so on that note, can someone, ANYONE, grab an extra banner (or two) for Ollie and his daddy?

ianmonsta, take note. Next time you are making an excuse to get out of a Kings game, this is the way to do it. I would have probably added a few more adverbs myself, but you get the point.

tsk tsk ****ing tsk.

GG this! I used to (have to) go to baby showers when I was dragged there by my wife or when one of my coworkers was going to have a baby. About 6 - 8 years ago, I just hit the wall - no MORE! What a waste of ******' time for men.

Now when there's a shower at work and I'm walking out the door to have lunch with friends, the guys in the conference room look at us with that "hey, where are you guys going / please take me with you look..." suckahs!

I'm including "Engagement Parties" in this too.

Millions upon Billions of people get married and have babies. Do we need a party for everything? Oh and for those of you who have destination weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties AND an Engagement Party.......

**** you.

Why do I have to spend my hard earned money and my weekends/vacation time on three separate events celebrating the fact that the you and the person you already live in sin with are signing a document that means she legally gets all your Kings **** when you die?

Go to hell and give me back my three day weekend and that salad spinner I bought you.

Ass.

I outright told my cousin's fiance - If the Kings were raising the banner on the same day as your wedding, then I hope y'all have fun at your wedding.

THE ACTUAL WEDDING.





And ges,

We watched Game 1 of the Blues series at you and Kat's baby shower. I appreciate the fact that you knew what was going down and planned accordingly, so that was cool.

Had to google what a baby shower is.

Road Game.

Not even in the same sport much less the same ballpark.

Whats with people having multiple Showers also? Didnt it use to be 1 shower for the first kid and thats it? When did it become okay to have a shower for each pregnancy? My wife gets invited to a shower every 2 months for peeps that already have 4 kids. No! I am NOT buying you another freakn car seat when you're STILL using the one I gave you 2 years ago!!! F-OFF!

i've said the same, haha. there's this giant culture of presents presents presents now so people'll have multiple showers just to get presents. not sure if it was an idea planted by babies r us type industries to get people to buy more of their crap or if it's just because we live in a consumerist society where you just buy new stuff and get rid of "old" stuff constantly (or let it all accumulate...)
