No, I agree on that. It was the term "boob" that offended me.

It's part of my war on women.

sexualize them and thereby marginalize their contributions on IGX

One that I can recommend once kids are around 4-5 is called Some Dogs Do. It helped teach my kids that people do different thing for no other reason than some do, some don't. Kids are great at asking - why does that daddy have earings, long hair, covered in tats, etc. Rather than having an uncomfortable conversation a foot away from someone who might not find kids humorous - I can now just say - some dads don't , some dad's do. That is worth untold amounts of $.

LOL @ the sandals comment....not many of today's IGx regulars will know WTF you're talking about. That aside, I've probably read that book to my kids more than any other. These days, my daughter reads it to my son.

Like much of the arcane info at IGx, this has come in handy. My boss, who I like a lot, is having his first kid in a couple of weeks and because of this thread I've ordered a few books as a baby gift. Amazon gift wraps!

The new mom will love me and every time he reads to his little angel he'll feel my warm and reassuring nose between his ass cheeks.

IGx is like the world's greatest junk drawer. You never know what little item will fit perfectly with the need at hand.

It's funny how many of the same books are beloved in so many families.

In addition to many of the above, get any of the collections of stories by Robert Munsch. My kids never seem to tire of hearing them, over and over and over and over and over.

And for the record, Shel Silverstein has to be the single most threatening-looking children's author in history.

What ever happend to GDG? I really liked that guy. Well as much as I can someone on IG I have not met in RL.


Pinky ( Guy trained with us for a couple of years and is missed by all)

Mahler ( My friend before I even got on the fucking internet. As a matter of fact it's his fault I finally did. Bizznisss! and all. Real good friend. Helped me out alot.)

Nappy (Tried doing the deep stare thing but was a pretty cool dude after I locked stare back. I bet it's a cop meets a potential punk thing? The guy in RL will have you laughing your ass off imitating chain smoking Russian GS athletes.)

Andy ( I liked him alot when we were at the Judges table durring the 04 GS Nationals. Also offered to help me with something. His assesment of my issue gave me some food for thought. I am probably slightly dyslexic or have some kind of shit going on.)

Fat Cat ( Never met him but he sent me a real cool movie all the way from Hawaii, and our PM's are a bit different than our post.)

Bats ( Never met him in RL but again some good PM exchanges. I f I owned half a mountian and he the other I would not have to bother defending that approach in the least.)

Cimes ( If you can't get along with her and dont see what a nice person she is when you meet her, then your a fucking asshole.)

Lopa (Who does not like her?)

Christine ( The same, neat girl.)

Iron Dog ( My student, my friend and someone I know I could put my children behind and he would kill anyone and rather die then let them come to harm. The most loyal guy I know, period. And I know some loyal people too.)

Garm ( In person he was allright. He just decided to be a huge fucktard to a good friend of mine. And no, I don't have the pull to get the SS to go to anyone's house, if so I'd have better ways of abusing such power for my own gain.)


I love you fucking Zoo Sexual fucks! ( sob sob)
Now eat the peanuts out of my shit! And Craig's Mom is a whore and let's Gene lick her asshole.)

Yeah, yeah OP. Squats and Pistols!

You got me, Darth. I tried to lock eyes with you but you got that one coogly eye that's all over the place and it messed with my mojo. :rolleyes: :supz: \:D/

I've met or at least spoken to, just about all of the longtime IGx'ers at this point. Fatty is one I have not, either, but he is a very decent Haole as he was willing to look after one of my contractors I was sending to Hawaii about 5-6 years ago (holy shit, time is flying).
