Did I ever mention that one of my biggest fears is crap in the ocean that I can’t see and is enormous? Like whales, sharks, SUPAH SQUIDS and many more.
I, for one, think that killer jellyfish and cone shells are scarier. If you get eaten by a shark, at least you died awesomely. If you’re stung by a brainless invertebrate, that’s just an embarrassing end.
Are you sure? I do know there are tourists. I also know that the general populace spends quite a bit of time in the area. If you knew the area, you’d know that most people within a 50 mile radius visit Cannery Row at least once a year.
*squeezes*
It’s almost always quiet here after all the layoffs. I used to have people all around me, now I’m the only person in my area.
Weekend was very nice, thanks! Got out for a hike on Cape Ann. You?
The only person left in your area?!? Creepy. Do you have your resume ready to go if needed?
.
Weekend was busy. It was my daughter’s 4th birthday on Saturday, so we had a party for her at the house. About 30 people showed up! I’m glad we have 13 acres so we had parking for all of them.
.
Sunday was calm. I picked strawberries on Monday.
Happy belated birthday! That must have been more chaotic than the LA riots. I can see why you took it easy on Sunday!
Strawberries…wow. Way too early up here. But we do have fiddleheads!! *one of my fave veggies*
…Although an even better description is to say it looks like a green…. fiddlehead!
(A further refinement in the description [Moomin, et al] is to say it looks like a monster fiddlehead popping out of the road to swallow a midget.)
What do they taste like? I wiki’ed it, but I didn’t see much about the taste. I do love the fiddlehead comment… *didn’t have that much time to review the website sadly*
I would call them a little like asparagus, but milder than asparagus. A little element of green beans too. It’s hard to describe. I never thought of mushrooms, actually, that’s an interesting take.
Absolutely. If I have to spray that kid off the bottom of my jeep I’m, well I’m just gonna be pissed. Do you know how hard it is to get all the little kid pieces out of my undercarriage? I wasn’t happy last time…..
It’s like, “seriously, weren’t you planning on making another one anyways? Quit your bitching, clean your kid outta my grill, and go get to it. The planet won’t populate itself!”
Imagine if Madonna had been around! You know that’s how she’s still alive after 400 years right? Eating the babies she sacrifices to the great pumpkin!!
And anyone getting tips on anything from Angeline Jolie needs to be shot, so you shoot them, then the cops are all over you, and the paper gets wind of it, suddenly you’re facing 20 to life, and you realize “Hey, that’s the last time I do something nice for someone.”
Great! So here’s what I’ve accomplished today:
1) Reminded that giant and colossal squid lurk in the water if I go swimming.
2) Made to feel guilty for joking about dead babies.
3) Got a John Denver earworm.
We go dancing nightly in the attic
While the moon is rising in the sky.
If I’m too rough, tell me,
I’m so scared your little head will come off in my hands.
There there.
Colossal squid swim extra deep, so no worries. Unless you wear striped shorts, of course. Or anything red. Or splash around a lot. No worries.
.
“Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry!”
Here’s my reply to your *squeeze* up there ^ Velvet – and one for Brewski, too – *SQUEEZE*!
I’m grateful for the rainy days – I’ve finally got all my flowers in the ground, and replaced the ones that were killed off in recent frost.
*group squeeze*
I was walking in Harvard’s Arnold Arboretum when a massive thundercell hit. Lightning, hail, downpours, you name it, and no shelter nearby. Afterwards, I could have dried off by jumping in a swimming pool.
No, my computer isn’t that concerned with my safety. It was built before viruses were invented, sort of a proto-cyber soup in which random circuits and processors collided.
It was a Holiday and I got to stay home with the kiddies! Yay!
I was so busy watching illegally downloaded new feature films from the interwebs that I had nearly forgotten to eat!
Thank goodness small children cry when they get really really hungry and nearly burn themselves whilst trying to cook!
So I got up. After putting out the macaroni flames and getting the acrid smoke out of the house I made everyone yummy grilled cheese crackers, since I was out of bread, and the chocolate syrup just covered the spoiled milk taste! Only the dog threw up, but that was because, I think, of the PlayDoh she ate.
When my wife came home after a grueling 13 hour shift, she wouldn’t let me look at FailBlog. “This place looks like a crack house!” she kept screaming until I finally raked the den floor and loaded the dishwasher 117% full!
I never did get back to the computer after that because blue paint is very hard to wash out of a white dog’s fur and Red Sharpies really do look cool when a 7 year old traces over all the veins in her arm, but probably nothing but a Brillo Pad or time will remove it!
Well, it’s great to have been missed and all, but a day off comes so rarely!
B2th’s Practical Joke #231 – Tie a baby carrier to the top of your car/truck/suv. This is sure to excite your fellow motorist. Preferably, the carrier should be sans-child, but that is completely optional.
My favorite? Take a bunch of wrapped sticks of butter and paint over the labels. Then strap them around yourself, with electrical wires connecting each one. Then connect an R/C car’s remote to it and run around screaming in Arabic, or something close to Arabic. You’ll be laughing your ass off while you’re being tortured in Gitmo.
I positively hate those little fiends. If you think Stewie Griffin is an evil baby, you’ve never met one of those. I decided mine should be named Demonica.
