The Babysitter

12547 says...

>> ^jonny:
I was talking with some folks last night about why a full 2 minutes of Peter Griffin saying, "aah, sssshhhhh, aah, ssshhhh" when he cracks his shin on the table is funny, and noone could define it. It just is. If anyone knows and can explain it in words, I'm forever in your debt.


I guess some of it is the usual Family Guy thing of "How can they get away with it?" or, in that case, "How long can they keep going on?".

Cujo - Theatrical Trailer

MrFisk says...

This was the first R rated movie I saw. My babysitter and her boyfriend smuggled me out to a double feature and let me sit in the front row. The second movie was Enter the Dragon, which I somehow managed to stay awake until its conclusion. I like dogs and Bruce Lee.

choggie says...

Feddy....you were the first siftquisition, lighten up bud??...Free-association is how you roll sometimes, eh??? My mind works in a similar fashion, we juxtapose brother, take another bong load....


Ok, the self-appointed arbiter has taken the reigns, good on him-I say the shitfucks die in a pool of their own commingled bodily fluids, but hey, that would not be fair. My votes' ban, if they(he, she, it) can't come up with a better defense.....than simply, "Yo man...but....and then...and but I..."

Come on fellas', come clean or deliver closing arguments, and we'll make more rules we can fuck the next posers with, thanks for the primmer, bob's yer fucking babysitter!!!

Place choggie's preliminary torch on the hut, in the ban column.
-edit -Fed?? How did you get dragged into this??....Yer whining about having gone through scrutiny of the same, every time you are able, when you whipped out yer pecker, that's why too....

Warning (Wtf Talk Post)

kronosposeidon says...

How is it that I leave here for only a few hours, and it looks like four of you got into the cheese? And you all SWORE that you were old enough to not need a babysitter anymore.

Well that's it! You all go to your rooms NOW! And you're grounded for a week!

And when I check under my mattress, my porn better NOT have been disturbed! (I'm looking at you, schmawy.)

Krystle Cole descibes dimethyltryptamine trip

highdileeho says...

Wish this drug was available when I was younger and in a more free mindset. I always liked sharing trip stories with friends, ahh what the hell here's my favorite. So it was my first time. Me and 4 friends dropped 2 hits of flying pyramid acid each. Fast foreward to my peak. We all wanted to smoke a cigarette so we meander on my cousins/babysitters second story balcony. It was late april, and the trees were just starting to bud. So I'm sitting there smoking a cigarette and watching the branches on the trees dance like spaggetti as if they were propelled by the ocean current. Then the buds of the trees acted as little points like a connect the dot drawings. What my mind formed was a neon green tryanasouras. He wasn't realistic, just an outlined shape. at first the image was just a profile. All of the sudden he turned his head and looked directly at me. He craned his neck and head towards me slowly, opened is mouth and as his teeth went beyond my perefrial vision i felt his warm breath. (probably just a breeze). Then he was gone. I snapped out of it when my friend noticed I had dropped my cigarette, and asked if I was okay. I laughed for the next minute or so. There are very few moments in life that I wish I could relive, that trip was one.

Penn & Teller - Bullshit - Gun Control

spoco2 says...

Lurch... ok... here goes:

"Spoco2, it's not about "needing" a gun to feel safe. It's about not allowing the government to have a say in whether you can or not. That's it. By the same logic, you shouldn't "need" guns to be banned to feel safe.

But you're going from one extreme to another, by suggesting that the government has no say in you owning a gun or not, because, well, you just should be able to dangit. Then surely you should also be allowed to own a grenade launcher? Or a nuclear warhead? Where is your line?

See the quote above. Accidental deaths? Hell, drowing is the second leading cause of accidental death according to the National Center for Health Statistics. Six people accidentally drown in pools every day according to the CDC. You don't see an outcry for the government to legislate you out of owning a pool. Granted it's a poor comparison in terms of a firearm to a pool, but it's following the same reasoning if you want something removed because you fear it or it can kill you accidentally. Firearm deaths are way down the list of leading causes of accidental death.

Well, actually... I think in the US you have no pool fencing laws (at least that's what I thought when I saw Transformers and saw the little girl standing by the pool. In Australia it's LAW that you have any pool safety fenced. Problem by and large solved right there... kids can't wander in. So yes, we don't outlaw pools, but we DO enforce that they be a lot safer, and as such a lot less drownings occur.


