MMO players mostly, and it's not a lack of access it's just that they can't afford to take a 3 minute break from grinding/raiding to use a bathroom.

The same people that have to hide from their parents because they fear social interaction so much that they would rather poo poo in a cardboard container that they keep in their room than risk talking to their parents.

I mean that was what bothered me the mostabout that. He had a regular "poo poo carton", that he kept warm and ready in his room.

Of course none of it happened though, so I can sleep another night sure in the knowledge that poo poo cartons are just the figment of someones imagination.

They probably weren't up early, but rather up late, and they didn't want their parents to know that they'd been up all night pooping in boxes and playing mmos.

Girls are really blatant about staring and usually start giggling. I'm not complaining when its a cute girl. In fact im thinking about going commando in some grey sweat pants to give them real show.

It's the Battle of the Buldge for me every day in Hong Kong.

Also for the cake story on the last page, my friends got me a cake with "happy birthday" written on it in Yiddish. Cake decorators really don't care and will just copy the characters. If a Chinese lady can write Yiddish with icing, it stands to reason an American can handle Korean, which has arguably simpler characters to write.

Friday lunch story:
Stopped in at my favorite Middle Eastern/Mediterranean style bakery for a shawarma, and there was a very loud woman talking on the phone to a friend about the "quaint ethnic food" she was getting and complaining about how long it was taking. She was pushy, constantly asked for updates on her food, and was just a nuisance. I was order 19, and I waited maybe five minutes before one of the cooks called me to the window and said my order was ready, and he showed me the ticket to verify that we both had number 19s on our tickets.
The lady began to yell, "I think that's my sandwich!" at me, and the lady behind the counter told her, "your order is still cooking." The cook and the cashier both looked at me and wished me a good day with wide smiles; the lady was several numbers ahead of me and looked outraged. Glad I chose to wear my bright pink lipstick today, I smiled at her and passed by with a high pitched Dolores Umbridge laugh. The look on her face made my day. Be nice to people, and sometimes, you get unexpected perks.

That was hilarious and I'm glad he got the phrase "fug of jazz cigarettes" in there. This article was funny enough to make me want to read the one it is sort of based on again but the author took it down. Here's a recap but the author of this article just sums up the blog and leaves out a lot of the embellishments that are hallmarks of stdh. Still, the paragraph that's there is pretty funny.

Weird request, but does anyone remember/have a copy/some link to an internet post (possibly from TVTropes? In one of the "Troper Tales sections?) I read about here a few years ago:

If I remember it right, the guy was trying to be one of those "citizen superhero" types, and described sewing some weights into gloves, like ball bearings or something, to better fight crime. He then said he went patrolling, or something, (possibly in/near a cemetery?) and claimed a wolf ran at him to attack, but he punched it in the face with his new gloves, and that it wouldn't be bothering anyone anymore.

Here's a recap but the author of this article just sums up the blog and leaves out a lot of the embellishments that are hallmarks of stdh. Still, the paragraph that's there is pretty funny.

Soon enough, we were done with our shop and were making our way toward the front. As we passed through the produce section, two teenage girls began giggling and one of them asked, "Is that a boy or a girl?" I smiled and said, "He's a boy." I looked on at him adoringly as they continued to giggle.

Out of nowhere a big booming voice rang out. "THAT'S a BOY?!" The man was overly large with a bushy beard and a camouflage shirt with the arms cut off. He had tattered shorts and lace-up work boots with no laces. I could smell the fug of cigarette smoke surrounding him, and there was a definite pong of beer on him.

"Yes," I said simply, still smiling.

With no notice, the man stepped forward, grabbed the headband off of Dexter's head and threw it to the bottom of our shopping cart. He then cuffed Dexter around the side of his head (not hard, but that is not the point) and said with a big laugh, "You'll thank me later, little man!"

At the same time as I stepped forward, Dexter grabbed his head where the man had smacked him and threw his other hand forward, stomping his foot and shouting, "NO!" I got between my son and this man and said very firmly, "If you touch my son again, I will cut your drat hands off."

The guy snarled at me, looked at Dexter with disgust and said, "Your son is a f*cking fa***t." He then started sauntering out, but not before he threw over his shoulder, "He'll get shot for it one day."

I stood there, shaking, fists clenched, waiting for the man to disappear out the door, and then I fell apart. I was shaking so hard, holding back tears and comforting Dexter.

Not a single person said or did anything. There were several people who had witnessed the encounter, but not one of them came over to offer support or console me or my son.

I was there with a 2-year-old and a 5-month-old baby, and my kid had been verbally and physically assaulted by a man. And no one did a thing.