True story: A few years ago, Starbucks paid a taxi company to attach coffee cups to the top of some taxis in Boston, but decided to stop the ad campaign when too many people almost caused accidents trying to get the attention of the cab drivers.
How is this different from any other day driving in Boston? It’s not a normal day without a few good accidents. Boston driver’s motto: “Death before yielding”.
Classic! And pretty accurate.
The one that took me a while to get used to is left turns. People turning left routinely pull out in front of oncoming traffic. Drivers expect this, unless they’re from out of town. So when going straight though a green light, you have to carefully watch for turning traffic.
So you’ve been here!! Boston is the origin of the phrase “You can’t get there from here.” I once tried to drive from Chinatown to the Boston Garden (home of the Celtics), before I had a GPS. Very close, pretty much walking distance. After over half an hour of frustration, one-ways, do-not-enters, left-turn-onlys, closed streets, construction detours, etc, I arrived at my destination. To find that there was no parking anywhere. I finally gave up and went home.
When I worked in downtown Hartford, CT, I would walk around at lunchtime and cars would stop and ask me how to get to somewhere-or-other. Often I could point to what they were looking for, but would have to admit I couldn’t really tell them how to drive there from where we were standing.
Are we sure that’s even her baby? I think that car down the street just gave her the gift of a random baby to go with her mini van. She just hasn’t seen her present yet.
And are we sure we even exist? What if this is all some computer program, like in The Matrix? What if we’re unknowingly part of a reality show, like in The Truman Show? What if we’re dead and don’t know it, like in The Sixth Sense? What if we could find some existential crisis that hasn’t been made into a movie?
Ingest a minute, would you please dim sum of these lights, Aja? I’m thinking it will create an ambience more in keeping with the parent’s brain wattage, up there in the photo.
Um, you people who are like “haha dead babies” are sick. Yes I understand you are kidding (hopefully) but really that’s not funny. Most definitely a fail, but not funny. Yeah, babies getting hit by a car is freaking hilarious. Douchebags.
I’ll be wearing 6 polos from abercrombie, all different colors of pink, with all the collars popped. I won’t forget the really bad fake tan, or the Jager either. Oh, and I’ll make a goofy head back/trying to kiss the camera face.
That’s because of the Jager. Some girls who looks like someone put her in a toaster oven is wearing them, back at the really trashy club I just came from.
You mean the girls that I saw this weekend at a wedding? The ones wearing, to a formal Catholic wedding, short Bright Flower Print sun dresses exposing their huge thighs and Bright Green flip flops? The ones holding 4-5 Hors D’Ouevres in their hand without a napkin? YEAH? Ok they’ll be in the parade too!
No, to make it even better, one’s roots were 4″ long as she’s letting her bleached blonde grow out and the cuts look like they were done by beauty school dropouts. Their hair was cut in that stoopid Victoria Beckham style where the back is really short and the hair in the front is long and goes to a point by the jawline. This makes their pudgy faces even rounder looking.
Sorry I can’t read your blog, but anyone who posts the video of Aretha in the Blues Brothers movie gets big (colossal, giant, … help me out FSA) points from me.
Thank you all for your effort! I realize on re-reading my post, It sounds like I had issued a request. I was actually complimenting Jean-Philippe for posting this video in his blog (in his name clickie). Now that it’s here, I suggest it to everyone for eradicating earworms.
Yeah, if I can’t post a [gosh-darn] quote from American Werewolf in London without it being censored, then the world has gone to [heck] in a handbasket.
The mod system [having sexual relations] [inhales] [spherical bouncing toys], but censoring your own quotes creatively is [having sexual relations] [evil donkey].
You know that anyone who would have done anything to assist the baby would have been chewed out with several vulgarities and told to mind your own business, right?
Hmmmmm. You raise a valid point… Then again, you’re assuming a nurture rather than nature reason for the dumb-ass-bitchery. Perhaps if raised by a parent with an IQ higher than their shoe size, the kid might just come out alright.
We don’t know that they were just walking by with a camera, and the car had already passed. Nor do we know what happened after the picture was taken. Besides, that would totally ruin what little fun we have, if people prevented fails.
It’s a one way street. So the child will see the car coming and say, “Mother, please move me before I become one with an SUV all weather tire.” The mother will then say, “You shouldn’t be playing in the street. Bad baby!”
All I can remember of Cannery Row was the whores and the scientific specimens… so is this is a social comment that all babies on Cannery Row either become whores or specimens?
except that no matter what as soon as a post a comment it will be last indefinitely meaning that neither of us can have a last comment but at the same time always have a last comment, so in reality everyone will always have a last comment, which is why its better than a first
More like parenting WIN, I’d say. Have you SEEN just how many squalling, snot-oozing, diaper-shitting little genetic rejects are running around the world today?
oh my! that´s monterrey, california! i think i parked just about there. now my memory of this road will forever be tainted by this photo. stupid woman!
I am somewhat scared….that woman looks like my younger sister…..who happens to live in Seaside which is a city adjacent to that area. Even more frightening is the fact that little one looks like my niece. I think I need to talk to my sister about that lol
Now what am I forgetting here…

