Happy Father's Day!

Awwwwww!

happy father's day to all you dadly ILXors!

I got John Peel's auto/biography, a lap desk for late night reading/sudoku-ing in bed, and the most amazing, wonderful card I could ever imagine from the kiddo. I'm not much of a cryer, but this had me on the wibbling edge. Mostly too personal to share, except for "Thank you for your crazy music, even the stuff that makes my ears ring." What a great kid.

When I went into the 'Ling's room this morning, there was a bag on the floor with an envelope on it marked "Daddy." Inside the bag were a new PS2 game, a really nice shirt, and a card asking what kind of stone-fruit tree I'd like in the back yard. I picked the envelope up, and asked him "Hey, what does this say?" He stared thoughtfully at it for a moment, then said "...Daddy." (Note: he is 27 months old.) I was filled with pride.

I got a cake from which the sweeties on top had already been eaten, a card and a home made money box - also pancakes in bed for breakfast. Hurrah!

aw my hubby got a punch in the nuts.

I was just messing with you, Hazmatt.

Sorry, Aimless, I almost mentioned you in my post but I couldn't quite remember so I erred on the side of caution.

My dad lent me some books and the boy fixed my plate for me at lunch which was cute. Today I discovered that mayonnaise on hot dogs tastes awful, llama spit tastes awful, and that shaved pomeranians look like tiny bears.

aw my hubby got a punch in the nuts.

One way of keeping him a one kid daddy. ;-)

I forgot all about it. :-( Didn't even realize it.

i was told to shut up, and was called a fucking dick and a fucking jerk (by my wife, not the baby). happy first father's day! I'm sure that once the kid starts talking he'll be saying similar.

He'll probably just post about it on a message board somewhere.

Reviving this a bit early not only to wish all the dads on here well -- and all those wishing their dads well in general -- but to say that if you could spare my dad some good thoughts it'll be appreciated: he's going in for emergency hip replacement surgery in a few hours. Like the link says, I'm sure he'll be fine but I hope it's not too surprising I'm feeling a little jumpy right this second! Please do feel free to leave him any well wishes on that blog entry and he'll read them when he gets a chance.

Aw, Nedders, here's some sympathetic pats on the shoulder for you. *pat, pat*

Happy Father's Day, everybody. Best wishes to Ned's dad.

I hope you like this awesome tie, pops. The pattern is WOVEN not printed.

£23 tie, he better like it!

aww stay strong submarine man. im sure he'll be a-okay, ned.

hey does schwantz get double presents because hes got twinnies?

beatrice's daycare gave pp a scribble crayon drawing that she did with "happy father's day" written on it. guess what i got for mother's day from daycare? NOTHING
last year at a different daycare pp got donuts for fathers day. guess what i got for mother's day from daycare? NOTHING
WTFISUPDAYCARES???? is he going to get a freakin trophy next year? damn!

I'm sure he'll be fine, Ned. My dad's walking around on his fourth left hip joint -- the one he was born with and three replacements. He never slows down and keeps wearing 'em out!

xpost -- obviously they hate your guts! It's probably the funny accent.

probs

yeah happy fathers day to PP!

SS you should update the Hells Kitchen thread then maybe people will like you. ;)

theres an active HK thread?? why do i find this out right after the crazy gets the boot? :(

No, there's no active thread anymore. Something happened, something terrible.

clearly

Also Happy Fathers Day to Ned's Dad and my dad and Rock's dad and all dads everywhere!

with love,

Gordon Ramsey

Thanks all. The surgery was scheduled for 4 pm my time, and I'm a touch on edge in that I've heard nothing yet, but perhaps this is for the best. No matter.

Mom called, everything fine. Yay. :-)

That's good news Ned, I'm glad it went well. Wishing him a quick and strong recuperation.

Also, happy Father's Day to all you ILX dads!

I just spotted this thread (as I spend my Father's Day on emergency projects at the office; It's horrible being here today instead of with my family, but I have little choice). Ned, I'm very glad to hear your father's surgery went well. And Happy Father's Day to all the other ILX'or dads.

I got given Monster Hunter Tri this morning. Sweet :D

listening to this ...

Managed to watch a Dad retrieve his lost daughter in a shopping centre at lunchtime. Top day to do it.

i have nightmares about situations like that.

We've had a Wii for a couple of months now, and my wife and daughter gave me the Tiger Woods 2010 game and a MotionPlus sensor last night, an early Fathers Day present. Shot a 66 my first time out. (1st hole, quadruple-bogey; 2nd hole, hole in one. Still figuring out putting speed.)

lol, I just shot 55 at Bay Hill

Dear Father,

Using absolutely nonsensical words, I will describe you in a way only a son can:

Gorf snapuki ke de lor ordle der fordle. Urdesir no "neeneenee" for gorp. Yo blee bloo rensary fo reflorgis! "Sorg" be bor. "Norg" ni fror. Ropissnace hor "Eltor". Gleeglee de rorpilene so "freefree". Roow spinspar o "Balgoo!". Urdisnar snee gorp. Floo "dee". Floo "doo". Ropstance aborp bloopfinkle.

Rocend, Ah' nesh.

And that is truly who you are. (Through my eyes at least)

I bid you: ado, ada and adi.

Blorpfink, Rufusoosakhananorsnek

card i got from rufus this morning. cyrus gave me his copy of Kiss's Double Platinum.

scott meeting yr dad & talking jazz w/him was a highlight of emp

hfd dudes

Happy dad day to you too, mark!

and all the ilx dads!

there are a lot more of them now then when i got here...

hfd, everybody. That Don Martin/Swedish Chef mashup from Rufus is pretty sweet. Enjoyed reading the stories of Skot's dad dragging him to see teh jazz on that other thread. Right now enjoying watching Jazz Icons DVDs I received today

so much jazz when i was a kid. he didn't have any jazz friends in connecticut to go to NYC with. he just wanted company. i always made sure he promised that we could go to record stores/comic book stores/book stores in the village if i went and saw chico freeman or george coleman or cecil mcbee with him. i loved the taste of coca cola in jazz clubs. always tasted swankier for some reason.

couldn't really properly explain to my teachers why i was so groggy sometimes at school. uh, dizzy was really wailing last night and we had to stay for the second set...

HFD to all Ilx0r dads, especially Aimless.

Wow! Thanks for the shout. I happily spent the day with my daughter yesterday and will shortly leave to a family gathering out of town. Happy fathers day to all who qualify!

Happy Father's Day, Dads of ILX
