With Fathers Day scheduled for this weekend, I've decided to take it kind of easy from my blogging responsibilities this week.  That and the fact that I am WAAAAAAY too swamped with projects to mess around with my usual wordy posts.

So in honor of dads everywhere, (and grand-dads too), I thought I'd share a few of my favorite fatherly quotes from my favorite of fatherly cartoon characters, Homer Simpson.  (Not that I advocate his parenting techniques...)

"Kids, this is the holiest night of the year, tomorrow is Father's Day, and that makes tonight, Father's Day Eve"

"Son, if you really want something in this life, you have to work for it. Now quiet! They're about to announce the lottery numbers."

"Well, it's 1 a.m. Better go home and spend some quality time with the kids."

"Son, when you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose: it's how drunk you get."

"Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try."

Happy Fathers Day to all of the fathers out there, especially my own dad Dick Linderman.
