OK my GAF brethren, I have an announcement to lay on you all:

My wife and I are expecting our first child! Wife is currently 3 months pregnant and we're excited at the prospect of becoming parents. It remains to be seen how this will affect my posting numbers on GAF. Probably take a hit, but we'll see.

I am a parent to be!!!!!!!!

 

[Tritroid]

GRATS!!

Remember to post pictures of the new baby. (But after it's been cleaned off, no one wants to see all that bloody mucus and shit.)

 

[Escape Goat]

Congratulations! You've made a wise investment. In 8 or 9 years you'll have a able body child to do yardwork FOR you. Prepare to sit back and watch Sunday football.

 

[ronito]

Congrats. Now take this advice. Get in as much vacationing, stupid toys for yourself buying, game playing, movie going and sleep as you can because in 6 months that all goes bye bye for a long time.

And get you beers from the fridge...

Wow, I should have thought of this sooner! Thanks for the tips on what to look forward to! :lol

Every time someone gets laid they have to come announce it here.

Kids are obnoxious disease vectors and having one seems tantamount to enslaving yourself, but I'm happy for you regardless. Congrats!

 

[pnjtony]

yeah, kiss vacations goodbye for a couple years...it's totally tough to work out. I'm planning my first vacation in 4 years for next summer. I tried going camping last year but that only lasted about 2 nights with an 18 month old. Oh, he loved it, but it was hard as hell to contain the kidlet

Don't forget snow shoveling!

Anyway, congrats Manics-- best of luck.

 

[acoustix]

Congrats, man.

Word! If I ever have a kid, I'm gonna figure out a way to incubate it until age 8 or so, when it can fetch and perform simple tasks.

But er, yeah. Congrats, Manics!

She told me she was on the pill.

I have one week to take your advice. I don't think I'll make it.

Congrats, btw.

I'm hopeful that in the future, advances in genetic engineering will result in more effective child suppression measures. Like some kind of short duration chemically-imposed nerve stapling for whenever they leave the house. They can't cry/scream/yell if they can't feel anything! Tuning kids so that they can hear painful sound frequencies that adults can't also is appealing, especially if the emitters are inexpensive and available to people without kids.

I've also joked that, up until age 18 or so, children should just not be allowed to open their mouths. But without oral sex, the whole abstinence-only sex ed that's all the rage breaks down pretty quickly, so I had to toss aside that idea.

name it demi

 

[GaimeGuy]

I recommend the name "Stewart"

[Nightbreeze]

congrats!

 

[Meier]

Congrats man! If it's a boy, will he be named Richey?

 

[Jonnyram]

Congrats man
(don't listen to Meier - James Dean is a much cooler name)

 

[Manics]

Congrats man! If it's a boy, will he be named Richey?

Hehe, as much as I enjoyed the Richey-era Manics, I don't want to curse my kid with the name of a seriously fucked up dude.

 

[DarienA]

Congrats dood, new fatherhood rocks, there are a few of us floatin around!

Don't forget that children make great tax breaks AND they can find the remote control for you too!

 

[Alyssa Hu$tle]

Congratulations to you and your wife!!!

You have 6 months left of sleeping in. Plan no shit on your weekend mornings for the next 6 months - I am totally serious. Sleep in as long as you can every opportunity you get, even if you are not tired. You will be soon to loose that privilege for the next 12 years or so. You will miss it when it is gone.

But congratulations to you both, and I hope you have a healthy and happy baby.

I admire you. The prospect scares the hell outta me, and I am at that cross-road in life right now where I am thinking what the hell do I do... it's on the cards, but there ain't no way I am ready to bring a child into this world. So my hat goes off to you my friend, you are a better 'man' than I.
(and fellas, that is a saying, it is not meant to be taken literally, I am not a man. Start that shit up again and I’ll have you killed).

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Congrats!

I vote for your new tag to read: "King of Babies, Beer!".

 

[Dilbert]

Congratulations! We should have a big picnic for all the GAF kids in a couple of years. I'll spring for the giant, inflatable jump-around thing.

 

[Manics]

Hehe, thanks guys. Just as an aside, I have no control over the tag, I think I have a secret mod admirer or something as my tag has changed a couple of times. :lol
