These Guys Put Up A Craigslist Ad To Find A Generic Father Figure For Their Backyard BBQ
Oh, Craiglist, what a strange place you are. I’ve found plenty of interesting things on it โ instruments, graphic cards, furniture, even roommates โ but this is the Craiglist ad to rule them all: these guys are looking for a generic father figure.

The Spokane, Washington ad, which is now deleted, is both hilarious and genius.
And apparently, the guys actually heard back from a few people, including one guy named Jerry who said they could call him “Dave” or “Bill” instead.

And of course, people on Twitter were loving it.

We may have even found a few good candidates.
This is like the dad bat signal. I wouldn't be surprised if every dad in America showed up

My dad would ace this… But his name is Clarence… and he lives in the UK. Not sure he's allowed to bring a griller on the plane.๐๐ก๐ข๐๐๐

I mean, can you blame them? Sometimes all we need is a nice BBQ and some guy named Dave to crack open a cold one with.
