Father’s Day is Sunday, June 18th, 2017. Call your dad. Unless he went out for a pack of smokes and never came back. Then you can still call him, just call him an asshole.
We were going to make a list of some cliched crap dads are supposed to want for Father’s Day, like socks, and ties, and cigars, and golf clubs, and fishing gear, or grilling accessories. That would be a stupid, boring list. Some dads don’t like golf and fishing and some have never worn a tie in their life. Maybe you don’t even have a dad and your mom likes to fish. Crazy, we know.
So instead of getting your dad some cliched crap he’ll never use, get him something he’ll actually like. Take him out for dinner, buy him a beer (or wine, maybe your dad likes wine, because not all guys like beer), make him a card with a nice note, take him to a baseball game (or your local theater, maybe your dad doesn’t like sports), I don’t know, he’s your dad, they’re all different, just get him something that would mean something to him. Or get him what my dad always wanted, some goddamned peace and quiet around here.
Just get him something nice, or get him VIP tickets to Riot Fest.
We also made you this list of Songs About Your Dad.
Anyways, here’s a list of some cool shit anyone would like:
