what do you buy for a man that has everything?
 
and i mean EVERYTHING. if he doesn't have it, but wants it... he buys it himself.

suggestions?

EMMAh 06.13.2008 02:20 PM

A sexy time?

I dunno... I'm terrible at buying people gifts.

!@#$%! 06.13.2008 02:20 PM

lapdance?

no idea!

uhler 06.13.2008 02:20 PM

✌➬ 06.13.2008 02:21 PM

She specified this was for a MAN.

!@#$%! 06.13.2008 02:22 PM

laxative!

yeah!

that way he can get rid of "everything", and the buying can start again.

mangajunky 06.13.2008 02:22 PM

something personal and inexpensive

oh hm.

then nothing, obviously.

oh you mean for "father's day"?

why don't you let him take you out to brunch instead.

he's evidently loaded.

girlgun 06.13.2008 02:24 PM

pfft. as if he wants to spend time with me.

EMMAh 06.13.2008 02:24 PM

Well, I dunno what your relationship with your dad is, but I would never get my dad a sexy time.

We're getting my dad golf balls for fathers day, and maybe hot sauce.

my dad's only hobbies entail things that will make him money.

manga... it was good natured sarcasm. i want to get him something personal and inexpensive, but i don't know what that'd be.

Pookie 06.13.2008 02:26 PM

I definitely like personal presents, especially when thought has been put into it.

But I also hate the thought that somebody has agonised over a present.

This is of no use to you I'm sure.

jakeonguitar 06.13.2008 02:26 PM

A container to put all that shit in.

i see my dad everyday.... and he's very good to me, i.e. he pays for my boy's school etc. but i see him so often... spending time with him isn't necessary. i just need to get him something thoughtful. or cool.

I figured. It's kind of tough to recommend something without knowing the person. Especially if you're trying to be personal.

Think of something he likes to do and then get him something associated with that - like tickets to a sporting event or a day at the golf course.

✌➬ 06.13.2008 02:30 PM

girlgun is a mommy? OMG, she is the fucking best.

girlgun 06.13.2008 02:30 PM

it's just so hard. god.

for example, manga. he has tickets to EVERY sporting event already. even women's softball. he doesn't play any sports, not even golf.

he travels extensively and drills oil wells for fun.

i think i might have an idea!

oh, the way you wrote it sounded like he despises you ha ha.

well fuck, get him some flowers-- take him to the horse races-- buy him some biotech stock-- what the fuck do i know? you know him better than any of us put together yo.

✌➬ 06.13.2008 02:32 PM

Cool, you just made me fall more in love with you.

girlgun 06.13.2008 02:35 PM

i'm thinking maybe i'll get him one of those books that has all the old (like from the 20s, 30s) pics from oklahoma... a lot of them have pics of oil wells, drill sites, etc.

like this

 

!@#$%! 06.13.2008 02:40 PM

there you go

adios

girlgun 06.13.2008 02:41 PM

i think they're neat pics..

 

mangajunky 06.13.2008 02:43 PM

those are really cool and personal. Framed they'd make a great gift.
