Just thinking about Battletoads for some reason and its fun first level that mislead you on what the rest of the game is going to be like. They could have spotted you infinite lives in that game and few people would get half way through it. I think it was about 2/3rds through the 3rd level was when you realized that game was not what you thought it was.
I still have trouble believing memory constraints were so tight that NES Donkey Kong had to leave out the pie factory level.
Best Buy would give me a $320 gift card for my 32GB iPad 1 3G. Must… resist… upgrade… to iPad 2…
Without unionized teachers, children would get all smart and stuff and become our masters.
Buttercup is not just adorable – she’s THEdorable.
If I live to 90, I guess the birth of Buttercup marks the end of Act 1 of my three act play.
Seeing a lot more Truman Show style ads in TV shows. That’s what we get for fast forwarding through commercials.
So what’s SXSW? Is it something involving extreme biking?
Why is Martin Luther King always called Martin Luther King? It there another Martin King we’re trying to distinguish him from?
Real cute kid, she’s made to look so much more Thedorable by that goofy looking goon in the pict. Good strategy. Beauty and the Bozo works everytime..I mean beast
Most people take an (extended) intermission from their life after having their 1st kid, so that is completely reasonable. Barely even a metaphor.
No – but we have to distinguish him from another Martin Luther. He played for the Orioles in the late fifties.
Japan has caused a serious setback to moon nuking.
Has anyone ever noticed that parents really brag about their first child and by the time they get to number 6 its more of an “eh”?
I see that bumbles this morning thought Japan may be a catastrophe.
Martin Luther King? Junior, I suppose? The reason they call him that is that if they called him by his birth name, no one would know who “Michael King” is.
Calling him “Marty King” is a sure way to raise eyebrows and get a laugh.
Watching Anderson Cooper blanche and fill his diapers on live TV when it was announced there had been another nuke plant blast and maybe another tsunami on the way was worth a years’ worth of cable fees. Priceless.
Buttercup is in charge. Yes she is.
SXSW: South by Southwest – gotta give artists theatrical directions to get them to Austin. Also the side of town the hippies live on.
(favorite bumper sticker: South Austin – We’re all here becuase we’re not all there)
Could be that Marther Luten King guy my son talked about in elementary school.
Speaking of random thoughts, is anyone else troubled by the fact that General Electric, who makes nuclear reactors, is named “ImMelt”?
Buttercup – what a happy baby!
That kind of smile usually presages diaper duty.
After all those Got MLK? ads in the 60’s the name kind of stuck.
Squeeeeeeeeeeee! THEdorable is correct. Thanks for making the worst Monday of the year (Monday after the theft-of-sleep time change) more bearable.

Sounds like the same idiots that made “Spore.”
“Why is Martin Luther King always called Martin Luther King? It there another Martin King we’re trying to distinguish him from?”
And, they always add the “Junior” on the end, as if sometimes people are talking about things his father did.
To correct that last sentence in my earlier post “is run by a man named ImMelt”
Buttercup is definitely the cutest baby either.
*ever, correction
So has Buttercup started dating yet? She will soon be taught about sex in pre-school and will know much more about the subject than you do. Then in the second year of Pre-School comes the Gender Identity studies where she will dress up as a little boy to get a feeling for how that feels. Then it’s time for you to go to school and do some serious parental nad punchin!
If I live to be 90, I’m almost 2/3rds done with my act! Yikes! Most people tired of the act when I was about 5, that’s when the beginning of the end started. I’m now nearing the end of the end and suspect for some reason that I shall be hiding my own Easter eggs one of these years in the not too distant future…
“Why is Martin Luther King always called Martin Luther King?”
Cuz he wouldn’t answer when they called him Joe Smith?
“Why is Martin Luther King always called Martin Luther King?……First there was the theologian, Martin Luther. Then, there’s his father of the same name as he, so Jr. must be added to the name, to distinguish between the two.
Then there’s the Conspiracy of ‘The Three-Name Assassins’, but MLK Jr. kept using that Jr. addition at the end of his name, so he had to be killed,……by James Earl Ray(Bonus points for having 3 First Names).
Black folk who genuinely loved him just refer to him as Martin, because no other name is necessary, when they speak of him. He IS their Moses.
Princess Buttercup is THEdorable, however, that may just be her way of lulling you into a false sense of security, then when you get to close, she’ll carelessly cut you, and laugh while your bleeding…..
Princess Buttercup has obviously fully digested the Purple Monkey, and now has a hunger for Higher Life Forms
How long will it be before Frank is responding to Buttercup’s every demand with, “As you wish.”?
Some good lesson for republicans and conservative media from the Wisconsin mess

It’s “Martin Luther King” so idiots get confused when you start talking about Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation.
So how did they get from Martin Luther to Martin Luther King? So like I’m going to change my name to Winston Churchill but I’m going to be Winston Churchill King? Why the King part?
With great cuteness comes great responsibility.
Without unionized teachers, nobody would consider owning an iPad, much less be thinking about upgrading before the original greenness has worn off.
You’ll pardon some of us, Frank, if we’re not around for Act 3 and maybe part of Act 2.
As explained in the movie Conspiracy Theory, why do we know the middle names of assasins? Huh? There!
My dad was 45 when I was born, so when I turned 5, he was 10 times as old as me.
When I was 15, he was 60, or only 4 times as old as me.
When I was 45, he was 90, or only twice as old as me.
If he’d held on for a few more years, I might have caught up to him entirely.
When I turned 45 and talked to him about it, remarking that I was as old now as he was when I was born and I was feeling kind of old, he replied, “The best is yet to come.”
I sure hope he knew what he was talking about.
4 of 7, Your dad was a wise man. I’m 57 and just starting to understand what is important in life and what isn’t. And, it ain’t running around in an office in crisis mode for the rest of my life with the rest of the people who haven’t figured it out yet. Nothing in life is important in the office! When I’m laying on my death bed, I don’t anticipate my sorrow over being late with a systems design document on a project I’m working on… People and my relationships to them are what is important! And enjoying life as God has provided it is what I’m trying to do each day. I still get sucked into the nonsense but can see it and am trying to get un-sucked from it as I go…
#30 – ussjimmycarter, Thanks!
Dad was my hero.
As a kid I would watch him talking or working with other “grown-ups”.
Reflecting on those times I can honestly say that there wasn’t one person in our home town who didn’t like and respect my dad.
He was honest, good humored, hard working and wise.
He wasn’t rich, but his word was worth gold.
He never hurried, but he got a lot done.
He lived to see his children’s children have children, then “gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.” (Gen. 25:8)
May we all be so blessed.
