READ ME, SEYMOUR


I've heard dozens of people (mostly young men) say they never want to have children but then after they have a child EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM tells me they can't imagine living a life without that child.

I received a most unusual comment:

Here's what the internet says:

Here's what a cartoonist says:

And here's what I have to say:

^^A8^^

Just to be clear, you would still work 40 a week at 10 hours a day.

Netflix needs to stop asking if I am still watching and start asking if I've moved the wash into the dryer yet.

All the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park were female so they didn't have to animate floppy dino dicks.

THAT REMINDS ME OF A STORY


I was once sitting in a lawn chair on the side of a lake holding my toddler while young men set up massive fireworks on a floating dock. When they lit it and ran away the dock shifted and the canister fell over and sent a large flaming ball straight toward my head. I ducked just in time and the thing exploded against the house.

^^B1^^

My teenage daughter once fell off the FRONT of a speeding boat. Somehow the prop missed her but it scared the holy shit out of me.

^^B2^^

That restaurant in France where we were met at the door by three waiters in tuxedoes served food in small portions like that. But there were dozens of these dishes.

^^B3^^

For training purposes, they have fake warheads for missiles that are painted blue on one end. One day while my supervisors could see it I rolled a fake warhead across the floor with the blue end situated so that they could not see it.

^^B4^^

That is the closest picture I have found of what that mile-and-a-half tunnel in Goose Bay, Labrador looked like. My job was to sweep it.

^^B5^^

My daughters could ride their Big Wheels like that. They were so young, but they learned to lean into the turns and everything.

^^B6^^

The last night on our cruise I drank too much and walking back to my room in a storm looked very much like that.

^^B7^^

We purposely missed the bus and my mother put me and my two friends cleaning the house all day. We never missed the bus again.

^^B8^^

My school had one of these. I was writing books. You do the math.

^^B9^^

I'm not terrified of heights but it does make me uncomfortable. That I became a muralist still seems odd to me.

^^B10^^

That clip has been around for a while and shows up a couple of times a month on various sites. In most settings she could tell people she was the "turn the water bottle around" girl and most people would know what she was talking about.

But this guy is much more famous.

He took hundreds of pictures like that at gaming conventions and now is a recognized celebrity.

^^B11^^

I always try to pull an unloaded gun from the hands of someone I am teaching to shoot so they know to hold it securely.

^^B12^^

You say heresy like it's a bad thing.

I wonder how long it was between the invention of fireworks and the idea that you could point them horizontally.

OBJECTS OF INTEREST


^^C1^^

^^C2^^

"50%"

^^C3^^

It's always funnier when they are filming a how-to video.

^^C4^^

So, why didn't they ride them like Europeans rode horses?

^^C5^^

^^C6^^

American Exceptionalism.

^^C7^^

I heard that the chances that any one object hitting another are remote.

^^C8^^

"Duck."

^^C9^^

????

^^C10^^

I watched "The Vast of Night".

It is an example of excellent dialogue writing.

^^C11^^

Have you ever hyper-fixated so hard that you pulled a groin muscle?

I've never had sex with a cab driver.

ACTIVITIES I TEND TO AVOID


Again I ask - who would insure that place?

^^D1^^

I could watch that a thousand times.

^^D2^^

Just another reason we need regulations and inspections.

^^D3^^

^^D4^^

^^D5^^

^^D6^^

^^D7^^

^^D8^^

The singing made that really great but the clip came in a form that my blog host wouldn't allow.

^^D9^^

I support you 100% but it's kinda like saying I never ate escargot and I'm happy with it. The thing is you'll never truly know unless you have tried it. I also don't have children but I can see the joy it brings to others. I even like kids, they kinda represent life.