Okay, NOW who broke the blog?

GIANT SQUID!
*BLORK!*
There! :3
Absolutely none.
Look up at Chaz. Giant squid.
Mmm, all-you-can-eat calamari!
Actually, colossal squid. Giant squid is named
Architeuthis Dux.
Ahh this is true. But now I DO really want calamari! Mmmmm…
If you made a calimari ring out of a colossal squid, it’d be the size of a monster truck tire.
I’m taking you with me the next time I go to the movies. You can help me decipher the sizes at the concession stand.
*Mouth waters*
Huh, MRN? Me, or chaz?
Did I ever mention that one of my biggest fears is crap in the ocean that I can’t see and is enormous? Like whales, sharks, SUPAH SQUIDS and many more.
Like large aquatic organisms?
Lol Malicite, for a second I thought you meant giant invisible floating feces.
Just googled it. Damn you for making me see that.
@ you, FSA, for being able to distinguish your squid sizes so expertly.
You can add that to the list Chaz. I’ll allow it.
You’re welcome. My clicky is a link to wikipedia about colossal squid.
That’s some pretty scary shit…
You people are silly, being afraid of squids. :3
I, for one, think that killer jellyfish and cone shells are scarier. If you get eaten by a shark, at least you died awesomely. If you’re stung by a brainless invertebrate, that’s just an embarrassing end.
Totally true. They’re just like blobs almost.
I eat supah squids for breakfast.
And don’t step on stingrays. Case in point: Steve Irwin aka the Crocodile Hunter.
Yes. But stingrays are pretty cool to keep as pets.
I like invisible squid, they’re excellent.
They provide invisible ink for us!
My printer has invisible ink

