It’s summertime, which means it’s time to fire up the grill. But this group of about 40 guys who call themselves “The Boys,†all in their 20s from the Spokane, Washington, area, didn’t want to throw the shrimp on the barbie alone.

Dane Anderson, the group’s ringleader of sorts, created a Craigslist ad calling for a “Generic Father for Backyard BBQ†to help “The Boys†with a very specific, very enticing list of duties for their “backyard BBQ on June 17th to celebrate beer and each other.â€


Rybarski said they’ve have had about 100 applicants to date and is pleased to announce their friend Taylor Wright, who has been reviewing all the candidates, has hired the first official dad as of Tuesday.

“We’re going to have several barbecue dads now,†he said of the overwhelming response. “This dad has a very heartwarming local story. The guy who reviews our applications hired the guy right on the spot and we all agred it was the right decision.â€
