Father's Day is right around the corner, and many families will be celebrating with a backyard bash in honor of husbands, dads and grandpas. Burgers will be flipped, beers drank and hot dogs gobbled up. It's going to be one of the highlights of summer for many families.

But not everyone will get a chance to party with their pop. Many of us have lost our fathers, making the day a bittersweet one. Millions more will miss out on the occasion for other reasons: like living in a different area, working, travelling etc.

A group of guys in Spokane, won't be closing out the weekend with their fathers for a variety of reasons, but they aren't going to let that stop them from having a great weekend. They got the smokeys, they got the grill, now all they need is one thing: a dad.

They took to Craigslist to find the perfect father figure, and it hasn't taken long for them to start getting responses.

"We just thought it would be a little better because we don't really live with our fathers," Dane Anderson, the one who actually posted the ad, told KHQ.

The group is looking for a "Generic Father Figure" but don't let that fool you, they have certain things in mind.

Everyone knows that being a dad is a full-time job...well most of the time. This job is for the afternoon only, and there are a few hoops you'll have to jump through if you're looking to apply.

Here's what this day in the life of Generic Father Figure would look like, according to the ad:

• Grilling hamburgers and hot dogs (whilst drinking beer, of course)
• Bringing your own grill (subject to change, but meat will be provided by party planners)
• Referring to attendees as Big Guy, Chief, Sport, Champ, etc.
• Talk about dad things like lawnmowers, building your own deck, Jimmy Buffet, etc.

Being the man of the house isn't easy, and applicants should have a minimum of 18 years experience as a father, 10 years of running a grill and an appreciation for cold beer on a hot day.

The group notes "bonus points if your name is Bill, Randy or Dave."

Dane says they've had a lot of responses to their ad, but they are still looking for their perfect part-time pop.

"One guy's name is Jerry, but he said we can call him Dave or BIll," Dane said about one such applicant. Perhaps the current front-runner. He says that he's had 40 people RSVP to his party, so he might expand his search and hire 3 "dads"

"We're just looking for a dad to come and crack a cold one with the boys," he said.
