Why, vixen, have you again set the gods by the ears in the pride and haughtiness of your heart?
I guess if you put it in and left the can closed while you were passed out, it would work for that.

Actually I do have a collapsible shovel in there, thanks for reminding me. Ponchos are for dorks (and knife+emergency blanket=poncho if required).

Dad over 40 pro-tip: get a clip of some kind, preferably made of silver, that's useful, but not strictly necessary, and makes him feel respectable. Tie clip, cufflinks, money clip. Anything like that.

Everyone pretty much. But watch out, because men are paying extra now for poo poo like yoghurt. Anywhere that they wander into a world where the fair and expected price is unknown to them. . . . . . .

GREAT gifts:


    Raccoon penis bones
    Porcupine claws
    Trophies for things they didn't do
    Buttons for political campaigns before their time
    Cat treats (if they have a cat)
    Rocks and minerals
    Electric kettles (if they're Americans and don't know this is a thing)
    Heat lamps
    Human teeth (ethical)
    Potted plants
    Rusty railroad spikes or mysterious objects from past times, like those really good meat grinders
    Stamps commemorating weird events or things that are uncomfortable now
    A desk of Presidential flashcards where you gave each president a new nickname in Sharpie
    Tiny erasers shaped like ocean fish
    Lots of candy
    Weird food that is difficult to get under normal circumstances
    Dollar-store Light-Brites
    A jar with a bunch of sugar cubes in it and exactly one ant which will live its life in luxury but die alone (it's a metaphor)
    Resin dollops with one of your hairs in it like amber

One of my friend's favorite gifts from her bf was one of his really sweaty shirts, because it smelled like him when he was away. He gave it to her as a joke.

One time someone gave me a 5 lb block of unsliced bacon because MAN BACON LOVE and it probably would have been an okay gift except I don't like bacon that much and it took up all of the room in my fridge.


So I guess what I'm saying is probably just get him a live pig instead, then it can live outside and he can have other pork meats that aren't bacon.

It's rude to give dads things like that, also on the no-no list are nooses, packs of razor blades, vacuum hose and roll of duct tape, etc.
