    Is seven inches a possible baby length? Because maybe the person typing up that Prodigy-grade announcement just left out a backslash. If so, this would be a seven pound, seven ounce, seven inch child of our sweet lord. Or, the ounce/inch is what, a measurement of pressure? Either way, I'm really bothered by the lion with the disembodied tail that graces the lower left corner.

    @awhatsname: A fetus is about 7 inches long at the end of the fourth month of pregnancy. The average length of a newborn baby is 20 inches. I honestly believe anything at all is possible with this Alaska crew.

    Well I was called into work at 3am on New Years day by the fire department. My business was on fire and people were being plucked off the roof of the building..............

    Everyone was saved my insurance company was not AIG so I'm sort of able to deal with it, at least that's what I keep telling myself over and over.

    Oh, Nick is in a lot of trouble because of his knowingly falsely classifying employees. Gabriel will share his cell if he doesn't come clean soon. Noah thinks he's safe for jumping ship in time but, but, sorry ass, every payment is traceable to you. Who wants to make a deal first? Because you are all guilty of tax fraud.


    Who wants to step up? Oh? No one? Then we'll see you when we see you. You arrogant fucking shits.

    What on earth is with that family and those names? What is it about your thinking that makes you conclude naming a child Tripp is a good idea?!! Just goes to show that you can't misunderestimate the value of a good edumacation.

    Bear repellent.

    Suet. (I don't know why)

    Steel-jaw traps in "Critter" and "Humvee" sizes.

    Cash (down payment on the doublewide; bail for the "other" grammy)

    Aerosol cheese.

    Malt liquor.


    any other ideas, Gawkers?
