Students seek 'Generic Father Figure' to attend BBQ, grill meats, call attendees 'Sport'
SPOKANE, Washington (Fox 32 News) - Some homesick college students in Washington state are getting creative in their attempts to bond with "Dad" on Father's Day.
The men -- all in their 20's -- posted an ad on Craigslist looking for a generic dad figure to grill burgers, drink beer, and call attendees "Champ" and "Sport."
The ad also asked applicants to talk about "dad things" like lawn mowers and building your own deck.
The young men said they could not pay the Generic Father Figure, but would provide him with all the food and cold beer his heart desires.
Here's the full ad:
