    Ooooooookaayyy, I give. Is it an apple or a donut??

  • 2. domino said:

    TWO!

  • 3. domino said:

    Dooce, you should post at silly o'clock more often - gives us Englishers a chance at the top :)

    I reckon it's a big wadge of gum...

  • 4. Corrinne said:

    Nice. Bet he loves this photo.

    "Do you like sea food?" (See food).

    "Sure I do."

    "AAAAaaaaaahhhhh."

  • 6. Clearly said:

    You really shouldn't eat the yellow snow!

  • 7. Aimee said:

    It's a banana.

  • 8. sarah said:

    partially chewed food?

  • 9. wendy said:

    I just want to know if it's going down or on it's way out. ;)

    I'm in Forks, at one time known as the armpit of the world, but with age comes mellowing. It's now home sweet home. Not in Europe, just the good ole USA & up laaaaate. Read nocturnal tot.

  • 10. Matt in London said:

    The man is obviously an athlete...I mean, look at him....so it's going to be a power banana...(possibly also given away by the reference to 'nana' in the heading...)

  • 11. wendy said:

    Forgot to mention all of you Armstrongs rock.

    Thanks for the good times you add to life.

  • 12. Leah said:

    The lure of being 12th to post is the ONLY reason why I'm succumbing...well, that and that 4th cup of coffee I just downed to finish my paper.

    Love the Dooce!

  • 13. Henrykm_ said:

    Q: What do you toss to a drowning lawyer ?

    A: His partner!

  • 14. jordan said:

    Wow, another late night? Mmmm ... banana! That is what 'nana stands for right?

  • 15. Henrykm_ said:

    Fresh from my shower, I stood in front of the mirror complaining to my husband that my breasts were too small.

    Instead of characteristically telling me it's not so, he uncharacteristically came up with a suggestion.

    "If you want your breasts to grow, then every day take a piece of toilet paper and rub it between your breasts for a few seconds."

    Willing to try anything, I fetched a piece of toilet paper and stood in front of the mirror, rubbing it between my breasts.

    "How long will this take?" I asked.

    "They will grow larger over a period of years," my husband replies.

    I stopped.

    "Do you really think rubbing a piece of toilet paper between my breasts every day will make my breasts larger over the years?"

    Without missing a beat he says, "Worked for your ass, didn't it?"

  • 16. saralynnmo said:

    Good morning everyone! Top 20?

  • 17. lilyothefield said:

    i think it might be a banana, but i really don't want to know.

    the only reason i am here is i am still up. if i stay up past midnight, there is no telling when i will fall asleep. current time, 5:15.

  • 18. saralynnmo said:

    Why did the monkey fall out of the tree?
    He didn't have any arms.

    Why did the second monkey fall out of the tree?
    He was dead.

    Why did the third monkey fall out of the tree?
    Peer pressure.

  • 19. Natalie said:

    Nothing like a man chewing with his mouth open to start the day!

    Mm...I'm guessing Krispy Kreme.

  • 21. Ronny said:

    ooops a bit slow. changing posting times now ay? its all good, as usual. :)

  • 22. wherethewild said:

    Q.Why did the fourth monkey fall out of the tree?
    A. He was tied to the third monkey.

    Yes that hasn't gotten any less lame since third class.

  • 23. Angie said:

    I still can't believe a self-confessed dork was allowed to take expensive photographic equipment on a ski/snow-boarding trip!

  • 24. sim said:

    23?

  • 25. faith said:

    I know exactly what you mean about the baby-mobility. I now look back on the time when my son was immobile as possibly the most peaceful six months of my life. Of course that sort of peace-of-mind is gone now for ever. Now its toddling and climbing and running with someones-keys-in-his-hand, next, snowboarding, bungee-jumping, fast cars, loose women and endless worry until the day I die. Pass the vodka!

  • 26. kim said:

    okay now, that is gross. i feel for you, pat's wife..

  • 27. stephen said:

    Bring back Leta! It's been 12 photos since last we saw Leta, she could be dating by now for all we know.

  • 28. p-hawk said:

    So early a time for the photos. *rubs eyes*

  • 29. Michelle said:

    Looks like a 'nana too!
    Well done on this fabbo site, tis 11.13pm here in the land downunder.
    Cheers!

  • 30. minxlj said:

    OMG!!!!!!!!!! He's been taken over by the inexplicable urge to eat up BABY FEET! That's where Leta's gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ;-)

  • 31. the niffer said:

    Well, if Dooce had kept Leta's socks on the feet wouldn't have been so tempting.

  • 32. Bucky Four-Eyes said:

    You know, I've seen that exact same look on a $2 whore's face. . .just before she *spits*

    Uh, I meant that nicely, of course.

  • 33. Amy said:

    Is that the extent of what he can show his wife? Did he tear up the ski trails as well as he tore up the nanna?

  • 34. bushra said:

    this shit is bananas....

    sorry. that's the only banana related text i can think of. i bet Pat's wife wasn't surprised.

  • 35. bushra said:

    also...what happened to the ickly photo icon thingy?

  • 36. Susie said:

    Monkey jokes in the mornin'. It's gonna be a good day.

  • 37. Bucky Four-Eyes said:

    Oh, Susie. . .you said the "m" word!

    I'm bananas for monkeys!

    (sorry, awful joke, and even worse when you remember that monkey=vagina)

  • 38. Bucky Four-Eyes said:

    Yes. Yes, I have used the word "vagina" here before 8 am eastern time.

    Let the games begin.

  • 39. kim said:

    I agree with the banana guesses. Definitely chewed banana.

    You know how in elementary school, the teachers would always tell you to eat a banana on the big state testing days, because bananas are "brain food"? Is there any truth to that?

  • 40. Susie said:

    Susie said at 01:55PM, 02.28.2005:
    I would just like to go on record once again as voting for “monkey” being used to mean: “any mammal of the order Primate.” We NEED to let monkeys be monkeys, people!

    Bucky, don't make me send you pictures of my giant monkey.

  • 41. ShooeGirl24 said:

    Dooce, I love, love, love your site. I have been reading it faithfully at every lunch break since September. Great eye for pictures. I think Leta, Chuck and Jon are very lucky to have you as their family.

  • 42. Bucky Four-Eyes said:

    Susie, I'll bet your monkey is not giant. Don't be so self-critical, gurrrlfriend. I'm sure your monkey is *just* the right size.

  • 43. Sarah said:

    Bucky, if Monkey = Vagina, then what does that do to all those guys who go around 'spankin' the monkey'??

  • 44. Bucky Four-Eyes said:

    Sarah -- just wishful thinkin' on their part.

  • 45. coskel said:

    bananas have a lot of potassium - when i first moved ot aspen, peolple would say to eat a lot of them to help your body adjust to the altitude.

    Then again, who is it who said - bananas taste the same coming back up as they do going down?

    must go get coffee...

  • 46. Sarah said:

    BFE---LOL!

    You don't miss a beat. You rock! ;-)

  • 47. Lauren Stranahan said:

    I'm a monkey.

    Your a monkey.

    Wouldn't you like to be a monkey, too?

    (Did I just call myself a dick? I usually leave that to outsiders...)

  • 48. Mamaramma said:

    Good morning! Did anyone read that obscure report a couple of years ago that bananas are going to be extinct (relatively) soon?

  • 49. donnaly said:

    Just curious as to how Bucky Four-eyes knows about the look on a $2 whore's face before she 'spits'? Inquiring minds want to know...??

  • 50. Cristin said:

    Bucky Four-Eyes said at 05:32AM, 03.01.2005:

    Uh, I meant that nicely, of course.

    Bucky you definitely rock!
    bwah hah hah hah hah

    and kim - the teachers wanted us to eat bananas because, as many mom's know, bananas are part of the anti-diarhea diet. Bananas and rice stop up a leaky kid, eventually.
    So for those of you who used to get stressed-induced poop spurts at school during testing

    should've eaten more bananas!

  • 51. song said:

    why did the fifth monkey fall out of the tree?

    Thought it was a race.

  • 52. Cheryl said:

    Remind me to never make Heather mad so she posts a picture like this of me!!

  • 53. Lauren Stranahan said:

    I kinda wondered that, too donnaly ..

