Meh, after far too close scrutiny of the picture, I can see the "tragic photoshop accident" line. For one thing, it looks like it would have to be attached farther down the thigh than is customary.
#32: Would you take a picture and send it to me? Pretty please?
#28-29: If it makes you feel better, Labs, I thought my way through the centimeter -> meter conversion very carefully before posting, precisely to make sure I wasn't confusing millimeters and centimeters. "Cent- means 100," I thought. "Therefore, 45 centimeters is about half a meter. Because a meter is a hundred centimeters. Yes. Yes, that's right. Okay, I can post this without being mocked."
I'll note that it would have been at least a little bit funny if the Becks-style comments Urple left on Saturday night had been left last night, as I incorrectly assumed. Now, not so much.
67. Perhaps "no teasing" should be the first new rule to be instituted. Then we could take turns taking this new rule off, like Sade's Justine, for violent and repeated violation.
Has anyone ever compared Sade to Mark Twain, by the way? In both of them the innocent are always punished, and the sinful always get away with it. (Not Twain's major works, but his anti-religious squibs).
Seriously though, if you were a little more clear as to what exactly was troubling you, or what some guidelines might look like, we could at least violate them willfully and knowingly, instead of blindly and inadvertantly. Because honestly I had no idea that anything said upthread was problematic.
No, I'm completely kidding. It was the "measure my [redacted] in hectares" or whatever that made me wonder what administration response would be, but hey, I didn't say it. I regret that I have but one job to lose for my Mineshaft.
The inbox should be a little bit more demure. Some thingies are intimidated by aggressive inboxes. When Lady Macbeth demanded that her husband screw his courage to the sticking-place, she was doing exactly the wrong thing. She should have been batting her eyes and blushing.
At this point Apo has bigger worries. He's wondering whether he'll ever get his courage back again. The Belle Dame Sans Merci with the aggressive inbox has cast her spell.
I deny the accusation of aggression. I think a review of the evidence will show that, like the lady I am, I waited for apo to declare himself before accepting his offer.
What worthy knight would be deterred by a spam filter, of whatever quality? I ask you. Surely apo's heroic, um, blade can penetrate even the best-protected of inboxes when duty calls.
Actually, I just had a really scary experience. I had drifted off in the rocking chair, as I said. I came to, and stood up with the baby to put him in the crib. On the second step, I realized my left leg had fallen completely asleep and wasn't quite under my control. After pinwheeling wildly, I managed to catch myself on a bookcase with one arm before crashing to the floor with the baby in the other arm.
Somehow the little guy never woke up despite being swung like he was on a State Fair ride. I also have a godawful crick in my neck now.
When my son was three I was carrying him off to bed when I slipped on a tiny, strategically-placed rug in the middle of the waxed floor and fell flat on my butt. he didn't even wake up. (Three strong whiskey-and-cokes contributed to this story).
A couple weeks ago, I slipped on our stairs as I was carrying him down. Bruised the hell out of my tailbone (still hurts when I sneeze), but managed to keep him held aloft and uninjured as I bounced and careened to the bottom. Stone cold sober both times. I'm beginning to suspect voodoo.
Hm, I slipped on the stairs later that night after more drinks. And hurt my tailbone. The problem was that I was mixing the drinks way too strong because I'm not a whiskey-drinker.
Notice how artfully Apo changed the subject? He knows that cute little kids distract people.
I'm usually not big on explaining complex behaviors as instinct, but when you're holding a baby, all your normal self-preservation reflexes are subordinated to protecting the baby. We've got a step down into our living room, and when Newt was an infant I tripped up it while I was walking him in the middle of the night. The normal thing to do would have been to put a hand down and catch myself -- instead, I kept holding him with both hands and fell straight onto both kneecaps. Newt was undisturbed, but I was pretty sure I was never going to walk without cursing again.
Buck has a story about carrying a baby cousin down a flight of stairs, tripping at the top, and somersaulting down the stairs. He tucked into a ball around her, and when he hit the ground at the bottom of the stairs she was completely undisturbed.
Randy Moss was outside a burning building where a woman holding a boby was hanging out of the window. "Throw me the baby" he shouts. "I don't dare" she says. "Trust me! Best hands in the NFL!" She finally gives in and throws the baby. It takes a funny path down and Moss has to leap over a car. leap over a fense, and sprint to make a diving catch. The baby is safe!
Moss hops to his feet turns to the cheering crowd, raises the baby above his head, and spikes it.
I slipped going down the stairs on Christmas Eve, carrying my one-month-old daughter. I totally dropped her--she spun out of my arms, flew down 3 steps, and bounced into the wall at the landing. This did not make for a happy Christmas Eve.
Of course she was fine, but I'll note for the record that instinct is not a powerful enough force to overcome massive klutziness.
Every kid in my family fell down the back stairway at least once, and we're all fine. But when I suggested to my niece that it would be OK if her son tumbled down, just for the sake of tradition, she got all huffy.
Wasn't this already covered on Unfogged, somewhere? Not that I'm complaining...
Or maybe I'm just imagining it. You go to the interwebs with the Unfogged posts you have, not the Unfogged posts you want.
