A nice little story about my son as told by my wife earlier today. - bc/nc Oct 28, 08:49 38
- my gf forgot last week too. Her sons have little clothe pouches that they put their teeth in. I distracted him and she slid the pouch under his bed - decline Oct 28, 09:16
- That is adorable. -- nm - kelly Oct 28, 09:12
- ha!!! my brother just tells them the tooth fairy has a backlog. -- nm - loosilu Oct 28, 09:11
- I love that when my brother's boys were quizzing him about the tooth fairy and asked him what her name is, the first answer that came to his mind was - kare Oct 28, 09:05 1
  - oh my gawd that is hysterical -- nm - Epiphany Oct 28, 09:07
- I am so glad it worked out - I forgot once also - tried the same thing - Epiphany Oct 28, 09:02 3
  - Ha! Oops. Never put it in the candy dish! -- nm - bc/nc Oct 28, 09:04 2
    - the grill - I put it in the outside grill - I panicked! She heard the noise and wondered what I had done - she looked in there - Epiphany Oct 28, 09:08 1
      - lol. hard to recover from that one. -- nm - kare Oct 28, 09:09
- I had that happen once also. Worked it out the same way you did... - Jim Oct 28, 08:56 11
  - I am so glad he wasn't skeptical and took my wife at her word. As she said, the childlike wonder is still there. -- nm - bc/nc Oct 28, 08:58 10
    - That makes me happy. Everyday I worry about Bub losing some. - Spawn Oct 28, 09:00 9
      - Well, it'll happen eventually. But right around the corner from that is the wonder that is "girls." -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 09:09
      - why worry about the inevitable? -- nm - znufrii Oct 28, 09:08 7
        
        it's not so inevitable. have you *met* me? -- nm - clockwork jones Oct 28, 09:24 1
        
        no, I haven't, officially. -- nm - znufrii Oct 28, 09:27
        
        By worrying I am vigilant to do what I can to help it stay intact. Inside, an example (more of innocence than wonder, but they all tie together). - Spawn Oct 28, 09:18 2
        
        :) As we get near the holidays I am also making sure that they have the Toys R Us big book (correct title?) to look at . I had the Sears Wish Book, so - bc/nc Oct 28, 09:21 1
        
        Oh yeah, and the Sunday circulars (which have already started) become his "important papers". - Spawn Oct 28, 09:24
        
        you still believe in Unicorns - so it's all good. -- nm - Epiphany Oct 28, 09:08 1
        
        well... - znufrii Oct 28, 09:15

- that is cool. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 08:52

I have to admit, that the ballgame last night was one of the most enjoyable games I have ever watched. - groiny Oct 28, 08:41 52
- It was. My wife, who is not a sports fan at all (but her parents live in St. Louis) was cheering and yelling at the tv. It was hilarious. Her - pmb Oct 28, 09:09
- I feel so bad for my roommate. Big Rangers fan, had to be *at* work at 5:30am this morning. - Krusty Oct 28, 08:51
- it might be the best game ever for me. - Kim Pine dressed in a Ramona Flowers costume Oct 28, 08:43 44
  - As I said earlier, I didn't watch much of the game. How did it compare to Wainwright buckling Beltran in Game 7? Cause that was pretty awesome. Also - Jim Oct 28, 08:52 12
    - Are you going to watch or sit in the closet with sound muffling earphones on -- nm - amoxy Oct 28, 08:58 6
      - Honestly...I'm not sure what's on our calendar for tonight. Sounds dumb... - Jim Oct 28, 09:04 5
        
        it was good to see Berkman finally batting behind Albert yesterday. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 09:05 4
        
        If he can do it again tonight...he might finally get that MVP you've been talking about for years. - Jim Oct 28, 09:06 3
        
        quietly, he has put together an awesome career stat line.... - groiny Oct 28, 09:09 1
        
        If he played in the AL, he'd probably have one already. - Jim Oct 28, 09:11
        
        It is hard not to like that big oaf. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 09:07
    - you *have* to watch tonight. - TFox Oct 28, 08:57
    - I said below, I would probably start someone else, and bring Carp out of the pen. - groiny Oct 28, 08:55 2
      - That's what I'm thinking. I just told a buddy that Tony should plan this out like an All Star game. - Jim Oct 28, 08:57 1
        
        Is the Texas pitcher the guy that *lost* the All Star game, and therefore home field advantage? -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:59
    - Wait... huh!?! -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:54
  - I love that feeling. I'm really happy for you. - Mel Profit Oct 28, 08:45 13
    - I'm gonna have to get some five-hour energy or something to drink before the game. - Kim Pine dressed in a Ramona Flowers costume Oct 28, 08:47 12
      - There's something about a baseball playoff run that's exhausting. - Mel Profit Oct 28, 08:58 1

      - It kind of sucks for the teams and managers, but I'm so glad Game 7 is tonight. - TFox Oct 28, 08:48 9
        
        Better for the Rangers that they don't have an off day to think about that loss too much. - Krusty Oct 28, 08:55 8

        Golic was talking about that this morning...baseball is different than a sport like football. - Jim Oct 28, 08:58 6
        
        [deleted]
        
        yeah, you only have to win one game. it would be harder to deal if you were down 3-0. - groiny Oct 28, 09:02 4

        Holliday has sucked, Napoli will be fine, and Cruz will sting a bit, but his defense sucks. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 09:04 2
        
        I'm thrilled that Holliday won't be playing. I like Allen Craig's bat a lot more right now. And the knock on Craig was his defense, but...um... - Jim Oct 28, 09:05 1
        
        I have been saying that for the last 4 years. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 09:06
  - If it had been game 7, it would be for anyone on the planet. - Spawn Oct 28, 08:44 8

      - it should be high scoring, as both teams pens are depleted - groiny Oct 28, 08:50 2
        
        I would not be surprised to see every pitcher used tonight - amoxy Oct 28, 08:57
        
        [deleted]
      - I'd think so. But would love to be proven wrong. - znufrii Oct 28, 08:50
    - the fact that TWICE they were down to the last strike is awesome. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 08:46 2
      - completely. I forget sometimes how awesome sports are to watch live. I caught up and was like - clockwork jones Oct 28, 08:48 1
        
        I really don't like baseball, but at it's peak it is as good as anything out there. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 09:22
  - (though admittedly the first five innings were pretty horrible baseball) -- nm - Kim Pine dressed in a Ramona Flowers costume Oct 28, 08:43 7
    - yes, but the last 6 were phenominal. - groiny Oct 28, 08:44 6
      - Was the Cardinals scoring in the last, what, 5 innings a record? -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:45 5
        
        Only team ever to score in the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th innings in one game -- nm - amoxy Oct 28, 08:46 1
        
        Awesomesauce. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:52
        
        yes, I believe they showed that graphic last night. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 08:45 2
        
        Ah, cool. I was only half watching, on the computer and doing Reach Daily Challenges. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:51 1
        
        yeah, I was doing Black Ops, but had it on gamecast. - groiny Oct 28, 08:53
- This has been a good year for baseball. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:43
- it's true. I was so pleased to have been watching. -- nm - clockwork jones Oct 28, 08:41 3
  - *thud* - groiny Oct 28, 08:42 2
    - awwww. someone remind me that if I ever feel particularly crappy about myself, all I need to do is talk to the groin about baseball. -- nm - clockwork jones Oct 28, 08:47 1

- I'm shocked *shocked* that the Internet's endless joking about the coming zombie apocalypse hasn't been very productive -- nm - con_carne Oct 28, 08:51 1
  - you know, it's actually not a waste of time. People have used real epidemiology models for zombie stuff. - loosilu Oct 28, 08:54