Oh yeah? Well, why don’t you

The Cannery Row Company?
This is why you never heard anything about John Steinbeck’s kid?
Exactly!
Heh, I didn’t notice that till you pointed it out.
So this is how the mothers treat their kids in Monterey…
Some do, that’s for sure. I’ve seen some really dumb mothers in that area.
ok retard that is a tourist. if you have ever been to the area you would know that cannery row is full of tourists
Are you sure? I do know there are tourists. I also know that the general populace spends quite a bit of time in the area. If you knew the area, you’d know that most people within a 50 mile radius visit Cannery Row at least once a year.
The world is going to fail in a handbasket.

Happy belated birthday! That must have been more chaotic than the LA riots. I can see why you took it easy on Sunday!
Strawberries…wow. Way too early up here. But we do have fiddleheads!! *one of my fave veggies*
What’s a fiddlehead?
A fern, but so tightly coiled up it looks like a coiled asparagus, and tastes a bit like asparagus and mushrooms. A New England sign of spring.
…Although an even better description is to say it looks like a green…. fiddlehead!
(A further refinement in the description [Moomin, et al] is to say it looks like a monster fiddlehead popping out of the road to swallow a midget.)
What do they taste like? I wiki’ed it, but I didn’t see much about the taste. I do love the fiddlehead comment… *didn’t have that much time to review the website sadly*
I would call them a little like asparagus, but milder than asparagus. A little element of green beans too. It’s hard to describe. I never thought of mushrooms, actually, that’s an interesting take.
Tastes like a cross among spinach, asparagus and mushrooms -a little bitter, like a bitter lettuce.
Hopefully someone will come along soon and handle the situation.
I’m not sure if they can grasp the concept.
I think they did, which is why the child is secure in the seat.
Hold on, I’ve almost got it.
That baby needs a quick pick-me-up.
*swoosh!*
Get a grip, you’re getting carried away!
*shows restraint*
What a strapping reply!
well thank you, little miss sunshine. you failure to please me never ceases to humor me.
next time, she should use a triangle reflector so motorist will know that they are about to hit a baby.
It should be a pink triangle reflector, cuz it’s a baby girl.
Maybe they had a spare.

This is adurable baby.
Dead kid on my tires make me angry.
Absolutely. If I have to spray that kid off the bottom of my jeep I’m, well I’m just gonna be pissed. Do you know how hard it is to get all the little kid pieces out of my undercarriage? I wasn’t happy last time…..
I know, and then the parents get all mad, you know, “ooh, you ran over our son”.
It’s like, “seriously, weren’t you planning on making another one anyways? Quit your bitching, clean your kid outta my grill, and go get to it. The planet won’t populate itself!”
And when you offer to replace it, they take advantage of you and ask for a taller one.
Then they get adoptiong tips from angelina jolie.
Imagine if Madonna had been around! You know that’s how she’s still alive after 400 years right? Eating the babies she sacrifices to the great pumpkin!!
And anyone getting tips on anything from Angeline Jolie needs to be shot, so you shoot them, then the cops are all over you, and the paper gets wind of it, suddenly you’re facing 20 to life, and you realize “Hey, that’s the last time I do something nice for someone.”

Great! So here’s what I’ve accomplished today:

2) Made to feel guilty for joking about dead babies.
3) Got a John Denver earworm.

