Did you marry your daughter?

My first thought was to insult you... but I'm in such a good mood today I'll let this one slide...
 
Nothing. My father pulled a disappearing act eight years ago. (When I was 20) He's had no contact with any of his relatives, but we know he's still alive because he's still drawing his military retirement.

I just don't understand why your wife would be giving you a Father's Day present.

I guess it doesn't matter, I've just never heard of it before. Aren't you meant to give a presentto your father?

When you have children too young to really get you anything, then usually the wife gets it for you. Not just a holiday for "your" father, but any father that means something.

So because you don't understand the best way you could think to respond would be to post some dumb shit like that?

That's f'n Brilliant.

Suffice to say these days many husbands and wives give each other gifts on Father's and Mother's day as well as having the children give the fathers and moms gifts on those days.

Are you losing it or something? That was very aggressive.

The last paragraph alone would have been enough. Do you think I'm actually serious or something and suggesting you married your daughter? I would have thought it quite simple for anyone to understand that when I say that, it's just another way of saying "Huh? Your wife got you a father's day present?".
 
Strange that I've never heard of it. I wonder if it's different in different countries or if it's just chance that I haven't.
 
Nothing, because we celebrate Father's Day on the first Sunday of September here. My father's birthday is usually the week before as well, so I get hit up twice (or spread it over two gifts).
 
No worries. I only got my 'rents presents this year for the hell of it. They didn't seem to appreciate it and said I was wasting my money :(
 
I got my dad the D-Day Anniverssary version of Saving Private Ryan. It will look fucking incredible on the new home theatre setup that's going in tomorrow.
 
I'm stuck at work today, but apparently my cousin is coming to visit me and bring some free BBQ, which rules.

Got my dad Onimusha 3, and he called earlier... seems happy with it so far, so that's good.
 
Got my dad Curb your Enthusiasm Season 2.

I should have gotten him more,but I'm fucking broke.

i'm a pretty crappy son.

I forgot my fathers birthday once...I saw him before going to school, but didn't congratulate him or anything, he was probably standing there with his hand outstrechted, reaching for his dear son...only to be ignored :(

That afternoon, after my mother told me it was his birthday, I went to the supermarket and got him four Milka chocolate bars.

This year I bought him a toolset and a boardgame.
 
I got an amazing dinner (yesterday) at a great little restaurant from my hunny-bunny.

Today, I'm making dinner for my dad.

Clothes. We all went shopping for a "big Father's Day sale" that seemed to have very few items on sale. :P

Thanks for reminding me AT TWENTY PASTY ONE IN THE MORNING!

Couldn't you have posted this earlier and reminded me? :(

Uh oh... somebody forgot father's day....
 
A card yesterday and a phone call today.

My actual present was a week early, I sent him and my mom to a jazz concert in Clearwater (Dave Koz, Waymon Tisdale, Jeffery Osbourne, among others). They said they had a lot of fun - came back home all dancin' and singing and carrying on like two teenagers....
 
Gave him and my mom a nice time at a restaurant.

I'd love to go to Fogo de Chao again if it didn't rape your wallet and leave the remains. It's a great place though.

Whoa! You live in ATL, Brannon?
