Make magazine asked its readers for advice and tips from their dads. The collection they published for Fathers Day is eclectic, to say the least.
Whenever I’d got overwhelmed, my dad would say: “You know how to eat an elephant, Kevin? One bite at a time.” -Kevin Devaney
“Don’t tell your mom.” -Gary Sanders
If you ever have to shoot someone, make sure you empty the gun. That makes it look like you were scared. -Sam Murphy
If it can’t be fixed with a pair of pliers and baling wire, it can’t be fixed. -Wade Erickson

Normally I don’t go for the run-jump-shoot type video games, but this one is so cute! The idea is that poor Dad goes berserk after a long hard day at the office, and needs to break things. The more chaos you cause, the more points you rack up. And you can even shoot lasers and play guitar! Link -via The Daily What
What a great list of the things that are important to pass along to children! Tiffany at NeatoBambino shares some of the things her Dad said that stuck with her. My father told me many of the same things. I had a hard time deciding what to excerpt here, so I’ll just give you the first one.
1. Be the doctor don’t marry the doctor. My Dad is a closet feminist. Sure he comes off as a sexist pig and he is the king of inappropriate comments. What most people don’t know is that my Dad told me nearly every day of my life that I should be the doctor not marry the doctor.

How do you know that you’re married to a geek dad? Kathy Ceceri of the new (and very enjoyable) Geek Mom blog (yes, the "better half" of Ken Denmead’s popular Geek Dad blog) writes:
Not all GeekMoms are married to GeekDads. And GeekDad-ism, like many things, exists on a continuum from “enjoyed the first Star Wars movie” to “named his first daughter Leia.” Even though my husband falls somewhere in-between, his latent GeekDad tendencies are obvious. Here’s my Top 10 Ways to Know You’re Married to a GeekDad:
5. The ornaments on your Christmas tree consist of Romulan Warbirds, shuttlecraft, and Borg cubes. [...]

Fourth-grader Hannah Eschrig got a surprise on the next-to-last day of class at her school: her father, Air Force Master Sgt. Joseph Myers returns early for a surprise homecoming.
Matt Woolbright of My San Antonio has the story:
Myers’ reunion with 10-year-old Hannah was his second of the day. He reunited with his 19-month-old daughter, Adison, just before surprising Hannah.
Adison didn’t know how to react, burying her face into her mom before uttering, “Hi, Daddy,” and bringing tears to many of the people there.
Hannah’s class was interrupted when Bessette announced that some friends would be talking to the class and taking pictures. When everyone was in place, mom and dad walked in.
Hannah’s expression and instant tears drove her mother to tears as well as she watched her daughter and husband reunite.
“I was so excited, I couldn’t believe it,” Hannah said. “I don’t really remember what happened because I was just so happy.”
