Mom Jeans

I am so proud of my wife for fitting back in to her pre-pregnancy jeans. To celebrate, she went out today and bought some nice jeans. To be honest, I have lost track of what kinds of jeans are "cool" these days. At one time these jeans were cool:






and I used to wear them like this:







but now the more crap on the pockets, the cooler the jeans






this seems to be a bit much for me. Any thoughts? Better yet, what is an appropriate amount to spend on jeans? What is the most you've ever spent on jeans?

Do you own a pair of "Mom Jeans"?






Elvis, the Pelvis, ain't got nothing on Prime


Recently, my wife held a "Dork Contest" on her blog where I was one of the unwiling contestants. While my comment about Optimus Prime, the greatest Transformer of all time, does not rise to the level of belonging to the Celine Dion Fan Club, I must draw the line at the term "Dork" as used by my dear wife. What I said was probably "geeky" but certainly did not rise to the level of dorkdom.


A "dork" is someone who lacks social skills.

A "geek" is someone who is really into stuff like computers, comics, video games (usually to the point of obsession), but not necessarily a "nerd".


A "nerd" is someone who obsesses with being smart and will let you know how smart they are but may not be a "geek".


A "fernard" is someone who repeatedly performs acts of stupidity.


A "fathead" is someone with, well, a fat head.


My wife, for instance, obsesses over Elvis. She loves anything Elvis and knows all his songs, including all the bad ones. This would put her in the category of "Elvis Geek". Elvis, as pictured above, would be in the category of "fathead".

Adults wearing costumes

Should adults dress up for Halloween? People have asked me what I am going to be for Halloween and so far all I can say is "A Concerned Parent."

Is there a cutoff age? It seems like you can get away with it through middleschool and then you get weird looks at the door. You know exactly what I am talking about....those high schoolers who show up at the door wearing what they wore to school and some stupid mask they bought at Hot Topic.

When you become an adult it suddenly becomes appropriate again to "dress up". You go to Halloween parties, and sometimes dress up for work. However, one my favorite comics, Lewis Black, said that adults should not dress up for Halloween because, as an adult, you can wear a costume whenever you want. If you wanted to go into work tomorrow dressed as Batman you could. Your boss will ask, "Who are you supposed to be" to which you would reply, "I....am Batman."

Halloween also seems to be a free pass to many women to dress less "scary" and more "slutty". Yes, Halloween is free reign to dress up as ho-ish as you want and no one is technically allowed to call you "slutty" because you are just wearing a costume. It is bascially an excuse to wear your lingerie outdoors and I, for one, am all for it.

Car Buying


I sold my Porsche this weekend because Mims wanted a new car.





My peers keep telling me that I will get a minivan.
Let me tell you the chances of this happening. I will buy a minivan when:
1. I decide to rob a bank and I need a getaway vehicle.
2. I decide to move an object that is too small for a normal van.
3. The minivan is actually a Transformer that can change into a gigantic robot.
4. A minivan looks like a Ferarri.
5. A minivan is the preferred vehicle for time travel.

Puke

If someone came up to you, screamed "WAWAWAWA!" and then puked milk on your shirt, you'd probably be a little miffed. You might even punch them in the face. What you wouldn't do is wipe off their mouth with a soft towel and then give them a kiss on the cheek.

So what's the deal with the babies? Mimi puked on me 7 times today and I still thought she was cute. I think she is secretly laughing at me because she can puke on me with impunity.

Why having a baby is like hanging out with a drunk college buddy:

1. Vommits on your shoulder
2. Wobbly; can't stand up without help
3. Incoherant speech
4. Drools
5. Pees/Poops in pants
6. Cries, then laughs often while farting
7. Likes boobs.

Assbooger Filing Method

Hi,


Let me remind everyone of a proper online filing process. A process has a set of numbered steps.

01.DoFirstThing

02.DoSecondThing

03.DoThirdThing


The step names should be active.


Within each step, you have Policy, Procedure, and Template directories as needed.

For example:

C:\DailyLife

Process

01.GetReadyForWork

01.GoToTheBathroom

Procedure

2007.03.30.GoToTheBathroom.Procedure.doc

02.TakeAShower

Procedure

2007.03.30.TakeAShower.Procedure.doc

03.BrushMyTeeth

Procedure

2007.03.30.BrushMyTeeth.Procedure.doc


02.GetReadyForBed

01.FlossMyTeeth

Procedure

2007.03.30.FlossMyTeeth.Procedure.doc

02.PutOnMyJammies

Procedure

2007.03.30.PutOnMyJammies.Procedure.doc

03.TurnOffTheLights

Procedure

2007.03.30.TurnOffTheLights.Procedure.doc


If a particular procedure is elaborate, for instance if "Putting on my jammies" was very difficult or anything like that, then maybe I would have a set of directory steps under there too...

Organize by the steps in the process...

Thanks,

Assbooger
