Here's What's Awesome: Kid-Launching, Timesharing Sports Cars

It's an all-Father's Day edition of Here's What's Awesome! This week's awesome links are all about dad stuff - sadly I was unable to find a robot that fixes your power tools. Maybe next year.

Three-two-one magic
Usually when dads (and moms) count to three, it's because Junior is doing something he or she shouldn't be doing. Not here - this dad (a spitting image of Iron and Wine's Sam Beam) has rigged up a kid-launching super slip 'n' slide for his little ones. So when they hear Pops counting, they expect fun instead of punishment.

Every lovely spot near or far, you can reach them too in your car club's car
Most dads don't have hundreds of thousands to plonk down that luxury condo - hence the rise of time-shares. Now dads who want to ride and drive like the demons that drive their dreams can hit the road in the sleekest, fastest rides of the day through a sort of supercar timeshare, where members gets access to James Bond-type cars. Membership is $35,000, but that's why you kids have been selling lemonade and magazine subscriptions all year, right? [Mother Nature Network]

Gadzooks! My face has been shorn of its prized whiskers!
One of the pivotal moments of my childhood was when my dad shaved off his massive 70's mustache and became part of the clean-shaven 80's. I was maybe six at the time, but even then I knew it was a major turning point, and it jarred me until about 3:30 pm that day, when cartoons started. Anyway, some enterprising Photoshoppers have used their skills to crop some of the world's most famous mustaches off of their owner's faces. You can see Salvador Dali without the handlebars, or Charlie Chaplin minus his most famous facial feature - if you're brave enough, that is. [Neatorama]

Now it's your turn: do like Dad would do, and share an awesome link in the comments.