    What cost $2 anymore? There must be a KMart for cheap whores or something in Buckyville...

  • 54. Cristin said:

    um, meant "stress-induced" duh

  • 55. song said:

    and now that my son has chicken pox and I have to miss uni and my mum can't babysit because her girlfriend is in her third trimester I am groaning why oh why did I not get that immunisation? Lucky he has a mild case. I hope Leta gets happy soon.

  • 56. Lauren Stranahan said:

    ah, Cristin ..

    and I meant 'you're' .. but I guess that is what I get when I think I am smart enough to ingage myself with other humans before consuming obscene quanities of caffine.

    Guys, I have a mirror.

  • 58. from NJ said:

    ew. i did not have breakfast yet and for some reason, i think i'll pass...why is my stomach nasty? excuse me while i dry-heave. man, i better not be pregnant.

  • 59. donnaly said:

    does it cost another two bucks to watch? ~blinks~

  • 60. Lisa S said:

    Is that a pineapple??

  • 61. Bucky Four-Eyes said:

    donnaly --
    It's free to watch, but you must first sign a nondisclosure agreement, so that my trade secrets remain my own.

    Even a $2 whore like me has professional standards.

  • 62. Lisa S said:

    Oh, of course it's a banana. Now that I've read the title for a third time. DORK!

  • 63. Mrs.Strizzay said:

    Bucky your a dirty little $2 whore.

  • 64. Mrs.Strizzay said:

    I just ate some stale Kix. BLECH! Good thing I made a back up cheese quesadilla.

  • 65. Susie said:

    I'm very frightened. I'm starting to think like BFE. I started to type the reply about the mirror, but then I said, no, that's mean. Is there a helpline number to call when you realize you've been hopelessly corrupted by the influence of dooceketeers? Is there a law against contributing to the delinquency of a blog-commenter? Bucky, you would be SO busted.

  • 66. Mrs.Strizzay said:

    And busty too

  • 67. donnaly said:

    BFE, nice to know there's still some professional integrity in the world.

  • 68. Jennifer in Kansas City said:

    Let me see (puts on Sherlock Holmes hat), in the photo title it says, "'nana". So either Pat's eating a banana or the last cooked up bit of his grandmother. I don't watch all those damned CSI shows for nothin'.

  • 69. Susannah said:

    I know this may not help right now Heather but if Leta is having the chicken pox now, be glad because she won't really remember them and you'll have plenty of cute adorable frog-princess Leta moments to pile on top of the ramming your head against the wall sans helmet moments. I didn't get them until I was a JUNIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL and I was so miserable I wanted to die on a daily basis.

  • 70. Mrs.Strizzay said:

    Maybe her ate her raw.

  • 71. Bucky Four-Eyes said:

    LMAO, Jen in KC.

    Striz -- I'd be *real* busty if I just gathered it all up, y'know?

    Susie -- Mum's the word. You know that "three strikes" rule? One more violation, and they'll take me to a place where my monkey will be violated on a daily basis by my overpowering cellmates and. . .and. . .

    I forgot. Why was I complaining?

  • 72. Mrs.Strizzay said:

    You were complaining because Martha would be making cracker nachos talking about it was a good thing while you were violated.

  • 73. Mrs.Strizzay said:

    The good news, Susannah, is that Heather _normally_ wears a helmut when ramming things with her head. And goggles.

  • 74. Bucky Four-Eyes said:

    Aaaaah, chicken pox. Had 'em mildly at age 7, thought I was done.
    HA!
    Age 22: spotty face, flu-like symptons. Dr's prognosis: chicken fucking pox. Full-blown chicken fucking pox. I have never been so sick in my life.

    And my lovely dad, rest his twisted pun-lovin' soul, made sure to nickname me "Spot" and take lots of pictures. And he also made sure to show them to Jim, who I'd just started dating.

    I'm pretty sure it's all out of my system now, but I'm *still* terrified to be around kids with the c-pox.

  • 75. Mrs.Strizzay said:

    Your only supposed to get it once Bucky.

