That was completely awesome. What a good natured dad he has. posted by oneirodynia at 8:15 PM on January 3, 2008
That was fun--I love the documentation and logs of the conversations. I don't know the origin of the site's name, but I think it ties in nicely with the mystery face. posted by bonobo at 8:15 PM on January 3, 2008
Just when I have gotten ready to give up on the Web, thanks to things like Two Girls, One Cup, which just encourages my cynicism and disgust for humanity, something like this comes along and reminds me that the Internet is the greatest and most important invention in human history. posted by Astro Zombie at 8:18 PM on January 3, 2008
I love The Sneeze, and this was a great series of posts. Steve is hilarious. I got a huge kick last week out of the comments Steve left on his friend's Bigfoot vs. Yeti vote (I considered FPPing it, but decided it was too thin). I'm also a fan of the time he made Prison Sangria. The Sneeze and Mimi Smartypants are the only personal blogs that I've found worth reading. posted by painquale at 8:19 PM on January 3, 2008 [4 favorites]
That was so sweet. I'm apparently a bit of a softie for fathers and sons who actually like each other. posted by mykescipark at 8:23 PM on January 3, 2008 [2 favorites]
That was beautiful. posted by empath at 8:39 PM on January 3, 2008
Yes, The Sneeze always delivers quality entertainment. So I'm sorry to be a grouch here, but c'mon guys, does everypageSteve makes really warrant its own one-linker? If you haven't bookmarked the site by now, then I'm not gonna feel sorry if you miss out on the hilarity. posted by gueneverey at 8:40 PM on January 3, 2008
THAT was the best thing I've seen on the internet all week. posted by intermod at 8:47 PM on January 3, 2008

We love you, too, mrnutty. posted by bonobo at 9:14 PM on January 3, 2008
I'm going to have to chime in and agree with everyone here. I really loved this post and that dad is a great sport. I guess there's still a soft spot left on my heart somewhere... posted by MaryDellamorte at 9:16 PM on January 3, 2008
Are you crazy? This is ABSOLUTELY for publication. The only reason the internet exists is for this conversation to be on it!
I was certain that this post was going to be about Jesus' face appearing on a slice of bread or something. The real link reaffirms my faith more than holey baked goods ever could. posted by lekvar at 9:42 PM on January 3, 2008
The link also reaffirms my faith more than holy baked goods ever could. posted by lekvar at 9:44 PM on January 3, 2008
The fella and I were charmed, delighted, and highly amused by the whole endeavour.
Restores a wee tiny bit of hope, it does. posted by batmonkey at 9:53 PM on January 3, 2008

Amazing. I had that quote all copied and ready to paste here - and you beat me to it! Poor bastard - at least he could eat. posted by The Light Fantastic at 12:29 PM on January 4, 2008
Thanks so much for the kind comments, guys. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I'm going to have to work my dad in on the site more often. posted by thesneeze at 4:44 PM on January 4, 2008 [1 favorite]
