DDC XXV: It’s a Special Holiday Episode of the DISDad’s Club

[BigTikiDaddy]

Morning guys,

off today to spend Christmas with my parents.

Have fun!

 

[declansdad]

Uggggg...

That's one way of putting it.

 

[declansdad]

Have fun!

We'll try, thanks.

Andriana has hidden all the knives and other sharp objects. If you don't hear from me again, it was nice knowing you.

The most important thing is if you mailed me the beer money.

I must have watched Outlaw Josie Wales at least a dozen times last year The Classic's never die

Great movie. I have many of those Eastwood westerns on VHS.

Proposed Man Law: Never make a bet with Norm.

I second that motion.

Counter Proposed Man Law: There will not be a Man Law Against a Fellow DISDad!

Morning Dads....

Back at work today.

The Universe is better for it!

Does "other sharp objects" include shivs???

Please say no...

Morning Dads....

About Time!

Too much sledding (oh sorry tobogganing) - back to reality.



Me - I'm chained to my desk once again. After covering 3 days of vacation for my fellow finance guy last week....he's now been sick the last two days.

This means he's worked exactly two days since the 21st of December.

Good Morning Guys!


Felt well enough to go back to work today.for feeling better, because I'm at work. Hoping this thing is on it's way out. How are you feeling today Steve? Hopefully better.

Looks like CJ needs some sharp tools to play with. I can send some down if needed, just say the word.

Hope everyone has a good day.

That sounds familiar. Don't be too hard on him, he probably feels miserable. I did. Looks like you may need some "mental health" days off when he returns. Hope your day goes well.

Hi all! Quick check in here. Next week at this time we're on a plane to our happy place Looking forward to meeting up with the dads at the "convention". I had to quote that word because DW turned to me last night and asked "Why are you guys calling it a 'convention'?" (imagine her fingers with the air quotes up as she says it) "It's just a bunch of you guys getting together to ride rides and eat food and drink beer and stuff. It's more like an expensive play-date for you men!" Well... we have to call it SOMETHING!

That's hilarious, Don!

‘Morning all…


Extra prayers for those that are fighting off various medical maladies…
Y’all need to be getting’ over all that nasty stuff.

“Expensive play-date”

Stating the obvious here. Is that not simply the definition of “convention” in the first place?

 

[that's nice]

Proposed Man Law: Never make a bet with Norm.

I bet with Norm and got some great BBQ!!!! GO UCONN!!!!!

CJ, you still here with us?

It's a trap!

It needs to be called a convention so all the TA dads can write the trip off!

I wouldn't normally care - but I'm suspicious of his "sickness". Recently he's met a woman who is "changing" him - looks, priorities, work habits....in other words...he's distracted by her.

What would she rather us call it? A Symposium??

Symposium
In ancient Greece, the symposium was a drinking party. Literary works that describe or take place at a symposium include two Socratic dialogues, Plato's Symposium and Xenophon's Symposium, as well as ... Wikipedia


I don't know about Plato and Socrates - but it seems to fit!

Wait, nobody told me we could do that!

PM me your address and it will be in the mail in a Stitch proof package.

Instead of a Man Law, it is now my New Year's resolution.

She hid them, but did not throw them away. Be afraid, be very afraid.

I knew I could count on you.

Love it. Too funny because it is true.

I bet with Norm and got some great BBQ!!!! GO UCONN!!!!!

CJ, you still here with us?

Good for you. I should ask your advice from now on when Norm proposes a wager.

I woke up this morning and the sun was shining, the birds were chirping and I think my daughter still loves me. The only remnant from last night is a slight headache. Have to give it to Charlie and the UL players. They wanted it and beat the crap out of Florida. Bet the bunch of ADs that didn't name him a Head Coach when they had a chance are kicking themselves.

If the shirts had "Disdad's Man Date" across the back Aaron would have had a much harder time getting people interested in them.

When I called for ME, the agent asked if I was coming down for "some sort of conference, it looks like?"... I bit my lip and agreed, not sure how else to describe it....
