-My son was born in April 2012. He pretty much rules.
UO Recap: Kinda late there, isn't it, dude? Edition
This is my UO Recap. I do it most weeks. Some people seem to enjoy it.
Executive Summary:
Cereal. Bumper Stickers. Price of jeans.

Re: UO Recap: Kinda late there, isn't it, dude? Edition
@shanado is a conspiracy theorist who thinks buzzers are an operation to mess with Parenting. Popular.
@HilarityEnsued cannot understand the point of a place you can’t speak freely.
@nixieknox3 thinks there should be a boarding school for toddlers. Very popular, and for good reason.
@katlizabeth thinks milk on cereal is disgusting. Not popular.
@willman2585 loves candy corn. SO DO IT! Somewhat popular.
@Aluenna doesn’t think there is anything wrong with a woman shopping the junior’s dept as long as it fits. Seems reasonable.
@RondackHiker thinks most store bought Halloween costumes look really cheap for the price. I dunno, we priced out the materials and labor to make the costume we wanted and buying was WAAAAY cheaper.
@peanutrach1 thinks NYC is gross. Big cities are often very dirty. Except Toronto. Seriously, toronto is quite clean from what I saw.
-soda talk, which I’m not recapping
@peanutrach1 doesn’t like beer and made more of a FFTC: “When I visited the Guinness brewery in Dublin I drank diet coke at the end of the tour instead.”
@MrsCodeMonkey is getting sick of seasonal decorations. We don’t do any at our house except Christmas, and we don’t really go all out (I hate having a crazy electric bill).
To @andrea99: I actually like food UOs, in that they are easy to skip and make my life easier!
@BlinkMe182 hates drinking water. I love it as long as it is cold.
@scoutkate is addicted to celebrity gossip. VERY popular!
@LittleJerry (still untaggable
@willman2585 hopes the Republicans come up with a legitimate, sane candidate in the next Prez election. Based on their current roster, I would not hold your breath. Chris Christie is probably the only potential I can see, unless John Huntsman suddenly becomes popular. Jeb Bush would be a relative moderate in the potential field, which says something.
-lite political talk
@angelashly doesn’t like daycare fundraising. I’m not thrilled by it myself. I’m more ok when it’s for a specific project or piece of equipment than general operations.
@CinemaGoddess thinks people who drive minivans are horrible drivers. My mother, whose children are all grown, still drives a freaking minivan. She is an overly cautious driver.
@missyishere assumes people who live near her with rebel flag bumper stickers are probably racist.
-not a UO, but HilarityEnsued is extremely excited that the new Honda Odyssey has a built in vacuum in the back.
@jack19 says that by large most of the women on Parenting are soft and cuddly. Let’s just assume he means personality, since he’s not an idiot. He did clarify later that he feels Parenting’s reputation is largely undeserved.
@phunkyphish likes instrumental music.
@chapski wants a dislike button. Very popular. This could cut down on nuisance flags...
-there was discussion of various topics
@mbenit4 thinks $40 is ok for a costume. I feel like that’s fine for something I REALLY like that has multiple pieces.
@LaCally4 likes raking leaves
Page 5:
@CTGirl30 likes cleaning her house due to instant gratification. I like paying someone to clean my house.
-food, glorious food.
@amycorn enjoys being a SAHM. I couldn’t do it, but more power to her.
@CinemaGoddess is being stalked by a wild animal at work. Or possibly ghost.
@CinemaGoddess feels Circle of Friends is one of the best and most underrated movies of the 90s. I don’t think I’ve seen it.
@Helenahhandbasket doesn’t understand why someone would pay more than $100 for a pain of jeans. She also has an azz that looks good in all jeans. This lead to jean price talk. I won’t pay full price, but if I can get a pair of Lucky Jeans on sale (sadly rare), I am all about that shiiiiit.
@LoisLayn23 loves swears but feels there have been some extraneous ones lately. If I might use the jewelry metaphor, some people are walking around with an awful lot of blinding sentence bling?
@JackoftheBox is 26 and still wears her fashion-forward older sister’s hand-me downs. I say she’s smart!
@ProudMommyER073113 would spend $100 on a pair of jeans with a built in vibrator. Am I twisting her words a little? Probably. Welcome the recap!
@MrsSkull1107 doesn’t like it when a poster doesn’t have a unique Avatar or siggy. Now that siggy’s actually update reliably, I agree with this.
@LexiLupin feels the tenth amendment is overrated. Apparently the Supreme Court has stated it "added nothing to the [Constitution] as originally ratified." The Commerce Clause is probably far more important than the Tenth.
@KiraLiz2 feels it’s the second amendment that is overrated.
@MrsEll hates people who consider themselves “foodies” but don’t like certain foods like mushrooms, tomatoes are frauds. I don’t really like it when people consider themselves “foodies”.
