"I would say it’s cool and brave for my dad to jump on a car and get his arm broken for me" is definitely a sentence that requires a very specific context unless you're an orangutan in a Mitsubishi commercial.

So glad the kid got out safe. Give that Dad a pat on the back. Oh, and why we're giving him things, Kia should give him a brand new car (it would be great publicity and well worth it).

Happy Father's Day to all the dads in Wildcat land.

May your children think you're just as much of a superhero as this guy's.

Happy Father’s Day to all of the amazing BearDownWildcats dads.

Some of you are new dads, some of you are old hands watching your kids have kids of their own and pass along the lessons passed down by your parents. In either case, even if the only thing you’ve ever done is pass down a hatred of ASU, you’re Fathers of the Year every year in my book.

Happy Father's day all!

Let's hope by Father's Day next year our kids will be vaccinated and we can take our families out to celebrate somewhere instead of staying in the house all day.

Not sure about you all but a Fathers Day tradition around these parts (even before Covid) is to not go anywhere, and to watch Dad sweat over a hot grill on a hot day providing dinner for everyone on his “day off”. Mother’s Day on the other hand is when you go out to a fancy brunch/lunch/dinner so Mom doesn’t have to do anything.

Funny story; My buddy’s mother and wife decided that he, his father, and his brother (all dads) should go fishing. Then they decided that they should bring their five total children (all boys under 9) along. Then his brother’s father-in-law gets included at the last minute. Then his mother “accidentally” booked them a boat for tubing instead of fishing.

So today, he, his father, his brother, and his brothers father-in-law are out on Lake Michigan with a bunch of unruly brats so the kids can tube even though we’ve had thunderstorms and gusty winds all day. Meanwhile his wife, mom, and sister-in-law are hanging out on shore, drinking wine, and probably going to get manicures.

Happy Fucking Father’s Day!

My dad is 86, and who knows how many he has left.

But the circle of life continues. My grandsons, the youngest just turned 1.

Happy Father's Day to all of you! As someone who is about 6 weeks away from joining the club, I couldn't be more excited. The good and the bad.

I’ve been there, and I don’t know that it gets easier, but other things seem to crowd out the pain eventually.

Happy Father’s Day ECC. I hope you had a good one.

Thanks. Hope you and the rest of the Cat dad’s had a good one too.

My 22 year old son, who has a knack of still giving me angst, nearly brought me to tears after reading his Father’s Day card.

I guess it’s that infamous circle of life thing.

Easter call to my Dad ended up more like a Father's Day call. I thanked him for taking care of his health. What prompted this? He cut alcohol and smoking. He uses his CPAP machine. And as part of recovering from cancer (2016) and a heart attack (2018) he lost weight and adopted a vegan diet. All contrary to the similarly aged (70), pre-diabetic family friend of ours who, despite his doctor’s, wife's, and adult kid's urgings, consumes candy bars and wanes into a wine stupor every evening, keeps gaining weight, and in refusing to use his CPAP machine, starves his brain of oxygen.

Doesn’t sound like it’s using the oxygen anyway.
