Good news. Bad news. So, apparently the ultrasound tech did not find male junk. That means we are having a girl, which is cool, in part, because we have a shit-ton of girl stuff in the attic. Unfortunately though, this is bad news for the Name My Baby Contest. I only had naming rights if the baby was a boy. The Haybag has the naming rights for any girl issue, and she is apparently unwilling to relinquish those rights for a blog contest. I guess she has a couple names picked out already. I know. Totally selfish.
Also, I have been guest posting every Friday over at the Sport-Glutton. Every Friday, the Glutton posts a preview for a particular NFL game, and I contribute a short, beerbecue-style beer review that is related (sometimes tenuously) to the match-up. So, head on over to the Friday Football Fix. The Sports-Glutton is a one-stop shop for sports, booze, food, and general hilarity.
Lastly, I will have a new review up on Monday morning: Cisco Brewer’s Monomoy Kriek. After all, this is a beer review site…of sorts.
I was just looking at my site last night and thinking I need to start hitting the reviews again.
As far as the name the baby contest, is there some kind of blog discrimination going on? If you wrote a pediatric blog and we were all Doctors would she consider it? Is she hating on the beer crew (don’t get me wrong, I don’t blame her)?
She probably just thought crowd-sourcing would produce a boy name more to her liking than what I was suggesting (Eamonn, Declan, Finn).
What about a “Give the baby her pre-birth nickname contest”? We’ve already named our non-existent future baby “Stamey Flapjack” in honor of Stamey’s BBQ in Greensboro, NC, and a Colbert segment about the names of Mitt Romney’s kids. It’s good…every future baby needs a goofy nickname, right? Congrats – if she is anything like your first, I imagine the hilarity will be compounded! I’m still laughing about that Care Bear picture.
Holy shit, that is genius. This contest may be back on!
I do what I can!
Maybe the Haybag just needs a good selection of names…
Tia Maria
Bailey
Brandy
Sherry
Margarita
Sangria
Skyy
Midori
Moonshine
Stella
And my fave: Ginny
Good call. Those are all great suggestions. I will propose them to the Haybag. I think she just needs to be a little more open-minded about this whole thing.
What about Chardonnay? I’m surprised we haven’t run into one of those at the playground already. It has that wanna-be-classy-but-missed-the-point feel to it.
I have three girls so I would like to have contributed to a name the boy contest. Good job on the guest posting.
Thanks! And it looks like we’ll each have to continue trolling the Internet for some other sick bastard to hold a Name My Baby (boy) contest!
I think that you should get a second opinion…perhaps the that third leg was hidden.
Or it might have been cold.
