We're going to a #SuperMilkMan Twitter Party #Sponsored

In promoting The Rock's milk campaign and The Breakfast Project, the fellas at Life of Dad are going to throw a #SuperMilkMan Twitter Party this Thursday, August 15 at 12 noon EST/11am CST.  Why should you attend this party? Did you not look at the picture? There is a 16GB iPad mini up for grabs along with 5 "The Rock-MIlk Gift Packs"!  A party where you don't have to leave home and you can win a prize? Sign me up! 

(This is a sponsored post and Fandads is being paid by Life of Dad, LLC to be entrants in this contest. So basically, we are being paid to make a fun video about milk and possibly meet The Rock.) 

The #SuperMilkMan Twitter Party is going to be hosted by @lifeofdadshow and co-hosted by @tommyriles @ChrisRoutly @CuteMonsterDad and @DiaryDad.  So, if you don't follow these guys on Twitter do so now so you can be ready once Thursday comes.  If you already are on Twitter why not tell people you are going.  Let your friends and family know and use the hashtag #SuperMilkMan to spread the word.  Here's a little help:

"We're going to the #SuperMilkMan Twitter Party on Thursday, Aug. 15. NoonEST/11CST" (Tweet This)

As for our video, it is still in the works.  Nolan was taking it to a dark place and we want it to be family friendly.  Maybe Tarantino is not busy.  

So join us Thursday and let's have some fun at this party and if you show up with no pants, no one will judge you.  

The Fandads and The Rock...It Could Happen! We are Official #SuperMilkMan Entrants

Thanks to the Life of Dad site we were given a great opportunity to be featured in their "30 Dads, 30 Days" posts earlier this year. Now, again thanks to this site, we are an official entrant in the #SuperMilkMan contest where we can win a trip to hang out with The Rock.  Imagine that: Finally, the Fandads meet the Rock in Chi-caaaa-goooo!!!  Well, I don't know if that's where we're going to meet, but either way, IT DOESN'T MATTER where we meet. Whatever does happen, the Fandads will go one on one with the great one. (Alright, enough catchphrases.)

So what do we have to do to meet The Rock?  We have to make a 10-15 second video on Instagram and post it here, Facebook, Twitter and just spread the word about #SuperMilkMan.  Pretty easy right? The question is can we match the ultimate #SuperMilkMan, The Rock? Remember his commercial during the Big Game? (Trying not to get in trouble by using the actual term)  Here's a reminder:





I think our video can top this. We are just waiting for Zach Synder to finish the storyboards and then it's showtime.  So keep an eye on the space below to witness the awesome that we are creating.  (Man, I'm hyping this up too much.)

Now, we're not going to have all the fun of making a video and leave our readers out.  You can get in on this too.  Here's how: This Thursday, August 15 Noon EST/11am CST, there will be a Twitter Party thrown by Life of Dad (@lifeofdadshow) and co-hosted by @tommyriles @ChrisRoutly @CuteMonsterDad and @DiaryDad. During this twitter party you will have the chance to win one of 5 "The Rock - Milk Prize Packs" (a $98 value).  So if you're on Twitter, Follow us @fandads and @lifeofdadshow and use the hashtag #SuperMilkMan to take part in the party, maybe win a prize, learn more about milk and smell what the Fandads are cooking (sorry, I just had to add that one).  

T-Shirt Thursday!

Today's shirt is a shirt I picked up a few years ago at Wizard World Chicago and like the Walking Dead/Star Wars shirt we showcased a few weeks ago, it also combines two of my favorite things: Star Wars and Records.

Your Music is Wookity Wack!

Can you imagine requesting a wack song from this DJ? I think you better keep your request to yourself before he tears your arms out their sockets.  This shirt is available on the Stylin website, you know the huge T-shirt booths at mostly every comic convention you go to.  If you like the shirt, click on their link and pick one up for yourself today.

New Thor The Dark World Trailer!

The new trailer for Thor The Dark World has been released and its looking pretty good. How will the Loki and Thor team up turn out? Will Loki turn on Thor? Will Jane die? Tune in in November to find out the answers and more.  Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Get Out Alive and Maybe win a Prize.

How many times have you seen one of those survival shows on the television and thought to yourself, "I can do that." If you were thrown in the wilderness would you be able to survive?  Will those video game skills come in handy in the great outdoors?  Will you be too occupied looking out for zombies in the woods? If you have been watching "Get Out ALive with Bear Grylls" you might be in for a surprise and see that it's not as easy as it looks.

(Disclosure: This in not a paid post and the prize will be provided by NBC Universal and PartnersHub.)

T-Shirt Thursday!

When it was announced that Disney bought Star Wars we already knew that there was going to be a new princess on the scene.  This shirt from ShirtPunch shows what Princess Leia would look like drawn as a Disney princess.  I immediately bought two of these shirts for my wife and little girl and they loved them.  From the cartoonish R2-D2 to the cuddly Tauntauns and Rancor, this is a Disney princess ready to sing a song for the rebellion or shoot up a stormtrooper.  This shirt is still available on redbubble.com for $25.56 in a variety of colors.  

Fandad's Short Take "A Day at the Zoo"

Every now and then your child will say something to you that completely takes you off guard. Yesterday, while riding the Merry-Go-Round at Lincoln Park Zoo, my little girl said something to me that brought me to tears.

Waving to the camera.

As the Merry-Go-Round was moving I let go of the bar of the animal next to me to hold on to the giraffe my little girl was on. She looked at me and told me to not let go of the bar because she did not want me to fall off. She next said that she didn't want me to get hurt because I was her "brave friend, my best friend and I love you and we won't have fun together if you're hurt."  I gave her a kiss on the forehead as my eyes teared up and told her I love her too. I held on to that bar as we rode around and around and we both waved happily to my wife when we saw her standing on the side with our little man. 

Kids say the damnedest things sometimes. 

Thanks for reading,
