New Iron Man 3 Poster Explains Something
Topless Robot has a new poster from Iron Man 3. That would be enough for us, but they also offer an explanation about why the Avengers movie is called “Avengers Assemble” outside the U.S. Read more »
Streaker Disrupts Youth Soccer Game
You thought streakers only went to professional sporting events. You thought wrong. This streaker interrupted a high school soccer game. Seriously.
No, we mean it. They have video. And unlike in pro sports, they let the streaking nudniks on TV.
Makes us wonder if perhaps wannabe streakers will start to frequent high school sports. At least they’ll get on TV. If a trend emerges, please pretend we never suggested this. Because it’s a bad idea.

Mom Advice That’s Also Good For Dad
From Mom365 comes some good advice about how to be a “Calm and Happy Mom.” Dads can use these tips as well.
(Full disclosure — I write for Mom365 periodically; here’s an example.)
The third item on the list, “Be Grateful,” is something that I personally want to spend more time on. The author, Valerie Reiss, suggests that a good way to practice gratitude is to “Every day, name three things you’re thankful for; it’s an instant joy boost.” Sounds good to me.
This particular piece of advice is perfect for parents of all genders, dads as well as moms. Most people know that parenting can be frustrating at times. What is less often discussed is how dealing with kids on a daily basis can distract you from other parts of your life. Children, especially young ones, require a lot of attention. It is very easy to get caught up in the details of dirty diapers and daily dinners. That can lead to forgetting how good life is and how lucky you are.
Lest you think gratitude isn’t cool, a certain band called The Beastie Boys would disagree with you.

So would Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine. Also me.
Other items on the list include “Dance” (this may not be for everyone but I’ll give it a shot), “Create” (defined here as making something, “even a doodle”), and drinking lots of water, which is healthy and forces you to take a trip to the bathroom more often. Sometimes that counts as a parenting break.

The Only Baby Dancing Gangham Style Video You Need
Apparently videos of babies dancing to Korean pop star Psy’s “Gangham Style” are a thing. A meme, as the kids call it. But this is the only video of a baby dancing to Gangham Style you will ever need to see.
Right? How cute is that? You’re welcome.

UrbanBaby is a Fascinating Cesspool of Insanity
UrbanBaby is… well, read this chunk of text and you decide.
We are suppose to have children in our 20’s people. Not our 30’s. And especially not our 40’s. This is why you’re having problems. You picked career over kids & now your pissed you can’t have both. Cry me a river. It was your own choice. I had kids in early 30’s and was pleasantly surprised I was able to have 2. I’m grateful.
It is a place for intelligent, trenchant debate, right? Of course it is.
