Michael: I also tried a free shipping code and that did not work michael: That’s the Graco Snug Ride Gisele Jamie : Which website are you wanting to price match with? michael: babyage.com and michael: albee baby michael: they both offered the seat for $20.99 less Jamie : Let me take a look into these sites. Jamie : One moment please.. michael: i’ll URL you
I read an article last week about a Santa who was ripshit because people were taking their own pictures of kids sitting on his lap at the mall. His argument was that the price was not that expensive, starting around $10 Canadian and that people were ripping off the photography team.
Come on St. Nincompoop! Having Santa in the mall creates mall traffic. It’s not our fault you were a poor negotiator and are now counting on getting a cut of the photo revenues to make your rent or buy your next bottle of Christmas cheer! What do you think, noodads?
Sesame Street is one of the icons of television and certainly the most important show in children’s television history.The Wiggles is a nice, fun and healthy show for kids to watch. It is fairly important to its genre. If it were a superhero, I would call it Iron Man.
It’s helpful, sturdy and always there when you need it, but it does not have the same omnipotence that Sesame Street, aka Galactus, possesses.
While the Wiggles have been able to transcend television with toys, concerts and clothing it is lacking the overall longevity of Sesame Street to be able to say that it is "better". Sesame Street and Mister Rogers re-invented the genre that pioneers like Howdy Doody and the Mickey Mouse Club kicked off. Sesame Street is the standard by which all other kids shows are measured.

Kids are great excuses to never do anything you used to like to do before you had them. You probably have not been to Las Vegas on a weekend bender with your buddies since they invaded your personal habitat. And when was the last time you saw a movie in the theater, went out raging until 3:00AM, streaked through Ann Taylor or went to a restaurant? Boohoodads, listen up. Yes. You can still go out to eat.
“Here comes the donkey
Chained to a ten ton plough
he’ll never make that hill in a million years
whip CRACK beat em down” -What the World is Waiting For - Stone Roses
That donkey is me. One of the Ocean City locals commented that I looked like a pack mule and that she was impressed with the amount of stuff I hauled to and from the beach every day. We noodads are used to this though. We can carry 10-20 times our own weight in gear. Maybe that was ants. At any rate, whether it’s carrying things through the airport, carrying multiple kids to the car in a rain storm or hauling beach gear we can pile it on.
The daily routine for me this vacation was to load up the beach cart, drag it down to the beach, set everything up and then commence digging. Digging post holes for beach umbrellas, piles of sand for sandcastles, moats for said castles and holes for the sake of having holes. This year it was a lot easier because I actually went to the hardware store about an hour before we left for the shore and bought a shovel. I have been keeping a list of all of the things that I think are must haves for a beach vacation for dads.
Some dads like gadgets and others like the Father’s Day tie. I am more the former, but this year I got something that beat any possible gift I could have dreamed up. My kids made me a poster called “Things I Love About Dad”.
My son busted into my bedroom this morning, like the Incredible Hulk through a wall. “HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!” he said, clutching the poster. I was still pretty sleepy as I was in the middle of exercising Father’s Day executive privilege also known as sleeping in.
Here’s how it’s done. Moms, get your kid or kids together. Next, ask them what they like about dad. If there is a baby, ask the bigger kids what the baby would say. Next, you write these on the poster, then you let the kids decorate. That’s it. My kids all like when I play with them, especially when we play ball. I learned that my son really thinks it’s awesome when we play slot cars together. My daughter likes it when I help her with things when she is afraid. She also thinks I look very handsome in my work clothes.
How can you beat that noodads? What did you get for Father’s Day?
That is what a German couple “tried to do” when their son got too loud.
“Peter Hieber, a spokesman for police in the Bavarian town of Krumbach, said the baby was placed in the care of youth services in the southwestern Allgaeu region, although the child’s 23-year-old mother insisted that the ad was only a joke.”
Of course it was, however the only ones who thought it was funny were the baby’s parents as they are now in custody and the kid is in child services.

Come on people. It’s one thing to think about something, it’s another to follow through. Once the name is released, we are revoking his noodad membership.
Noodad wakes up with a huge hangover after attending his company’s party. Noodad is not normally a drinker, but the drinks didn’t taste like alcohol at all. He didn’t even remember how he got home from the party. As bad as he was feeling, he wondered if he did something wrong.
Noodad had to force himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table.
And, next to them, a single red rose!! Noodad sits up and sees his clothing
in front of him, all clean and pressed.
He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean. So is the rest of the house!!!
He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror.
Then he notices a note hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife in lipstick:
‘Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to get groceries to make you your favorite dinner tonight. Read the rest of this entry »
