Obligatory (And Quick!) Father's Day Post

Possibly one of the most endearing father-son moments in a movie — except for maybe the scene in Space Jam when the doctor says that DNA test reveals Michael Jordan is in fact Bugs Bunny's father — is the Field of Dreams "Dad, you want to have a catch?" scene. It also marks one of the last times we cried at the end of a Kevin Costner movie because it was heartfelt, and not because it was already two days later.


I guess this is also as good a time as any to wish a rip roarin' Father's Day to my dad. Since I can't see him today, wishing it electronically is the next best thing. The scary part is that he and I are way too similar, probably more than I'd like. Same round face. Same inability to share possessions. Same back hair. The only differences are that he watches NASCAR, and he had sex with my mom, which is something I wouldn't possibly think of doing. But hey, good for him.

So there. A Father's Day post. Go Dad. (I did get the Field of Dreams clip idea from Fark, but it was my idea to infuse the post with a joke that will make our next conversation totally awkward if he reads this.)
