Baby Rule: Hookers aren’t good role models

Wanna see it?

The Parent Excuse

The Parent Excuse

A friend of mine is in a fantasy football league in which one owner drafted a defense in the sixth round.

When questioned as to why he made such an idiotic pick, said owner explained that he made the pick because his young son had been begging him to take the Steelers D all day and he couldn’t hold him off any longer.

Duds On Demand

Duds On Demand

A friend just sent me a link to plumgear.com

At first I assumed it was some Not-Safe-for-Work site, like the LemonParty link he sent me. (DO NOT CLICK THAT LINK.) (SERIOUSLY. DO NOT CLICK THAT LINK.)

My friend is wacky like that. And the URL is plumgear.com, for pete’s sake. What was I supposed to think? But it turns out it’s NOT about how to outfit your nether regions. It’s actually a brand new way to avoid one of the many expenses that comes with owning a rapidly growing child.
