I second the "wiener poopie" t shirt need.

Full body pyjamas designed to stop itching
February 5, 2008 11:33am
I would love to try that to quell the inexplicable itching I have....I hate taking antihistamines, and especially hate getting the shrug "could be anything" reasoning for the allergy from my doctor. Looks weird, but no itching....ah....
Fine news

Congrats! She's lovely! Buy some red bull, and get ready to fall in love again. :)
Kids learn to flatter around 4
January 29, 2008 7:20am
Ha. I don't need a study for this. My four year old has been using flattery for about a year now. When she wants something, I suddenly hear "You're very pretty Mommy!"
I never hear this unless she's done something, or wants something. She's come up with this on her own as well as it's not a behaviour my husband or I ever engage in. We don't compliment without reason or prior to activities-afterwards maybe, which accounts for the "Wow Mommy, these cookies are really awesome."
She's developing all the necessary skills to be a politician. We're not pleased.
Orwell's ill-tempered rant on bookselling
January 25, 2008 10:05am
I will forever love book stores for that book smell. Old book smell is one of my favorites-reminds me of being a kid, being surrounded by so many new ideas...
I can't be the only one....
Ska-toon on Yo Gabba Gabba!
January 22, 2008 4:10am
My kids love this song-sadly, we can only watch on You Tube up here. :( I hope it makes it to Canada soon, since I'm in love with the "Party in My Tummy" song, much to the chagrin of my family...

"Twins who accidentally got married" is probably an urban legend
January 16, 2008 4:39am
I'm adopted and grew up 30 mins away from my birth family, which is quite extensive. None of my cousins look even remotely like me, nor does my sister. I could have walked smack dab into any of them (and maybe did) and not known it.
Just because you're biologically related doesn't necessarily mean you look alike. And I would assume that twins separated at birth were then placed in different towns, and may not have had much, if any access to their records.
Wedding cake clone of bride
January 14, 2008 6:13pm
I dunno. there's still something really creepy about eating a piece of yourself at your wedding. Girl got what she wanted at all, but it just seems a wee bit odd...
And will it get weird if people ask for certain pieces? "hi, I'd like a slice of the left cheek?" "I'd like a pinky?"
I do agree that at least she did what she wanted. Even if it's freaking me out right now.
Another five-year-old on the no-fly list: meet Sam Adams
January 11, 2008 6:30am
What I don't get is why there isn't some sort of query against DOB. Even if the agent isn't able to make a common sense decision, then couldn't the system tell itself, duh, he's 5, not 37.

Worst Band Names of 2007

Holy Fuck is also totally awesome, which makes the bad name even better.
I love Grand Theft Bus myself...

Sigh.....now that just makes my day even worse.
Terry Pratchett has rare, early-onset Alzheimer's
December 12, 2007 10:52am
sigh. This IS a crap year for authors. If anything happens to Steven Brust, I'm just going to stop reading.
That is so sad. I hope treatment works for him. He really brightened up my adolescence. I just started reading his books to my daughters.
No friends yet.

what, no Aqua?
Most of that list would irritate me to no end. Although they should have used more recent Metallica is they really wanted to hurt someone....