True story: A few years ago, Starbucks paid a taxi company to attach coffee cups to the top of some taxis in Boston, but decided to stop the ad campaign when too many people almost caused accidents trying to get the attention of the cab drivers.
How is this different from any other day driving in Boston? It’s not a normal day without a few good accidents. Boston driver’s motto: “Death before yielding”.
Let’s see if this link posts (It’s safe, but that means nothing.)
Basic rules for driving in Boston (click)
Classic! And pretty accurate.
The one that took me a while to get used to is left turns. People turning left routinely pull out in front of oncoming traffic. Drivers expect this, unless they’re from out of town. So when going straight though a green light, you have to carefully watch for turning traffic.
Fortunately, you can seldom go straight through an intersection in Boston.
So you’ve been here!! Boston is the origin of the phrase “You can’t get there from here.” I once tried to drive from Chinatown to the Boston Garden (home of the Celtics), before I had a GPS. Very close, pretty much walking distance. After over half an hour of frustration, one-ways, do-not-enters, left-turn-onlys, closed streets, construction detours, etc, I arrived at my destination. To find that there was no parking anywhere. I finally gave up and went home.
When I worked in downtown Hartford, CT, I would walk around at lunchtime and cars would stop and ask me how to get to somewhere-or-other. Often I could point to what they were looking for, but would have to admit I couldn’t really tell them how to drive there from where we were standing.
Dumb ass.
Thank you, Walter.
Watch out he has gas!
On the plus side, he can get rid of that insipid “Baby on Board” suction cup-hanger thingie.
Those things are kick ass to put in awkward locations…
Now how do we get rid of his suction-cup Garfield?
About two and a half pounds of C-4 ought to do the trick.

We gather today to celebrate the life of Chaz Festerbottom…whose body now lies at peace in this ziploc bag.
*wipes up remains with ShamWow*
Dang you. Why did you have to leave us Chaz. You ddin’t even get to spend your $20 this month on paper towels!!!!
*put’s chaz back together with help from all the king’s horses and all the king’s men*
Man those guys have really shaped up. In the old days they couldn’t put anything back together again…
They just need direction, they’re not the brightest.
Probably union labor.
that is a stupid parent
ha.
You have to have a license to buy a gun or drive a car but the’ll give any idiot a child.
They should have a parenting license.
Yeah, guns and cars are nowhere near as dangerous as the combined genomes of two idiots.
There’s no such thing as a bloody kid license.
Yes. If I want to get a bloody child, I’m free to do so. And this pic shows an excellent was to have a bloody child.
Dammit, way, not was! I’m really having a typo-filled day.
The morning-after pill is less messy.
Easier too clean off your car.
Comment win!
Are we sure that’s even her baby? I think that car down the street just gave her the gift of a random baby to go with her mini van. She just hasn’t seen her present yet.
And are we sure we even exist? What if this is all some computer program, like in The Matrix? What if we’re unknowingly part of a reality show, like in The Truman Show? What if we’re dead and don’t know it, like in The Sixth Sense? What if we could find some existential crisis that hasn’t been made into a movie?
I fail, therefore I am.
No victo ergo sum?
Evict the possum?
Contradict the blossom?
Ingest the Dim Sum?
Ingest a minute, would you please dim sum of these lights, Aja? I’m thinking it will create an ambience more in keeping with the parent’s brain wattage, up there in the photo.
Digest the wisdom?
Nobody puts the baby in the corner (of that cross on the road..)
Um, you people who are like “haha dead babies” are sick. Yes I understand you are kidding (hopefully) but really that’s not funny. Most definitely a fail, but not funny. Yeah, babies getting hit by a car is freaking hilarious. Douchebags.
We revel in our douchebag-ness. We’re trying to organize a Douche Pride Parade, in fact.
I’ll have to get my hair frosted and grow a chinstrap beard.
I’ll be wearing 6 polos from abercrombie, all different colors of pink, with all the collars popped. I won’t forget the really bad fake tan, or the Jager either. Oh, and I’ll make a goofy head back/trying to kiss the camera face.
Everyone will be talking on cell phones while they drive the floats.
*Points finger at everyone, because you know you do it, too*
No, they’ll be texting and brushing their hair while driving with their knees.
You forgot the giant $12 aviators and the white hat with a golf company’s logo.
That’s because of the Jager. Some girls who looks like someone put her in a toaster oven is wearing them, back at the really trashy club I just came from.
You mean the girls that I saw this weekend at a wedding? The ones wearing, to a formal Catholic wedding, short Bright Flower Print sun dresses exposing their huge thighs and Bright Green flip flops? The ones holding 4-5 Hors D’Ouevres in their hand without a napkin? YEAH? Ok they’ll be in the parade too!
Did they have mullets? Because if they did they definitely belong in the parade.
No, to make it even better, one’s roots were 4″ long as she’s letting her bleached blonde grow out and the cuts look like they were done by beauty school dropouts. Their hair was cut in that stoopid Victoria Beckham style where the back is really short and the hair in the front is long and goes to a point by the jawline. This makes their pudgy faces even rounder looking.
You’re right, that’s worse than mullets. I bow to your wisdom.
*bows to SB*
*whisper*
Watch out for the ET finger!
*whisper*
I thought it only worked on Elliott.
Don’t forget to wear 200$ sunglasses on the TOP OF YOUR HEAD to complete the douchebag appearance!
^^ Was a reply to “Jimbo is Bored”, comments section screwed up bigtime
Be thankful we stay off the EpiCute site.
What’s the fail? My mom did that to me at least once a week when I was a baby
Sorry I can’t read your blog, but anyone who posts the video of Aretha in the Blues Brothers movie gets big (colossal, giant, … help me out FSA) points from me.
We’re on a mission from God.
We’re getting the band back together.
Hey MRN! This was the closest I could find…
Thank you all for your effort! I realize on re-reading my post, It sounds like I had issued a request. I was actually complimenting Jean-Philippe for posting this video in his blog (in his name clickie). Now that it’s here, I suggest it to everyone for eradicating earworms.
Oh oh oh! I’ll be the f—- to say it!

