Today we honor Dad!
Thanks for:
Happy Father’s Day everyone!

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
Dad: “son, hand me a wrench”
Son: “what size wrench you want Dad?”
Dad: “Doesn’t matter, I’m gonna use it as a hammer!” -Jon Oxford

There’s no doubt that what your parents listened to when you were growing up has had some sort of an impact on what you listen to now, though I’m not totally sure it’s always as clear-cut as this graphic makes it. Instead of listening to something vaguely derivative of Jimmy Buffett, I think I was so overdosed on him by Parrothead parents as a kid that I purposely avoided anything remotely close to his music as an adult. But since Jimmy Buffett isn’t an option on this chart, I guess we’ll never know.
Just wanted to wish all the Neatodads out there a very Happy Tie Day Happy Father’s Day! Having three little Neatolings of my own, I have to say that there’s no greater joy in life than fatherhood

Next week is Father’s Day, and in the spirit of celebrating dads, Asylum has put together the greatest moments in pop culture fatherhood:
Ah, the pop culture dad. Is anyone more bumbling? Film and TV have provided us with a bevy of memorable dads, all perpetuating the stereotype of the well-meaning, but dim-witted (or borderline psychotic) pop. (Actually, sometimes it isn’t borderline.) In honor of Father’s Day, we salute a few of the greatest moments in pop culture dad-itude. They all deserve a "Father of the Year" novelty award … and possibly psychiatric counseling.
From martini-mixing lessons to murdering mobsters, see some of the best moments [of pop culture fatherhood]
