If you haven’t seen this, it’s kind-of awesome. Yes, it’s nearly 9 minutes long. But, after this Southern dad (who also happens to work in IT) angrily addresses points in one of his daughter’s Facebook rants about him, he unloads his .45 into the girl’s laptop. So rad.
Maybe not great parenting, but damn funny. The bullets start flying around the 7 min., 30 sec. mark.
Guess what’s premiering next week?
A NEW EPISODE OF FIGHTING WITH BABIES! HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!
Spread the word and stay tuned for the next episode of the show that puts the “felt” in heartfelt.
If this had existed in my neighborhood as a kid, I would’ve spent most of my days on it reenacting the launch sequence from the original Battlestar Galactica series instead of riding my bike and dangerously crisscrossing paths with my friends as we reenacted the light cycle scene from Tron.
How can you tame a screaming toddler? SCIENCE!

What’s Behind A Temper Tantrum? Scientists Deconstruct The Screams
Toddlers outfitted with high-tech wireless recording devices have helped researchers discover that tantrums have a very distinct, predictable pattern. Understanding that tantrums have a rhythm can not only help parents know when to intervene, but also give them a sense of control.
The best quote of the piece (which admittedly was said partially in jest) comes from study co-author Michael Potegal of the University of Minnesota:
“We have the most quantitative theory of tantrums that has ever been developed in the history of humankind.”
SCIENCE!
Movember’s over, so the mustache can officially come off. Thanks to Phillips Norelco for donating $15,000 to the Dad 2.0 team’s fundraising efforts and sending us all the Vacuum Stubble & Beard Shaver and SensoTouch 3D Shaver. The tools allowed me to effortlessly get my face back to normal after a month of looking like a homeless trucker porn star. Awesome stuff.
This video is part of the Stache-tacular Shave Off event, which features NorelcoDads from our Movember team de-mustaching. (Aside from the voyeurism of watching me shave, there’s a little surprise at the end of my video for you all.) And if you’re interested, there’s a holiday rebate on the awesome SensoTouch shaver — perfect for that scruffy man, Bigfoot or Captain Caveman in your life.
By the way, a representative of the organization behind Movember was at the event last night. He said the total pull for the month from all participants nationwide was $1.1 million. Fucking rad.
(*Philips Norelco provided me with free products and my opinions are my own. Neener-neener.)
Parents Keep Deceased Son’s Memory Alive Through His Awful Tumblr (Onion News Network)
Shitbirds…
Off-topic, but about Tumblr.
If this were real, I’d totally follow that blog.
In my house, Morphine’s Cure For Pain…
Heavy. Fucking. Rotation.
Do yourself a favor. Watch and/or listen.
Not really about parenting other than the fact that this album is my mental escape from handling human turds. Dog turds, too.