That baby is photoshopped.
She was lifted out of another picture?
Aye, they raised her image and integrated it on this normal city street.
I can tell from the pixels and from abandoning many babies in my day.
The arrow has no shadow!
Accactly. I’m sure I left that baby behind the hospital in Lincoln Nebraska.
Omaha. Definitely Omaha. It’s THE vacation spot for parents who are going to abandon their babies. Lincoln is SO last year.
As a fitting tribute to parents everywhere, note in the URL that this is parenting-fail-10.
The Durango’s got my baby!
Maybe the Dingo ate your baby?
Are we explaining them now? :p
Sorry – got carried away (no pun intended).
2 points.
Wtf…awaiting moderation…here we go again.
Me too! I made a very un-PC comment, I don’t think it likes ni**er!
x-x
Queen Elizabeth is a man! Prince Charles is a [homo]! F*ck! Sh*t! C*nt!
Yeah, that kind of thing! I hate PC.
Yeah, if I can’t post a [gosh-darn] quote from American Werewolf in London without it being censored, then the world has gone to [heck] in a handbasket.
My comment was 100% clean. Why it is getting moderated? I do not know.
Perhaps a part of one of your words contained a profanity such as c*ckrel or vag*na
The mod system [having sexual relations] [inhales] [spherical bouncing toys], but censoring your own quotes creatively is [having sexual relations] [evil donkey].
*thinks very hard* *smoke issues from cute bunny ears* ok…ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I posted one about Madonna devouring babies, and I’m still waiting on it.

