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

Hey bon bon, check out the speaker I got for my symposium:

I think bob bob will dig him, he's all philosophy of time. He makes my head explode.

I don't own a bra

I tried that, but there were chafing issues. (Actually, I remember now, there were more, er, visibility issues.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hey bon bon, check out the speaker I got for my symposium:

Oh, that sounds interesting. Totally the sort of thing I'd go see if I wasn't 2000 miles away....

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Buffista parents of very small humans, I have a question - what is your favorite brand of baby shoes for pre-walkers? I don't necessarily need them to be supercute, but I do need them to be (a) flexible (b) lightweight and (b) not ginormously expensive. Basically, the NYC parks service require shoes to be worn in all their playgrounds, so D needs shoes for the spring even though he won't be walking for at least another few months.

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

Jess, Robeez are great--and pricey, but there are now lots of lower-cost knockoffs available. Target makes some pretty good ones. Matilda has these, which are super comfy, light and flexible but excessively girly; it looks like the best boyshoe equivalent is this pair.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I had Em in Keds and other little sneaker type shoes pre-walking so that she got used to wearing them and transitioning would be easier. But I also agree with JZ that Robeez are tha whip.

I am the only person left in my office. I feel like I should throw a kegger.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Allyson, Bob Bob didn't know him, but he said:

alpert must be good
because he's the only philosopher of physics at columbia
and they're ranked just as highly as michigan
definitely looks like an interesting paper

not your mom's socks.

what is your favorite brand of baby shoes for pre-walkers?

Robeez, thirding Aimee and JZ. Nordstrom Rack had a pair of ridiculously small Merrills on sale for $5 that we had for a while. Also, Stride Rite - [link] but OMG these prices are for grandparents, not parents. Zappos too.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

He insisted he didn't need THAT MUCH underwear, and tried to get me to claim pack #3.

Har! What kind of straight man doesn’t want extra underwear. I mean, I know guys that decide that they don’t want to do laundry, so they just buy more underwear!

Anyone else die laughing in horror at Elizabeth Berkeley hosting a dance show?

Yes.
