Pretty Sure Hallmark Will Be Beating Down My Door…To Kill Me.

June17

So I totally swallowed the red pill on Mother’s Day and forgot to make more of my cards-you-should-never-send-to-someone-unless-you-hate-them. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you’re probably better off, but here’s the link. As you can see, I have a lot of work to do (most of that is going to be finding artwork I can actually USE, which is shockingly difficult) (I’m all ears to suggestions)(if any of these are your images and I’ve taken them in error, please let me know and I’ll remove them immediately).

But Father’s Day is this weekend, and how could I forget with The Daver constantly telling me things like, “Oh, well, the new iPHONE is coming out!” and “I need a new computer!!” Because apparently, Father’s Day is cause for me forking over loads of cash. Who knew?

Since I borked on Mother’s Day, I figured I should make it up to all of the three dads out there who read my blog and might appreciate the sentiment. If Hallmark were smart, this is what they’d make because inappropriate is always better than appropriate.

    you make me happy in the pants. I need one that says: Even though I was a little asshat shitforbrains, thank you for never sending me back to the state, Dad. You’re the tops.

    😀

    Bwahahaha! I need to find more pictures!

  3. On June 17th, 2010 at 1:00 pm stacey@Havoc&Mayhem Says:

    I like the second one

  4. On June 17th, 2010 at 1:04 pm Jacqueline Says:

    I love them and I’m sure my dad would too. My mom, on the other hand, would probably refuse to speak to me for the rest of the day.

  5. On June 17th, 2010 at 1:14 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    My parents would probably both love them, actually. My sense of humor started with them.

    Lucky.

    When my son was first born, we had just gotten a Nintendo GameCube so we played it. A lot. When my son would cry, my response was always “Mommy’s playing Nintendo right now!” I still get shit for that one but it made me laugh. 🙂

  8. On June 17th, 2010 at 1:13 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    I did the SAME THING, only with a Wii! There’s something about video games that was REALLY soothing right then. Alex was REALLY colicky and the Wii saved me…and him, I think.

  9. On June 20th, 2010 at 6:42 pm Barb Says:

    When your son was first born? Wha???

    Oh, never mind, I get it. “Born again”. Duh.

  10. On June 21st, 2010 at 4:35 pm Bummed Uterus Says:

    I guess I meant to simply say “When my son was BORN.” Although he is my first born too. Sometimes my English skills are wonky and unsophisticated. Like me. 🙂

  11. On June 17th, 2010 at 1:05 pm Mommy on the Spot Says:

    2nd and 3rd ones are the best! thanks for this. i needed a laugh today!!

  12. On June 17th, 2010 at 1:41 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    Me freaking too!

  13. On June 17th, 2010 at 1:06 pm Tracy Spillane Says:

    You complete me.

  14. On June 17th, 2010 at 1:07 pm Tracy Spillane Says:

    I’m so glad I discovered you through my sister. You complete me.

  15. On June 17th, 2010 at 1:14 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    *blushes* I think I love you.

  16. On June 17th, 2010 at 1:16 pm Capn John Says:

    I really like the “Daddy, I’m so glad you didn’t use birth control.” That one is actually quite cute 🙂

    Of course I’m a dad, so I’m probably a little biased 😉

  17. On June 17th, 2010 at 1:43 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    It’s LITERALLY the only one I could find of a kid and a dad. I would have done more, but I couldn’t find any.

  18. On June 17th, 2010 at 1:17 pm Barbara Says:

    The lemonde one killed me! So awesome!

  19. On June 17th, 2010 at 1:41 pm Melissa Says:

    I need one for my Dad thanking him for burning the image of middle age men in their tighty whiteys into my retina.

    I cannot date men who wear them because of him. I guess he had a problem with losing his pants for a few years too.

  20. On June 17th, 2010 at 1:42 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    Perhaps my pants are with his. Day 6 and still, no pants.

  21. On June 17th, 2010 at 1:44 pm MommaKiss Says:

    not even gonna lie, my child wore a “daddy drinks because I cry” onsie. And then my nephew wore it. And then my second child wore it. Fantastic.

