Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Sorry, ita, Wednesday is "Pick Up A Baby Day".

Will not make a joke about ita's age preferences. Will not make a joke about ita's age preferences. Will not make a joke about ita's age preferences.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Mmmm. They're more tender when they're young.

Dammit, I'm going to leave work in order to pick up a baby. Or in order to go assist at krav.

If I were really good, it'd be both.

A quick NewsRadio post--

I adore Stephen Root. I think he's an incredible comic actor.

Or just an actor. He's done some great dramatic stuff in CSI (heartbreaking as the rape victim's dad), as head honcho in the NASA control room in From the Earth to the Moon, and I just saw him as an advisor to Sen Alan Alda-Vinick in West Wing on Sunday.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

No bringing the babies into krav. Toddlers, well, maybe... but you'd probably come to regret it if you were mommy.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO FIND A BABY!

I hear there is one at my house.

This is purely speculation.

Root also had a wonderful character role in Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? -- he was the blind racist owner of the radio station, IIRC.

Adding to the funny votes.

Depending on the age of said babies, krav might have to rapidly develop some new techniques. I mean, how the hell do you develop a hand-to-hand defense against projectile vomiting? Or, god forbid, the fingerpainting-from-diapers? And there is always the crusty nose....

My mom is adorable. She emailed me to let me know that her principal recognized the necklace I gave her as modelled after DNA (from Uncommon Goods.)

Different age range of baby in that last post of mine, Burrell. But I can see as how not evryone shares my perspective.

Though there are often babies at krav (there was one woman who trained while visibly pregnant, and once she stopped still accompanied her two other kids-her bump is now walking and talking, and his mother brings him with whether she's training (she was back about four months post partum) or accompanying her eldest who is now in iinstructor training).

You have no idea how parenthetical I get before I post. I'm really bad.

Devi drools when she naps. Huh.

You know what smells good? Vintage Western Candles' Prairie Grass. Must find more online. Also, the other that came in the package, Tyler's Pumpkin Spice. Extra extra kudos to msbelle for these.

I'm just in a mood to smell nice things, and this works well.
