Coolest… Dad… Ever.

Some kids get tree houses when they’re young. I always wanted one, but never got one.

What do this guy‘s kids get? A freakin’ BattleMech!

So, there’s frequently this guy at the convenience store where I pick up my Cokes for work. He’s often there in the early morning, and he stands in the store talking loudly and incoherently to nobody at all. Sometimes he’ll stand near the counter, going on about something (something important to him, from his tone) and one of the clerks there will give me an apologetic grin… then he’ll wander outside and stand next to the pay phones for a while, all without pausing in his rambling.

He disturbs me. I try not to look directly at him.

That is all.
