It’s the middle of June, and that can mean only one thing. Necktie and golf ball manufacturers are smiling, for this Sunday is that magical day when children across the nation give the gift that says, “You know, adult male who lives with us, it turns out I really don’t know you all that well.” Just be sure, if you go the Titleist route, that you don’t go cheap. An extra 20 yards on his drive is a gift he won’t soon forget. But regardless how impersonal the gift, just be sure to at the very least say thanks. After all, whether he’s been there for you your whole life, or only for that ill-advised drunken five minutes back at the very beginning, you wouldn’t be here without him.

Quote of the Week

CVS at Connecticut and K, in front of the Father’s Day cards.

20-something girl to her friend: “Hmm. They don’t have one that says, ‘Hey, you’re a douche bag, but I need to be nice to you so you’ll keep sending child-support payments.'”

After the jump, oenological misnomers, the candyman can (get you drunk), and more Paris overexposure.

Your father probably told that only hoodlums and ne’er-do-wells eavesdrop. What, you’re going to start listening to him now? overheardindc (at) gmail (dot) com.
