Notice Chuck in the background going BONKERS. He had sat still long enough for pictures and had finally HAD IT.

Heather talks about public tantrums (from kids) on today's Momversation.

- Hugs and kisses to you, too! RT: @Monkey_Tree: @dooce he probably committed suicide because he was tired of LISTENING TO YOU WHINE.
- Our fish just died. And I'm sitting here crying. And it wasn't even my fault!

Great costume!
2. Sarah said:
Heehee... I was first! Have a super day, everyone!
3. Michael said:
Love the Tiara! The girls here wear them, but without the right context, its not nearly as adorable
4. Brooke said:
HAHAHA. Chuck pulls the picture all together.
5. Alex said:
Where's Chucko?
6. krista said:
This picture is another one of the many that make me think you guys must live in a really beautiful area. I am utterly jealous.
7. Dale Cruse said:
Hey! That's the costume I was going to wear!
8. Heatheranne said:
Can you find the hidden Chuck?
9. taryn said:
Her Royal Highness might be the same age as my niece, who is obsessed with princesses and would wear a costume like that every day if she could.
10. Mary said:
That is a costume I would have sold my soul to have as a child. What a lucky little girl--and cute to boot!
11. kEma said:
What a beauty! And what a nice lil tongue :))
12. shannon c said:
I like how the colors of the leaves and the gold of the costume work together. Nice.
13. kerewin said:
Is that what happens in Utah? Little girls never cut their own bangs and are thereby rewarded with perfect costumes? Damn, I grew up in the wrong state!
14. Karry said:
Agh! The tongue! That so totally makes the photo. Great shot!
I am also envious of your back-yard. Or whoever's yard that is. The rock border on the garden is great.
15. Angie M said:
I wish I was a princess and/or a kid again - I don't wanna go to work tomorrow!
16. Crano said:
Awhhhh look... so cute!
Oh yeah there's a girl in the pic as well! :P
Chuck looks absolutly vicious! HAHA!
17. Amanda said:
OMG That website rip-off is so hilarious!!!! What nerve! Might as well call himself "docce" and save himself the trouble of changing his whole website name too!
18. Brooke said:
You know, Heather, I think I saw another "rip off" elsewhere..
19. Beth said:
Great picture! My halloween costumes often consisted of me being put in a garbage bag. You wanna be a punk rocker? Put on a garbage bag and spray your hair green. You wanna be a witch? Put on a garbage bag and paint your face green. I never had such pretty frills! Lovely!
Oh yes, checked out the rip off site - interesting that all forms of 'communication' links don't seem to work atm!
20. Amber said:
Crazy website stealers. Let's bash!
J/K There's gotta be some way to uhhh..do something civil?
BTW Does he notice the Copywright at the bottom?
21. Amber said:
Dooce, can't you sue? hehe.
22. Amber said:
Oh by the way...Lovely, lovely picture. Makes me wish I were young and princess like again. :)
23. Chloe said:
Katie is a princess! Katie is a princess! I would have loved a costume like that when I was a kid. I probably would have worn it to school, and not just on halloween!
Note that the "contact me" line on that site doesn't actually have an e-mail address/ guestbook attached to it. Can't imagine why-- the site isn't at all derivative of someone else's site. **cough cough** I'm sure no one would e-mail that person, angrily. Certainly not me! Nope.
24. bb said:
that website is hilariouuss. yea, don't you have a copyright or something?
I mean, I love your site and everything and wish I had the ability to make it as nice and interesting as you do, but copying? a little too far!
25. Katie said:
Okay, on the website thing - I noticed the blatant similarity to Heather's site, but honestly, I TOTALLY thought she was making fun of the crappy Nanoowrinoveleydo entries. Cause they were pretty funny, too, without all of the righteous anger.
26. Christina said:
I love the comment Mason left on that hacks website. The...in France! had me rolling.
Another great picture as always.
27. Christine said:
Since there's obviously a market for it, maybe you guys should sell blog templates, hmmm?
28. nance said:
well you sure upped his page views today! but wow, he can't even get his own creativity working. tsk.
katie looks prettyyy.
29. taryn said:
"hexagramDOTnu - Clearance Sale on Mundane Thoughts"
What a loser!!!! four exclamation points!!!!
30. Lactivist said:
Katie is beautimus!
(everyone must be over posting loser comments to the NaNo-guy 'cause it's taking forever for my comment to upload!)
31. Michelle said:
Dear dooce,
I got to go see Interpol live this weekend and I thought about you and thought how cool it would be if you could have been there, too. I even danced the arms-up, jazz hands, happy-to-be-alive dance during "Not Even Jail" just for you. My blog has drunken pics if you're interested.
