DADBRACKET: The open thread

It is time to decide the most Dad Things of all time. Fill out a bracket, and give yourself a shot to win a prize package including an iPad and a Steely Dan album.

Wednesday, we concern ourselves with

THE DADBRACKET:

a 64-item tournament of the most quintessentially Dad things, as determined by myself and Spencer Hall. If you fill out a bracket, you’ll be entered into a random drawing, and the winner will receive a prize package that includes:

- An iPad
- A Dremel
- Steely Dan’s magnum opus, “The Royal Scam”
- A hardcover Tom Clancy novel

Unlike some of our previous brackets, the results are not objectively correct. In fact, we may have missed a great many important Dad Things. In the comments below, feel free to discuss the bracket, and the institution of Dad at large.
