Okay, this reminds me of a question that has been bugging me since this weekend. I watched a bit of a rebroadcast of a Ducks/Stars game on ESPN Classic on Saturday. I don't know why I actually stopped surfing on this channel, since I only ever watch hockey during the Winter Olympics, and not at all regularly.

Anyway, shortly after I tuned in, the announcer said that one of the players was called for "icing". It looked like whatever the call was took place away from the action, but for the life of me, I couldn't tell what the nature of the penalty was. So -- what the hell is "icing" and what's the penalty for doing it?

As it happens, I have a newborn at the house, and have nighttime diaper duty. I will admit that on occasion I've questioned my decisions in this regard on a random Tuesday at 2:30am (since I'm up anyway), but only in the sense that I'm really freakin' tired and want some sleep.

Are there any parents out there who will admit on this board that they wish they'd never done it?

There would be, but just because they call yo' mama "Gateway" doesn't mean she has access to a computer.

I'm convinced those people are called fathers . . . I'm not sure if this is nature or nurture. Any thoughts from others who have kids?

Must be something else. I am definitely the patient one in our little hovel.

Also, the few parents who do feel this -- who actually think that having Junior was a mistake, ruined their marraige, kept them from pitching for the Mets, etc. -- know that an overwhelming wave of social disapproval will bury them if they even hint at such a feeling.

You don't know my father . . .

Edited to add:

I've heard many non-custodial fathers say this about their children and several custodial mothers. But maybe the people I know are significantly more messed up than the people you know.

Don't hold your breath waiting for such an admission either here or anywhere else. Who, even in this sorta anonymous forum, is going to admit that they wished their kids were never born? You hit the nail on the head with the whole "wishing them dead" analogy.

OTOH, I know many people who should never have had kids (or should never plan on it), but their judgment is too wacked out to realize it.

I know one or two who regret having kids, but these are the same ones who don't bother to exercise visitation and view the kid solely as a drain on em's party fund.

And as far as ejaculation without coming, I don't think it ever happens.

Likely, the guy was stopping at the other GF's house first.

My tendency has been to offer a simple, unapologetic "I'm not." People then react one of two ways: (1) "you hate all kids, you monstrous unwomanly unnatural freak" or (2) "of course you will I didn't realize until I had them that my life was utterly empty and meaningless before".

This pisses me off then because (1) while I may or may not (and may certainly find your own kids unbearable), it doesn't lessen my essential decency as a person, and either way I'd never be rude enough to say so and (2) while your life may be a miserable useless pile of crap without kids, mine is actually pretty damn great. But there's no way to convince people without acting like I'm justifying my actions, which I won't do for some graceless idiot.

While I understand that you are properly offended by such offensive behavior, your assumption that people who believe their lives are better with kids than without means that their lives were empty, meaningless, miserable, useless piles of crap is equally offensive.

What? I have never come without ejaculating. I can't imagine how this would even be possible? Has this happened to anyone?

And as far as ejaculation without coming, I don't think it ever happens. I think there is some pre-ejaculate liquid that comes out, but I've never splooged without orgasming either. Although, I have seen American Pie (or whatever movie) where the nurse sticks her finger up Stiffler's ass and he splooges, but I think he came too. Slave? Can you field this one?

I agree with TM on this... its a myth that men can come without ejaculating. Sometimes it may feel like you're coming and you haven't ejaculated yet, but that isn't really coming - and when you come and feel the release, you recognize just how different and less intense the "pre-coming" is from actually coming.

I've had the Stifler treatment from a chick and yes, you ejaculate and come.

S(only Sting or Bono one of those new age spiritualized idiots who uses one name can come without ejaculating)D

I think "icing" is a euphemism for quacamole and, occurs after one "high-sticks" for a few minutes.

Or, it occurs when any player of a Team, equal or superior in numerical strength to the opposing Team, shoot, bat or deflect the puck from his own half of the ice beyond the goal line of the opposing Team, play shall be stopped and the puck faced-off at the end face-off spot of the offending Team, unless on the play, the puck shall have entered the net of the opposing Team, in which case the goal shall be allowed. See NHL Rule 65

Sticking your finger in the cake at a birthday party and scooping up some of the frosting is referred to as "improper consumption of icing" (usually shortened to "icing"), and the punishment -- unless you are the birthday boy or girl -- is two minutes in the penalty box, a/k/a "time out" in your room.

Seriously (can you tell I was at a kid's birthday party recently?), from NHL.com, "For the purpose of this Rule, the center red line will divide the ice into halves. Should any player of a Team, equal or superior in numerical strength to the opposing Team, shoot, bat or deflect the puck from his own half of the ice beyond the goal line of the opposing Team, play shall be stopped and the puck faced-off at the end face-off spot of the offending Team, unless on the play, the puck shall have entered the net of the opposing Team, in which case the goal shall be allowed."

In other words, if you shoot the puck from your half of the ice into the other end, and no one from your team touches it, icing is called, and a face off is held in your end of the ice.

Your offensive taking of offense at PJ's offensive remark concerning taking offense at offensiveness offends my sense of offensiv . . . oh, crap, where was I? . . .
