I KNEW this would happen.
The second SKS had a baby, Wonkette would turn into “baby this, double stroller, that, breast or bottle, disposable or cloth”.
SKS is a MOMMY BLOGGER.
(Seriously, where are the pictures. I want to see photos of the tiny bundle of joy because babies are cute!)
Am I racist if I refer to her as an “ant” rather than an “aahnt” because that’s just how I talk.
Named after Austin Powers, their favorite movie.

Calling your “aunt” an “ont” seems really constipated. Like calling Nevada “Nevodda.”
Time for some Aunt music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQB9yaH6cfY&feature=related
Alt-text almost made me poop my pants.
[re=489735]Chernobyl Soup[/re]: But that’s how it should be pronounced; just because the Brits can’t speak their own language doesn’t make “aowntt” correct.
[re=489736]Larry Fine[/re]: Baby naming rules- If you name your kid after a state capital (Austin, Madison, Cheyenne, Olympia or Pierre,) it’s going to be a stripper.
WHARE”S DA BIRFCERTIFkATE !!!!11!!)!!110
But seriously. That’s great news.
[re=489757]BigDupa[/re]: I think Bismarck would be a reasonable exception to that rule. And really, the strippers I’ve known were named after prominent geographical features or cartoon characters — Sierra and Pebbles coming quickly to mind. Ah, Pebbles — that extra $75 was worth it, but Barney and Betty would not have approved.
[re=489741]Mr Blifil[/re]: Aunt music for sects people.
RE: Pebbles. That’s Fred and Wilma. And Bamm-Bamm would likely approve.
[re=489758]Asa Hawks[/re]: Damnit. You beat me to it.
Aw shit, here it is anyway: WEHRS THE LAWNG FOARM SERTIFIKIT!?!!!!11!
Why don’t I have alt text? Is it my fed gov’t blocker??
I like babies a lot but glad mine are grown. I love other people’s babies – I like to hold them and talk to them- but diapers are still gross.
Anyway- here is my kvetch today about stupid people. Today there was a sales ad that said “2 for $5- that is ONLY $2.50 each” Is the arithmetic that hard that the store has to explain that $2.50 is half of $5?
Great, just what the world needs. More black people.
Isn’t that pitcher of Courteny Love days before she tried her first Lude?
[re=489733]hockeymom[/re]: Stop. I’m beginning to lactate.
[re=489773]coffeeyesplease[/re]: Not if the kid looks HF Jr.
Hey, it’s Harpo Marx….. from when he was involved in Reindeer Games!
[re=489757]BigDupa[/re]: So I guess my daughter Montpelier is kinda fucked, then.
Babies are just like little people.
[re=489735]Chernobyl Soup[/re]: Growing up in the Midwest, I never heard “aahnt.” Still sounds funny to me.
[re=489767]Rosie Scenario[/re]: Yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the Flintstones.
[re=489758]Asa Hawks[/re]: Beat me to it as well.
But seriously, is this baby a Kenyan Time Lord like our current usurper?
[re=489772]finallyhappy[/re]: I actually have a plan to create a full-body cleaner called “The Baby Cyclone.” It would essentially be like a giant, gentle toilet that snuggly secures around the lower half of your bundle of joy and washes them clean.
Either that, or I’m going to invest in a power washer when I reproduce, because I have a hard enough time picking up after my dogs.
Hey, don’t you remember, Michele’s family were slaves on some land that Joe Wilson or Lindsay Graham or that other cracker- Demint – owned.
Yay Babies.
Yabies.
[re=489772]finallyhappy[/re]: Re: Stupid people – I work in accounting and had to spend over an hour explaining 50% to a secretary. An hour!! Needless to say, she no longer works here…..
Sara, I suggest you save that alt-text for the next David Vitter post. Just sayin’.
In the South, we pronounce it “aint” — just like Andy and Opie called their Aint Bea.
But seriously, where are the baby pictures of Little Wonkette?
[re=489836]bigblueboo[/re]: I’ll have to disagree and say Boo Babies; or at least Boo to my two cousins’ toddlers who infected me with this damned cold over the holidays.
Austin Hussein Robinson and Baby K. Smith better have their deposits put down already; it is not easy to get into a good Madrasah.
With a name like that, you just KNOW he’s married to a white girl. Holla!
[re=489844]BeWoot[/re]: I was going to say this, so now I’ll just add that southerners use both. They’ll say “Aint Mary’s comin’ over,” but then they’ll also say, “That’s Mary, she’s my ant.”
Retarded southerners. Can’t decide which it is.
Since Wonkette is quickly becoming the blog des enfants, may I give my opinion that babies are cutest when they’re cooing, laughing, smiling, and living at YOUR house.
[re=489879]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: Not to muddy things further, but some Southerners (us over here in the upper suburbs of Mississippi) pronounce it “ont.” Which gives the editors of the DARE a mighty confuse.
[re=489840]DirtyHarriett[/re]: Must have had an amazing rack to have gotten hired in the first place.
Apparently human babies are not so popular among the Elephant population:

[re=489879]RoscoePColtraine[/re]:
Who is this Miss Ippy of which you speak?
That’s how my hick, yankee-blastin’ kin-folk pronounced your state, Elvis.
[re=489772]finallyhappy[/re]: You know how sometimes you see things (e.g. pillows) marked “50% off,” sometimes “buy one, get one free,” and sometimes “two for X dollars.” That’s because the general populace finds it IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND they are the same thing. Retail establishments all just cycle the same three types of “sales,” because certain people are utterly convinced one is better buy than the other. Seriously, that’s how stupid consumers are.