  • 76. Bucky Four-Eyes said:

    Striz -- no shit, I was caught completely off guard when the doc made his diagnosis. I'd knowingly exposed myself to my pox-y nephews the week before, mistakenly believing myself to be immune.

    Oh, and for your information, Martha only makes the cracker nachos *after* she's violated my monkey.

  • 77. Mrs.Strizzay said:

    Martha is scary.

  • 78. Mrs.Strizzay said:

    And don't get snippy with me Spot.

  • 79. Susie said:

    See Spot.
    Spot has two dollars.
    See Spot spit.

  • 80. Bucky Four-Eyes said:

    Susie, Striz, all I have to say to you two whippersnappers is:

    HRRRRRAK-PTOOOOO!
    Gimme my money.

  • 81. Ana said:

    Good1!

  • 82. CgS said:

    BFE: If you get a mild case of chicken pox as a youngster, you can still get the virus later in life. And, I hear it's always worse when you're older. When my oldest nephew got chicken pox from the kids at school, she didn't isolate my younger nephew from his brother. She wanted him to get it when he was still little. The poor little fellow was so happy that when he got the first few little dots because he felt that he was just like his big brother. After the fever hit though, he wasn't so amused with the whole thing. But, he got a full-blown case of it and should now be immune.

  • 83. Gooooder said:

    is there really any time when it is inappropriate to talk about penises!

    i think not.

  • 84. CgS said:

    Not that it matters, but "she" = my sister.

    will go back to lurking now

  • 85. Mrs.Strizzay said:

    RE:#80

    I thought you said gimme my monkey

  • 86. Bucky Four-Eyes said:

    Striz, is that you clutchin' my monkey?

    Leggo my labia!

  • 87. Mrs.Strizzay said:

    Bucky were is everyone? Maybe is some more lurkers de lurked we could get this party started.

    *HINT HINT LURKERS*

    Bucky, you got me coughing up cooter.

  • 88. AndiMAC said:

    Dam, its after 9 am on the east coast and havent even passed 90 comments yet. You people are sluggish today. Happy March 1st!

  • 89. Susannah said:

    My husband had the chicken pox twice. Once not so bad and then once really really awful about 5 years later. No good.

  • 90. Cristin said:

    help....schools closed....two girls sniping at each other mercilessly...both clawing at me...ugh...help.........

  • 91. Susie said:

    Some of us must get to work. I am also taking my monkey in this morning for grooming. She's terribly messy; spits and drools a lot.

    Anybody seen Dang Cold..?

  • 92. Mrs.Strizzay said:

    Chicken pox is transmitted through the air.

    Skin vesicles contain the virus but are not the primary sources.

  • 93. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:

    I am so sad to hear that Ms. Leta has the chicken pox. I had them when I was four and my sisters had them at the same time. I had this mammoth chicken pock smack dab in the middle of my forehead, and my mom had to put socks on my hands to keep me from scratching. My sister had a big chicken pock on her ass, which was hilarious because she was always scratching the hell out of it.

    Is it true that you get shingles from the chicken pox? I heard that if you got chicken pox as a kid you can get the shingles as an adult.

  • 94. Bucky Four-Eyes said:

    Susie -- good luck with the monkey groomin'. They're real pretty if you can hold 'em under the hair dryer long enough.

    Haven't seen Dang for a couple of days. Lastest post on his site is Sunday.

  • 95. Mrs.Strizzay said:

    Chickenpox and shingles are two diseases caused by the same virus, varicella. The virus is similar to the herpes virus, and to Epstein-Barr virus (which causes mononucleosis).

  • 96. Bucky Four-Eyes said:

    I'm callin' you Doctor Striz today. You may diagnose my chronic pig-itis when I get back from having a smoke.

  • 97. Cristin said:

    Ha! I'm sure he just *loves* this picture...

    Heh, we're trying to get our 2-1/2 year old to stop doing this, but that's a tough thing to accomplish when we keep laughing at it.

  • 101. tIffany said:

    Bucky, the pox was God's way of punishing you for exposing yourself to your nephews. Shame on you!

    Before it gets too much nastier in here, I just want to comment and say how much I LOVE IT that Leta calls herself Leego.

