Adopted Korean-American Skier Finds Father

Some guy was lost by his parents in a shopping market in Korea and it took them 26 years to find him again.

Eddie McNamara, Dethroner’s pal from the local force, returns to drop another pearl of wisdom and advice. This time it’s less about John Q. Law and more about John Q. Dad, and why a sensible man should never, ever take part in repopulating his planet.
It should be noted that Eddie and his wife don’t have [...]

Meth Dealing Principal

Middle school principal deals crystal meth out of his office. I wonder how many Saturday schools he will get for that one. [CNN]

Before you become a father, it’s easy to get cocky about what horrors you have in store for your progeny. Father-son fishing trips, beer clean-up duty for toddlers, male breastfeeding; that sort of thing. Nature’s little secret, though, is that when the big day actually rolls around, your body will have been transformed into a [...]

Intrepid Aussie inventor builds his own two-fifths scale Sherman tank and films a lot of the build process for our enjoyment. What a nice guy! The custom transmission is especially impressive, made from just a few pulleys and folded and bolted seat belt webbing.
Part five is above—I love the Andrew Sisters song—while the rest of [...]

Baby Brownlee’s Burden

Granted, there were some clingy child brides I managed to lose in the festering bowels of Calcutta, so there’s a few question marks. Nevertheless, I am fairly certain that each and every one of the billions of protozoic spermatozoa I have produced in a lifelong career of fluid expenditure have died a mass genocide. Metaphorically, [...]

I understand that there may be a need for a handler to assist two finicky purebred dogs while they get it on, especially if the goal is to slip the lipstick into a vial or something (breakfast of champions!), but do they really need to take pictures? That’s just tawdry.

Honey, You Were a Baby!

Technically this comic is about motherhood, but I think it expresses sentiments we can all share about your decision to have children.
You know what else are like unwanted children? Stupid paragraphs that you have insert just to get the text to layout properly. Your mother and I never even wanted you, paragraph. We were painters.
The [...]

So Xtine and I managed to swing a fabulous deal and are in the midst of a long-overdue and much-needed fling down in Luquillo, Puerto Rico. We did this exact trip last year, because Xtine’s college roomate’s parents do two weeks here every year and they had room for us then as now. It was [...]

One of the most gut-wrenching, time-consuming tasks of new parenthood is one which fathers can’t much help with: breastfeeding. Dads, of course, can politely ask “How’s that latch going?” Or they can question the frequency of feedings (This one’s my specialty: Is he eating too much!?!? Is he eating too little!??!?). But that, for [...]

Dating in Parallel

If your dating life seems out of sorts, it’s only because you’ve not properly wired your relationships. I’ll follow Brownlee’s lead and let this gem sparkle on its own:
Let’s let V be potential difference between dating girls and doing something productive, I be current of love, and R be resistance to current flow. The problem [...]

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
M&Ms prove Darwin was right Thanks Ryan  # 0
