$2 processing fee, please

CraftNight Presents: BONANZA, The Lost Episode
Sons: Hey Dad! This is for you!
Pa Cartwright: Sons, I’m touched, wherever did this come from?

Hoss: Well Pa, we wanted to have introspection and gaze into the truth, so we took ourselves to Akbar, the best cowboy bar in Silverlake.
Little Joe: We met a lot of really friendly urban cowboys, and they turned us on to CraftNight.
Adam Cartwright: The Craft Captain had supplies for making Father’s Day Cards!
Hoss: Pa, we were having a good time drinking cosmopolitans, telling jokes and glossing it all over, when suddenly, all three of us got sentimental over how you’ve taught us everything you know, from raising three boys being a three-time widower, to wearing the same clothing in almost every episode to cut the costs of re-filming action shots.
Little Joe: I always like it when you wear the occasional green scarf though.

Pa Cartwright: Well boys, you are all three my dream come true, I’m very proud of you, and I love my really cool 3-D Father’s Day card, I’m getting choked up— BUT WAIT! What about folks who are without dads, or have some kind of situation that falls out of the traditional norms dictated by this national holiday?

Adam Cartwright: Well Dad, the Craft Captain thought of that, there were ALL KINDS of people making cards for whomever they wanted! You don’t have to be the premier western family on american television, or a cowboy, or wear ties, or anything like that if you want a card. Matter of fact, there was this really big and handsome feller in there, crafting away, making a card that said “Daddy” on it. He said it was for the head of his motorcycle troupe. Little Joe: Matter of fact, I’m going riding with them next week.
Hoss: Yeah, there were some ladies with frilly petticoats on, from Petticoat Junction? They were making cards for their brother who is a new dad, and their sister who is in a lesbian relationship who fills a lot of Dad-like roles will also get a dad card.
Little Joe: And this other group of townfolk were using the card template to make something for their boss who is apparently kind of Dad-like. The card template comes with a tie, and a pin that says “#1 Dad.” You can even make little cuffs with sparkly cuff links to go with all of it.
Hoss: I did!

Pa Carwright: So mostly, it’s kind of the dad idea thing, but not necessarily dads?
Sons: That’s right pa, but we do love you so, we are happy to be your spawn. HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

Cue theme music.

See you at the Craft Table TONIGHT!
