The Ladies Love Masked Dad

Masked Dad now lives with Nadine Charity Laura Wickstrom and Katherine Wickstrom and their newly acquired Masked Dads
Masked Dad spent his Saturday morning at the Barnwell Center's art market.

Thank you to Nadine Charity, Laura Wickstrom and Katherine Wickstrom for acquiring some Masked Dads and giving him a new home. What better way for a dad to spend the day before Father's Day than on Shreveport's riverfront? We saw lots of families enjoying the market and the splash fountain.

Masked Dad Nekkid

Masked Dad # 14 Nekkid on Laundry Day
In Louisiana, laundry day is Monday. It's also the day we eat red beans and rice. Except Masked Dad. No gas making foods on days he has to wrestle. His co-workers appreciate it.

Wrestling a Bear? Protect Your Nuts

Masked Dad uses the term "nuts" while Jerry Usher, the inspiration for MD, is not so blunt. The word is testicles.

P.S. We're sorry to hear about the passing of wrestling legend Grizzly Smith. Jerry has more to say about Mr. Smith in this video and a couple more on the way. Thanks for watching.

Tab is for Sissies

Masked Dad #7
When Masked Dad mows the lawn he does it fast cause he ain't no slacker. Just make sure there's a cold beer waiting for him when he's done. Dropkicks for everybody if he's forced to drink one of grandmomma's Tabs.

Masked Dad's got a new home. He's on Etsy. Go getcha some.

Waist Bling

Masked Dad #13 Masked Dad Wins a New Belt Title
This is why he makes all those sacrifices, like only eating unglazed donuts and tanning with baby oil and iodine. It's so he'll look his ring tanned best when he wins yet another championship belt.

These belts are the real reason Masked Dad could never work in an office. Why work hard 50 or so hours a week and only get a piece of paper that says "Employee of the Month," when you can work hard 5 hours a week and get a shiny piece of waist bling? Well, the waist bling reason and the ladies reason. Chicks seem to want to date wrestlers more than they want to date bookkeepers.
