Jesus Hussein Fuck intheverydeed!! I said it before and I'll say it again. This is my procrastination go-to, and in the last couple of months it's lost almost all its writers. Are you trying to get me to do work? Good luck in your new job, Dodai. This place is changing indeed.

Seconded. I understand why she's leaving, though. Being passed over for an outside candidate with less experience says a lot about your ability to move up in the organization.

Sucking on peoples' eyes can give them infections.
STAHP.

My take away from this post is that Tom was in Nashville, where I live, and I fucking missed it.

I love him so much it's embarrassing. I'm not the biggest Hank Williams fan, but, damn it all, I will see this.

I wonder if MRAs will be outraged about this false rape accusation.

Ha!

Closer to $20. It's a wood base with heavy casters with a leather seat. It's really a quality toy & lasts through a lot of kids. (4 kids, our scooter is onto its third family after us)

"creatures who eat crayons and spend half their time trying to take their clothes off"

I feel like your allergies are acting up and you need some benadryl. Said no mother ever.

My parents still love to tell stories about how they would take my sister & I to the zoo, or to Niagara Falls, or wherever, and instead of looking at the sights, we were more interested in chasing/feeding pigeons D:

Same with cats. No matter what toys you buy them they always gravitate to household ephemera. And the world's best scratching post won't save your couch.

Ok well you can send me the kitchen. I am deeply enamored of toy kitchens, even though I have a house with a real kitchen that I use mostly for making coffee and taking bites directly from the block of whatever fancy cheese my husband bought last. But the toy kitchen I had as a kid? The greatest thing that has ever…

"But what do you expect with creatures who eat crayons and spend half their time trying to take their clothes off?"

I bought one of these (the bumblebee model) for my nephew when he was two. The kid fucking loved it then, loves it now and his younger bro loves it as well. His parents roll their eyes everytime my guy and I bring those boys yet another well designed, well made and super-fun European toy. But fuck it, I refuse to buy…

This could be the pregnancy hormones talking, but I would totally buy that adorable scooter. My kids froggin love those things. #sorrynotsmugorsorry

I believe this is real, or at least true. I used to spend so much time poring over the Hearthsong catalog, and Nova Natural, looking at wooden European toys that we couldn't afford to buy, and when we did buy them, he ignored them or chewed them.

Is there an opening for a writer at Gawker Media? Because if there is, write to this person and offer them a position, stat. That Craigslist ad is classic snark.

The one thing I've learned after 4 kids is to never spend more than 20 bucks on a toy. The excitement always wears off within a month. But what do you expect with creatures who eat crayons and spend half their time trying to take their clothes off?