32. Angie M said:
What the fuck is a hexagram anyhoo?! Whilst I love the design of this site - it's all about content, baby!
Why not send it in to http://www.pirated-sites.com/
33. Kimba No Limba said:
hexagramDOTnu blows. maybe we should stop clicking on the link though because he/she is gonna think their web page rocks and they should keep it up.
34. Amethyst said:
Adding my two cents of outrage re. stolen blog templete.
Dooce, you have an army at your beck and call here. You let us know what you want us to do and we'll all-up-ons him.
Great pic. Fabulous open mouth Chuck.
35. honestyrain said:
Imitation is the highest form of flattery. I would not be angry. He wants to be you. I am assuming it is a he. IS that right? It's not very original but then neither is the writing. This person would not have been seen by the many had you not linked us to him. He is forgotten faster than it takes to steal a template. How does one steal a template, anyway?
Picasso and Da Vinci didn't whine about being copied. Or at least they shouldn't have. That's how artistry works.
To Hexa-whoever-I'll be reading so make sure I'm not wasting my time. And hells's bells - get your own template.
36. christilee said:
pretty. Chuck looks like the "villian" in this shot. Very nice.
37. Good Job! said:
Looks like whoever it was took down the site, temporarily at least! Way to badger!
38. Mir said:
Your loyal fans have descended upon the hexagram dude and devoured him, methinks, because I cannot even see the page. Alas. I was looking forward to some righteous indignation, cuz I was already kinda bummed that Katie hadn't been dipped in bleu cheese....
39. cupcake said:
Damn. I had just started reading that lame-o site. Denied!
40. Fran said:
I get a big forbidden message when I try to access the counterfeit site. That's okay. I like my daily dose of dooce.
Katie is adorable with cameo by Chuck.
41. eddo said:
Buffalo wings are indeed heaven- HEAVEN!! I am totally going to get me some now- Wingstop here in Texas is pretty good, but so are the ones at Hooters. I doubt there is a hooters in Utah- I have to get my wings to go because I am a Christian and Christians can't be seen ogling women's boobs- yes, we like them but we aren't allowed to ogle them. BUt the Buffalo wings there are the best I've had- and I have had A LOT!
42. Moxie said:
...after discovering the frog-baby in the woods, the princess licked her lips thinking on the last time she tasted Cuisses de Grenouilles.
43. elswhere said:
Does Leta get the costume when Katie outgrows it? Cause you know she's gonna want it.
44. Jennifer said:
Actually, Mr. Hex has a message for us now, you should recheck the site.
He is so busted! He seems to not know the force of commentary here!
45. maggie said:
Hex's writing looks remarkably like the crap they make "intro to creative writing" students write, with too many adjectives to make a story interesting to anyone other than the idiot writer himself. I've written garbage like that in those classes, too. It involves major dedication to "shift-F7", also known as the thesaurus in Word. Sad part is, his teacher probably told him it was amazing writing--some people eat that sh*t right up.
That boy should stop being such a pretentious poser and work on his "craft" a bit more...or maybe he's just too interested in taking "edgy" photos of his pseudo-punk life to worry about how bad his writing actually is.
I can't believe he had the nerve to copy your site design--imitation may be flattery, but plagerism is not. People like that make me want to vomit.
46. shelagh said:
Im just confused about the "six each" on the buffallo wing goodness. 6?
When I make wings for my husband and I, we eat about 20 each. I mean, they're little. Like chips.
47. espressoblogger said:
It kinda disturbs me that she's licking her lips... or that somebody would choose to publish said photo.
I had to laugh though. Hilarious!
48. se said:
My god, Hex, how about this. Your writings are just little stories, so no big deal if someone copies them and claims them as their own. And if her stylesheet is so simplistic, why didn't you just make your own? Not real big with the thinkin' are you?
49. espressoblogger said:
Can you believe this dude's grammar and spelling. Lack of capitalization. Lack of apostrophization on "its." Inappropriate usage of an ellipsis.
I wish I saw the original, before the changeover. Does anyone have a screenshot? To defend this guy a little, Dooce is one of many sites clearly influenced by CSSZENGARDEN.
But blatant ripoffs, this is not acceptable.
50. Karry said:
he's got just an email address now. The troll....
51. alex@hexagram.nu said:
Seems the hexagram guy now is now pouting...he's put up an email link, but I found a cached page on the internet with his real one:
alex@hexagram.nu
52. Amber said:
CSSZENGARDEN?! Why haven't I heard of this before?!
Now I wish even more that I had talent to make beautiful looking sites.
53. B said:
In defense of Hex's writing: he is attempting to do 50,000 words in 30 days. www.nanowrimo.org. I saw some of the comments that people left before the site was taken down. No offense but don't you guys have something better to do on a sunday? Though it did work and he did take the plagerized site down. but sheesh glad some of you wern't on my playground in grade school.
