I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Their FAQ seems to have only one question on it.

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

Their FAQ seems to have only one question on it.

Lemme guess - it's "WTF is wrong with you people?"?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I guess God doesn't have opinions on breast-feeding?

I'm gonna guess "Seriously y'all, what the fuck?"

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm just waiting for the gay one to come out.

What's the current statistic? 10% of the population is gay? So if they keep breeding at this rate, they stand a good chance of having 2 gay kids.

"What the FUCK is wrong with you people?!?"

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I'm just waiting for the gay one to come out.

Well, if statistics are any guide, and they end up with 20 kids, that would put them on track for two gay kids, right?

So at least, the second time through, they'll have some practice at it.

edit: I love how x-posty we are this morning.

In political news, did you know that the Congressional Republicans were for Mother's Day before they were against it?

Love the headline: "Republicans Vote Against Moms; No Word Yet on Puppies, Kittens."

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I have read possibly way too much about this family. They use blanket training for the babies: Put the baby on a blanket on the floor. With a wooden spoon, tap around the borders of the blanket. If the baby crawls off the blanket, slap the kid's hand with the spoon, put the kid back on the blanket, and repeat the tapping around the borders of the blanket. A few repetitions, and the kid learns to stay on the blanket. I'm not sure what makes this preferable to playpens or baby gates, other than that the kid gets his or her first lesson in obeying authority.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I'm just waiting for the gay one to come out.

At first I thought you meant come out of the WOMB, not come out of the closet!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

blanket training

Yeah. That's pretty much gone out of favor with puppies, too.
