I may well be cane-shaking here, but is anyone else just a bit worried about the MASSIVE SENSORY OVERLOAD being done to this infant? (Yah, I'm probably just trying to get kids off my lawn.)
True. I did say I might have been cane-shaking. 8)
(Mind you -- I'm not sure we should take "hey! this is no worse than kid's TV", doesn't mean that it's OK... it could also mean that kid's TV is also the neurological equivalent of Fruit Loops immersed in Redbull...)
It is the equivalent of fruit loops immersed in redbull. Have you seen Tellytubbies? Consciousness alteration had to be involved somewhere along the line.
Viktor Haag Fair. My main point is you can probably do a pretty terrible job parenting and still have your children become upstanding well adjusted adults.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
From Voyageurs National Park on FB: Called “Catamaran” by locals, Bert Upton is among the strangest of historical characters on area waters. He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned. Surviving on snared rabbits and fish, he ofte...
Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
That is hilarious. =)

ReplyDeleteI doubt the kid is actually watching the preview.
ReplyDeleteIf you look at the light on the kid's face they are definitely not watching the clips below. The light and dark don't match up.
ReplyDeleteThe internet has rendered me utterly unwilling to talk about parenting issues with, like, anyone.
ReplyDeleteViktor Haag Children television is also colourful and bonkers. Children are pretty hardy, and can survive all sorts of dumb stuff.
ReplyDeleteTrue. I did say I might have been cane-shaking. 8)

ReplyDeleteStar Wars was good enough for me when I was a baby (2 and a half anyway) so it's good enough for my babies.
ReplyDeleteRamanan S Yes, you can. Thank goodness, otherwise, we'd really all be at each other's throats.
ReplyDeleteCasey G. I hadn't noticed that the light on the baby's face didn't match the light in the preview: I just went right at the suggested apposition.
I'd like to be that excited about ANYTHING.
