I dont think people get when im joking or serious even though its super super obvious to me.I don't get why people dont get it. Im just trying to be nice all the time and people treat me like ****. I don't wear brooks bros suits or smoke cigars.

Even Clinton said a cigar tasted good.

Sorry if you feel I'm pushing you

Tell your dad you're gonna quit drinking and goofing around and become a better man. That would be the best present you could give him.

Yes, even I am drinking less than before.

Not that I like to be a father figure, but...

I quit smoking about a year and a half ago. I quit gambling. I spent several weeks caring for my grandmother. I stopped asking my parents for money. I started working 40 hours a week. I stopped going to college. I stopped hooking up on craigslist.I stopped weed.

Presumably if he collects wine he also drinks it. Get him a bottle that he can drink, maybe something unexpectedly good and inexpensive.

I don't know much about the US wine market, but there are a bunch of wines in any UK supermarket in the sub-$20 range that you'd be happy to give as a gift.

Nice. Maybe mailing the clip as a father's day gift? It's the thought that counts. What's more, it's free.

Can get enough blank DVDs and probably find torrents for a cheap solid gift if by chance he likes the show. When I'm broke this is what I'll do a lot of the time, either a TV series or movie or documentary or something. Piracy is the poor person's gift!

it was a mish mash of a couple of post aimed at goofyballer and wasnt intended for bobo fett. goofyballer of course doesnt have to talk to me but I wanted him to. Thats ok.

I do have something to say about the forum. My blog is terrible and I want to keep it open but it didn't work out from the perspective of making a great blog.
So i wanted to take blog out of my undertitle. My undertitle can be anything you guys want just not alink to my blog. Other people like jmakin did a much better job of keepin g up with their blogs. I dont really think haveing a twoplustwo blog is for me but ill probably still post some random things in it at a later date.
