New Kindle "TAO of Da-da" Edition is UP
Like The Tao of Pooh did for all things POOH, The Tao of Da-da marries a haggard dad's (that's Da-da) hilarious, self-deprecating view of his own role with The TAO te Ching, along with select funniness from his award-winning blog "Triumph of a Man Called Da-da." In truth, every day you survive as a parent is a triumph, and somewhere in there is The Way, or The TAO of Da-da.

| Behold the new anthem for post-secondary education. Crank it. |
Da-da's reissuing a few of these, featured in his third book...
(TALKIN' 'BOUT) MY EDUCATION
[sung to the tune of, "My Generation," with apologies to The WHO.]
People try to put it d-down (Talkin' 'bout my education)
Just because I goofed around (Talkin' 'bout indoctrination)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout indebted nation)
Hope I'm employed before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my education)
This is my education
This is my education, baby
Why don't you all t-t-trade away (Talkin' 'bout my allegation)
And don't try to sell what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my condemnation)
I'm not trying to cause a big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my adaptation)
I'm just talkin' 'bout my ed-d-d-ducation (Talkin' 'bout my education)
This is my education
This is my education, baby
Why don't you m-m-masquerade away (Talkin' 'bout your obfuscation)
And don't try to b-buy what they all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my suffocation)
I'm not trying to cause a b-big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my demarcation)
I'm just talkin' 'bout my ed-d-d-ducation (Talkin' 'bout my education)
This is my education
This is my education, baby
People pepper spray us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my fumigation)
Just because we sit around (Talkin' 'bout my liberation)
Things they do look awful s-s-sold (Talkin' 'bout your corporation)
Yeah, hope I die before I'm controlled (Talkin' 'bout my education)
This is my education
This is my education, baby

you make them untrustworthy.This is because they ARE untrustworthy,especially around fire and balloons and tape and broken glass...

The Da-da Trench Test (UPDATED)
 |
| Da-da's actually quite sweet -- provided you apes take Hill 407 this time without tantrums. |
After inspecting his sleeping troops and settling in to his cold k-ration beany weenies -- AGAIN -- after a terrible day in the kid-trenches (trench beany weenies are the highlight), Da-da ruminated on what it's really like to be A Man Called Da-da, with two sub-7YO mental patients -- or being a parent, in general. What's it really like?
It's like trench warfare, that's what. But with more hugs and vomit. And a stuffed unicorn in no-man's land. Don't believe Da-da? Then take this little parenting test:
The Da-da Trench Test
- Do you feel exhausted from little or no sleep/being up all night, your fatigue the stuff of legend?
- Are you perpetually rumpled, dirty, unclean, unshaven, unkempt, perhaps even STINKY -- in public -- and find that you simply don't care?
- Have you started to resemble Chewbacca? Make Wookie noises?
- Do you often find yourself wearing the same clothes over and over, day after day?
- Do you find yourself scarfing cold or lukewarm, greasy food while standing up/walking/running?
- Have you found that you actually not only LIKE beany weenies, but talk about it in public?
- Do you occasionally find yourself screaming?
- Do you occasionally find yourself screaming the same thing over and over? And over?
- Do you occasionally scream or pontificate about beany weenies?
- Has your memory... um, is the... what was the question?
If you'd like the...
...it's on page 185.
