Father’s Day is Sunday, and before you say, “oh, crap,” and rush out to buy a gift hoping that you can magically get it to your father in time, I’ve got a better idea for you.

I love your list of kick ass dads. Hope you apprecate some of my additions. We totally could include Darth Vader (The Bad Ass of Dads), Frank Castle (Killing everyone that killed his family), and the dad in that Mel Gibson movie Ransom (This is as close as you will get to this money) and can this one not be more obvious….Big Daddy from none other then KICK ASS 😉
