tommy your cute robo dog link led me to the article about the 70 year old grandmother giving birth to twins so she could finally give her husband a son. Makes me so sick to my stomach.
And we live to fight another day.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
But I wonder if he bothered to ask the GF's dad for permission before he started boning her, you know? I mean, srsly.
That's what *I* always want to ask!
"Sure, but did you call him an ask permission the first time you "did it"? Because really, that's pretty much what your lovely tradition is about. "Do I have permision to deflower your daughter?"

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
Oh oh, and the whole flower thing reminded me about my nephew at South Station when he was super wee, but walking and talking.
We were waiting for my mom and dad to take the train home together after a long adventure at the Children's Museum, and I asked him if he'd like to buy some pretty flowers for his Grammie.
He tried to buy an entire bucket of yellow roses, but I talked him down to a bunch.
While we were standing waiting for her, people kept walking by and pointing and smiling at the cute little boy waiting at the station with flowers. He got a few "awwwww!"s.
And of course Grammie was thrilled.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Sue, I am so sorry.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
But I wonder if he bothered to ask the GF's dad for permission before he started boning her, you know? I mean, srsly.
I guess arranging a threesome would involve some sort of conference call.

Well, hopefully such circumstances would involve asking two different sets of parents.

Green cleaning is kind of neat. I just got my silver (well, silver-plate) havdalah set all nice and shiny without any of the smell or skin-burning that I remember from polishing silverware as a kid.

He didn't really get it, and then suddenly wanted to be the guy waiting there with the flowers and got all panicky about not having time to get them due to project deadlines. So I picked up a small bouquet of roses in various shades of lavender.
...yeah, and when he has to have someone else pick up the flowers for him, clearly there are other issues. IJS. Yeah, busy, but...
