@dpease Saw Marla Maples charges $ 75 for a personal message. That is more than Malaria Tramp charged for a lap dance when she was out on the circuit. Of course that was before she met the Orange Skidmark.
@dpease I saw this exact phrase on a T-shirt that one of my friends got for father’s day (with a more photo-realistic image of Trump) I wonder who ripped off whom.
@zinimusprime
He was kinda tough to buy gifts for, but the best gifts for him were events. We would spend a day canoeing down a river, or the whole family would get together and he could tell the stories we all had memorized already. One year when I was in the Navy and couldn’t get home, I wired instructions home to Mom to buy four identical neckties and pack them in four distinctly different boxes, each marked from one of his four kids. He got a laugh out of that, which I think is better than anything I could get him.
@zinimusprime
Last year, my brother and I took him canoeing, and he didn’t get a paddle. Second time we did that (first time in the '80s, he had a broken arm), second time he got accidentally dumped. Three people are too much for that canoe. After his accident in March, I visited with him in the ICU. He wasn’t awake, but I promised to take him canoeing again and try like hell not to dump him out.
We are still planning to take him on a trip down his favorite river, but now dumping him out a little is part of the plan.
@Felton10 Looks like there’s a couple of sites that do the same thing. https://starsona.com/ is another one. I haven’t heard of 95% of the people on these sites.
I got a video from my kids and I got to Skype with them. I talked about sneakers and video games with my oldest(13) and Baking, Legos and video games with my youngest (10). It was the best a father’s day could be without actually being with them!
A single Croft & Barrow dress shirt with the $10.99 Kohl’s receipt still attached, and a stock greeting card with nothing written in it.
Just kidding, I’m not a father, but hoped you would enjoy the surrealism.
Since I’m the only daily coffee drinker in our home, I received a sympathy gift. A shiny new Keurig dual k-cup (stupidly expensive way to drink coffee) /carafe coffee machine.
The sympathy part was me refusing to retire a - still functional - 20+ year old ragtag coffee maker. More likely, my family simply grew tired of seeing the heat-stained eyesore every day in the kitchen.
Cool feature, aside from the dual K-cup/carafe function… the water reservoir is a removable pitcher with base that can be relocated from to side to side and even on the back to create a slender profile.
Also, if the K-Cup thingy doesn’t make jigglies jiggle, look into the bialetti stove top espresso makers. That’s what we use and we just fill the well halfway with grinds and it makes really good strong coffee.
@RedOak If you do end up looking into it, just remember that the “cup” number is espresso cups which are 2oz each. So a 6-cup is the equivalent of 12oz(ish).
@zinimusprime Thanks, liking the Keurig fine - although, there’s no way I personally would have spent that kind of money even tho it will show up on the credit card I pay.
And the thought with the K-cup function is my wife sometimes drinks decaf, but only a cup.
We do use a French Press when camping - very happy with the coffee that puts out.
My combined birthday / Father’s Day gift was a wood pellet fueled grill for the new house. Son-in-law helped me assemble on Sunday and then broke it in with his professional chef skills. That was one hell of a steak and asparagus feast. And got to hang out with the granddaughter. Zoom for the rest of the brood with the princess on my lap. Nice day.
I got a 12 pack of Sam Adams Summer Ale and a homemade cake!

@DrWorm funny, I do see it on the internet, and that’s clearly where he got it from.
First Father’s Day without my Dad. I miss him.
Rest in peace, Dad.
@PocketBrain Same. It sucks. The silver lining is I get to be as annoying to my kids as he was to buy gifts for.
Was your dad equally difficult to buy gifts for? What was your favorite thing about him?
@zinimusprime

@PocketBrain these stories are awesome. Thank you for sharing. As a dad myself I can tell you that it would mean a lot to him.
PANS! GLANDS! CRAYONS! AWESOME!
@Star2236 is it awful my first thought when I saw this was the demigorgon from stranger things?
@CaptAmehrican
Haven’t seen the show, my brother keeps telling me I should watch it.
The flower spins like a windmill. We live on a lake and my dad has always loved windmills.
Wow - David Faustino must really be hurting for money.
@cinoclav Go to www.cameo.com-lots of people you can get to send you or others personal messages. Looked him up and he charged $ 50
@Felton10 Looks like there’s a couple of sites that do the same thing. https://starsona.com/ is another one. I haven’t heard of 95% of the people on these sites.
@cinoclav That is why some people you never heard of are only charging $ 20 for a personal message.
@cinoclav @Felton10 Cameo has Chris Hansen for $50.
“Happy Father’s Day. Why don’t you take a seat.”
@BadTouchRobot @cinoclav @Felton10
How much for the follow-up, “Tell us about your step-daughter…”
@cinoclav @Felton10 Any celebrities giving a personal massage for $20?
@cinoclav @phendrick Malaria Tramp charges $ 20 for a massage and a happy ending but the price is negotiable.
@cinoclav @Felton10 What a disgusting comment
@cinoclav @phendrick The comment befits her perfectly but more so her husband-both an embarrassment to this great country of ours

I got a 3D printer.
I got a cake and later a pizza. I was also allowed to go to the liquor store for some beer and bourbon.
Edit: been eating the cake for breakfast…it’s like donuts, right?
@medz Similar. My daughter had me over for home-made fajitas and took me to the liquor store for my choice of a bottle. Bourbon it was.

@ShotgunX Why stop there with the surrealism?
At least your ex-wife pretended she was raising your kids to respect and honor their fathers.
Count your blessings. You could have received a COVID-inspired “no contact” Father’s Day gift from
your kidstheir birth vessel, same as last year.@mike808 Ouch. I don’t know why (or how) I felt that, but I did.

The outgoing ragtag machine…
@RedOak I mean… It means they care…
Also, if the K-Cup thingy doesn’t make jigglies jiggle, look into the bialetti stove top espresso makers. That’s what we use and we just fill the well halfway with grinds and it makes really good strong coffee.

@Frcal That sounds perfect
My husband got a drawing from my daughter, and a scale that Meh hasn’t delivered yet.
I got drunk.
I got my dad 3 different packs of white socks, and a card promising dinner at our fave all you can eat sushi place.
I got to cook lunch for everyone.
The Glenlivit 18 Year, 4 Glencairn glasses.
So are fathers not receiving ties on father’s day anymore?
