ASSES WIPED, NAMES TAKEN!

After a 3 year run, we have decided to close our virtual doors and move onto some new projects.

Our kids are older now and although we still go through painful, expensive, and stinky experiences on a day to day basis, we have given the internet all that we can give.

Stay tuned for announcements on a new project we are working on. Special thanks to all of our readers, contributors, and sponsors. We have enjoyed teaching dads and dads-to-be the things we have learned the hard way.

While you wait, check out some of other current projects:

Cheese Coming Out of Your Kid’s Mouths