  • 102. southern fried girl said:

    Poor Leta with the pox. The pox are no fun. I hope she feels better.

    Love the pic....chewed up food is always funny. Like bathroom humor.

  • 103. Cristin said:

    Heather, my eldest did not talk at all until she was nearly two. We had the appointment coming up for the "serious" hearing tests, even though we knew she could hear.
    On day, my father-in-law was teasing her, holding one of her toys over her head.

    She kicked his foot and SCRUHEEEEEAAAAMMMMMED

    "NO! DAS MOTSINS!!!!"

    after a few more repetitions, we realized she was trying to say "no, that's Megan's"

    Cancelled the appointment shortly thereafter. She began talking in short sentences right then and there. Doc figured she was just and observing kinda kid. wanted to watch everyone first, and only talked when it was important.

    She is now in 5th grade, straight-A honor roll and in the accelerated program. Go figure.

  • 104. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:

    Wow Dr. Striz. You are extremely well-read on the whole chicken pox/Epstein Barr thing. Let me guess - you at one point had a houseful of screaming, itching children?

  • 105. Mrs.Strizzay said:

    Cristin define official.

    My son was a late talker. CUZ HE COULD BE. What? Want your momma to take care of everything while you point and grunt? Ok my sweet little suger booger.

  • 106. nika said:

    how...fetching.

    ;)

  • 107. Mrs.Strizzay said:

    Katie, nope never. Google honey. SHHH our little secret. I had it, my kids have had the vaccine. (except the baby)

  • 108. Cristin said:

    well, several regulars post there, and heather too, so is that official?

    :)

  • 109. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:

    Cristin, I have heard of many children like that. My eldest sister was one of them. She didn't utter a word until she was two years old. She would point at things she wanted and grunt really loud. My mom kept freaking out because she thought her kid had something wrong with her. An elderly neighbor lady kept telling my mom not to worry, that my sister would talk when she really wanted something. Obviously she hadn't found anything compelling enough to talk about. So one day, after getting fed up with listening to her kid grunt and scream for things, my mom felt a little tug on her shirt and heard my sister say "Can I please have a glass of milk?" She just about shit her pants.

  • 110. Cristin said:

    yeah, Katie, same reaction we had.

    Wore off when Meg, weeks later, said "Mom, you are tissing me off!"

  • 111. Circus Kelli said:

    When Punkin (our oldest girl) got the chicken pox, Sweet Pea (our *then* youngest) was only 6 months old. Both had rec'd the vaccine, and Punkin's case was mild. Nearly three weeks pass and I thought that Sweet Pea wouldn't get them and I exhaled. Ten minutes later, they started showing up on Sweet Pea. I have some awfully adorable pictures of a calamine-spotted baby Sweet Pea.

  • 112. squirll said:

    I had never been such a bitch as i was when i got the chicken pocks at age 14 at a birthday party. Hell. high feaver for 2 weeks. it even involved hallucinations that the cast of 'good times' was attacking me. i hid behind the tv to be safe from them.

  • 113. Mrs.Strizzay said:

    Poste em CK..you haven't updated in a YEAR.

  • 114. bethy-mae said:

    Yeah poor Leta, the pox are going around. JH's little girl has them. Poor kid has had the flu, stomach virus, now the pox. I only had a mild case, so I'm staying away. Way away.

    I haven't even had the first cigarette of the day and we already are on $2 whores and spitting. Good morning to all ya'll.

  • 115. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:

    Megan obviously figured out the beauty of language and cussing really quick. Smart kid!

    That's like my mom's friend, who has a pretty bad cursing habit. I remember when her daughter was about 2 years old, she was flipping through the channels on the tv at my house. She got really mad and screamed "Where's the futtin' Disney channel!!!"

  • 116. that-andrea said:

    Great photos - loved the slideshow!

  • 117. Mrs.Strizzay said:

    Baby is in bed, son is watching amovie, hubby is knocke dout on the couch. I am going back to bed. So long suckers.

  • 118. spoonleg said:

    I've had the chicken pox twice. Yeah, that's right. The first time was when my mom forced me to play with a friend who had them, thinking I'd get them too and get the whole thing over with. Well I did get them, but it was mild (it did not feel so mild at the time) so I got them again years later when my brother brought them home. Life just kinda sucks like that.