I made my way to the front, still in shock, and I paid for my items and left. I did not report it to the management nor to the authorities, though I am considering doing both. But as I live in a tourist area, I doubt there is anything I can do to find the man -- he could be anyone from anywhere.

I also wanted to say thank you to everyone (and there were a LOT of you) who advised me to contact WalMart for the CCTV footage and the police to press charges.

I most likely won’t be doing that. I would like to explain why.

When it happened, I wanted to get out of there as quickly as I could. I was in a bit of shock, to be honest, and the fact that no one else came up to offer any support made me wonder if I’d overreacted.

The entire thing happened in less than a minute. It was over as quickly as it started, and no one was harmed. My shock at what the man said was worse than my upset about him touching my kid.

The truth is that (and I tried to make this clear in the blog post) he did not hurt my son. He cuffed him like you would pat a dog on the head. It was not violent. It was not acceptable, but it was not violent.

My two days of thinking on the whole thing has made me believe that the guy saw a woman with two little boys on her own, one of the boys wearing a girly headband, and he thought he was doing me a favor by teaching my boy to be more manly.

He may have thought I was a single mom in need of a strong male role model. And when he touched my son, I immediately stepped in to threaten him. His reaction was over the top and completely terrible, but we have all said things in the heat of the moment that we are not proud of. The fact he seemed to have been drinking may have exacerbated his reaction.

There's a version on Facebook that has the beginning of the story.

quote:

This is Dexter. He is 2 years old. He loves to be Batman and Superman and Spiderman. He's a real boys' boy. He pretends he is flying, and he captures the baddies who threaten us.He is a fabulous big brother. He was a later bloomer vocabulary-wise. He used to be terribly shy but has recently begun to come out of his shell. He loves new people and enjoys greeting them with a big "HI!" when he meets them.His favorite color is pink. He loves Dora the Explorer. He has been known to wear my skirt as a dress, and he delights in cuddling with his mama.Last night, I took my two boys out to pick up a couple of things from Walmart. Mark had to catch up on some work, so I ventured out on my own, which is something I don't do very often. It takes a lot of work to get the kids ready, get them in and out of the car, find a shopping cart, keep them happy while I shop and get them home in one piece. You parents will understand this.

After struggling to get him dressed and get his shoes on, I had to pry an overlarge teddy bear out of Dexter's arms, as he was set on taking him with us. This brought on tears and tantrums, which I somehow managed to calm very quickly. But when I attempted to remove my discarded lace flower headband from his head (which he'd been wearing all day), I saw him getting ready to fight, so I left him to it. Who was he hurting?

We got to the store, and amazingly I managed to get him to sit in the shopping cart with no issues. The fact that he was wearing a cute girly headband made him feel good, and he was charming all the old ladies by waving like a little pageant prince. I snapped his photo after two old birds came up to tell me just how adorable he was

Yeah that pink headband incident at Wal-Mart was written by Kathleen Carpenter aka "Katie Vyktoriah" and became a bit of a sensation last year.

Despite earning major mom-blog-cred, her story was quickly pulled apart and questioned. Hoping to spin back some sympathy she threatened suicide and got put under psyche evaluation.

She was taking the STDH cake with claims on her blog that included...

quote:

Having survived 3 failed kidnapping attempts and 1 successful one; claiming to be a stewardess for an airline and quitting just weeks before the flight crashed twice in three months; that she was “meant to be in NYC on 9/11, but I cancelled last minute”; that she missed catching a train that later crashed.

Other claims include suffering from Celiac disease, diabetes, lactose intolerance, BPD, manic depression, ADHD, and apparently her breasts are so spectacular they cause bar fights.

No doubt somewhere in all that her original husband left her and laid the tracks for the crazy train to ride on. She's remarried (in Vegas) and is now back on facebook, again posting clickbait about pregnancies and other handy dandy lists, plus carefully commenting about the KFC mauling incident.

There was another mommy blogger who said she once did the same to a stray piece of her child's poo poo when changing. I'm sure there are tons more of mothers smitten to madness.

Lest we forget classics like Juliana Wetmore (still alive and a hit with the fundies) and "Your poison womb is making heaven crowded".

On a darker note, recently there's been Lacey Spears, who had a past of clinically lying about all sorts of past-misdeeds, culminating in a seriously nuts rabbit hole of lies that starts off with an unsettling coveting of someone's kid she was being a nanny to then running off after getting pregnant with the guy next door and beginning her own "tragic mom" story that culminates in her kid dying from a sodium overdose.

There's a five part expose on just what the hell was going on.
