Fun for the whole freaky family!

I was going to say, I distinctly remember the song changing every time. Could that have contributed to the licensing problem?

We’re lucky to live in an area with a a good number of decent secondhand and charity shops, as well as a big swap-and-sell group on facebook. So the goober gets almost everything from them rather than new-manufactured toy. When he’s grown out of them, we either pass everything on to younger kids or donate back.

My former housemate, who is a wonderful person that I sincerely wish only good things for, was regularly on the diet-lifestyle treadmill. Paleo, keto, wheat-free, diary-free, fruits-only, meat-only, nothing but juice - she’s done it all at some point.

The UK puts out a new series of £1 coins every 2-4 years, with four main designs for the constituent kingdoms and often other individual designs for the overseas and island territories like Gibralter and the Isle of Mann. In addition, the 50p coin changes yearly to mark important events, writers, national…

My niece, around age 3, fell into a pond and her older sister stood there cooly unperturbed. After the adults rushed into the garden and fished the toddler out of the water, their mum started laying into the other one for letting it happen. Her responce? “You told me to watch her and I did! I saw it happen!”

Almost universally, that was the one thing everyone seemed “know” about artifical insemination. Donor something something turkey baster. And they clung to that like glue, I actually had people argue with me when I said that’s not how it’s done.

Now that I have a toddler, the ‘Don’t Put Marbles’ song is in my head basically from dawn to dusk. Brendon whisper-shouting to his mum is one of my favorite funny television moments.

My wife and I, the only lesbian couple in our village and one of a few in the area, were bombarded with intensely personal questions from the moment we announced my pregnancy.

Be the scarecrow

Nobody here knows or cares who the Bolton fecker is.

There’s a furniture company in this county that initally started as an eco-friendly venture. They collected broken and discarded furniture from customers, and had a biomass burner that generated their electricity, and all of their signage and promotional materials touted this. They were registered as an enviromental…

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

I have no idea what’s going on, but if you ever want to see an oily Mads Mikkelsen, today is your lucky day I guess.

I had this exact conversation with a bloke in university, angry that a girl rejected him. 2 in the afternoon, he was slouched in his chair before class in grubby sweatsuit bottoms with holes in the knee, a t-shirt it looked like he’d slept in, once-white gray sneakers (more holes) with no laces and no socks. I…

My son sufered from floppy esophagus from birth until around 4 months, which means that the airway isn’t a rigid tube but will collapse when the baby is laid flat on it’s back, causing suffocation. So he had to sleep on a slant or entirely sitting up, with a ring cushion around his neck to hold his head in place…

Chocolate-coated cornflakes. I completely adore these, but thankfully for my blood sugar our grocery store doesn’t carry them often.

With the chickens, I wind up with a lot of wood scrap - plank ends that are only 2-3 inches long, old broken bamboo poles, worn-out lap boards that need replacing every few years. It all adds up. I thought burning it to cook on was a practical way to dispose of it, and any ash gets composted.

Perky breasts are meant to draw the eye and male people pay attentio to what’s one screen. But the last chicken in the shop? The ol’ whistle and flute? The family portrait flopping around... that’s just distracting. It’s so out of place, you both want to look away and can’t.

May it run for 30 seasons and the format eventually get ripped off by another ruder cartoon.