  • 119. Circus Kelli said:

    Striz, we're kinda careful with pics of the little clowns. (You know how creepy internet people can be) I can't really post the chicken pox pix. ;)

    I know it's been a while since I updated... I'll post soon.

  • 120. Circus Kelli said:

    Striz, you're going back to bed? Damn. I'm all sorts of envious of you right now. Futtin' work! It gets in the way of my naps!

  • 121. Dazed & Confuzed said:

    Best line in Dooce's post: "...an impressionable grumpy muffin was yodeling in the backseat". I think "yodeling" is probably the funniest word in the entire world. And Canada.

  • 122. stacy said:

    I was about 6 or 7 whe I got the chicken pox. My mom gave me a hanger to scratch with, and told me to make sure and wach it off before I scratched anywhere else or it would spread. Being the little bitch I am, I scratched a pock(?), and proceeded to lick the hanger then rub it between my toes, and down the crack of my ass. Yes, I had a chicken pock on my tongue. And between my toes, and yes, down the crack of my ass. That was a hard lesson learned my friends. And to add to my bitchness, I gave it to my little 2 year old sister on purpose, while she was handing me flowers she picked from the backyard. Like I said...bitch.

  • 123. that-andrea said:

    The image of a child licking a hanger she just scratched a pock with....

    I need to go back to bed.

  • 124. that-andrea said:

    Hey cool, I was 1-2-3

  • 125. LadyBug said:

    Oh, Lord, stacy....I read your comment and had to go back and RE-read it, to make sure you didn't lick the hanger after you stuck it in your butt-crack.

    Need more caffeine...

  • 126. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:

    Wow, that is one cool Mom to give you a hanger to scratch with. My mom smothered us in calamine lotion, stuck socks on our hands, and wouldn't let us get within fifty feet of a coat hanger.

  • 127. Banana said:

    I distinctly remember, being around the age of eight years old, sitting in the backseat and screaming to my sister, "What the hell's a bastard?!" I thought they were going to wreck the car.

  • 128. August95 said:

    Now THAT is what I call sexy

  • 129. greenthumb said:

    Oh the dreaded pox...I have scars from those nasty ass bastards. I must of been in the 5th grade when it struck. I had them EVERYWHERE, even on my weewaa. I was one miserable little fuck.

  • 130. Banana said:

    As for chicken pox, I was like six, and they duct-taped oven mitts on my hands. I was so excited to get them, because everyone else was at the time, and I wanted to be like them.

    Wow, first it's spittin' $2 whores, then monkeys, now yodeling muffins?

    Yodeling muffin.

    Now that's one helluva queef!

  • 132. greenthumb said:

    My dad, the loving father that he is, HEARD that if you put rubbing alcohol on them, it would take the itch out and dry them out quicker.

    I don't remember much more than screaming and then it all went dark.

  • 133. Girl.A said:

    BFE,
    Yodeling muffin! YES. I wanna see that. And the lady show shoots ping pong balls too.

    How's that Unix documentation coming, hmm?

  • 134. Banana said:

    Yeah, takes out the itch and puts you in AGONY. What a crazy man.

    One time I went really deep into the woods and got covered in THOUSANDS of seed ticks. I had to stand naked in my front yard while my mom poured alcohol all over me. God, what a memory. I had ticks in my ass crack for crying out loud.

    Who is that sexy man!

    Okay, apart from the fact that Sean, Pei and the DJ look like wickedly cool homeboys with a bad case of the munchies - what is with Pei's 'flavour saver'? All beard or nothing, I say.

  • 137. Bucky Four-Eyes said:

    Girl.A -- the eunuch's documentation is coming along. . .well, much more slowly since I can't seem to stop commenting about whore monkey muffins this morning.

    Oh, and a belated reply to Tiffany -- While I *have* been ticketed for indecent exposure more times than I care to admit (it's public record, people -- do your own legwork), I plead innocent to nekkidity in front of my nephews. Unless you count my oldest nephew, who used to take every opportunity to peek at my boobs when he was five.