  22. On June 20th, 2010 at 2:25 am poosemommy Says:

    I SO wanted that onesie for the Poose! I never got around to it, and somehow it seems less appropriate for a 4 year old (is that weird?)

  23. On June 17th, 2010 at 12:57 pm Ms. Moon Says:

    My favorite is the last.

  24. On June 17th, 2010 at 1:00 pm Angie [A Whole Lot of Nothing] Says:

    I’m ordering one in size XL.

  25. On June 17th, 2010 at 2:04 pm toywithme Says:

    You crack my ass up! I would love a couple made into t-shirts.

  26. On June 17th, 2010 at 1:10 pm Erin Says:

    I heart you Aunt Becky. These are hysterical.

    FWIW, J is getting some Star Wars pancake molds with which I will make pancakes that morning. They’re Williams-Sonoma, though, so that automatically makes them awesome.

  27. On June 17th, 2010 at 1:12 pm Your Aunt Becky Says:

    Dave MIGHT pee for those. I STILL haven’t bought him anything which means he’s going to petition for a car or something.

  28. On June 18th, 2010 at 9:33 am Kendra Says:

    Oh, my God. There are Star Wars pancake molds? If they’re less than $100 (and I know they might be that much), I’m totally getting them. My boys will love me forever if they can have Star Wars-shaped pancakes for breakfast!

  29. On June 18th, 2010 at 11:31 am Your Aunt Becky Says:

    Williams Sonoma.

  30. On June 17th, 2010 at 2:12 pm Stephanie Says:

    LOVE the cards. Do you care if I print them and use them for fathers day? EVERYONE should get one of these. Much too good to pass up!

  31. On June 17th, 2010 at 2:31 pm Professor M... Says:

    Your Lemonade card made me spit the lemonade out I was sipping! Great idea for cards! Hilarious!

  32. On June 17th, 2010 at 2:36 pm Becky Mochaface Says:

    My favorite is the last one.

  33. On June 17th, 2010 at 2:53 pm The Crazy Suburban Mom Says:

    Bwa-hahahahaha! You made me laugh and that’s no small feat today. I have a migraine so thank you. Thank you. And thank you again.

  34. On June 17th, 2010 at 2:53 pm Heather Says:

    LMAO!! Love them!! 🙂

  35. On June 17th, 2010 at 1:54 pm Ashley K. Says:

    Hilarious!

  36. On June 17th, 2010 at 2:55 pm Fran Says:

    That last one is the best!!!!!!

  37. On June 17th, 2010 at 3:20 pm Aunt Juicebox Says:

    Maybe you can take your own pictures of stuff, then you don’t have to worry about it. And I’m sure you could be much more creative about it that way too.

  38. On June 17th, 2010 at 3:42 pm pattypunker Says:

    now who wants a fucking burger! loves it.

    i want a mothers day one that says “my day is bigger than yours and size does matter.”

  39. On June 17th, 2010 at 3:44 pm pattypunker Says:

    i meant father’s day one. doh.

  40. On June 17th, 2010 at 2:44 pm Vinomom Says:

    I like the “Your sister is a slut” one. Classics as usual!

  41. On June 17th, 2010 at 5:18 pm Kristin Says:

    You are a sick and twisted woman Aunt Becky. Thank you for my much needed daily dose of snark.

  42. On June 17th, 2010 at 5:40 pm daisybv2 Says:

  45. On June 17th, 2010 at 7:49 pm Rebecca Says:

    My favorites are ‘daddy drinks because you cry’ and ‘thanks for not using birth control’. Bawaahaha

  46. On June 17th, 2010 at 8:41 pm Shin Ae Says:

    These are your best bunch yet! I’m stealing one of each.

    (Just kidding. I don’t even know how to do that.)

  47. On June 17th, 2010 at 8:55 pm CycleNinja Says:

    These remind me of the baby t-shirt my knocked-up friend got at her baby shower: “All mommy wanted was a back rub.”

  48. On June 17th, 2010 at 9:37 pm pam-tastic Says:

    Once again…you’ve totally ruined anything I could find at Hallmark…yours rock!

