Richard Hammond, Father Of The Year 2007
Stuck in traffic on a highway at 3am, UK television’s Richard Hammond decided there was no way he was going to miss his daughter’s fourth birthday, so he abandoned his Porsche 911 Carrera on the side of the road and ran 16 miles home. Arriving at 5:30am, he had time for a “bacon butty”, also known as a bacon sandwich and a hot shower before his daughter woke up and they spent the day together.

New “Father Of The Year” Candidate
“So, here’s how Sam became the proud owner of the Sofia the First DVD. On Saturday, the kids and I headed to Wal-Mart to get diapers, before picking up Erin at the Fine Arts Center. We are in line, and there is a display of Sofia DVDs next to the line. Sam says “Oh boy, Sofia the First…I love Sofia the First….can I get this movie?” And I say, “No Sam, we have more than enough movies right now”…which is very true. Then, the following dialogue:
MORON IN GAMCOCK POLO SHIRT AND BRAIDED BELT: “And those are girl movies.. you don’t want to grow up like a mommy, you want up to be like daddy.”
ME: “Actually, I just want him to grow up to be whatever he is supposed to be…and if that’s a boy that likes princess movies then great.”
MORON: “You don’t think that will make him funny?”
ME: “I sure hope so”
MORON: “I don’t mean that kind of funny, I mean he might like other boys.”
ME: “And I’d love him just as much.. and he’d probably smell better as a teenager”
Moron moves to another line
Old Lady Behind Me In Line: “Let me buy that movie for him. You just made my day.”
And this is how Same came to own Sofia the First”
