I’m all for freedom and stuff, but Congress should pass a law prohibiting dogs from talking in movies. Especially if they’re sassy.
2010 was kind of a sucky year nationally, but it the best year ever for the Fleming family.
What are the telltale signs you look for to diagnose baby insanity? I’m afraid I might have a CRAZY BABY!
With the popularity of the True Grit movie, I’m hoping to finally sell some of my grit purity analyzers.
The Constitution is confusing like 2+2=4 is confusing. “2 and 2 of what? It’s so vague!” If you want to not understand it, you can find reasons to pretend it’s confusing, but why try to be stupid?
How to diagnose baby insanity:
Step 1: Ask yourself “Are you one of the parents?” If yes then you have a CRAZY BABY!
This test proved true for my own children each time.
All babies are crazy. I don’t blame them. People act nuts around babies so babies natually think this is proper behavior.
Your grit isn’t pure if it was in need of a repair job by two quacks from Minnesota.
DamnCat is correct. Women make “cute noises” to “entertain” the baby and “make it talk”. By golly, back in the good old days, people left the radio or the television on and eventually, baby started talking. Do you think anyone made “cute noises” to make Chesty Puller talk?
“2+2=4”

Ahem, the correct formulation is that the value of 2+2 is equal to 3, 4 or 5 depending on the exact value(s) of 2. As an engineer you surely understand that rounding tricks allow one to make 2+2 to be very flexible. 2+2 can only be understood as a living equation, so your simplistic literal reading is outdated.

Marko’s right. My older brother’s first words were, “Hi-Ho Silver!” That was pretty cool. I was the youngest, and as such, my mum has not a clue as to what my first words were. Then as now, I watched a lot of Speed Racer. I’d like to think that my first words were, “Go, Speed, go!” Astute observers will note that in Speed Racer, unlike in the Lone Ranger, people burned up and died, hence Speed’s coolness.
Nary a cute word did my pop utter to me. This has been verified. Yet, I turned out O.K. as evidenced by my participation here.
Most babies grow out of being crazy and become hard working, productive conservatives. A few, however, grow up and move to California and pass carbon taxes in the middle of the worst recession in memory.
Um, Frank – they ain’t pretending to be stupid.
Brian –
In other words, 2+2=5 for sufficiently large values of 2, right?
Diagnosing baby insanity is a difficult job that should be attempted only by qualified professionals, i.e., not the baby’s parents. It can be difficult to tell whether the baby is smiling at Michelle Obama on the television or laughing at her; similarly, it is difficult to tell whether the baby is seeking to confiscate the gun that you’re holding or wants to fire it.

Anything that doesn’t agree totally with their socialist beliefs is always hard for a liberal to understand.
True Grit = John Wayne! You can’t have True Grit without John Wayne. That’s like doing Twitter and not being teh Gay! Or using the camera on your cell phone and not being a 15 year old school girl!
The dog that talked in Up, I’m okay with that. Live action animals talking, not so much.
Progs do not always see two plus two as adding up to four as this little snippet from 1984 shows…’You are a slow learner, Winston,’ said O’Brien gently.
‘How can I help it?’ he blubbered. ‘How can I help seeing what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four!’
‘Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.’
In all fairness, 2+2 isn’t always 4. 2 cups of popcorn plus 2 cups of water is not 4 cups of soggy popcorn. Also, 2+2=1 (mod 3). O’Brien had a point, but his point only makes sense if he had studied mathematics.