54. heathabee said:
dooce, do you have a counter on your site? because the copy-cat does now - so I guess technically, it's YOUR counter since you're directing most of your traffic to that site! woo! you so popular!
ps. i want katie's dress. the puffed sleeves, the cross-ribbon on the front - absolutely beeeeuuuutttiieeeefullllll!!
:)
55. Meg said:
Hmm...CSSZENGARDEN isn't really all that similar to dooce.com.
56. Minla said:
I love this picture Heather! It's classic.
57. anna said:
CSS Zen Garden seems to be a site that features the CSS designs of hundreds of different designers, all with the same content. You click on a menu to see the different designs...

I guess imitation is the best form of flattery. It's still kind of creepy, though.
61. Peter Hentges said:
I am amused that the Google ads included a site advertising a "Daniel Boone Bowie Knife."
(The conflation of historical persons only adds to my amusement.)
62. jessielee said:
for those who may wonder, there is indeed a hooters in utah. it's located in midvale, which is just a part of the suburban sprawl that surrounds salt lake city.
63. Abby said:
Go ahead. Call me an idiot.
But my first thought at said hacker's site was ... why the HELL do nanowrimo? I'll never understand that "event."
Then I noticed the layout.
Doh.
But I STILL think I'm write in both.
And rock on, lil' princess.
64. lekki said:
what are buffalo wings? We don't have them here.
65. Friday said:
Good story. WHO did you say got the last wing? In the end?
66. Catherine said:
I live in Buffalo. The wings here are GREAT. Everyone is fat here because it snows all the time and we eat huge amounts of wings all winter. We also have Buffalo Wing Soup; which is essentially Cream of Chicken with a bunch of Frank's Red Hot added at the end of cooking. It is very good. We also put Frank's Red Hot diluted with a touch of vinegar on sandwiches. Hooray Buffalo!!!
67. Catherine said:
If you would like to know the origins of the Buffalo Wing please go to www.anchorbar.com. It is a nice place that used to be a prostitute hangout/ dive bar back in the days of old.
68. Jenny said:
I would love to see a picture of buffalo wings make it to the daily photo entry. Anyone with me?
69. espressoblogger said:
Yeah Buffalo wings!! I'm with you!
70. Leon said:
My day can completely blow
......and yet, all it seems to take to bring it back together is a sassy tongued princess flanked by your friendly neighborhood Cujo (does that say something about me?)
Now that's photographic genius
Thanks for the laugh Dooce, and thank Chuckles for all the chuckles
71. Fran said:
Did I miss a mob mentality taking action on the internet? Was it an ugly site...I mean sight? Group dynamics can be scary at times.
72. Amber said:
Lekki,
Buffalo wings are just purely yummerific.
They are chicken wings, but with a nice spicy zing. mmm mmm. Why do they call them "buffalo wings"? Now, I'm not too sure, but I think that it has to do with their origin (Buffalo, NY)..where the wings are soooo good.
There is a link up there about the origin, but I haven't had a chance to look at it yet. Just about to make my way there.
Love in Christ,
Amber <><
P.S. Dooce you should really take a picture of the wings. Make us more hungry, why don't you? :)
73. Michael said:
There was an earthquake in Utah. You OK?
74. HoneyBee said:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2004-11-07-earthquake-coloutah_x.htm
They are, likely, perfectly fine. You, actually, probably knew about it before they did. An eathquake with a magnitutde 4.1 is not that strong (I lived in So Cal during many quakes, most a lot stronger and closer to me than this -I think- was to them.) The quake was in the south east corner of Utah, they are in the north/central part of the state. http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/maps/utah_map.html (If memory serves, they are in or around Salt Lake. Forgive me if I am wrong.)
They probably didn't feel a thing.
I REALLY hope I'm right...
Utah has earthquakes! I hate earthquakes! They are why I left So Cal. he Earth just Is Not supposed to move if my feet are on it!
75. faith said:
its obviously a photo of Chuck....with accessory princess
76. DeAnn said:
I am just getting all caught up and I LOVE the family picture and love love love George's "interesting" post!! MORE GEORGE!!
(Kidding, Heather. I still adore you.)
And also, you use duct tape to shut up a baby? That is SUCH a good idea. And here I'd always tried stuffing their mouths with cotton balls. Thanks for the tip!!
(Also, I'm kidding.)
77. lily said:
yesterday picture was soo cute! today's as well, but oh there was SO much cuteness posted yesterday :)
78. stacy said:
What's all this talk about stolen stuff from Dooce's website? huh? Am I missing something?
79. annakay said:
that story totally shows how much you love him. because you could have put TWO extra wings on the tray and made it even-steven.
