    With due respect, Jeff, how can a man with a new child feel unappreciated?  For gods sake, man, haven’t you discovered the ease with which you can entertain a small child?  Make burping noises, funny faces, blow rasberries on their belly….pretty much any stupid, nonsensical noise works. 

    My god, it’s like entertaining a Moveon.org crowd.

    Avail yourself of the worlds best audience.  Play with your kid.

    Jon—I’d just spent a half hour consoling him and trying to get him to take his nap.  That, coupled with the names I’ve been called in the past 15 hours or so led me shoeless into the air ducts of Nakatomi.

    But I’ll be fine after I mess with my Deadbeat neighbor later today.

    What, no Hart Bochner reference?

  4. Jon Henke says:

    Ah, one of those days.  Yes, that I can relate to.

    I keep a “Kid for Sale” sign in the attic.  Just in case. 

    Well, he’ll appreciate you later…though, unfortunately, there doesn’t appear to be any arbitrage effect on one’s feelings due to this knowledge. 

    Forebearance, my friend.  And fortitude.  And, while you’re at it, four beers.

    “Hey, babe, I negotiate billion dollar deals for breakfast.  I think I can handle this Eurotrash.”

    There’s your Hart Bochner reference.

    You missed the best part of the whole movie:

    “Hans, buh-bie…”

    Babies are supposed to be be all about themselves, but you knew that. Namecallers—Sticks and stones, brother. Sticks. And. Stones.
