hatred of the polack

Little Barrister will be part polack on his/her mother's side.

SIGH.

Teach him (or her) to shoot guns at age 10.

Teach your kid:

To not hit girls, if it's a guy.
To not be a cock tease, if it's a girl.
To not welch on bets.
To learn to dribble left handed.
To stick up for the defenseless.

So I'm trying to come up with a list of all the topics I need to indoctrinate my child in.  Let me know if I am forgetting any:

-law and order
-good manners
-Blue Bomber football
-hard work
-God
-conservatism
-importance of education
-the Conservative Party
-to love the outdoors

What am I missing?  :unsure:

You should teach your child well that their father's hell did slowly go by, and feed him on your dreams, the one they picked, the one you'll know by; but don't ever ask them why, if he told you, you would cry, so just look at him and sigh and know he loves you.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Seriously, though, you should teach your child Sam McGee and the wisdom of Don Cherry.

While I enjoy the production value of thee 4 down game, the three down game is naturally superior.  And Milt Stegall is more of a football God than Brett Favre is.

The missus was suggesting Morgan and Ethan as names. 

I was not amused. 

She was not amused at my lack of amusement.

This'll be fun...

Your kid won't ever care who Milt Stegall is.  It'll be like when my dad talks about how great a player Ron Lancaster was.  I just smile and nod, knowing the sun rises and sets on Kent Austin.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

"Ethan Boy" has a ring to it; "Morgan Boy" not so much.  Have you suggested "Stymie" yet?

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

She knows I'm a history geek - why the hell is she suggesting all these trendy names?

I have just enough common sense to not name the kid Theodora or Constantine, but I have to have a name with some history to it...
