Finish Line - Creepy Cakes, Sesame Street, And Much More

Brett Singer — Sat, 30 May 2009 02:56:00 GMT

It was a short week for some, but on Strollerderby we were wicked busy, as they say in Beantown.

Here's a bit of what went on here the past few days:

Shannon called this one the "Post Most Likely to Send You Running for the Tissues This Week." Check out Paper Girl Delivers Food and Shelter to Haitian Family and see if you agree.
On a much lighter note is Jeanne's handy travel guide for the Big Bird lover in your life: Three Ways To Get to Sesame Street This Summer.
Sunny's post Creepiest Baby Shower Cake Ever is self-explanatory. But it still has to be seen to be believed. (Warning: it will take you a long time to UN-see this thing.)
Madeline wins the "title of the week" award with her post Sonogram Cufflinks for Father's Day ... or a Pro-Life March.
Speaking of breast milk (how's that for a transition?), Cole told us about a guy who actually said, "If I have a lactating daughter, why not take advantage of her?" He has cancer and is using the mommy milk as treatment. But I do question his choice of phrasing. Decide for yourself at WATCH: Man Drinks Daughter's Breast Milk to Cure Cancer.
As for me, I was astounded at the number of people who watched the season premiere of that reality show about the people who have all those kids. Share my amazement at Jon & Kate Plus 8 Premiere Snags 9.8 Million Viewers.
Finally, a plug for Babble Talk Radio, which this week featured myself and Famecrawler's Karl Erikson. You can listen to the whole show right here, and we'll be back live again next Friday.

Finish Line - Blame Daycare

Brett Singer — Sat, 23 May 2009 02:00:00 GMT

Holiday weekend -- whoo-hoo! But before you start grilling, here's a sampling of what happened here on the 'Derby this week.

Guess what? Not can we blame bad behavior on the mother, we can also blame it on day care! Madeline told us all about it in They Say: Moms, It's Still Your Fault. Well, Yours and Daycare.
Jeanne gave us a head-scratcher with Class Rings for Your Pre-Schooler? Heck, we don't even do trophies for my fantasy football league. And that's, like, important.
Shannon told us about a phenomenon that I wouldn't have predicted -- Economy Down, Adoptions Up.
Sunny told us 5 Ways Jon and Kate Are Not Like Us. I'd like to add a sixth -- we're not INSANE.
Amy told us that The Voice of Mickey Mouse is Silenced. Wayne Allwine died at age 62; he was only the third person to ever provide a voice for the world's most famous rodent.
And Shannon and I discussed adoption, gay marriage, and why legalizing gay marriage won't help same-sex couples with some of their adoption issues in this week's Babble Talk Radio.

Happy Memorial Day!

Finish Line - Shark Attack!

Brett Singer — Fri, 15 May 2009 21:00:00 GMT

Working as a parenting blogger, I never thought I would get to write the words "shark attack." For this privilege, I must thank Shannon for her post Dad Saves Son in Shark Attack. That dad makes me feel wimpy. I hope I'd be able to do the same thing in that situation. I'd certainly try. Now excuse me for a moment while I hum the theme from "Jaws."

Okay. I'm back.

Also on the 'Derby this week:

Madeline and I went live on BlogTalkRadio and talked about rude children. These kids today, no manners...
Madeline also made us laugh with Federal Agent* Seizes Oat-Based Contraband, which unfortunately was kind of true.
Jeanne spoke the unspoken truth about stained hand-me-downs with Don't Give Me Your Tired, Your Stained.
Hannah told us that even British parents can get all up in people's grill when the spirit moves them, in Parents Enraged by Emergency Contraception Commercial.
For Babble's Music and Video Week, Gwynne Watkins interviewed Stephen Merritt about his new musical version of Coraline, in 5 Minute Time-Out: Indie rock's curmudgeon has written a children's musical - but don't tell him that.
Amy gave us the latest Children's Choice Book Award Winners. It was Children’s Book Week, after all.
Oh, and Saturday Night Live did something funny. See the videos at my post, SNL Mother's Day Skits.

Remember -- if you haven't seen "Star Trek", we recommend that you do so. Well, I do. Trust me. It's good. Great, even.

Live long... and prosper.

Finish Line - Whine Flu and Rude Kids

Brett Singer — Fri, 08 May 2009 22:35:00 GMT

Whew! What a week.

Well, it wasn't any more of a "week" than it was last week. Unless you happen to be a fan of the New York Yankees. In that case, whew. What a week. You know things are bad when Yankee fans get out their Kabbalah bracelets and put all their faith in A-Rod. (Note: we are not suggesting that you purchase a Kabbalah bracelet. Unless you want to. Up to you.)

