Ready for Father's Day?

I don't know whether Europeans celebrate Father's Day, but it's tomorrow here in the U.S.

I just found this on the internet. There is a T-shirt with the same slogan around, but it's sold out everywhere I looked.

Happy Father's Day to all the gaming dads out there. Hopefully, I will be one of you guys in the next five years.

I think it's only you americans who celebrate Father's Day.

Lol actually most the world do I think... It's only those crazy countries no one cares about with evil names that don't, such as Romania :razz:

We have it in UK, its just not so much of a big deal tbh.

My ignorance is indeed great, then. And I know you people like to use this celebration as a pretext for getting drunk. :razz: :cool:

...or to indulge ourselves with fancy and expensive gifts. Ahh, the joy of capitalism.

Father's day isn't such a big deal here-- in my family at least.
My dad thinks its just a fabricated holiday like so many others.
We're going out to dinner as a family, but he made us promise not to
buy him anything...

That's nice of your dad. My dad said the same, but we treat him and buy him presents anyways.

All holidays are fabricated. There are just certain holidays that were made to show due respect or something as such. But most of them have lost their meaning. Oh well. GO PRESENTS!

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Only 1 "L" in holiday Crono :wink: Most of the time my dad is away during
father's day since he works away from home, so he tends to just find
himself a few presents on his return home. We don't make a big deal out
of it, but we don't ignore the holiday either. Most people I know don't
make a huge issue out of it to be honest - a CD or something as a gift,
or perhaps taking them for a meal, is about the most anybody around
here seems to do.

I know. Sometimes I put doubles of characters in words when I type. I'm not sure why.

Ann Summers (it's a lingerie/sex toy shop) has this thing in thier window saying "Sex not Socks". That made me laugh.

I'm not having sex with my dad regardless of the day.

Instead, he's treated to working late and paying for me to have dinner with my brothers, and that is a happy Father's Day when you have kids like me. :smile:

NO WAY DUDE I THOUGHT THEY WERE PLUCKED OUT OF THE ETHER BY CTHULHU AND HIS PIXIES!!!!2@ :razz:

Who cares about meaning in a holiday, you can't force someone to believe in the true meaning Disney-style - let people make of them what they will.

The only holiday that really gets to me is Valentines Day. That's
Hallmark at work and I just don't want to go spend my money like that.

I hate
Valentine's Day and the morons here who celebrate it. Many cultures
have at least one traditional holiday that is an equivalent of
Valentine's Day yet isn't being celebrated. It's a shame to see how
thousand-year-old traditions get stamped-out by this CRAP (case of the
Dragobete, which is a Dacian inheritance thus 2000 years old.
People have been celebrating it until about 10 years ago when
Valentine's Day started to attract attention). And there are some other
morons here who party every 4th of July yet aren't Americans (not even
Anglo-saxon) and don't know when their own national day is. Pathetic. :sad:

I celebrate Christmas, my birthday, mothers/fathers day, and only Valentines day when my girlfriend makes me.

June 21 is the "F?te de la musique" in here, but we probably copied that from France. What's the relation between father's day , music day and the summer solstice??

I think Father's Day is a lowsy idea, that is until I have kids. So far
my fathers days are usually me waiting on my father, and him just being
lazy (like usual).

When I have kids, Father's Day shall be a feared day.
