A long-lost section of the Pillow Book? Seems a little fragmentary.
Also gush over people's new tattoos.
Oh my god, what an awesome blog post, heebie!
3. When you're a highly pressurized deposit of fossil fuels beneath miles of rock and seawater and someone sticks a long metal tube into you.
Heebie, I am sure little Wizard Cocksucker will have a *lovely* time on the playground with such an *original* name.
I assume this means Hawaiian Punch's sibling will be named Ecto-Cooler.
When complimenting people on their wedding.
5 really takes me back to my college days.
I decided the Haircut Rule in maybe middle school, and have stuck to it firmly ever since. The Baby Name Rule was a logical corollary when it arose in the last ten years, or so.
If someone's making themselves vulnerable and your true opinion doesn't matter, gush.
Although if it's a girl, Blowjob Cheesecake would be *adorable.*
Now. And now. And now. And now. And so forth.
Well, Blowjob Cheesecake would certainly be a gusher.
15: Plus, you and Jammies could introduce yourselves as The Blowjob Cheesecake Factory.
So, are you naming the baby Bob, or Page?
oh, my.
You all think you're so rich, don't you.
I should mention that I passed the link to "Pregnant Women Are Smug" along to a friend who loved it, and said that it made their Monday.
Thank you.
You all think you're so rich
I find cheesecake too rich sometimes. The jury is out on blowjob cheesecake.
When your 89 year-old mother gets what's left of her hair cut and styled in honor of a visit. I did suggest a bright blue Mohawk for next time but also managed gush.
Also, when someone sends you a picture of their baby. Especially when said baby is uglier than a shaved cat.
22: I have some kind of really transparent resistance to gushing over baby photos so I live in fear of being shown them. I never think little Cheesecake looks just like daddy. Daddy, it always seems to me, looks like a much older person, is taller and better dressed without that WTF?! expression permanently upon his face. I can just never see it. It's probably a great thing to learn to fake in the interest of not being an asshole. For now I kind of open my eyes really wide, nod quickly to convey enthusiasm, and go "oh, uh huh! Yeah, wow!"
Developing a reaction to baby clothes helps. While the actual baby usually looks like Winston Churchill, cooing over the tiny frogs on his shoes works as well as commenting on the baby itself.

People always say this, but I think most newborns look more like Dwight Eisenhower.
WC Fields is another common option.
Non smoking Winston Churchill gets my vote.

It's not widely know that this is how Stephen Ambrose got all those interviews with Ike.

Don't know enough to have an opinion on the overall impact of the Skilling decision and honest services fraud but at least Don Siegelman's case will get a re-look.

23 made me laugh.
W/r/t baby photos, I only gush if they're actually cute, but I think then that's it's sort of unexpected from me. I don't hate babies!

The Flip-Pater saw Ike in person at pre-November 1963 distances but has never said this of an infant. His default comparison is Swee'Pea.

From a designated free speech zone?
23: "Aw! S/he is so sweet" is my code for "Goddamn, that poor baby is unfortunately ugly." My husband's cousin has a baby that looks like a potato with a tuft of hair. I call him sweet all the time.

Based on the last two criteria, it is clear you never seen a new father.
It's funny that people go on about how ugly babies are, given the EP story where babies look as cute as possible (big eyes, tiny noses, etc, etc) in order that the parents not just toss them in the bin as too much effort.
Older babies are EP-style cute. Newborns are squidgy blobs of protoplasm.
The cuteness of newborns inheres in their carry-them-in-your-forearm tinyness, I think.
Then again, I'm quite drunk so I may not be a reliable witness on this point at this moment.
I usually don't think of babies as being that cute, but then I read rfts's blog.
39: Yeah, that's some hard-core big-eyed baby crack. Decorated with adorable squids!
38: True -- that cradle-the-head-in-your-palm with the baby lying on your forearm hold is awfully endearing.
Then again, I'm quite drunk so I may not be a reliable witness on this point at this moment.
We'll be the judges of that. Tell us more! Do you have anything nearby to eat?

Right now pretty much everything is looking edible, which I take as a bad sign.
39: That is an exceptionally cute baby.
Bave wins the thread in 11.
Has Heebie announced a name? Did we have an Unfogged naming contest?
This was truly not intended to be a post about me.
Did we have an Unfogged naming contest?
Do you have a better idea than 6 and 13?
I bet you think this post is about you.
Well, now I do. But it was actually spawned from the baby shower over the weekend. Even more actually, it had been sitting on my scratch pad for a few days, and we looked like we needed a new post.
Pacing. I gush over proper pacing. Yeah.
