Current baby status, 9/22: At the Millbrae Pancake House the baby threw her foam "#8" bath toy onto the floor. The waitress with the thick Jersey accent and wet hair had a slug-shaped bruise on her tricep area.

Current baby status, 9/23: The baby was enormously displeased with our a cappella bathtime rendition of "Particle Man."

This is quite a coincidence.  My baby was enormously pleased with my a cappella bathtime rendition of "Particle Man" last night.

Perhaps you have better pipes than O.

[Ben-San]

Or possibly your baby has better taste in music.

[Carlos del Vaca]

I sang "Fibber Island" and "Violin" during bathtime last night.  I tried to do "The House at the Top of the Tree," but I don't know it well enough.

Nice choices. I would recommend "Four of Two," but I also plan on having children who react to the phrase "gigantic metal bugs" with as much enthusiasm as I do.

Current baby status, 9/24: The baby wore a helmet of suds during the bathtime rendition of "Birdhouse In Your Soul."

A far superior choice to particle man, if I do say so myself.  Though this TMBG thing with Onstad makes me a little uneasy altogether.

Still, my parents sung me 'Stay Up Late' by the Talking Heads when I was a baby, and I would assume David Byrne was capable of imparting far greater weirdness on my malleable skull than TMBG, so ok.

Good God, do you think the entire Cartilage Head thing was inspired by an accidental finger-caused deformation of the Baby's soft spot?

[Max]

As I recall such an idea has already been suggested on these boards in one of the cartilage threads, though I think it was more along the lines of Onstad simply having the idea on his mind, rather than actually mutilating his own child.

Current baby status, 9/25: The baby killed a man in Reno.

Just to watch him die...

It's not mutilation per se. You're playing with the baby. The soft spot kind of goes out of shape when you're holding it. You freak out, the spot pops back into place. Whew! It's only mutilation, when, as in the Flathead indians, they strap things to the baby's head to shape it strangely.

[Mr Trout]

Though the Flathead Indians never practiced skull mutilation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flathead_Indians

I do this not out of the pleasure of correcting someone anonymously, but because this board must continue to be about education, and I want to do my small part.
