Go Mr. Sparky!!
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
And this is where I begin to feel sorry for Wile E. Coyote all over again...
eta: I always cried as a young child during the Wizard of Oz when the house fell on the Wicked Witch of the East, because I felt sorry for her, too.
How the heck does your tender heart live through these half iron mans?

I bring a book, of course. (Last year I participated in a relay team -- but my team this year was busy having babies.)
And I suspect I might not have cried if the house fell on Glinda. She had a voice that gave me the creeps.

Go Mr. Sparky!
Sparky, BTW, I owe you a thank you card. (Perkins and Aimee are also owed--I've got a big backlog at the moment!)
Just wanted to let you know that, as soon as I get a milk-free moment or two, I'm going to attempt to get those in the mail.
(I'm covered, as usual, in milk, and haven't had a chance to even shower it off today. Hell, at this point, Lily and I both need to be hosed down. I thought I'd have five minutes to clean up about fifteen minutes ago, but I fear I wasted those on that thing known as "lunch".)
Late to the conversation as always, but BF hurt like hell for the first week or two. Tiny baby with a wee mouth + flat nipples = pain and latch problems. I'm just glad that it worked out, even if she does seem to be constantly attached these days.

No, you don't. I now know you actually got it, and since I picked it off your list, I know it was something you needed/wanted. So, now I know everything a card would have told me. If I'd sent it directly to you, it would have come with a pre-written, stamped thank-you card that you would only have had to sign and send back to me -- something I generally include with baby gifts since I don't want people worrying about manners when they should be enjoying the time with baby!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I don't need one either, love.

What they never tell you is why Wile E. Coyote never spoke: coyotes sound like babies screaming. Really. Most summer nights at my parents' house for ten years.

Genius!
I'm so going to recommend this practice for an upcoming baby shower. And will never send another gift without such.

coyotes sound like babies screaming.
Huh, whenever I hear a pack of them roaming down Franklin Blvd, they make a weird burbling susurration that sounds like some laughing, idiot elder god from a Lovecraft story.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Sean, are you sure they're coyotes? I mean, have you looked? Because if you didn't get a visual ID, it probably was an Elder God. I hear they like to hang in Hollywood these days.
