He's 1/3 of the way to becoming The Six Million Dollar Man

My Dad just had hip replacement surgery today. His new hip? Titanium. Because that's how he rolls, you know. Eventually he'll get new knees, which will then confirm that he is, in fact, the new Six Million Dollar Man. Until then he's only the Two Million Dollar Man.

He's priceless to us, though! I mean, check out these stellar sideburns:

Dad, Knott's Berry Farm. 1976-ish.

Whoa Nelly. Hope your Dad is feeling well after surgery. Titanium huh? Nifty :)Well get better Two Million Dollar Man!

That's an awesome picture. He was probably on his way back from the car after dropping off a case or two of Mom's beloved Knott's Berry Farm Boysenberry Jam, and a case of Knott's Berry Farm Meat Sauce.

And still about a year or two before the 'fro!

OMG, Knott's Berry Farm Meat Relish. Sounds disgusting, actually delicious. Too bad they don't make it anymore. I could eat that stuff straight from the jar.

Ooooh, do I have a great "Dad with his 'fro" photo. Tune in on Tuesday for that one!

Yay!!! I'm so glad they got every thing cleared for the surgery! Tell him in my professional almost-medical opinion - TAKE THE DRUGS!

Give him and your mom my best.

Love you,
Space

Is Irv still witty when he's on drugs?

Of course, the punchlines just come out of his mouth a little slower! The man can't help himself, he's witty no matter what. Pain killers only kill the pain, not his stream of one-liners!

You and Jeremy look awesome in that photo, by the way. How is he doing?

He's a fantastic replacement for the aforementioned discontinued Knott's Berry Farm Meat Relish, in that I could totally eat him straight from the jar.

Oooh, that sounds terrible but I'm leaving it up anyway. It's my blog, after all (and frankly, it's true)!
