Folklore for the 21st century

Forgive me if you’ve already stumbled upon this — I’m usually late to these parties — but you should drop whatever it is you’re doing and take a squint at a Twitterer who posts under the name shitmydadsays. The “author” is Justin, who says he’s 29 and lives with his 73-year-old dad.

“He is awesome,” writes Justin. “I just write down shit that he says.” And so he is. I laughed out loud, and more than once. Since I think everything sucks, you can take this as high praise.

  1. shitmydadsays is important reading. It’s the kind of wisdom that I’ll remember for a long, long time. At least until I’m a grizzled ol’ fart spouting common sense laden with expletives. Then maybe somebody will write down what I say.

    Well, I can dream.

  2. One of my relatives managed a TGI Fridays in NYC for a while. He was glad when he could get out of there because he got tired of apologizing to to people about how bad the food was.

  3. I was having a truly crappy couple of weeks. This is a total gem. Just what I needed.

    Patrick, you are a god.

  4. The question I also think to myself is if it will eventually change from shit my dad (mom) says to shit my dad (mom) said and now we are saying the same things… Scary to think that will happen.

  5. Great site, eh? I have it on good authority from the usually reliable sources that the same publishing company which prints Jef Mallett’s “Frazz” books is trying to sign this guy to a book deal. Since he already has a half-million followers, it sounds like he might enjoy some small success, no?