Accidental firearm deaths were beat out by motor vehicles, drowning, poisoning, falls, fires, medical complications, and many others. Motor vehicle accidents alone cause between 50% - 80% of deaths in every age group while accidental firearm deaths are barely a fraction of 1%. This information is coming from the National Vital Statistics report in 2005.

BUT... deaths from things like car accidents come about from a USEFUL object that CAN be dangerous if not treated correctly. You can't just outlaw cars because how would people get around? But guns, what practical purpose do they have in the average person's home? Sweet bugger all, I get along perfectly well with no deadly firearm in my home as does EVERYONE else I know.

You can't save everyone from themselves. It's not the governments job to place us in a bubble without choice for our own protection when it's specifically stated in the constitution that the "right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." What would be nice is if instead of focusing on scaring everyone with arguments about how we'll all either die and be raped without guns, or die in killing sprees with them, people should start thinking about what it means to open the door for the government to become your babysitter."


It's such a convenient argument to say that the government banning guns is a Nanny State or babysitting you, while ignoring all the other things that are illegal that you find to be perfectly reasonable. Outlawing guns is removing something that has no reasonable, practical purpose in a normal home. In Australia if you work on a farm or other occupation where a gun is useful for rabbit/fox control or the like, then yes, you can have a gun (but not an automatic or semi-automatic), but those of us in metro housing, there is NO NEED TO HAVE A GUN... hence we don't feel nannied or deprived because they're illegal.

Are crime rates higher in Australia because we all can't defend ourselves against all these criminals who 'will get a gun illegally while us poor citizens can't buy one'? Nope... We're doing just fine without everyone and their dog being armed thanks, and THAT law does not make us a nanny state.

It's never too early to start on Coke! (Blog Entry by dag)

raven says...

Ugh... Mountain Dew plus Children = Utter Mayhem

Brings back terrible memories of babysitting back in junior high school for these kids who lived down the street... their parents (who were both registered nurses, btw, and you would think would know better) used to let their kids (3 of them) have unrestricted access to the Dew, like, they would go through a couple two liters in a day.... so usually, by the time I got there for their parents to slip off to dinner and a movie, they were all amped up and bouncing off the walls... and not just that, they were out of control, fighting, screaming, once the boy got into his dad's tool box in the garage and chased his sisters around with a hammer... and, surprise! they would never go to sleep because they were perpetually wound up, it was ridiculous... finally I had to put my foot down and tell the parents that I wouldn't babysit anymore if their kids were allowed to drink caffeine before I showed up. They were noticeably better after that, but apparently the withdrawl symptoms were rough on the kids, because I was eventually replaced with a more tolerant babysitter.

The Ultimate Guitar Hero is 9 years old

choggie says...

I'm with MINK, guitar hero is crack for kids with no talent, but good hand-eye and motor skills that they have honed with hours and hours wasted, with a game controller and a mom that can't afford babysitters, or would rather not try hard enough, to raise a formidable representative of the species......

Conclusive Proof of the Existence of Ghosts

Baby finally making me feel insane (occasionally) (Blog Entry by smibbo)

swampgirl says...

Yes! Persephone hit it on the head. You sound like a mom that could use a break! If you have babysitters, use them...and fast. Ideally an overnighter where you could sleep in and then have the rest of the day for yourself

If you don't have many babysitting options, then just have hubby take them for a day and you get out of the house. Just having your own thoughts to yourself for a while can work wonders for your nerves.

In the meantime, eat right, take walks,take long hot baths with the lights off, nap when they do, and get an ipod w/ some good headphones!

Halliburton (does not) Supports the Troops

theaceofclubz says...

In Afghanistan the local labor that Halliburton employs only gets paid between 2 dollars(for doing unskilled labor - like clearing mines) to up to ten dollars if the Afghan could speak English and serve as foreman for the crew. This led to an overabundance of "hodgie" laborers running around and most of the KBR crew just serving as babysitters. It wouldn't surprise me if their fleecing of Afghanistan wasn't more efficient. I didn't, however, see any of the major fraud and abuse highlighted in this clip. Although, they did serve steak and lobster on Fridays in the chow hall.

/seriously - not that I was complaining at the time, but ya, they did.
