According to my Snapple bottlecap, in Athens, Greece a driver's license can be taken away by law if the driver is deemed either "unbathed" or "poorly dressed". Is that the real reason you've moved to the Netherlands?

I like that you're living in a place called Haarlem.

my family and all my friends have made so many haarlem shake jokes, I'm looking forward to hearing something new

Do you have your own Globetrotters?

Good luck on the move Zero. Something tells me you need no luck.

LeBron shoots closer to 40% on the ground, and can't make layups when they count. I stand by my comparison to Muggsy, who didn't think he knew more than his own coach. If I had the keys to the car, I'd say "fuck it, LeBron wants to be the coach, let's see how that plays out again". Again, he'd be 1-5 in championship games if he wasn't bailed out by a teammate. He isn't a clutch player. at all when it comes to winning bog games. And he's playing against players you have never heard of and won't be remembered. He's below average at best.

Bumper stickers can be funny, but are stupid.

Most of our best posters don't post, and I think we all know why.

So today I got a new "Legacy Megazord" from Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. While I wouldn't call myself a "Power Rangers fan" I loved it when I was a kid and always wanted (but never had) the Megazord. And holy shit, this toy makes me happy.

There's something about combining robots that I COMPLETELY LOVE.
A bunch of robot dinosaurs? That's pretty awesome.
Those robot dinosaurs combining into Megazord? EXTREMELY awesome!
Adding a robot dragon to that Megazord? OH MAN, SO INCREDIBLY COOL!!
Putting that Dragon Megazord on a robot brachiosaurus? THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST POSSIBLE CONCEPT FOR A ROBOT!!!!

I think this is the same logic that makes me think the 32X is cool. Along with the Sega CD, it makes my Sega Genesis into a MEGAZORD.

What about all the fun combinations of Japanese PC Engine hardware? You can have some interesting variant Megazord forms with those.

If you could see my shirt now, you'd know the answer

And we don't have globetrotters.... And from what I found on Google there are only 2 courts in the entire city.... Tallest country in the world and they suck at basketball, who would have thought.

Thanks Luke

Thanks Luke

You are welcome. In every sense of the word.

I hope to one day get congratulated for putting my wife through child birth, using a child as cheap labor, and getting presents and accolades for it.

Happy Father's Day to you dudes with kids, and a special "Way to Go" to Bone. Your baby is still a baby, and without a doubt you will raise that baby as best as you can.

My wife and I went grocery shopping thins morning, and I asked the lady in produce if they had any "fresher porchini mushrooms". After a minute or two she brought a box of ones wayyy fresher than the ones in the bin. I politely thanked her, and then she said "You're welcome and Happy Father's Day.". Either my cheeks got really red or my eyes were full of mist, but within a second she apologetically asked, "I'm sorry, are you not a Dad?". I smiled and told her "Not yet", but I am a super duper wuss when that topic is addressed, even if in a quick question like "Any kids?". I fall apart because I know how much of an emotional sting questions like that hurt my wife's heart. I also have close friends that can't have kids, and in those times I think of them as well.

It's a weird thing. Nothing against abortions, but a lot of people have the miracle (well, it's not really a miracle in most cases) of birth without even wanting it. It's not the right mindset, but sometimes I feel cheated. Good thing adoption is an option.

Hey, if you want to share what your kids/wife got you for Father's Day, post em, here. If it's a card, a tie, underwear (they're sending you a message), etc., it would be cool to see as I know we have a good chunk of Dads on the site.

Any one else facing problems with the forums? I have to click reload few times before a topic would load up

I guess technically your baby is a toddler then. My mistake.

Hope all you Fathers had a relaxing and pampered weekend.

Speaking of, I've been doing a lot of research on my great Grandfather (on my Mother's side), William "Wild Bill" Kline. In today's terminology he'd be called a crooked cop, but in his time he would just be called a cop. He operated a blind pig, accepted payoffs from Al Capone, yet he was a devout Catholic and family man. What's neat about researching him is that I haven't been able to find anything about him via Internet.
