I think--I'm not sure, but I think--you're probably genetically predisposed to love your children no matter what.

If this is a real fear for you, you probably should find a hotter wife before you start breeding.

You always confuse me when you use the word "cats" to refer to actual felines.

And why are you legitimately scared of having ugly children?

Fuck up.

If it makes you feel any better, when I am not logged in and read the board I see people's signature lines and yours makes me laugh every time.

Me too. That show (so far), unlike say, Cheers, has withstood the test of time.

Of course, you can't really compare the two, but Cheers is relatively unfunny in 2004.

Or as a hedge, I should breed with several women.

Utah has some really nice scenery, but the locals' policies on alcohol and caffeine trouble me.

ETA: Of course I'd love the kid no matter what it looked like. Thats not the issue.

This fear seems legitimate to me, given the parents involved.

Why do you let RP push you around? I thought you got it right the first time.

I found out over Thanksgiving that my 13 year old nephew is starting to learn how to play the guitar. He played "Sweet Home Alabama" for us. Since 13 year old boys are impossible to buy for, I thought I could get him some CDs for christmas. I'm looking for suggestions of older music that he should hear and listen to develop a musical taste and music that should inspire him to play.

So what are your top 3 cds that you think a budding guitar player should have in their collection?

Thanks for the suggestions

1. Eric Clapton, Pilgrim.

2. B.B. King and Bobby Blue Bland, Live at Coconut Grove.

3. Neil Young, Harvest.

Try telling the boy he'll probably end up looking like you, and see how his self-confidence handles that.

If I really wanted to fuck with him, I could show him this board and tell him he'll wind up with your intellect.

This is true. Also, most people go through ugly stages in their lives. Adorable fat little babies grow up to be fat little people. Beanpoles grow up to be supermodels. I have a second cousin who looked like a frog for the first year of his life, and is now a very cute three year old. I think I'm a not-unattractive guy as an adult, but looking at pictures of me from about 2 to about 14 makes me shudder, and not just because I grew up in the 70s and those pictures often prominantly feature polyester.

Everyone worries about what their not-yet-conceived children will be like. Almost everyone is pleasantly surprised.

My children have never thrown a temper tantrum, never talked back, never made a mess, and never irritated anyone ever. I'm just reporting on favorable results from my choice.

That reminds me. Now that you're unattached, will you blow me? For America.

What's your sig line (please don't make me log out to see it)? If it's from Seinfeld, while I generally agree that it is aging well, some of the shows from the last season basically suck. I'm not sure if they suck in general or if they just suck for Seinfeld, but I'm imposing a moritorium on watching last season shows when they get picked up by Tivo for me.

My wife's family has a bunch of cats and sometimes you get these perfect kittens that develop these really long faces and bizarre features. And others get these really attractive perfectly fat cat faces. I don't know how I'll handle watching a kid develop. Its all too much for me. I don't know if I can go through with it.

Because this is an SD post, I read this paragraph thinking he was talking about people. SD, you have to alert us when cats actually means cats.

shit stp

Sig line:

“Ha ha, the Ukraine. Do you know what the Ukraine is? It's a sitting duck. A road apple, Newman. The Ukraine is weak. It's feeble. I think it's time to put the hurt on the Ukraine.”

Agreed re: the last season. They picked a good time to call it quits.

Maybe so, but it appears her shoes are too short.

Not necessarily. They could be too wide. Causing her feet to slip out the front. Either way, they don't fit. She looks like Arianna (or Joey Tribbiani's sister) from Sopranos in a lot of her pics.
