Happy Father's Day!

He got shafted on a Father's Day present this year because it's impossible to buy him books or DVDs and have no clue what else to get.

Madchen: Happy farvers day
Dad: Thanks. It's a load of commercial old rubbish, isn't it?
Madchen: Did my card arrive in time?
Dad: Uh, no.

Father's Day History

Called my dad and he was in fine spirits and enjoyed his card. Got him a belated gift or two today he will enjoy. :-)

So, yeah, Father's Day was enjoyable overall. With the exception of the "God, it's so incredibly SUNNY!" weather, which you guys will probably already know causes me to grumble.

yeh, here neither. not on june 20th it isn't.

And Lukas made me this thing at his day camp out of a picture of himself and popsicle sticks that said "HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DUDE".

Happy Father's Day to all my fellow dads, as it says at the beginning of the thread (I haven't read the rest): new dads like Pleasant Plains, classic dads like Alex in NYC, Rock Hardy, lovebug and nickalicious, I've-got-a-surfeit-of-dadness dads like Haikunym, britishes and UK dads like Tom, Noodle Vague, Onimo and Grout, and all the other dads I've forgotten to mention.

Although this doesn't seem like the Father's Day thread that I remember, the one where Beth P. told me to mow the @#!&%*!-ing lawn!

Which somehow reminds me that I forgot to that other new dad, crossword Matt.

mention

oh yeah, and skot

and, god bless him, xhuxk

thanks, k.

You're quite welcome.

Sorry that I also forgot Michael Jones, PJ Miller and, on this side of the Atlantic, gypsy mothra.

I want to be a dad someday. Have a good day dudes!!!!

Thanks Ken, I got a great present when the kiddo went to London, had a fantastic time for a month, then came home safe. Getting breakfast in bed tomorrow will be nice too, though.

Happy Solidarity Day to the ILXor dads out there. Hit one golf ball or something.

bbq dudes

Hmm, yeah, maybe I'll grill something, but fuck, it's hard to get out there and fan burning charcoal when it's already 94 degrees.

Happy fathers day to all you dads and dads-to-be!

Thanks everybody! I hope all your days has been as cool as mine.

HEY I HAZ A SURFIT
(okay i get it, i'll stop talking about my kids now, h f d y'all)

Happy Father's Day, ILXor dad guys!

To all My Fellow New Dads and New-Dads-On-Deck!

{checks calendar - confirms state of daddyhood for past 21 years - mopes}

LOOT:

I got
* book from mother-in-law
* new Converse sneakers
* card from Beeps that begins with "Although we've only known each other for a few months..."
* hardcover bound book of Beeps' first three months, as told in pictures.

I could sleep on the futon in the nursery for the next year for stuff like that.

Awwwwww!

happy father's day to all you dadly ILXors!

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

Today is my first Fathers Day! Baby Snrub will be posting to ILX in no time.

Congrats!

Baby Snrub will be posting to ILX in no time.

Fatherhood will give you a chance to teach baby snrub the importance of carefully curated challops to raising your ilx profile.

I got a free beer at lunch.

wish I had a dad

Welcome

Happy Father’s Day, Aimless et al!

I see James Redd et al. has started a minor tradition of giving me a shout out. I feel honored to accept it and would like to pass on my best wishes for the happiness to ilx and ilx-adjacent fathers everywhere.

Lot of fellow dads on this board, happy day to you all!

I can't remember if I told you when my father died in 2008. I probably did, if I wasn't on one of my years-long breaks from here.

Yes, also happy Father's Day in memory of fathers no longer with us. (I'm fortunate to still have mine, talking to him in just a few minutes.)

Yeah, my wife's dad died in 2002, mine died in 2014. We may no longer have fathers, but I like being a father. This pretty much sums it up:
