You're welcome. I was just thinking that this is Frank's first, as well as Soren's first!

I got my father a card which says
"I've emailed God hundreds of times and he never replies....
... I find it really unprofessional"
which tickled me, he's on holday right now so I'm making him a fathers day mix to send down.
The easiest way to sleep at night is to carry on believing that I don't exist |

quote:
The creation of a national day for Dads began back in the 1900s when a grateful daughter wanted to express her deep appreciation for her own father. A gentleman by the name of William Smart, a civil war veteran, was widowed when his wife died in childbirth. Mr. Smart raised his six children on a rural farm in eastern Washington State. When Sonora Louise Smart Dodd, one of Mr. Smart's children, was grown she wanted to show her appreciation for her father. He had shown her a great love and strength in raising her and her siblings as a single parent. So, in 1909, she proposed a day to honor her father in June (the month of her father's birth).
The very first Fathers' Day followed on June 19, 1910 in Spokane, Washington. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge showed support of this becoming a national holiday. However, it wasn't until 1966 when President Lyndon Johnson officially proclaimed Fathers' Day a national holiday to be celebrated on the 3rd Sunday of June.
Harry C. Meek, president of the Lions Club in Chicago, was also a component in establishing Fathers' Day. He gave several speeches around the United States expressing the need for a day to honor our fathers. In 1920 the Lions Clubs of America presented him with a gold watch, with the inscription "Originator of Fathers' Day".
Traditions
If your father is living, wear a red rose.
If your father has passed away, wear a white rose.
The very creative tie as a gift.
A cookout usually. prepared by Dad himself.
Tell your Dad how much you love him--and why.
Give him a great big hug
well now i know.

Today my kid asked "When's kid's day?" to which I quickly replied
"EVERY DAY is kid's day!"

me and my daughter went to madagascar (the movie, not the country) today and had lunch together. it was a great movie and a great day. smiles abound.
The waxworks were an immensely eloquent dissertation on the wonderful ordinariness of mankind. |

Thanks for the wish. My son and I played all day until just now. That was the best present for me: seeing him laugh and talking to him about all kinds of funny stuff with his 5 year old perspective on things.
All of the true things I am about to tell you are shameless lies |

Got me a Superman cake and a super soaker so I can get the brats next door. Oh, and I haven't had to make one cup of tea (yet!)
Happy Father's Day, dads!
I won't lie to you. Fatherhood is not easy like motherhood |

Thanks.
My daughter is throwing a temper tantrum because I didn't choose to go to a chinese restaurant tonight.
I think I've contracted pink-eye.

Happy father's day to all of you out there, of course a special Happy Father's Day to Yann since I know his son as well and thus am aware that he is a good father. :)

I didn't think it was father's day in the US yesterday? I'm sure that's what John Malkovich said on the Jonathan Ross Show on Friday.
 I'd walk her everyday, into a shady place

Thanks Sir. But if I really were a good father, my son wouldn't rank "Pistolero" among FB's best albums :)

"F'fwow fwow fwow, fwow f'fow."
Jonthan Ross is one of those TV personalites who are slightly annoying, but actually quite likable, good at their job, and occasionally funny. He was funnier when he was a panel guest on things ike They Think It's All Over, he seemed to make more of an effort. On FNWJR, he tends to just mention an amusing news story in between guests. Then again, to be fair, I suppose his function is as host/interviewer on that. I liked some of programmes he did in his earlier career, like The Incredibly Strange Film Show, which would feature Sam Raimi and people like that.