Tee hee.
Ummmmm, anyone notice the blaringly obvious “Bystander grabbing camera rather than smacking the dumb bitch and saving the baby” fail?
You know that anyone who would have done anything to assist the baby would have been chewed out with several vulgarities and told to mind your own business, right?
It’s a free country. I can commit infanticide if I [hydroelectric plant] well please.
Sadly, yes. You’re right. Hence the smacking the dumb bitch coming first.
Assault! I’m gonna sue your ass!
I dunno, with those genes, maybe (s)he’s doing the world a favour.
Hmmmmm. You raise a valid point… Then again, you’re assuming a nurture rather than nature reason for the dumb-ass-bitchery. Perhaps if raised by a parent with an IQ higher than their shoe size, the kid might just come out alright.
That’s true, but perhaps the genetic material is insufficient to make a working brain. Who knows. unless we track down the child…
We don’t know that they were just walking by with a camera, and the car had already passed. Nor do we know what happened after the picture was taken. Besides, that would totally ruin what little fun we have, if people prevented fails.
No, no, no…they were taking a pic of the
Cannery Row Company and the baby/car seat
just rolled out of the car and onto the road.
Sam? You feeling ok?
Just rather tell me to die or something! Speak troll to me!
You leave Sam alone! She’s been in rehab the last few weeks!
There is no amount of rehab to help Sam.
*Wonders if this Sam knows the sad history of the name or is wondering what went wrong.*
But we can rebuild! Mwahahaha!
Other than the obvious fail of the kid being in the middle of the street, the kid is also too big for that bucket carseat.
Also, you can clearly see that it’s a boy, and they have it in a pink jumper.
It’s also clear that the poor little guy soiled his diapers, and has a bad case of diaper rash! Call CPS!
You can’t call CPS unless it’s a frozen baby.
Don’t be an ass, you really can tell the child is too big, their head is over the shell of the carseat, look closely.
Please note, he was being a smart ass . . . which is far more acceptable than the dumb one you are acting like.
It looks like a monster head popped out the road to swallow a midget.
Where did you come up with that? And why is it that now, when I look at the picture, that’s all I see?
Now that’s also what I see when I look at Moomin’s avatar!
Nah, Moomin’s avatar is obviously Snoopy after fame went to his head and he got all bloated from years of chemical abuse and video games.
Moomin! You altered my perception of the photograph as well…nice…
It’s a one way street. So the child will see the car coming and say, “Mother, please move me before I become one with an SUV all weather tire.” The mother will then say, “You shouldn’t be playing in the street. Bad baby!”
i don’t even find this one remotely funny. that parent should be shot.
I standing beside you on this one with a rope for the parent ….Find a tree will ya.?
Shooting the parent. Now that’s entertainment!
Back to parenting school I guess.
I have definitely seen worse parents…

All I can remember of Cannery Row was the whores and the scientific specimens… so is this is a social comment that all babies on Cannery Row either become whores or specimens?
Stupid and blind!
It’s a one way street and guess which way she/he is facing?
maybe the cops will take him/her before the mother realizes anything…
it’s gonna be a huge fine … for a toddler that is …
This photo was stolen from my blog without permission.
OMG somebody call the blog police. Get a life, loser.
and why is somebody just taking a picture instead of being like LADY MOVE YOUR KID ITS GOING TO GET RUN OVERRRR!!
To not interupt the failing.
OH YEAH LAST COMMENT!
Fail.
hells no having a last is better than a first
You aren’t last though. Double fail.
lol you dont get it do you?
I see two comments below you that’s all I’m saying.
except that no matter what as soon as a post a comment it will be last indefinitely meaning that neither of us can have a last comment but at the same time always have a last comment, so in reality everyone will always have a last comment, which is why its better than a first
More like parenting WIN, I’d say. Have you SEEN just how many squalling, snot-oozing, diaper-shitting little genetic rejects are running around the world today?
Late abortion WIN.
I was wondering what it was I hit…

I remember this road lol, use to go to the Monterey Bay Aquarium around there.
Also, the baby’s too big for that carseat, so double fail.
I am somewhat scared….that woman looks like my younger sister…..who happens to live in Seaside which is a city adjacent to that area. Even more frightening is the fact that little one looks like my niece. I think I need to talk to my sister about that lol
