SH*T MY DAD SAYS AND THE AUTOCRAT OF THE BREAKFAST TABLE. The content is different, and the technology (Twitter) is different, but there are similarities between SH*T MY DAD SAYS, which preserves what a father says, and this blog. As I said here, this blog is modeled on THE AUTOCRAT OF THE BREAKFAST TABLE and tries to preserve the spirit of my father holding forth at the dinner table.
