To all fellow fathers out there! Have a great day with your kids. My son's 14-16 year old baseball team (yes all 15 of them) slept over last night. Okay, well...they stayed here last night, I'm not sure how much sleeping they actually did, and now that they've all been fed breakfast, and I've had a 30 minute nap, my still exhausted ass is getting ready to head out to coach their double-header. Yay me!

Happy fathers day, TV, and to all the DTF dads out there.
I have to work today so my wife and daughter gave me a legendary fathers day yesterday. I got home from work at 3:30 and found the house littered with streamers and balloons. The kitchen was all decorated to the hilt. I was served a lobster dinner. My daughter made all sorts of gifts for me. Then I was taken to see Green Lantern last night.
What an awesome day! I truly felt special and very loved.

Hope all the dad's here are having as great a day as I am so far. Check out the wicked cool cake my (almost) 11 year old daughter made for me. I'm one proud daddy!

Those are some awesome cakes! :tup
-
Adorable first pic jingle.boy. Your daughter has very impressive cake skills for her age as well. I'd really foster that aspect of her life as she may have a promising career as a baker.
-
Excuse my language but holy fucking shit. Wouldn't mind eating those.
-
I want some cake now.
-
This thread is now about caek.
-
The cake is a lie. Or a pie.

Happy fathers day, fellow DTF dads. Had a nice, long chat with my kid, which is a rare occurence for a 17 year old. :lol
-
She's 17? Why did I think she was a few years younger?

Probably shouldn't have shared all those totally fucked up jokes with me, eh bud? Kinda fucked up that avenue.
-
Also the fact that maybe she lives on the other side of the country?
And hey!! What's wrong with your daughter's boyfriend having the same sense of humor that you do?
-
Actually, she lives in NY, on your side of the country.
-
So how come Father's Day is the same in the US as the UK whilst Mother's Day is not?
-

Oh shit!!!
Um...Can I tell you a construction joke? It's not that good. You see, I'm still working on it.
See...I NEVER TOLD YOU A DEAD BABY JOKE!!!!

I was actually wondering the same exact thing.

Um, you told me a ton of dead baby jokes.

I don't recall said events. :P
-
Sorry, dude, still have the PM's.
-
Bull shit!!
Really? :lol
-
What are you guys talking aboot?
-
My daughter is 7 weeks old. It is still somewhat amazing to me to think of myself as a father.
-
Best wishes to all the DTF dads! Hope you've had a great day. :)

Got up early, played a couple services, met my wife and daughter for lunch, then went home for a three-hour nap. Got up, my son insisted on taking me and the whole family out to dinner. He finally got a job last month, has money, and wants to give something back (good man!)
Went to dinner at a place called Ted's, which has the best burgers I've ever tasted. Before we sit down, one of the hostesses with a camera asks if we want a picture taken, and it comes with a $5 gift card. Sure, why not? She takes the picture and goes away, I forget about it. Later, she shows up with this card, Happy Father's Day from Ted's and the picture inside. Cool!
But when we left, we forgot the card on the table. Ten minutes down the road, my wife realizes this and calls the restaurant, and I turn the car around. Obviously they'll find it when cleaning the table and will stash it somewhere until we come back and claim it. All restaurants do this. Apparently, all except Ted's. When they cleaned the table, they threw it away. Seriously? My wife was pissed, she made them check, dig around in the trash a little, etc. It had only been ten minutes. But it was gone. They gave her some more $5 gift cards to try to cheer her up.
It wasn't that big a deal, it wasn't something I'd even planned on having, but it was cool having a memento of my Father's Day dinner, and seriously, what the fuck kind of restaurant literally just trashes stuff people have left on the table? I've never heard of a place that didn't at least stash "lost and found" stuff on a shelf until closing time, and if people don't call or come back and claim it in a day or two, then maybe toss it. So it was a bummer to cap off an otherwise pretty sweet Father's Day.
-
That is an odd thing for the restaurant to do, like you said, at least hold it till the end of the night.

So church this morning was awesome. The service was a little different. The church band opened up with "Foreplay" by Boston, with a dude dressed like a wizard conducting them. Then the dude threw off his robes to show his regular clothes, and two ninjas showed up on stage and they proceeded to engage in (intentionally lame) choreographed hand-to-hand combat while the band kept playing Foreplay. It was very lulzworthy. It's a big church with a big budget, so there was a lot of fancy lighting going on to add to the effect.
For an idea of how it went down, here's a "Bohemian Rhapsody" parody they did for Mothers Day. Awesome.

Check my edit, too. Cool stuff.

It was a bittersweet day for me. My first Father's Day since my Dad passed away. But my kids are great.
-
This was my very first Father's Day and it was very eventful. Grilled burgers and hot dogs for my wife's side of the family in the early afternoon and steamed crabs with my father in the evening. Exhausting, but fun. I still haven't quite grasped the fact that I am, in fact, a father now, but every time I look at my son and my wife, I feel immeasurably wealthy.

My Father's day was
6:15am: Wake up on in-law's guest bed that is hard as a slab of stone. My back was hurting and I couldn't lay there anymore.
6:15-10:00 am: Play Zelda Minish Cap on my kids old Game Boy
10:00-12:00 pm: Church stuff (my in-law's church)
1:00 - 2:30pm: Dropped loads of money while listening to my 12 year old gripe about everything at the fancy restaurant we ate at. I had Chilean Bass with crab meat and various veggies covered with a yummy cream sauce. :metal He had a bowl of spaghetti noodles with no sauce - just butter. :|
3:00-7:30pm: A little napping, a little US open golf on TV, a lot of Zelda Minish Cap on the Game Boy.
7:30-10:00pm: Drive back home from the in-laws
10:00-10:15pm: Go get the dog from the dog-sitter.
10:30pm: Bed!
I did get a card he made on the computer promising to take me to see the next Harry Potter movie. Plus a ball point pen that says #1 Dad. :)
I was bummed that I didn't get a chance to play a round of golf with my brother-in-law (who was out of town). Oh well. Lately for the sake of saving money our birthdays and Mother's & Father's days have been very uneventful.

Went with my dad and brothers to have lunch. We had lobster. Most overrated and overpriced meal in the world.

On the latest video, start about 6 minutes in and watch for just a minute or two. Great musicianship.

Well maybe a little late to post in here but yesterday me and my family went to our grandparents and great grandparents houses (had sloppy joes) and ended the day at buffalo wild wings. I love this holiday even if im not a father.

That's your church? You guys are awesome. When I saw the link, I thought it was gonna be to this:
https://vimeo.com/12714406
We played that (the video) right after the band finished the opening set. All three services, we had to stay and watch it from the wings because it was so awesome. The live version is cool, but maybe loses a bit because of all the visual humor in the video.
