Compassionately intolerant

Even your dog's handsome and well above average!

You see that too? I thought I was the only one who recognized his genius. t /neurotic dog-obsession

Which is, of course, a tag that never closes in my house.

How cool for Emmett getting a puggle or summat. In as much as I'm a crazy dog lady though, I can't imagine Emmett being too distracted by a pup once Halloweenie is beyond the loaf-of-bread stage. Animated babies are way more fascinating.

And now I've caught up. Great pictures, Beej - love the make-up.

I always wondered what it would be like to have a younger sib (I have two older ones). Probably would've been good for me. Ah, well.

I have to make phone calls now, and I don't wanna.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

You just know JZ will be dawdling when she drops him off or picks him up or just happens to take the little squishy face to the vet because "hey, its on the way". You may never see either of them again... ;-)

So true. Though I've already gotten permission from EM to borrow the puppy on the first several weekends I've got Emmett. EM is a baby-toe fancier from way back too, so I expect the Halloweenie (aka Zmayby) will be spending some time in Emmett's new world as well. Which is good - I'm hoping to have these circles of his life overlap.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

See, I was sitting here nodding along with all the 'Emmett'll be a great big brother, he'll learn to love the wee Zmaybe as soon as she shows up', and then I read this:

That is, until Halloweenie dubs Emmett "Schmacky the man-pony". Then all bets are off.

...and I'm still giggling.

Bless. Buffistasprogs are the best.

Seriously, though, I'm sure Emmett will be a fab big brother. I was 9 when my parents had my wee sister - 'course, mine was a different situation, and I'd been clamouring for a sibling for years. But I can agree that although I was a bit pissed off about suddenly having my issues get pushed to the bottom of the priority pile, I didn't blame the baby. I did understand that them's the breaks, type of thing. Plus - hero worship does make it a lot easier to put up with wee siblings. (Although in my case my wee sister was more All About The Competing And Ass Kicking, regardless of the 9 year headstart I'd got over her. Sigh. A Type personality? Why yes...)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I think Emmett is going to be a fabulous big brother and that the baby is going to worship him for Emmett is very worshipable.

Hec! JZ! Congratulations! And omg, how much do I approve of the Halloweenie nickname? Now Clovis and I just have to aim the mind-control lasers at you so you decide to name Halloweenie Elphaba Clovis. C'mon, wouldn't that be a pretty name?

Always Anti-fascist!

There is a newspaper editor here at the black paper whose name really is Clovis. He's a man of A Certain Age, though, and probably from the South.

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

Oh, bleah. The conference room across the hall is full of sushi. Which, normally, yum, but in my present condition I'm physically restraining myself from jumping up, punching the attendees, and throwing it all out the window. Curse you filthy humans and your smelly, smelly food!

So, asking him if you could put a pair of bunny ears on him and take a picture probably wouldn't happen, would it?
