Really, what would you say?

You're a 52-year-old trucker, and you blew your chance with the Cincinnati Reds, blew your full-ride football scholarship at VMI, blew it all because you were just stubborn and rebellious and dumb.

And then one day, your 8-year-old granddaughter tells you that you ought to get on a thing called Facebook, and two weeks later, somebody on this Facebook thing is telling you that you have a son.

And not just a son, but Nick Jones, the strapping, two-time NCAA Division II discus champ and starting defensive end for Abilene Christian University.

Oh Urroner, I thought you were going to annouce that you got fixed or something.

Great.... just f@#$%*^ great... after all of the work I do convincing urroner that he is a special and beautiful child of God, you go and erase it all by making him think he needs to be "fixed."

Do you have ANY idea how many more times I am going to have to sing nursery songs to him now? ANY IDEA!?!?!?!?!

[urroner]

Why would I need to be fixed, here are a few pictures of my fine children:

My two oldest sons:


My youngest daughter, age 15:


My youngest and the cute neighbor's child:


And here is the ravishing mother of my fine children:


So honestly people, why would you want me to get fixed?? Having my genes swim freely in your gene pool would be a true blessing.

Sounds like a preview to the next Syfy movie, a real horror story.
