People in Chicago don’t seem to like Rahm, but do they actually get a democratic choice in mayoral elections?
Pollution is quite dangerous as it apparently causes environmentalists to fantasize about killing children.
100 years from now, I bet we’ll have hover cars, a moon base, and rumors of Verizon getting the iPhone.
I need an EnemyBook to keep track of my enemies and what they’re up to.
The Guinness Book of World Records just stopped by to award Buttercup the title CUTEST BABY EVER!
President Obama stopped by to congratulate us and get Buttercup to pay up her share of the debt.
That reminds me: I wonder when we get her birth certificate.
Here’s what Buttercup sounds like: “WAH! *squeak* WAH! *squeak*” Hope it’s okay I laugh at her every time she cries.
Buttercup has monkey feet. She’s always spreading her toes apart like she’s trying to grab onto branches.
Meant to grab some web snapshots on the birthdate, but it was real late on the 7th and I forgot. Newspaper seems so passé.
When a nurse comes for the baby, we ask, “Where’s the baby kidnapping ring taking her?” If she answers the question, we don’t hand her over.
Lactation consultant’s son is named “Westley”.
Put pics 3 places: Facebook for friends and family, Twitter for the cool people, and my blog for my readers who think Twitter is teh ghey.
Thanks Corel help for giving me eight pages on the history of script recording… NOW HOW DO I RECORD A SCRIPT!!!
People are much more informed these days. Years ago, Charlie could have bit his brother and I would never have heard about it.
Just realized cuteness of video of the baby is a little ruined by having RedEye playing in the background.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Was it one of their incessant, inane cute animal videos? I have grown way weary of them. On the other other hand, if it was a shot of the leg chair, it could add to the video; however, you can’t cop to that.
Consultant? Has he been making PowerPoint presentations? Personally, I thought that whole operation was fairly straightforward, but it wouldn’t be the first time a consultant made something more complex than it already is. Let us know what he’s offering for a follow-on engagement.
You lost me at Guinness. Ah beer…….
Not too bad, out of 16 random thoughts, only 10 seem to be directly related to teh Buttercup.
You need a lactation consultant now? My three just latched on without hesitation but I guess the new generation needs help in figuring out what to do with a nipple. Guess all those issues of Playboy that I read as a teenagers resulted in creation of genetic mutants highly skilled in the art and science of breast usage.
So the kid’s a monkey, huh? I knew I didn’t trust you for a good reason.
I thought it would be funnier if the lactaction consultant was a cow. Rest assured, no self-respecting Jersey or Holstein names her kid anything other than “Moooawwwwgh”.
100 years from now, I bet we’ll have hover cars, a moon base, and rumors of Verizon getting the iPhone.
And in 200 years, you will get a signal on your Verizon iPhone. If you have your hover car in the right place.
(not sure how that’s gonna look)
Another corpse swallowed up by Adobe. Too bad Metacreations didn’t eat up every other image shop. Creating a full-blown presentation would’ve been simplified to the sole task of hitting a big shiny green button marked ‘GO’.
Oops. Heh.
The quote was, “Thanks Corel help for giving me eight pages on the history of script recording… NOW HOW DO I RECORD A SCRIPT!!!”
So…back to the breast feeding thing. I believe your longtime suffe…um…readers should be provided with a few snapshots of that action. Purely innocent! We just want to make sure Buttercup is being properly suckled!

You already have two, you should click your blogroll links and/or read the comments here more often.
“People are much more informed these days. Years ago, Charlie could have bit his brother and I would never have heard about it.”
Question: If that kid didn’t have a British accent, would we have even cared the his finger had been bitten? Especially, since he did stick his finger in the little kid’s mouth…
You should be fine as long as nobody’s got a son named Humperdink.

There is only one “CUTEST BABY EVER”,
and every Mother has it.
She doesn’t have monkey feet. That’s Babinski’s sign, completely normal, nay, expected at this point. If your feet do that when someone strokes the arch you have a problem, but in babies it’s the response you’re looking for. Just another manifestation of Buttercup’s awesomeness.
In all of the excitement we may have missed another birthday, so Happy Birthday Laurence Simon. Sorry if We Be Late (dly) again.
Okay? I should think it’s required to laugh at her every time she cries. Tough love, man! Do you think John Wayne’s parents DIDN’T laugh at him all the time? Come on, do you really want people in 16 years to be saying on national news programs “I blame the parents”? You simply have to laugh at her!
The *squeak* usually means she needs to burp. I learned that with my first baby from an elderly couple who loved children and they were completely correct. And it’s ok to laugh when she does anything, even cry – how can you help it?
By the way, I found sitting the newborn on my lap sideways and leaning her way over my hand, then patting her back to be far more effective means of burping than the over-the-shoulder nonsense, which almost never works.
At the first sign of distress for Buttercup (she cries, for example) start stuffing massive doses of ritalin down her throat! That will make everything better! Or do they just do that with boys?
@ck: Laugh at the Duke? He woulda punched his parents in the nose. In fact it is reported that his first words were:
I won’t be wronged. I won’t be insulted. I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people. I require the same from them.
Whatever you do, don’t let Westley’s mom (or dad if the lactation consultant is a male) talk you into joining La Leche League or whatever it’s called. I have a girlfriend who joined that group and she breast fed her kid until he was like 24. Boy was that a conversation stopper at social events.
How nice for you that we’ll be able to provide all the knowledge & support you’ll need to raise Buttercup to be a loving, well-balanced, productive member of society. Again – all because of this blog. God bless this blog.