  • 138. Banana said:

    SPeaking of public nakedness, the whole tick incident happened right beside a main road. This was in the nineties, too. How creepy.

  • 139. U.B. said:

    I still want to know wtf an avalanche cannon is. Did Jon have gas, or something?

    Yodeling muffin -- wow bob wow. The imagery is disturbing. I think a yodel could be included on a list of things I don't want to be confronted with in a muffin...

  • 140. Hannah said:

    P.S. Your 'Top of the lift' shot is pretty darn good. While I'm contemplating why we've had one of the wettest Febs (I live south of the equator) on record, I feel completely ripped off that we NEVER get snow!

  • 144. lawbrat said:

    My younger sister and I had horrid chicken pox when mom was pregnant with 3rd sister (no boy siblings). My poor mom!

    Both my kids and ex-husband received the vaccine. Oldest and ex-husband at the same time. Thankfully, no one came down with it.

    On another note, are there any attorneys in here that are familiar with forming corporations? PROJECT DUE TODAY. I SUCK.

  • 145. Dr. Johnny Fever said:

    I remember having a chicken pock on my weiner.

    No, but if you hum a few bars...

  • 148. K E N N Y said:

    They didn't have the vaccine when I was a kid and I got pox when I was about 8 or 9. My kid will get the vaccine and we'll pray she doesn't get the pox as an adult.

    Hee. Nana. Too funny!

    Also, a comment PSA - My girl Miss Doxie (http://www.missdoxie.com) is donating one dollar to ACS for every comment she gets. If you read this, please go comment to her. She would be thrilled! Thanks!

    I worked in corporate and securities law for a short while lawbrat. I'm not a lawyer, though - just a legal secretary. Although we do all the work, anyway. What do you need to know? I can't promise I will remember anything, though - I tried to block it all out.

  • 152. Effie said:

    Hey--if you're all looking for Dang Cold, he's probably got a snow day--he's from near Toronto from what I hear and it's like a blizzard out there--close to it here too: very "Marshmallow World"-like. Not too cold but definitely slippery!

    Nice banana-mouth! I don't like see-food though, thanks!

  • 153. kalki said:

    Em, what a neat way to raise money for an important cause!

    I'm going to plea for comments now, too, although not for any particular cause other than my cat's self-esteem. I put his ass on the internet for all to see (Butts for Butterflies) and I'd like to be able to tell him people think he's adorable. Click on my name to see the cat butt.

  • 154. lawbrat said:

    2 people taking over a 'family business' run as a C corp. The 2 people have a 3rd coming on board for fiancial aspects. I have made the 'new' business (the 2+1) an S corp - flow thru taxation, more flexible than an LLC with regard to the 3rd person for financial reasons. Have all the forms filled out...articles of incorp, bylaws, shareholder agreement, stock certificates. With regard to the federal and state tax filings...WHAT THE FUCK DO I DO? I have the forms for basic business filings, employment taxes, unemploy taxes, ...Do I leave them blank, as the business is just now forming and will file at the end of the year (calander year taxation, b/c S corp) and I dont have any solid financial numbers....is just having the forms the right place to be?

    THANK YOU Katie!

    Anyone remember the knitted kiddie gloves with lil' puppet heads on the ends of the fingers???? when I had the chicken pox, my mum made me where those 24 hrs a day to prevent me from using my fingernails to scratching...and Calamine lotion was still pink back then.

  • 159. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:

    That is a really good question, lawbrat. I am definitely no expert on corporate law, like I said - my specialty is patent law. But this is what I know.

    The S Corporation is a pass-through tax entity which means that the income or loss generated by the business is reflected on the personal income tax return of the owners, not the corporation.
    The S Corporation must make a timely election of its S Corporation status and newly formed corporations must file form 2553 within 75 days of the formation date in order to possibly obtain S Corporation status for the current year.

    It looks like you are on the right track with filling out all the forms from what I see. But then again, I have tried to block out everything and anything having to do with corporate law, so don't listen to anything I say! haha.

  • 160. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:

    Eek! Is that you, Chris? Did you figure out that I am on Dooce.com all day and wanted to see if you could get some work out of me? Dammit!

