I wonder when he will be taken to court so he can catch up on back child support.

[Ditter]

Oh dear! Dad lives in a van down by the river.

[SlowBoat407]

Mom, can I get a tattoo?

Ask your sperm donor, dear.

[XR7]

Ugh.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Well, at least the kids know that dad is good with his hands.

their grandmother was a former volunteer president for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

that's the best he can offer? Oh, my. somebody is gonna have to pay for the counselling which is no doubt looming in their future.

A homeless guy in Venice Beach with a nice online profile? I'll bet you a shiny nickel that he's a hardcore weightlifter type. Believe it or not, there's a strain of homeless people that are that demographic. They spend what little money they have on gym memberships and "nutritional supplements", over the counter and otherwise. I'm sure he has a nice car, cleans up well, and is unfathomably narcissitic. He's also only marginally functional in the real world, and can't hold down a job more complicated than sperm donor.

Although in his case, he seems to have found his niche.

50? I guess he's just too old to whack it now.

...interests in philosophy, music and drama.

Sits around and thinks, listens to music on the radio, and watches old movies. (who knows what kind!)

Do the birth certificates say "donor #15"? What happens if two of his offspring, (from the sound of the article there could be a lot of them), fall in love and don't find out they're half siblings until they go in for their marriage license?

[zarf]

What a jerker.

[bondjamesbond]

Reminds me of a tornado down South... Somebody is about to lose a trailer!

Here's a picture of him and his daughter from the article.

The American Dream. A man, his faithful dogs, and an empty vial, just waiting to be flled.

Why do I have to make a serious comment, but this points up the obvious dangers of conception by sperm donor rather than selecting a real person you can vouch for. There just might be some elements of intelligence, fortitude and usefullness that are hereditary and go beyond "6 feet tall, blue eyes".

[Wilhelm Tell]

...Once one of the sperm bank's most-requested donors, with a profile that described him as 6 foot and blue-eyed with interests in philosophy, music and drama, Mr. Harrison, 50, lives with his four dogs in a recreational vehicle near the Venice section of Los Angeles.

I have to admit, this guy is an inspiration. I have pretty much given up on dating, having spent most of my time building a career and taking care of ageing parents. I don't live in my SUV, so I think that should mean I could be in demand. I'm not even 50. I even work out in a gym -- sometimes. I am even interested in philosophy and music. However, I am not interested in drama. In fact, I avoid drama like the plague. That is probably the main reason I am still single. Part of the problem when you seek stability is that then not much happens.

[Vinnie]

who made $400 a month donating sperm under that number twice-weekly during the late 1980s.

What!!

I'm suing my urologist for reparations. He never informed me before my vasectomy.

Let's see, $400x12x30=.....

[Loyalist]

Ladies, why settle for the bottled when you can have the draft?

[Slings and Arrows]

On the bright side, no-one is going to be going after Sperm Donor Dude for child support.

[getmeouttaPalmBeachCounty_FL]

Huh? -- "I got to talk to his dogs."

[MediaMole]

Still, he was able to turn his hobby into a career.
