Used Dads


>>Comparison of Used Cars and Used Dads.  A lot in common...



^^Used Dads are beat up, dented, scratched, scarred, and sputtering.

^^Worn out, worn in, broken, smoking, and hoping.  "Lord, just get me there."


^^Used Dads are familiar with rejection and neglect, it's an important skill.  Some sit idle for months, years even.

^^Bad spark plugs, cracking belts, bubbling tint, dents, missing rims, and bald tires.


^^The golf course is the junkyard of Used Dads, not many New Dads around. 

^^Used Dads have great stories--roadkills, hydroplanes, burnouts, bugs, skid marks.


^^ No big deal being a Used Dad, nothing that can't be replaced, or fixed up, or taped up, or polished up, or waxxed up.  Or, ignored.

^^Run long enough and a Used Dad might become a classic.  Find himself in a parade.  Live in a garage.

What does CBS stand for anyway?  Doesn't matter now, they've become irrelevant, a bleak reminder of last century.  The fool's century.  Duped and looped.  Now we know. We started in around the late 40's, picking fights, manipulation, sinister and crude.  Stealthy.  Spies with eyes in the skies.  Peace was never kept, it was invaded.  America was a TV show on CBS.

Sources Say 2: They Miss The Ink

  Related to manipulation abuse, but with a capitalistic twist.  They are paid by the manipulators and the victims of manipulation.  It's a winning business model until the walls come crumbling down on the street, until the curtains pull back.  You thought Oz was bad, at least they got you back to Kansas.  These journal jerks got nothing. Even a few of my sources have moved on, the wreck has left the place dim and disgruntled.  Evidently, what's-her-name stormed out of a staff meeting in tears, mumbling something about pills and booze and karaoke night.  Guess it didn't go well.  Everyone laughed at her when she left the room, seems a real toxic work environment.  They miss the ink. But that won't stop them from cheering on China, and for good reasons.  Ask the finance department.  Money's money, honey, and they got the name, the bull statue, the cufflinks.  They got smear jobs, insinuations, and an editorial board.  Somew...
