She’d have been better off with an epidural and popping him out naturally. The pain and recovery after a c-section was much worse than a vaginal birth. She’s a moron. She probably just really didn’t want to stretch out the cooch any more, but couldn’t tell that to a reporter. ---

> [@](#): > > _From the article_ > Spears released her new fragrance, “Fantasy.” She says it was created with “all kinds of enchanting scents” including “lush red lychee” and even a **“hint of cupcakes,** white chocolate and jasmine.” First the kid, now this. That’s the last thing I need: To go on a date with a girl that smells like cupcakes, by a fragrance ‘designed’ by a tart. Tripler Oy vey. ---

How can you be sure that the smell is “cupcakes” exactly? “Hm, you smell like cake, but smaller.” ---

I feel sorry for the kid. If the baby had been a girl, I feel like I wouldn’t feel as sorry. I’m not sure why. ---

This just in: the baby is already grown and has left the hospital crying “Bow to me! I am the Horned One!” They think it’s just diaper rash, but I’m not so sure. ---

How funny is it going to be when she has a big, nasty C-section scar in her next video? ---

Ya know, having c-sections has pretty much permanently messed up my stomach muscles. If she’s thinking she’s going to do a few crunches and get those tight abs right back, she’s got a surprise coming… Well, maybe. I can hope. Probably her babies didn’t weight 10 pounds though. That might have had something to do with it. Still, vaginal birth is easier to recover from most of the time. ---

Preach it sister! 2 months and 15 days since my c-section and my wound hasn’t still healed completely. Avoiding pain. Meh! ---

> [@Happy Lendervedder](#): > > I actually used to write headlines for a living. My crowning jewel, which I thought would **never** actually make it to print: “City erection halted” in reference to a construction project put on hold. When called out on it by my editor, I challenged her to do better. She couldn’t, but I don’t think she really tried. I suspect she was somewhat intrigued by seeing the word ‘erection’ in 44-point font. Granted it was buried in the middle of the section, but it was always my goal to get the words “erection” or “erects” somewhere on the front page. Never happened tho. > > My second choice for this thread title: “Pop tart’s filling removed.” > > Happy My husband and I have discussed double entendres that we’ve seen here and there, and he (former college newspaper editor) maintains that there are NO coincidental phrases - more like, copy writers giggling together over what they’ve managed to get past the editor. Oh yeah, the OP - meh. Don’t know, don’t care about Britney and her kids. “Blanket” Jackson - that’s funny. Aren’t all of Michael’s kids named Prince Michael Jackson?\* \*Yes, I know, just the two boys are named Prince Michael Jackson, and the girl is named Paris Michael Jackson. That’s not crazy at all. ---
