I Got A Mandle for Father’s Day

This Father’s Day I got some very special gifts. I got a special made Star Wars comic from Braiden, a special story about me that Kailee made on the Playhouse Disney website, and a new Black&Decker toaster oven so I don‘t have to crank up the big oven just to fix a bagel or English muffin. Last year I got a Panini Maker and Braiden caused a stir at church when he told his All Star Kid’s Class that he got me a Bikini Maker.

But this year I got something else that was really cool. A Mandle!! Don’t know what a Mandle is? It's a manly man’s candle!! Check out this commercial.

Mollie was giddy when when she handed me the box with my Father’s Day gift. I opened the box and inside was a card which read:

Caution

This gift may create..

A sudden desire to do karate.

A sudden desire to kill someone using only your pinky finger.

A sudden desire to order the Total Gym.

Yes. This is the gift you have always wanted…

 

Inside was a Chuck Norris Sweat Mandle!!! And now I know why Chuck is so popular, his sweat smells like fresh baked sugar cookies.

Actually Mandles is a spoof video made by BlueFishTV.com

BlueFishTV is a great company that has different teaching resources and funny illustration videos. We sometimes use their stuff as a creative teaching resource at church. The Sunday before Father's Day I ended our service with the Mandle video to promote the following weekend at Parkway. I closed by joking that I was expecting a Chuck Norris Sweat Mandle for Father’s Day.

Of course Mandles are not an actual product, Mollie had to “make” me one, which made it even more special. They even have a realistic BuyMandles.com website. Some times the best gifts are not baught but hand made from the heart. However if you find “real Mandles” somewhere let me know.