Jeanne wins the Belly Laugh of the Week Award with It's Not Swine Flu - Your Kid Has Whine Flu.
Madeline plays Miss Manners, but a funny Miss Manners, with They Say: Today's Kids are Rude, Here's Why.
Hannah told us about the return of the Republican Robo Daughter, with Bristol Palin Campaigning for Abstinence Only. Oh, and she's getting paid like Carrie Prejean. Memo to those with causes: if you have pay someone to talk to the media about it, there's a chance that you don't have as much support as you think you do.
Sunny told us that if you named your baby Emily, you're just being trendy, whether you knew it or not, with Move Over Emily – There’s a New Most Popular Baby Name. Unless you named your son Emily. Then you are marching to the beat of a different drummer.
Keri made life easy for her family by telling them about what she wants to eat in bed this Sunday, with Kitchenista: The Mother's Day Breakfast I Really Want.
I got all hopped about pre-teen tanning with 10 Year Old Burned By Tanning Bed.
And finally, Mike wins the Public Service For The Clueless Award, with his post The Mother's Day Minefield: Presents from Hell. "Chia mother's head." Heh heh.

Happy Mother's Day to all!

Finish Line - Cars, Baby Food, Panties

Brett Singer — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 00:00:00 GMT

Wow, what a week. For reasons that I don't completely understand, this one was very draining. For me. Your mileage may vary, of course.

Here's some of the excitement on the 'Derby the past few days:

Keri told us about a mom who actually went through with the threat we've all made -- "I'll stop this car and throw you right out!" Some people took her side, implying that this was just another example of "free-range kids." The only time my mother ever tossed me out of the car was when she was teaching me how to drive. But I was 17 at the time. (Of course, I still don't have my license. That's not her fault, though.)
One word: PANTIES! Thank you Madeline.
Amy wrote about homemade baby food, and judging by the comments, this is the next battle in the Mommy Wars. Note to self: if you want to get people going, use the phrase "get a grip." Seems to work wonders. (Which is fine, by the way.)
Kate wrote about some proposed new rules for corporal punishment, aka spanking. See, spanking the kids is one thing, but what about the more recrational forms of spanking? Will there be laws against that? (Don't answer that question, actually.)
Hannah tugged at our heartstrings (no pun intended) by telling us about a little boy named Tucker, with Parents Find Unique Way to Pay for Child's Heart Surgery.
Sunny wins the Headline of the Week award with Pregnant Woman Escapes Bear Attack - Gets Hit By Car. I have to agree with maeby, who questioned why a pregnant woman went for a hike in "bear heaven."
Jeanne told us that chewing gum is a GOOD thing, despite what your teachers told you. So there, Mrs. Morrison! Take that!
As for me, in honor of food week, I told you what I served my kids every day. I even tweeted it. No really. I did. There are pictures and everything.

More to come next week, I'm sure. Now go take a nap, will ya? Oh wait, I meant to say that to myself. Sorry.

Finish Line - April Fools And More

Finish Line - Pirates Are Back

Brett Singer — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 02:15:00 GMT

One of the fun parts of blogging (especially for Babble, which has the greatest blogs on this or any other planet) is being surprised by the reactions to a post.

Case in point: Shannon's Pirates Are Not Appropriate for Kids (and Other Ranting), which generated a lot of chatter. Who knew?

I would have thought that Jeanne's brilliantly titled post Breastfeeding Debates: Just a Tempest in a Sippy Cup? would have created more comments. Then again, it's hard to argue with the statement, "Do we really care what another mother does with her boobs?" (I do, but I'm a guy. Wait. Ignore that sentence. Everyone do what you want to do with your boobs. They belong to you. Oooo boy.)

Hannah tells us about a petting zoo that, frankly, sounds a bit scary. (Would You Take Your Kids to a Petting Zoo with Lions, Tigers, and Bears?) Then again, I won't go on Space Mountain at Disney World. So maybe I'm not the best judge.

Jen asked a good question with The Holiday Dilemma: When Parental Gift-Giving Goes Too Far. Easter presents. Who knew? I'm still trying to convince the wife that we can get Easter baskets for the kids even though we're Jewish. So far all I've managed to do is buy (and eat) a lot of Peeps.

Jen also gave us The Five Peanuts TV Specials That Never Should Have Been. Personally, I'm in favor of more and more Peanuts specials, and I even enjoy the mediocre ones. (I even like "Arbor Day.") This proves that sometimes we disagree and that there is no Babble Hive Mind.

Mike questioned the notion of Terrible Twos with Terrible Twos: Myth or Kicking. Your. A@!? Personally, I found two to be easier than three. Of course, neither of my children are teenagers yet. If they're anything like me, I'm thinking Terrible Thirteens, Fourteens, Fifteens...

Madeline gives us her take on Dr. Laura with Stay-At-Home Moms are the Best, Aren't They! Madeline starts with "Oh, for God's sake, Dr. Laura, put a lid on it." But then she says that she really agrees with everything the Doc says. OK, no she doesn't. Just wanted to see if you were paying attention. The comments are numerous and terrific: for example, "Whatever" says that "Maybe my daughter is in daycare, but at least she won't grow up acting like a sanctimonious ass-hat." I want to start a band named "Sanctimonious Ass-hat." Ah, goals.

