DadNews Daily July 26, 2009
- GM is pulling their sponsorship of the Buick Open. This is a big deal for the PGA Tour. If I cared more about golf, this would bother me. (ESPN)
- Michael Jackson may have some other son as a result of a one-night stand. The least believable part of this story is the part about Michael Jackson having a one-night stand with a woman. Sorry about that. The Sun has video of the kid, Omer Bhatt, who at 25 years old isn’t a kid anymore. They say he has an “uncanny resemblance” to Michael Jackson. The fact that he’s moonwalking while wearing a costume and hairstyle that is remniscent of Jackson helps the uncaniness. If this is all a money grab, I’d say it’s quite canny, actually. (The Sun)
- A father in Iran was arrested for mourning his son, who was shot during a riot in Tehran. Awful. (L.A. Times)

- Hey. Dude who thinks he's in the Indy 500. You're in a mini van. Stop weaving in and out of lanes. #
- What happened to Fiona Apple? She was pretty good. Maybe she'd like to write a song about the recession. #
- nothing against state troopers but those park ranger hats? Kinda silly looking. #
- Oh, and you? Douchey McDoucherson? You're not in a minivan but you're still driving like a maniac. 100 MPH on the highway? Cut it out. #
- Another good NFL name – Mike Mickens, Cowboys #nfl #
Discount at The Shelving Store
As any stay at home dad knows, you sometimes develop womanly tendencies. I don’t mean breasts, although, hey, it could happen. I mean getting excited about things that you never knew existed. Things like a sale at The Shelving Store.
It goes something like this:
“A sale at The Shelving Store? Well we need more shelves in Johnny’s closet. If I had more shelves I could organize his closet much more efficiently. So a sale? On SHELVING? Is this my lucky day or what?”
Definitely “or what.” If you’ll excuse me, I need to go visit a strip club and then shoot a wild animal. Right after I place my order for new shelves. Family first.
Show and Tell – Hanoi Jane’s Hot Mug Shot
Say what you will about Jane Fonda, but she was a nice looking woman in her day. Even after being arrested. There’s something very sexy about this mug shot from 1970. To see Jane in her prime, though, pick up “Barbarella“; click here for a video clip. (Stylelist)
Evolution, graffiti style. (ChickenCrap via StumbleUpon)
Want to know how to make Kentucky Fried Chicken at home? How about Benihana’s Ginger Sauce? Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies? All this and more for the cooking inclined. (Copycat Recipes)

- 'Smart quotes' are annoying, unnecessary and need to disappear. They don't look any different and they screw up formatting. #nosmartquotes #
- The word unnecessary is unnecessarily difficult to spell. This video is the second Google hit for that word, fwiw: http://is.gd/1KDcU #
- RT @BrianLynch: Walking behind Gene Simmons. He kinds looks like a hip Imhotep. #

- We need a top 10 hit for the recession. Still hearing "dancing in the club with my champagne" crap. Pop music isn't reflecting reality. #
DaddyTips Show and Tell for July 24, 2009
- Is Archie Andrews hung like a horse? Like, Minnesota Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe size? You have to wonder what the artist was thinking when they drew this page. (Buzzfeed)
- More nerdy stuff from Buzzfeed: the cast of Star Wars, in a photo from a long time ago, in this galaxy. It’s Vader and Chewie without their costumes. In a suit and tie. Weird. (Buzzfeed)
- I can accept that I don’t understand fashion. (Shocking, I know.) But $895 for a baby carrier? What’s wrong with one of the bags you get from the supermarket? (Pursuitist)

- From Comic Cons past: Darth Vader meets Hello Kitty http://is.gd/1Jeoq #
- In honor of Comic Con – Tauntaun Sleeping Bags. I want one. http://is.gd/1Jeqz #
- The reason the buttons on my back pocket don’t come undone when I slide them out? Its cuz they’re snaps. #
- Back window of this prius has an odd design. Big bar in the middle of the back window. Not so helpful if you want to see what’s behind you. #
