I think I miss Daddy most around our birthdays because he and I always used to celebrate and it's just not the same when he's in Cali and I'm here. So if I can't share a cake with him, the least I can do is blog about him.
Of course we all think Dad is the greatest but I think Dad's "Dad-isms are the greatest. We Dallas kids find endless enjoyment from watching football while quoting Dad. For example, people are called "bozo" or "dipstick" with disturbing frequency. So, this time around, I suggest that we remind one another of some of dad's great one liners.
I know you guys can remember more awesome Dad quotes that "would make a rabbit slap a bear" so don't just sit there...GET TO POSTING!
WE LOVE YOU DAD!!! HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT ONE!

Well, Lisa frequently hears me tell her how I am a "freaking genius". That phrase will forever live on in my house, even if it is just me referring to myself. And during last weekend's visit down at the padres house, Lisa remarked, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." This came after Dad walked intot he room and said to mom something along the lines of "Tell me how amazing you think I am". Then Lisa decided to tell them how I frequently use lines such as "Who's the man, WHO IS THE MAN?!" or Who's your Daddy?" I have no idea what she is talking about.
My all-time favorite, "Harry, you RETARD!" I've never laughed so hard.
How about: "Don't think!"
"We have to make it look like _____ people live here."
"What is that __________ doing?"
"Too many _____________ drivers in the world."
"Go stand on the stump."
"Go tell your mother she wants you."
"I brought you into this world, and I can take you out of it."
"Your idea of long range planning is 'What's for dinner?'"
"Dooofussssss."
"Dad gummmmmuuuut!"
"You couldn't hit a bull in the [keyster] with a handfull of popcorn at close range."
"Gumshoe!!!!!!" [Screamed at soccer games]
"They don't like that call..."
You guys are cracking me up. My favorite one liner came when we were watching a Laker game (okay, I wasn't really watching it, but it was on) and your dad walked in the room, looked at the cheerleaders performing at halftime and said, "Those women are fat and trashy." I almost died laughing.
You guys took all the good ones except for...and Dale will appreciate this one--Ho, is that short for hoser?
Michelle, that may have been the best one ever. Wow. Flashback to coming home from a night working at the Merv. I still remember that. I think I was heating up frozen taquitos for dinner. I belive you were referring to Paulina.
I thought of another one last night:
"If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you."
I just remembered this one. "There are two kinds of men in this world. Those that are henpecked and those that say they ain't and if a man will lie to you about that he'll lie to you about anything." Ah, Dad.
Wow, Dale...that is amazing. Each one that I read just made me laugh harder and harder. Each one brings back fond memories. Seriously hilarious.
A couple of favorite driving terms:
Utah driver = Plow Jockey
Fast Driver = Speed Kng
Any Driver doing anything uncalled for = Idiota or Estupido
Ha ha ha ha ha. I seriously died just now laughing at these quotes. My roommate kept asking what I thought was so funny. I was afraid my all time favorite would already be posted, but I see that you left the fun for me:
To Mark after teasing me incesently about giving him a hug:
"I am sick and tired of you asking Wanna hug hug hug hug hug hug hug hug hug?"
Even better than the actual words coming out of his mouth was the facial expression and body posture as he said it!