As for myself, I took a more lighthearted approach to pirates by telling you about the release of Tina Fey's Sesame Street appearance on DVD. (Special thanks to Jezebel for the linkee dink.)

What will next week bring? I don't know but I promise you one thing -- I will do everything in my power not to use the phrase "linkee dink." No idea where that came from.

Boy Calls 911 When Mom Drives Drunk

Finish Line - April Fools And More

Finish Line - Playmobil Gets Crucified

Brett Singer — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 02:30:00 GMT

Lots going on this week, as always.

Jeanne told us how Playmobil got all up in some priest's grill because he made a religious diaroma with their toys. Does this mean that companies could have sued my friends and I for putting our Tron action figures in the toaster oven?
Madeline politely told the breast pump banning contingent to shove it. That's a huge oversimplification, as well as my personal opinion. Madeline put it much better, so read the whole thing.
Mike told us that if your kids ever sue you because you grounded them, you can, as the song says, blame Canada. That's right -- a 12-year-old girl sued her dad because he wouldn't let her go on a class trip, and she won. Canada, you already gave us Celine Dion --wasn't that torture enough?
Hannah reminds us that the 60's were fun. And by "fun" we mean "incredibly sexist." “Boys can eat. Girls can cook.” Whoo-hoo! Read the whole thing here.
Shannon posts a video of one of the funniest toddlers on YouTube, and uses it as a starting point for a discussion on how kids deal with m-m-m-monsters.
Speaking of video, Cole brought us one that is either disturbing or a great big plate of who cares, depending on your point of view. Me, I'm wondering why the childbirth simulator model is so quiet. Watch it yourself right here.
As for me, it was all Peeps, all the time. Peeper Madness, folks. Catch it.

Don't eat too many jellybeans on Sunday. See you next week.

Finish Line - April Fools And More

Brett Singer — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 18:30:00 GMT

April Fool's ain't just for your kids, and that's no foolin'. You need foooolin', baby I'm not foooooolin'... or something like that.

A few faves from the week that will soon be history:

Shannon fooled a whole bunch of y'all with Sesame Street Changes with the Times Again. I wasn't snookered because, as anyone who's seen Avenue Q knows, only Bert goes that way. Ernie is as straight as an arrow. (If you haven't seen the show, my apologies since you don't get that. But see the show cuz it's very funny.)
Cole's post Musical SpongeBob Rectal Thermometer. Fun for Your Kid’s Butt? was not an April Fool's joke, unfortunately. Two comments that need their brilliance highlighted: Mike's "Sponge bob is actually a licensed physician in three states, so this makes a lot of sense. And his bedside manner is gracious." And CK Lunchbox, who said, "Beats the std home-test kit they had planned so teens could check for Krusty Krabs." Heh heh. Krabs.
Jeanne goes all cue ball for a good cause, tells us about it, and even shares a photo of her shiny pate with her post When a Mother Goes Bald. The shave is to raise money for St. Baldrick's, and I will admit to the world that it took me a few days to get the connection (BALDrick's). As a naturally almost-bald man, I approve. Read more about the worthy charity, and donate, at www.stbaldricks.org.
Jen found something else for parents to worry about with Why Can't Johnny Read? Because Someone Thinks His Books Contain Lead.
Keri got some folk's blood boiling when she wondered if we should be concerned with whether Ashley Biden does or does not liiiike.. cocaine with Joe Biden's Daughter Allegedly Caught on Tape Snorting Cocaine; Do We Care?
My personal favorite post of the past few days (from my own work, that is) was Spiderman Rescues Autistic Boy. And not only because it allowed me to mention Spiderman. Well, that's part of it. But it's not the only reason. (It's not!)
And finally, Hannah asks a question that has troubled scholars for many moons: Little Girl Dancing to "Single Ladies": Disturbing or Adorable?

That's all for now. See you next week. And remember -- let's be careful out there.

Finish Line - Our Week In Review

Brett Singer — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 00:30:00 GMT

Back with a vengeance -- and the best of intentions -- we proudly bring you Finish Line, a weekly round-up of what we've writen the past week here on StrollerDerby.

Jeanne told us about a baby whose lack of a biological mother hasn't prevented him from being breastfed. By six different women, no less.
Amy got people talking when she asked "What Advice Did You Ignore?"
Shannon says that parents who help with homework might be no help at all. (It's more complicated than that, read her post to see why.)
Mike gets all serious when he tells us about "Autism and Links to Violence, a True Story".
Abortion! Now that I've got your attention, read Kate's post about a doctor on trial for performing the late-term variety.
Cole spills the beans on all of the stuff they don't tell you about becoming a parent. (Spoiler alert: the fact that kids are cute and sometimes stinky is not on the list. Cuz everybody knows that.)
And I pointed out that Baby Einstein doesn't just want your money -- they want you to feel good about giving it to them.

More next week -- have a great weekend everyone.
