Father's Day Wrap-Up
Ok, last Dad's Day post, I promise. (But keep in mind that crossing my fingers behind my back nullifies any and all aforementioned promises.)

Messages like, "Aren't you glad you put me through college?"
(And if ever there was an icing color that should be banned, "radioactive vomit green" should be it.)

Or, "I can't even bring myself to call you 'Dad'."
I think this one is "Squint your eyes and it could almost be golf-related, Grandpa."
(Get it? "Grandpa?" 'Cuz it says "Father's Dad"?

"...at beating orange bunnies with a baseball bat.*"Vanessa B., Shylah E., Jujyfruit, Amanda L., Mary F., Lauren C., & Bekka T., I hear that's the most sportsmanlike way to go.
* Yes, I know it's supposed to be a fish. So don't go pulling a "Spaceship Earth" on me, hear?
