I was thinking about posting this photo with the caption “Toddler’s First Goatse” but then I thought to myself, self, just how fast do you want to go to hell anyway?

rilypic_081.jpg

Hey, how about we have us a photo namin’ contest? I mean, I’ve got this assembly-line brain drain going on from being stuck at home doing the same tasks over and over and over: feed baby, change baby, pry embedded LEGO from the arch of my foot, feed baby, change baby, run a load of 4828951 burp rags through the laundry, feed baby, change baby, fantasize about driving to the hospital in order to locate the nurse who scoldingly informed JB and I that bottle-fed babies should be able to go 4 hours between feedings and punching her in the face, etc, and really, I could use some fun distractions.

The rules are thusly: you post your best title idea in the comments section, and I’ll pick my favorite based on a complicated set of criteria involving a decision grid and Excel pivot table (what? Just because I don’t actually know what a pivot table is doesn’t mean I won’t use one). The winner receives a $50 Amazon gift certificate.

It’s just like Ree’s photo contests, except the prize is way less awesome! And the photo isn’t exactly frameworthy, either!

One entry per person, leave your email address so I know how to get in touch with you, contest ends sometime between tonight and tomorrow. Remember, crude porn references only send the parent to hell, not the impartial, innocent internet reader.

UPDATE: contest now closed!

    “There’s no Santa Claus?”

    “Oh no, the fed cut interest rates again!”

    “I can’t believe you and Daddy fudged the numbers on your capital losses in 2006!”

    “Your viral protection hasn’t been updated since November!”

    “You told me that Dylan came from the cabbage patch, but that’s not what your website says.”

  99. Alyson on February 28th, 2008 3:27 pm

    Not a caption, but if Dylan can’t go 4 or so hours between feedings (most especially at night), might I suggest mixing his bedtime bottle with the smallest amount of rice cereal (think slightly thick formula). You might need to alter a nipple to accomodate the slight chunkiness, but I guarantee it won’t hurt him and might help you. I fed all three of my big, bruising boys thin rice cereal at about a month old at bedtime and none of them have food issues, and no food allergies. 21 year old is 6′6″+, 17 year old is 6′3″, and 10 year old is 5′+ and taller than his teacher from second grade. None of them are overweight either. Well, oldest could lose a little weight, but he’s eating college crap food - that’s not my doing.

    Try it, you’ll like it! (don’t tell your pediatrician).

    Um… I’m having a brain fart, so I’ll go caption-free for this contest. Maybe if you have another one in the future (with less entries before mine LOL), I’ll have enough brain power to think up a decent one. All the ones I’ve read are AWESOME, though.
