only thing that really matters is a classical sauce

On a completely unrelated note: I’ve never mentioned it here, but I have this strange unconscious habit of taking off one sock, and then going about my business. An hour later I’ll realize I’m sitting on the couch in my living room with only one sock on, and not be able to remember when or where the other sock made its escape.

I’ve always thought there was some psychological reason for this. Like maybe I was abused by a priest or a Footlocker employee. But recent revelations have thrown the whole “nurture” theory into doubt. You see, my daughter seems to have picked up the same trait of removing one sock. Though in her case, of course, it probably has more to do with a complete lack of fine motor control than anything else.

This is very in-ter-est-ing. I also know for a fact that MG and daughter have something else in common: both make doodies in their pants!

That used to be true Tom, but it isn't any more. You see, I stopped wearing pants, so now the doodies just fall to the floor.

Already tripping out your own spawn... MG, leave it to the lady...

i have the unrelated habit of throwing my keys in the garbage just after entering my place. Been doing it since I was a kid, but I've been better about it after the last episode of rummaging through two weeks of trash on my old corner, and wretching several times during a few potent "dairy moments."

I'm not sure what "tripping out [my] own spawn" exactly means. Knowing you, Lock, I probably don't want to know.

Lajo - So is there anything you can trace back to for a reason for throwing your keys away? Is it something from your past, or just poor placement of the garbage can?

I hope your daughter doesn't pick up your habit of not wearing underpants...

were you playing pantera when this shot was taken? 'cause judging by her left hand, she's ROCKin' out hardcore! maybe she lost her sock in the mosh pit...

I scratch my nuts. So does Ian. But maybe it's just a guy thing.

i have no idea. i often came in and threw out a piece of trash i was saving for the garbage, first thing. i guess some days i only had keys. the weird thing is that sometimes i'd march right over to the garbage and, with emphasis, open it up and just throw'em iin there. i'd just be releasing them when i'd realize what the fuck i was (or still am) doing...

I didn't notice it until you mentioned it, but yes, she does have the rock devil horns going. But no, we weren't listening to Pantera. We were listening to Sepultura.
