So if you got a gift for Father’s Day, what did you get?
This year in the Dragwyr household, nothing says, “We love you, Dad.” better than a Brita water purifier for my faucet.
So what did you get?
I got my dad a book on Hawaii–where we’re planning to vacation next summer. I don’t know what I would have done without that idea… I wouldn’t know what to buy him if it didn’t have to do with golf or… that’s about it. :smack:
I’m going to assume my gift is still on order and it didn’t get here as quickly as anticipated, cuz I got nothing.
My dad bought himself a tie (and a new dress shirt). 
My sister and I chipped in and got him a basket of goodies that my mom wouldn’t normally keep around the house. It’s pretty difficult to get anything else for him.
We got dad a nice collared shirt, some socks, and a tin of See’s Toffee Rolls. Which reminds me, I need to go and eat some of those Toffee Rolls. 
Geez, reading the above, I REALLY feel like I lucked out!
I got all three of the “Legacy” Universal monster DVDs (Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman), packed with mini-busts of all three lead monsters.
My wife and kids rock!
I’m getting a tattoo. The wife said she’d buy me one for a gift, so next week is needle-time.
I know Saddam got one, a very nice tie to Al Qaeda, courtesy George Bush.
Crunchy Frog, you are welcome to come over any time to have a nice PURIFIED glass of water! 
I got a rock.
I was to get a nice Magellian GPS, but I’m getting a new car instead.
I didn’t get my father anything, except the pleasure of hearing his grandson saying “Bye-bye.” His reply, “God, what a great kid,” indicated it was just what he wanted.
I got a card from my parents and a card from my sister-in-law, which made me paranoid.
I opened the mailbox, saw a card addressed to me, and recognized her hadwriting. “Why is [SIL] sending me a card?” I wondered. “My birthday was three months ago. This is wierd.” Not realizing father’s day was a couple days away, I went into panic mode. “I know she likes me, but not like that.”
“Why would she send me a card?” I opened the card, and saw it was a fathers day card, and relaxed… for a monent.
“Why would she send me a father’s day card? I’m not her dad?”
I need to relax more.
Mine’s still in transit.
But unless Amazon sells ties I think I’m dodging that particular bullet.
We (me and my Dad’s soon to be son-in-law) gave him some money towards his golf buggy fund. He was pretty much like this >>>
I wanted ties. I asked for ties. I need ties. I wear a tie everyday at work.
Didn’t get any ties. Got some cool clothes, instead.
Lessee, . . .
I got a book, The Conquerors, about Roosevelt and Churchill’s handling of post-WWII Europe.
I got a beer mug. Nice, heavy base so it won’t tip over if I put it down on carpet, nice clean lines. I like beer.
And I got a PS2 games-pack: great video games of the 70’s and 80’s. Defender – YES! Robotron – YES! Joust – YES! And some other I don’t remember seeing before.
I didn’t have a beer, but I spent most of my free time yesterday playing video games with my kids. I’ll start the book just as soon as I’m done with the one I’m working on now.
A “The Mysteries of Harry Potter” book from my darling daughter.
A “Classic Spider-Man” book from my darling son.
A “Classic X-Men” book from both of them.
My children know me all too well.
Regards,
Shodan
I wanted a new laptop computer, or at least a PlayStation 2. I ended up getting a golf shirt instead.
Oh well, it’s the thought that counts.
My gift got here a few weeks ago - a Dragon’s Lair arcade system. I’m still waiting on a few key parts and the cabinet needs a little touch up but it works. =)
My four-month old daughter gave me a ‘The Far Side’ book and, most importantly, lots of smiles and chuckles.
Well, seeing as how I’m still an expecting father, my First Ever Father’s Day Gifts were…
Books on becoming a father.
Three of them. From my wife and mother-to-be of my son.
And a delicate little coffee mug with a cutesy little saying on it from my Mother In Law. One that holds just about enough cream to service the usual amount of coffee I drink in a day… (usually 72 to 96 oz.)
Dammit. I wanted a Canon Rebel-E or a new Macintosh G5 or a Ford GT or something.
At least Pasadena Ford finally sent me the Garmin GPS-V Deluxe they promised me when I bought my new car on March 26. That was a cool toy.
Oh, and I got the opportunity to take my once-finicky-and-now-ravenously-hungry pregnant wife out for dinner at a local pub so she could have their triple-chocolate-death-cake.
