Current baby status, 9/26: Like a person with a metal plate in their head, the baby is mad at her own teeth.

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.

I stand corrected. I am, however, happy to know someone mutilated their baby:

The Flatheads, as Lewis and Clark called them, prefer to be called Salish. Ironically, the tribe Lewis and Clark called the Flatheads never practiced the custom of flattening the skull of their children, while some of the Columbia River tribes did. The common explanation of the English name is that the Salish were considered flat-headed by the tribes of the Columbia who considered their own purposely deformed skulls to be pointed. Supposedly in the nineteenth century these mountain "Flatheads" became confused by Anglos with those who did practice skull deformation.

Thus, we need to find the names of these Columbia River tribes. LAZYWEB, GET TO IT.

Current baby status, 9/28: The wireless baby monitor is on the same frequency as my wireless keyboard and so [sound of small fuzzy worm playing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star]

I like this latest baby status a lot. At first I thought it was simply cheesy, but then I thought about the statement as if Chris was thinking about his baby so much, and that she is the most important thing in his life to the extent that the sound of the baby monitor (lit. the baby's status) is interfering with his thoughts (which travel through his keyboard, his keyboard acting as the conduit for his thoughts) so his keyboard is literally on the same frequency as the baby monitor.





Or maybe I'm just being really really sappy. Your call.

Mission Accomplished! (Starting the most popular thread ever on this messageboard)

NOW YOU CAN DIE HAPPY

Also, wasn't this spawned from another thread?  Isn't it V-Adore or a mod who really started this thread?

[AlohaDawg]

I think it was split from the daily strips. Also I dispute the idea that this is the most popular thread....take away all the posts that are the daily update from Onstad and count how many posts.

Of course, I'm bitter because I basically think that the baby updates are not value added to Achewood.

That's my way of saying boo to that.

[jough]

But how else would you know of the inanities of Onstad's daughter's life?

[AlohaDawg]

You could just make them up. That's pretty much what Onstad is doing much of the time.

The baby updates make me sing Faith No More's Zombie Eaters.

Current baby status, 10/01: The little baby watched an old woman with a cane hobble by while Simon and Garfunkel music seemed to make a point that none could ignore

Current baby status, 10/03: The baby was proud of herself due to a cute accomplishment.

Current baby status, 10/04: The baby slept for over seven minutes in a row, but in the end we paid the price for such a lavish respite

[jough]

Current baby status, 10/09: The baby went to a wedding where a spiritual man with body odor played enormous Paiste gongs for a long time before anyone was allowed to eat.

Current baby status, 10/12: Another enormous plastic containment / entertainment device was purchased for the purpose of quelling baby's tears for an additional six minutes each day.  
 

An ominous trend begins.