@BullyButt thinks anyone who wears a ‘do-rag looks ridiculous.
@CurlyQ284 hates Keanu as an actor, and also hates Toby Maguire.
@CinemaGoddess and like half of you want to bang Anthony Bourdain. I feel like he’s just a pretentious douche. He can be entertaining, but his books are pure raw tripe.
-Target Jeans, The Matrix
@Rae1105 doesn’t think enough priority is given to Child Support enforcement.
@Leashy123 thinks K-Stew is worse than Keanu.
@KiraLiz2 is sick and tired of everything being pink for breast cancer awareness. I think there was some comedian who talked about the fact at this point there is no one who doesn’t know breast cancer exists.
You people *liked* the anthony bourdain book? I just wanted to punch him in the face repeatedly.
@HilarityEnsued thinks Dwayne TheRock Johnson is an underrated actor. I smellllllllelelelllll what she’s cookin’.
@CinemaGoddess reminds us all that HObby Lobby is the worst.
@CinemaGoddess thinks the musical “Annie” is horrible. It ain’t my fave.
@Karbird hates it when Moms send their kids to gymnastics or ballet in leotards with their underwear hanging out.
@ReeseFox thinks all men are a little sexier with good tattoos. Fairly popular. Oops. Luckily I'm married already!!!
@OnederfulMother thinks carrying in public should be illegal, period. Discussion inducing.
@Maebb thinks most people buy too many toys for their kids. I get frustrated when DW spends money on toys for DS because I know friends and family will blitz him at Xmas and his BDay.
-Cereal talk.
@HilarityEnsued hates "rally" in place of "really". Also, I prefer verrah to verra. Verra looks like a car brand to me.
@Holls2011 is not bothered by the Maria King facebook post "What's your excuse". I don't have enough fucks to give to really care.
@CinemaGoddess really hates The Biggest Loser.
@ReeseFox meanwhile loves Jillian Michael's coaching style.
@MonkeyBabe thinks people who live in a big city and drive giant vehicles are assholes. I wonder how they ever park.
@Sterling13 hates stick figure families on cars
@Sterling thinks if you are pissed off about something you should say something right away and not fester.
@LuckyDad had a weird opinion about spelling out numbers as words that induced a decent grammar discussion.
Sorry, there was only room for one joke on the jean topic, and the vibrator won. I did like your joke though.
@AuburnGirlSC is bothered when people make sweeping generalizations about the South.
-Grammar talk. Thanks, fucky.
@ReeseFox is NOT annoyed by fundraisers in general. In general I'm not a fan unless you are selling shit I really like. Like good candy.
@DragonBlood13 doesn't think products need to be expensive to be good.
@Manneek1977 claims to wear her panties for at least 2 days. Parenting did not approve.
"Man, be creative. Like the stuff you do. Do nice things. Love respectfully. Laugh a fucking lot. Curse when you feel like it. Life is cool." - Jean Grae
@EVA116 doesn't like people who claim to be a photographer just because they buy a fancy camera. As someone who knows people who have actual photography training, I could not agree more.
- Day old panty and shampoo talk.
@EVA116 thinks any shoes with wood bottoms are ugly.
Bit of a shoot off, but @Kiraliz2 thinks Ass Bling should be illegal.
-Some of you hate wearing underwear.
@SunnyDays26 thinks people are too quick to judge people based on grammar.
@Sterling13 thinks bedazzlers are amazing.
-Ass Bling Talk
@EVA116 thinks it's weird to have a picture of yourself on your desk. What if it's posing in front of something cool?
@EVA116 also hates how everyone poses with their hand on their hip now.
@Maebb 's husband apparently doesn't have ball sweat, nor does the man work out. Seriously, ball sweat. It's nasty, and that's why we change our man-panties every day.
@KiraLiz2 strongly believes in using literally correctly. I agree, although I'm even open to the occasional obvious exaggeration, such as "John Boehner is literally the worst person on the planet right now".
@Manneek1977 says Ginger was hotter than Mary Ann on Gilligan's Island. She's wrong, although the correct answer is "Both".
@Manneek1977 thought Avatar sucked. I'm not sure why they made Fern Gully in 3-D.
-Discussion of tips and tricks for looking good in photos.
@Mackalien13 hates it when people with no actual information make sweeping generalizations. UNPOPULAR! :P
@futuremrsdelguidice likes Miley Cyrus. I feel like Parenting is fairly divided on her these days.
@thekatie hates the word cunt. I only enjoy it when used solely for humor purposes, like Shower of or Parade.
@morgann2010 doesn't think kids should be told how they can spend their B-day money from other relatives. I think guidance is appropriate... for example encouraging them to save for something big rather than frittering it away on candy.
@CurlyQ284 thinks Vera Bradley stuff is ugly as sin.
@humptydance likes Spike better than Angel. I like who Spike became, but at first I was annoyed by Joss recycling plots.
