Alright, we're going to try to have a bit of a different kind of fun today. 

Now, one of my favorite recurring jokes in Senior Year Memories, as well as one of the favorite sources of speculation in reviews and feedback that I have gotten, is on the nature of Ryan's mysterious, never-seen dad. Suffice it to say, I do have plans to introduce Mr. Collins at some point in the future, but until then I am quite happy to keep introducing the occasional odd fact about him to help paint a picture of him as this man of mystery.

But, why should I have all the fun? As such, I open the floor for you, my wonderful Patrons, to submit fun facts about Ryan's dad for Ryan to bring up in casual conversation in an upcoming chapter.

For an idea about the kind of fun facts I'm looking for, here's a list of points that have been brought up about him so far:

What We Know About Ryan's Dad:

- Great singer, used to be in an 80s hair metal band

- Bald

- Practices martial arts

- Has a fossil collection

- Owns a kiln

- Restores antique dental instruments

- Teaches a class on Viking cooking

- Old college buddy has a line on really weird cars, Ryan’s dad bailed him out of jail after getting into a fight at Cirque du Soleil in Vegas using friends in the Vegas DA’s office

- Co-owns a roller derby team

- Considered one of the foremost experts in the Western Hemisphere on doorknob history

- Due to a strange legal loophole, is technically allowed to pardon turkeys (haven't used this one yet, but will find a way to do it soon)

What I'm Not Looking for:

- Anything too elaborate; I want these to be quick jokes that are introduced and forgotten just as quickly while leaving a silly impression with readers.

- Anything too horrible. Ryan's dad is not a killing machine or secret hitman, he's a decent guy with a lot of weird hobbies and interests.

- Anything related to Ryan's dad being a sex god. If reviews are any indication, for some reason, a lot of people really seem to want to see Ryan's dad appear as a sex god. Unfortunately, for reasons I can't get into now, this is simply not the case.

I hope this proves some fun; this isn't a contest, there isn't going to be any voting, if anything submitted tickles me in the right way, I'll be happy to include it in the story and credit you accordingly. If you've got any ideas, please feel free to comment below! I'm rather curious to see what you come up with.
