Have a Happy G33k Fathers Day

   Welcome back to I-TG33k, I'm THE I-TG33k, Denny Clinton here with a very special post. This time we're going to talk about the upcoming (or if you're a procrastinator, just passed) holiday, Fathers Day. I know, it's not the most important holiday out there and it's typically a hastily put together celebration or maybe not even celebrated at all. I'm sure a typical Fathers Day consists of a meal being made or bought for Dad while he receives gifts from his kids (usually homemade, which is cool! don't start with the hate mail) and possibly something from the wife or girlfriend (or both if Big Daddy's got it like that....)
   Now, to keep this n the theme of our little show here, I'm going to give out some tips for you folks if the Dad in your life is something of a G33k.... So basically this is a thinly veiled attempt at telling Mrs. G33k " This is what I want you to do for me!!!!" but I digress. Back to the point at hand..... How do you make a successful and well appreciated G33k Fathers Day?
   Let's start with the morning.... Make your guy breakfast.... doesn't have to be delivered in bed because honestly, who the hell wants to try and eat eggs, bacon and toast while laying buck naked in bed..... crumbs get into some pretty uncomfortable areas and it's more than a little awkward eating naked... laying down... and being watched by kids.... No, Dad can muster the energy to come downstairs and stuff his face. Next, wait to give him his card and presents until he's done eating..... I don't know about you, but when I'm eating.... I'M EATING!!!! let me have some peace and read the paper ( or more likely PCWorld Magazine or the latest issue of X-Men). Once Dad's gullet is stuffed then you can move on to the gifts.... 
     So, lets talk about the gift choices..... if Dad is like ol' I-TG33k he'll appreciate anything you get for him... but do you really want to wow him? Follow my tips here.  

1.) Get him a G33k gift: You can never go wrong with tech. I'm sure there's something he's been eyeballing... probably a Tablet ( Microsoft Surface Pro or IPad3 if you're reading this Mrs. G33k!!!!) or even better get creative.... does dad have a favorite comic book character? Get him some COOL merch related to that hero. Now, don't just go out to Walmart and grab a cheesy T-shirt and think thats going to win the day.... that's not creative and usually those WallyWorld t-shirts are LAME. Do some web research, find something really cool, like an Art Deco piece featuring the hero.... trust me they're out there and not really that expensive.

2.) Gift Cards are never a bad idea:  Seriously, it's not hard... Dad's favorite comic shop, any Tech store (Like Best Buy) or even Amazon or ITunes...... Dad can get what he wants and you don't come off looking like a douchelord.

3.) Ahem .... Bedroom gifts: ..... what? do I really have to explain this? (If so, you are too young to be reading this blog.... Go Play Skylanders ya little creep)

Ok now that gifts are taken care of what should you do for the rest of the day to make it enjoyable for dear old dad? That's easy enough.... Let him decide. BUT there is a caveat to that rule..... he's gotta choose something that includes the family... none of this  Watching sports or playing MMOs uninterrupted all day bullshit... if that's how he wants to spend Fathers Day then he's the DoucheLord and should be punched in the neck and served  divorce papers....

Now I'm going to field a few Father's Day etiquette questions to clear up any confusion

Q: How late should Dad get to sleep in?       
A: 9:00 am is suitable, again .. only a DoucheLord would want to sleep his day away....

Q: Is it ok to make Dad cook on Father's Day?
A; Yes, but only if it involves the grill, seriously if the meal is being made in the kitchen the ladies can handle it.

Q: How much work around the house is Ok to make Dad do on Father's Day?
A: Are you fucking INSANE???? None. Not a single Minute of his day should be wasted with manual labor! Let the poor bastard enjoy himself for once!!!!

Q: Is nookie expected on Father's Day?
A: expected? NO.... it is fucking MANDATORY!!!!!!!  It's Father's day, a day all about him..... He gets this damn holiday for that goddamn reason! Give that man some ass!!!!



And that looks like a good place to wrap this up. Keep in mind that all opinions expressed here are my own and may be disregarded..... 

and as always:
Until Next Time: M3G@BYT3 ME, Bitches!
