Now I am confused. Is that the DO picture or the DON’T picture?

I dunno what the correct response _is_ to being attacked by a horde of flying babies while naked. Other than “don’t be in that situation”.

Anyway, parents of the horde should be ashamed of themselves. They have evidently quite failed to teach their super-baby offspring to be respectful of naked men’s rights.

It means nothing, other than being an attempt to poke fun (read: assasinate character) in a very infantile fashion. And I apologize for it. Still, it made me smile at the time, and really, that’s the important part, no? (j/k)

For the record: No, I don’t actually believe that Frylock is gay, and if he was I would have no problem with it. Now, if he was gay and on the swishy side, I _would_ want to be around him more, as (and I have no rationale for this other than I just always have) I find “sissies” eminently entertaining and fascinating. Like I said, I don’t know why. I just do, and I always have.

Well, aim higher next time. Part of this place’s charm is the active competition to be insulting and witty, and “fag!” is Triassic, at best.

You can use the word “not” as much as you want to. But your words don’t match your behavior in this thread. I think this ground has been covered to death. You have some “mysterious” reason why it’s okay for a kid to jump on a couch. We all think your a db parent who has no reason for it and is just trolling. So give it a rest and quit hijacking my thread. I’m sick of reading about how you have no intention of telling us this (non-existent) reason of yours. I would rather look at pictures of naked men being attacked by babies, which at least is funny, if not interesting.

Can we please just ignore all of **Frylock** ’s posts in this thread going forward? Please? Everyone? Just pretend they don’t exist. Read them if you must, but skip right past and don’t respond. Stop engaging and he’ll go the hell away.

But there’s plenty of room for flying babies smothered in tabasco sauce attacking naked men!

You’re right, of course. I was attempting a bit of ironic knuckle draggery, failed on the former, and only delivered the latter. Hopefully it won’t happen again.

I hate to say it, and I hope if I were in that situation I would have restrained myself, but I would have probably beat the guy’s ass after a warning. The OP did nothing wrong. The parents should be made sterile so they can’t bring another idiot with their genes into the world.

Well, I wouldn’t have grabbed a kid unless there were a reason (danger to the kid, etc) but man…

I have to tell you…as a person with no kids…you may not realize how fucking annoying YOUR kids are. Honestly…so when people let their obnoxious brats run rampant in a place they shouldn’t the first thing I think is “This kid has shitty parents.”.

Assuming you haven’t read the rest of the thread yet, I’ll not say anything to the substance of this post.

I feel compelled, though, to be that annoying parent who claims, with no way of giving evidence, that people fairly regularly, spontaneously mention how well behaved and polite their kids are. Just, you know, for the record.

You know, you say “Just read the thread” or “you’re not reading what I said correctly” more than any other 10 posters.

Has it occurred to you that something is grotesquely wrong with your communication skills if you have to say this in dozens of threads to multiple posters?

Well, there are in fact a surprising number of posters who don’t read threads carefully.

For example, I’m mystified why you felt the need to reopen a five-year-old thread to pose this non sequitur question, but maybe if I read the thread more carefully I’d figure it out.

ETA: Whoa, lot of simultaneous noticing happening here. 🙂