  49. On June 18th, 2010 at 11:35 am Your Aunt Becky Says:

    Hallmark is for old people. Snarky is ALWAYS in season!

  50. On June 17th, 2010 at 11:06 pm foradifferentkindofgirl (fadkog) Says:

    I just went through receipts from last month to pay bills and discovered how much my Mother’s Day gift cost. Let’s just say the card my husband gave me cost slightly more. Methinks I’m going to ponder one of these cards for him because really, these are priceless!

    😉

  51. On June 18th, 2010 at 11:34 am Your Aunt Becky Says:

    I uh, got, uh…what did I get for Mother’s Day again? OH YEAH. NOTHING.

  52. On June 17th, 2010 at 10:25 pm SciFi Dad Says:

    Dammit. Now I can’t do this!

    (also: mobile version caches email addresses)

  53. On June 18th, 2010 at 10:47 am Your Aunt Becky Says:

    Is it STILL having issues with email addresses? And yes, you can totally do the card thing.

  54. On June 17th, 2010 at 11:26 pm Hockeymandad Says:

    Dammit woman, your posting all my secrets! Especially the golf one. 😉

  55. On June 18th, 2010 at 11:34 am Your Aunt Becky Says:

    Next time, remind me not to ask you for help with these 🙂

  56. On June 18th, 2010 at 4:15 am Betty M Says:

    Loving the golf cards in particular. Not that the husband plays golf but still…

  57. On June 18th, 2010 at 11:34 am Your Aunt Becky Says:

    I think it could apply to ANYTHING, you know?

  58. On June 18th, 2010 at 5:00 am Mwa Says:

    That last one was priceless!

  59. On June 18th, 2010 at 11:33 am Your Aunt Becky Says:

    I THINK the vasectomy one was my favorite, only because of the look in his eyes.

  60. On June 18th, 2010 at 6:37 am Jennifer June Says:

    I was reading my mom’s (the short curly haired tambourine player you nailed in the back of your van after you gig at the folk fest in 1969) diary the other day and as it turns out I wasn’t immaculately conceived after all!.

    SURPRISE!

    Happy Father’s Day

  61. On June 18th, 2010 at 11:32 am Your Aunt Becky Says:

    Bwahaha! I was LOOKING for snaps like that, but I couldn’t find ANYTHING. I will try again. I am nothing but tenacious.

  62. On June 18th, 2010 at 9:34 am Kendra Says:

    “Daddy Drinks Because I Cry.” Priceless!

  63. On June 18th, 2010 at 10:25 am Inna Says:

    I love the lemonade pee one! He probably won’t be able to tell the difference after all the beer! hahahahah

  64. On June 18th, 2010 at 11:30 am Your Aunt Becky Says:

    The looks on their faces is what kills me.

  65. On June 18th, 2010 at 11:20 am J.R. Reed Says:

    OMG! I thought that my Hallmark moments were awesome, but they shrink in comparison to the witty prose that spews from your keyboard. High five to you Aunt Becky!!!

  66. On June 18th, 2010 at 11:30 am Your Aunt Becky Says:

    *blushes* I think there’s room for ALL of us.

  67. On June 18th, 2010 at 12:52 pm Trista Says:

    Holy crap, you just answered my question about what to get my husband for Father’s Day (although technically shouldn’t that be my kid’s problem?) He’s getting a framed set of these greeting cards, but I may photoshop his face onto the dad’s faces in the pictures. And also possibly on the golf balls, because it would amuse me.

    The birth control one slays me.

  68. On June 18th, 2010 at 3:32 pm Lori Says:

    bahahaha!! CLASSIC!! LOVE IT!

  69. On June 19th, 2010 at 6:33 pm mumma boo Says:

    You need to make these into a full merchandise line for next year. Drink coasters, beer mugs, party-ware. You’d be living like an heiress in no time.

  70. On June 21st, 2010 at 7:48 am cakemix Says:

    i serve lemonade to all my men. just to be safe.

  71. On June 21st, 2010 at 3:52 pm kalakly Says:

    Your cards make me damn proud to know you:)
    xxoo (I’m posting my fav with props to you on fb)
