Uncontrolled Emotions

It must be some sort of Christmas season miracle as dads are making money out of both love and rage.

From the love side of equation come SAHD Jeff Robinson, happily chasing after 8-month-old Mae Louise. And then the phone rings and he's got a job for the next few Sundays that will bring in $135,000 as the "long" snapper for the local football side, the playoff-bound Seattle Seahawks.

And from the rage side comes a $9010 net as a Canadian father of a 15-year-old got so mad at finding his son smoking marijuana with stoner friends that he sold his Christmas present right from under the tree. The $90 Guitar Hero III the son lusted for is on its way via eBay (and assuming that the report is true) to an anonymous Australian fool parted from his money.
