Won't someone PLEASE post an 'ible on how to make a baby?

Nov 17, 2009. 11:21 PMsherry03874 says:

LoL, I guess if they need instructions they shouldn't be making one!

Just thought I might blaze a trail here and acknowledge that this was, in fact, a joke.

Sep 13, 2009. 11:33 AMPoppa Chubby says:

Thank you. Perhaps you'd care to explain the whole "got your nose" thing that parents sometimes do to children.. ;-) Peace.

Dude! If you don't know by now, you shouldn't reproduce...ever!

um...

Aug 11, 2009. 4:23 PMOBar says:

So, am I to assume that when potty training, smacking them in the nose with a rolled up news paper is a bad thing when they leave a surprise in the corner? (Obviously I'm not a father)

Sep 11, 2009. 1:15 AMMax California says:

hahaha. Apparently, I'm not supposed to rub his nose in it either.

...but... where do babies come from???

Jun 30, 2009. 12:36 PMwatermelonhead says:

well, when a mommy and a daddy love each other very much... or, you buy the kit from k-mart.

I'm sure there's a duct tape instructible for making babies here somewhere.

Jun 11, 2009. 7:33 AMMillenniumMan says:

Here ya go, a duct tape baby...

Sep 11, 2009. 1:16 AMMax California says:

I really want to do that to my son, but i think everyone would kill me. C'mon, the kid looks HAPPY!

parenting FAIL.

Perhaps not exactly at that age, but sooner or later you WILL feel the urge to duct tape Junior to the ceiling.

baby store...well, after the new firmware and system restore, they will start shipping them via the e-stork like old times, but now they have an e in front :)

Apr 9, 2009. 4:14 PMbwpatton1 says:

Do you have to install new firmware or does it come pre-installed? Could you run a diffrent OS?? LOL

Apr 10, 2009. 6:36 AMfwjs28 says:

you can customize the os, but its only reccomended for advanced prgrammers...and the new firmware "should" update it self, but you never know....

and what do you do about dormant malware that seems to activate around two years, it's terrible...

Apr 27, 2009. 12:28 PMfwjs28 says:

ah yess... most babies are loaded with crapware..i receommend using some sort of precautionar device to catch and hold this spewing of "stuff" ....as for the malware itself, i say give 'em a binkie and pray like hell that they shut up ;P

Jun 23, 2009. 11:11 AMDesignerUserName says:

What if your model didn't come with a binkie?

Jun 23, 2009. 7:40 PMfwjs28 says:

that means you got a defective model (most likely because it was part of a masive recall of late) so i would recommened taking yours back to whence it came.....oh and ask them if they have a crapware removal tool....

Jun 24, 2009. 8:22 AMDesignerUserName says:

Ah. She runs fine without it, maybe I just got better software. And about that crapware, I just ignore it. It seems to straighten itself out after a while.

Jun 24, 2009. 10:45 AMfwjs28 says:

true...well i highly recomend something to " precautionary device to catch and hold this spewing of "stuff" " as i stated earlier

seems like sound advice from the Oracle...things can get a little crazy when something causes it to dump and the logs fill up.

Apr 27, 2009. 5:32 PMfwjs28 says:

i know exactly what you mean...by all means changing from HumanOS to something like ubuntu may be troublesome in the short time, yet extremely helpful after 20+ years....
