• If you're that concerned about his mom stealing money, cut off her hands, don't make the kid suffer.
• Sometimes, if your kid doesn't want to eat his vegtables, you have to just let him have his way.
• There are eight rules to "Fight Club." The little-known ninth rule? No tasers at fight club.
• "The story is about a father who tries to save his daughter from zombies." What right-minded father wouldn't? (third item down)

• If you're enough of a jackass to beat a three-month old, you're probably enough of a jackass to think you can fool anyone with a lame cover story.
• Get used to it - if your wife, or girlfriend, or ex-girlfriend is pregnant, you will be reduced to a punching bag.
• Nothing good ever happens in a basement.

• Ever set your coffee down on top of your car, so you have two free hands to load things in, but then forget about the coffee, drive off and spill it everywhere? That's the only way this could have been worse.
• "I think you are bluffing, but I'm out of cash, how about I raise you my daughter?"
• Considering this case is about a father leaving his daughter in a car with loaded assault weapons while he drank in a bar for about 90 minutes, the outcome could've been much worse.

NOTE: In the course of my daily Interneting, I came across this site: Parents Behaving Badly. They do the same thing I do here, except more frequently, much better, and not limited to just fathers. I highly recommend checking it out.

• Wife physically assaults husband after he chides her for overdrinking at their wedding. Why is this here? She's seven months pregnant.
• Some people just can't wait to get their hands on their baby.
• Responsible Father: "Son, I'm too drunk to drive, please take these keys and drive me home."
  Irresponsible Father: "Son, you are just 14, but I trust you to take these keys and drive me home"
  Horrible Father: "Son, I know that you are drunk at 14, but I trust you to take these keys and drive me home."
• Ty Winnington, sure-handed infielder. (found via The Feed)
  
• Off the beaten theme, tomorrow is Oscar night and I've seen two of the Best Picture nominees! That's two more than last year! Not nominated was this film which, in all honesty, I'll probably never see. Regardless, suck it Pan's Labyrinth!

• It's been snowy, icy and downright cold where I live lately. I walk to work each day, and have spent a good deal of my commute thinking about how I'd transport my child in this weather (he/she will be five months old this time next year). This is not how I'd go about doing it.
• I'm guessing if Senior and Junior knew this is what Trey and Quad were up to, they'd lay off the whole "family name is a legacy" thing. But isn't it cute how you can totally see the family resemblance in the mug shots?
• Nothing bonds a father and son like a good old fashioned road trip through this great county.
  
• Finally, I don't have a joke about this one, it's just too sad and perverse. I'm linking it so that it cannot be swept under the rug.

• Can't get a baby sitter? No problem, so long as you can make it to your local pharmacy!
• Until I read this article, I had no idea that Ryan O'Neal was Tatum O'Neal's father. Also, I never knew how big an asshole he is.
• Usually, you have men running away from being called "baby daddy." Behold, the legacy of Anna-Nicole Smith.
• Ok, so maybe working 18+ hours a day, travelling extensively and moving often to advance your career isn't a beneficial trait for fathers.

Let us all learn from their idiocy in a special sports-themed edition of "This Week in Fatherhood."

• I think de la Hoya missed a great chance. Not only does father know all of sons physical weaknesses, but emotional, as well - "Now Oscar, when you get in close, you whisper right into his ear that Fluffy never made it to that farm in the country with the other dogs."
• Yeah, I remember when I was old enough to beat my father for the first time. I was 8 and the game was Super Mario Bros.
• My child should be so good at a sport that I heckle and get attacked by his coach.
  
• One thing I, personally, am looking forward to is living my athletic fantasies vicariously through my children. With the Super Bowl just 18 hours away, I wonder if Archie Manning is thinking the same thing.

• From the promised land, we learn that the family that drinks together shouldn't drive separately.
• I think the problem here was that they were found on land that wasn't zoned agricultural.
• Of course this son was upset, if his dad's dating 20-somethings, that limits his own dating pool.
• Just a week until the Super Bowl, and it's nice to see that the Sex Cannon's family traded their blue and white gear for some blue and orange gear. Please note that Rextacy was named for his father - the original Sexy Rexy. I can only speculate (though I'd rather the boys at Kissing Suzy Kolber do it instead) that the "birds and bees" conversation in the Grossman household was much different than the one in mine.
