Do y’all’s dads do this crap? Just rub their success in your face?

Perhaps you’ve wondered about the creepy guy under the pseudonym, Junior Loinman, who is always spouting negativity or posting, “Where’s the meat?!” in the comments section of every blog post I’ve ever written. Have no fear – it’s just my father.

Dude texts me the other day and is all, “Hey, come by later. I got a corvette.” And I’m all, “Hey, did that come out of my inheritance fund?” I mean, throw me a bone here. I’m a young newlywed. I have needs. Buy ME something for a change.

    I knew Junior Loinman would be a good blog subject. But I’ll thank you to keep my personal business out of the public domain. I have no money, there is no inheritance fund, and I’m trying to determine if this blog can make us rich somehow. I’m thinking not with parmesan sprinkled asparagus on the menu.