  • 161. The IRS said:

    Lawbrat: check this out.

    http://tinyurl.com/72nm

    The IRS website was the only reason I got any semblance of a passing grade in fed. income tax my second year.

  • 162. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:

    And that totally probably bypassed your question, and I probably just told you crap you already know. I could never understand why someone would willingly go into corporate law. Don't do it, lawbrat!!! Stay as far away from it as you can!!!

  • 163. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:

    The IRS - great website - I am doing my research now.

    I'm not doing real work, so what the hell, I may as well try and help out lawbrat.

    and busty too, I might add.

    Dammit, I am always getting sexually harrassed around here.

  • 169. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:

    That's what I'm talkin' about greenthumb. Corporate law and anything having to do with the IRS is absolutely horrifying. If I had to deal with the Secretary of State one more day, I was going to shoot myself.

    Let's talk about more interesting topics. Like poop!

  • 170. greenthumb said:

    poop, poop, that magical of fruits...big ones, skinny ones, short fat ugly ones...a poop is a poop is a poop... and for one more...have you hugged your poop today?

  • 171. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:

    I haven't hugged a poop today, but I have pinched a loaf.

  • 172. Girl.A said:

    Poop comes in all colors.

    And now I think I know why they call you *green*thumb.

    I dropped the kids of at the pool earlier this morning.

  • 174. Freddie said:

    I ave to say...(tis is not my accent ere....my "H" button isnt workin too well) Wot I wanted to say was... I tink Leta is so much saying her name rather... lee-go as in she wants to be removed from the current situation she finds herself in.... babies always refer to themselves in the third person.
    Probably stating the obvious here...but well done Leta!

  • 175. Katie-be-bored-at-work said:

    Has anyone ever read the book "Everybody Poops"?

  • 176. greenthumb said:

    No, but I saw it in the bookstore once, and resisted the urge to pick it up with my boss in tow.

  • 177. Bucky Four-Eyes said:

    Katie-BBAW -- I *love* "Everybody Poops." It's a real page turner!

    My friend lent it to my other friend's daughter, whom we will call "Biscuit." Biscuit fell in love with the book, to the point where her mom would walk in and find Biscuit kissing the poop pictures on every page.

    Needless to say, mom took the book away from Biscuit.

  • 178. greenthumb said:

    Freddie...it's pretty funny to read tat way...LOL! Nice addition to our boredom.

  • 179. Aisling said:

    First time poster...hi everybody.. I dont know if this has been mentioned yet, but I know from talking to my now adult friends about getting chicken pox when we were all kids, that some parents used to throw Chicken pox parties. The idea being that all the children would get them at the same time, and that would be chicken pox "over and done with"..I dont recall this happening to me, although being in a family of five children this probably happened anyway. :)

  • 180. OregonKim said:

    Love the pictures. Goodness your baby is getting so big! I love her Buddha hairstyle.

    One question though. What was the Grinch casserole you were making in that pan?

  • 181. Kassi said:

    Bucky, yes I have that book. There is also a book titled "Everybody Farts" as well. I am waiting for the sister series starting off with "Nobody Poops But You"...it is sure to cause some sort of neurosis in young children.

  • 182. Amanda B. said:

    Awwww yeah. Chew it Pat. You know I love it when you masticate like that. Call me Donnie. Now call me Joey.

    Pei is mucho yummy. I think I love him a little bit.

    Leta? I was expecting Leta today. I'll bet you have a picture of Leta with food in/on her mouth.

  • 184. Scott said:

    How can you complain about not getting pictures of Leta when you get pictures of some hefty snowboarding dude with a mashed up banana in his mouth looking like he is about to hurl? Wait a minute...

    Where's Leta? Please post Leta! =)

    We are getting snowed on here too. We are supposed to get like a foot by tomorrow. BLAH. Whatever I need to fucking work out and I swam a 1/4 mile yesterday and my arms are sore. I am so out of fucking shape.

    Weighing heavily on my mind people.

    well, i did it. I bought my D70 yesterday.

    I cried about 7 times on the way home, but i'm okay now.

    I swear I think there is a switch that runs the toaster on this thing!
