label of Jenyus.

"We could make him breakfast.  Wolfgang makes good toast."  Reminds me of the year they brought him breakfast in bed, toast and PBR.

"I know.  We'll do all the chores that day.  Then he won't be mad when he gives us our allowance."  We are starting to make progress here.

"We could just be good," one says.
The other one looks at him, "For a whole day?"

Me, I think for a few minutes, look at the smiling faces of the minions we've created.

"Let's just buy him a good bottle of bourbon."

Happy Father's Day.

A Day In The Life Of A Facebook Addict

You are that Facebook person, I know you are:

You see a post and you like it.

So you say, "I will like you."

Then you see another post, but you don't like it.  It is sad, you shouldn't like something that is sad?

But you have to like it, because you want your friend (who you really don't know) to know that you see they are sad----by liking it.

You see another post, it makes you angry.  You do not delete the person off of your feed, you send an angry message back to that person (who you really don't know either) and get into a fight that ends with deleting them, which you should have done in the first place.

You see another post, you decide that it is not nice enough to like, close, but not close enough.

Finally, there is that cute picture of kittens - not only must you "like" this but you must share this because everyone shares kittens.

Then there's the picture that says, "Hangover, The Gods way of saying you kicked ass last night."  You love this but there's a problem:
If you like it, then they know you were drinking last night.
If you share it, then people will know that you drink.
What will all these people, who you really don't know anyway think about you drinking on a Tuesday night.
You take that one and save it for another day - maybe you can share it on a Sunday, but wait then what will all the people you don't know, who go to church, think?

You see a post from a friend about her Labrador puppy, you think, "OK, enough of the real puppy pictures, we like the funny ones that someone else made."

Then you stop by another friend's post and look at the picture, "OK, that's not real.  I will not like it."

Finally you see a few pictures of several friends you actually know together, "Well, why wasn't I invited to that party?  I mean we are Facebook friends."  You decide to LIKE it to show them that you KNOW and you are not happy about it.

All of this happens in the 5 minutes it took you to pull up Facebook and take a look.

You close out of it to actually get some work done.

But go back 5 minutes later.

Is this you?  Do you have continual conversations on what you LIKE and what you do not LIKE?
