			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1161" title="International_tidyman" src="http://dadjunk.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/International_tidyman.jpg" alt="International_tidyman" width="283" height="330" />When I embarked on my dad blogging adventure several months ago, I was pretty excited about landing the URL: dadjunk.com. Naturally, lots of other dad-related URLs had been snapped up years ago by clever dadbloggers. Dadjunk seemed fun, irreverant, and obviously dad-oriented.</p>
<p>Like most guys, I have referred to my <em><span style="color: #993300;">junk</span></em> as &#8220;junk&#8221;. I asked around and the junk connotation didn&#8217;t seem too top of mind to most people. So, I went ahead with my dadjunk adventure.</p>
<p>Heck, I even registered grandadjunk.com for my dad, encouraging him to post tidbits about his adventures as a grandfather.</p>
<p>100+ posts and some decent traffic later, I&#8217;ve noticed an increasing number of smirks when I talk about my dadjunk blog. Responses like the following became common:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">&#8220;So, you gonna whip out your dadjunk?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Why don&#8217;t you just call it dadbaitandtackle?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;Is that a gay porn site?&#8221;</p>
<p>Then my dad confessed that, when he told one of his friends about his blog, grandadjunk.com, that one of his friends said, &#8220;What is it? A bunch of pictures of old guys&#8217; balls?&#8221;</p>
<p>That unfortunate image that has haunted me ever since was the last straw. I&#8217;ve moved everything over to Dadhoc.com.</p>
<p>Dadjunk will stay up (until some porn site wants to buy it from me), but all new posts (and the old ones) can be found at <a href="http://www.dadhoc.com" target="_self">dadhoc.com</a>.</p>
<p>Thanks for checking out my dadjunk&#8230; (eh-hem) and welcome to Dadhoc.</p>
