See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Pirate's Dinner Adventure, dinner and a pirate show.

Somehow, the part of this that irritates me the most is that they serve you your piratical dinner on paper plates. What kind of lame-ass pirate feast doesn't serve its guests their meal on, at the very least, beat-up pewter platters or slabs of flatbread or pieces of wood from an old rum barrel, if not preferably gold-encrusted plates from the last Spanish galleon they swarmed, pillaged, and sank?

Lame, lame, lame.

The part that's irritating me is that they don't even make an attempt to justify their "pirate" dinner as something that pirates would eat. I'm not entirely sure what pirates would eat (though hardtack comes to mind), but you could convince me of either fish or some sort of heavily-spiced meat much sooner than you'd ever convince me that pirates ate brocolli.

Hil, heh. I didn't even notice what was on the paper plates, I was too busy being annoyed by the plates themselves.

Someone should report them to the Guild.

Reminds me...I bought Owen two pirate shirts while we were in Puerto Rico. One is black with a simple skull & crossbones and says, "In real life, I'm a pirate" and the other is green with an elaborate piratey skull & crossbones.

They didn't have anything small enough to fit Liv.

Hm. The part that irritates me the most is the placement of the apostrophe. Unless they've only got one pirate, in which case it's more of an exhibition than an adventure.

Also, I got the distinct impression that the pirates are the bad guys. Where's the fun in that?

Biiig doggy meets little baby!

ETA: I did get a bit freaked out over the second pic, but the last one is adorable. Also, I never had dog meets kid issues as a little one, so I'm more on the "oh, so cute!" side instead of the "idiot parents trusting a dog around their kid!" side.

Still mind-boggling.

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

The second picture really does crack me up. The baby looks perfectly cheery in the ensuing pictures, so with the thought of harm out of the way, I really want to howl.

Cute dog.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We have friends with a 9-month-old and a big mutt dog. The dog will let the baby do ANYTHING to her. They took a lot of precautions when they brought the baby home, but they said, right from the first day, the dog seemed to know this was "her" baby and guards over her. Mostly the baby likes to climb and lie on her, and use her to hold onto when she is practicing standing up.
