chrisco123: Trunks were made for dogs kids.

Koalaesq: I dunno, my husband and I decided on the baby because of the tax credit.

I claim my dog as a dependant.

DROxINxTHExWIND: Theaetetus: A bill passed in 2012 includes higher fines than a bill passed in 1983? You don't say...

THIS.

Do you know what you could do with $10 in 1983, Subby?

I could get about 9 gallons of gas. You could go into a store with $1 and leave with a 16oz soda AND a bag of chips.

It was wonderful when the gallons numbers moved faster than the dollars numbers.

trappedspirit: If it were a baby they can attack you and give you the rabies

My favorite band name......

"Babies with Rabies"

/we thought of it in the 1980s and some UK punk band and some DC a-holes stole it.

Number of dogs liked / Number of dogs encountered > Number of babies liked / Number of babies encountered

vpb: Marcus Aurelius: Dogs are very very tasty. You know how you can't purchase Kobe beef in the US? Try buying dog meat. The Vietnamese butcher in my neighborhood charges upward of $50 a pound.

What does he charge for baby meat? $0.50?

Humans don't have much meat on them until they're at least 2 years old. Everybody knows that.

Dogs are much harder to replace than babies. Well, for men that is. It's a lot more work for the woman involved. This is especially true if they are well-bred (the dogs, not the men or women--breeding has little to do with the cost of babies except in so far as it raises or lowers out-of-pocket expenses).

The UK Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (RSPCC) was founded 60 years after the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) and began as an adjunct to that estimèd society. This was pointed out by Bill Bryson in his Notes from a Small Island, where I read it recently. He uses it as an example of the strange relationship of the British with animals (which a recent book on our strange relationship with animals everywhere sums up as hunt 'em, exterminate 'em, love 'em, eat 'em, etc.).

The English have always liked children less than animals, or at least, the right sort of animals--those that confer prestige or beauty or utility or power.

And better looking.

And better behaved.

And easier to train.

And smells better.

And quieter.

Oh, yeah. A 16 oz. soda in a GLASS bottle. I remember those. Good times, good times...

Then where do baby back ribs come from if they don't come from a baby's back?

You know, I never thought about that. That's an excellent point.
