As Dom grows older, his ever-growing cognitive capacity makes him more interesting by the day. Every now and then, he says something that gives me backstage passes into that innocent little brain of his. Generally, it’s incredibly refreshing to see the world through a four year-olds eyes, but tonight Dom said something that left [...]
Well, it took 31 years, but I can officially name something worthwhile that came out of France. I know a few weeks ago I was schilling for the Germans by promoting Shleich’s line of realistic animal figurines (here, if you missed it), but a French company, Papo, is the undisputed king of the Jurassic. It’s [...]
Because I’d like to pass on my sedentary lifestyle to my son, we play a lot of MarioKart. The great outdoors are vastly over-rated in my opinion, and I’m pretty sure I’ve passed on both my allergies and my asthma to my son. Go run around outside? No thanks, I’d rather arouse my senses with [...]
When I began writing this post, I set out to chronicle the downward spiral that was Fred Savage’s career. After all, from what I could tell on the surface, his career peaked in the 80s when he tongue-kissed Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years and descended into oblivion after he chose to voice Oswald, the [...]
This week we have two qualifying clips. Vote for your favorite in the comments section below. The winning clip will be saved for 13 years and shown to Dom’s first girlfriend, thus preserving his innocence for a few more weeks. Clip #1: Loyal readers will recognize Dom’s old nemesis, The Little Gym Olympian, mercilessly shoulder-checking [...]
I guess the title of this post should actually read: Endometriosis Part XVII. The nurse just took Kerry back for her 17th endometriosis-related surgery over the last 11 years. This one includes a robotically assisted laproscopic stripping of endometriosis and a presacral neurectomy. I’m not going to revisit her medical history–I’ve already posted about Kerry’s [...]
Last week I recorded my tragic encounter with Dixie’s Vanity Fair line of to-go coffee cups. Georgia Pacific, the company behind both brand names, sent an auto-reply stating that I would receive a response within 48 hours. Seven days of agonizing silence later, my righteous rage was is danger of becoming full-fledged blind fury. Lucky [...]
Some of you may remember my son’s colossal biff from a few weeks ago. While it may be tough to top the level of pure failure seen in the first installment, it won’t stop Dominic from selflessly risking life and limb for his daddy’s twisted amusement. Luckily he’s built like a tank. This week, he [...]
That little “Ask the Dads” link has been up in the header of this blog for two years with nary a submission. I’m here to tell you that It is a cold day in hell, my friends. I believe we have received our first legitimate reader-submitted question. True to my word, I will draw upon [...]
That’s right, you charlatans, he is. No longer can this injustice be tolerated. Below is the email I just submitted to Georgia Pacific Consumer Products regarding its Dixie brand Vanity Fair to-go Coffee Cups. They claim it’s their mission to make my life easier, but not only do they sell a coffee cup that leaks [...]
