Maybe You could name a hooker after him?

Does he like sailing? Family and close friends chartered a catamaran for the day at Batemans Bay for my 50th earlier this year.

It was a surprise and one of the most memorable days I have had.

Given it’s his 60th I think its important that he is acknowledged by close family & friends & is left with a good memory of the occasion.

Perhaps invte a hooker as well!!

Get two hookers, but make sure they are female. Unless he’s gay, in which case get male hookers. Unless he’s bisexual, in which case get one male and one female hooker.

Make a commemorative video.

You do realise he’s probably seen this thread by now and will mightily disappointed if he doesn’t get at least one hooker.

Thank you all for some great and strange ideas!!

Geeze, I’m glad some of you lot are not my kids. My wife shouted me a trip to Norfolk Island for my 60th.

Wife = Kids?

Hmmmmm….

Geeze, I’m glad some of you lot are not my kids. My wife shouted me a trip to Norfolk Island for my 60th. Thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot about our heritage as well. Friska, whatever you decide to buy him, and I like the Scotch idea, make sure you tell him you love him. That’s better than any present.
Now, what was that about a hooker on a jet ski……..

Maybe you could pay a visit to Amir Miguel Asgari and pick him up some cocaine, MDMA, methylamphetamine, cannabis or cannabis resin.

#28 stir fried or roasted?

How about a flight in a small chopper over Canberra & surrounds.

… and Blow.

*fixed*

Although how about a nice lunch/dinner somewhere with the family? My parents really aren’t too big on gifts- if they need it, they would have got it. So often a nice family meal works best for us.

for my dads 60th we (me and the rest of my family) got him a watch but that was because he likes good watches.

perhaps what you need to think about is what your old man likes and go from there

This is what my sibs and I did for my mums 60th too- all ante’d up a fair amount and bought her a great watch she’d never be able to afford by herself- and told her she had to wear it, not stick it “in the poolroom”. She loves it.

Combine these.

It will really lift his spirits

Why dont you get him a voucher so he can drive a v8 supercar for the day. they are about $250 from what i have heard.

How about a hot air baloon ride with a puppy and a hooker, from which he could skydive from the baloon basket onto a jetski with a first aid officer holding a defibrillator.

And if you want to make it really special, a picnic by the lake with his doctor, who could do a colonoscopy and prostate examination while he watches the party boat go by!

On second thoughts, maybe you should save the puppy until the picnic; you wouldn’t want him to get the puppy confused with the hooker…

Oh, and my Dad got the hot air balloon flight for his 60th and rated it.

Hot Air Balloon Flight.

Get him on The Party Boat with the stripper/pole dancers at least they may be as close as you get round here to a hooker on a jetski!

a puppy. everyone loves a puppy.

A colonoscopy

A prostate examination.

Get him a jetski Wii game, presented by twin whisky soaked hookers covered in glitter & macaroni, wearing bikinis made of brumbies season tickets, who roar up to his house in a V8, and holding balloons with lollybags of viagra hanging from them. He’d think all his christmases had come at once! Then take his photo when he opens the door – & get it framed. Straight to the pool room. Honestly, you could ask for anything for the rest of your life & he’d say ‘yes’.

Seriously though – try the flight simulator at Nowra. Read the reviews, plenty of men of similar age have said their kids have bought them this for special occasions & they loved every minute of it – http://www.redballoondays.com.au/experience/AVB721

Balloon ride

Bridge climb

It’s his 60th, so it has to be great.

“Get him two hookers.”

Twins.

It’s his 60th birthday for chrissakes. Don’t be so tight. Get him two hookers.

He’s really going to need that defibrilator …

Not sure of your budget but a balloon ride may be nice over Canberra. He may be able to take it in spring when the weather is not so cold. Also, there is a website http://www.redballoondays.com.au/ with ideas.

Viagra prescription.

boo hoo to you

…who can’t spell. 😛

my old man recently had his 60th and the wife organised for him to have some professional shots done with the grandkids… they all had a ball and Dad was stoked with the pictures… on top of that I got him a bloody expensive bottle of scotch. Pretty soppy idea, but Dad really wanted those nice pictures of him and kids…

I think the main thing is to think about your old man and what he would really want… but on the side I think the hooker on the jet ski idea could be a goer…. especially as the alge isn’t too bad in the lake at the moment…lol

Hope you’re cashed up. V8 Hotlaps. You can buy them online and they will express post them to you.

Brumbies (or if you’re desperate, Raiders ) season tickets

how about a bottle of really good whisky ?

Buy him a Wii, with a Motion+ attachment and TigerWoods 10.

That’s what I just got dad for his 50th…

🙂

This game is the ‘da bomb’ really. Disc golf is my new favorite thing. I’m sure if your dad plays golf/likes golf this is a really good idea.

If you get him a hooker, you should also hire a defibrillator.

A hooker on a jet ski?? (someone had to say it!)
