Congrats!

Let's hope this isn't false whitness again *runs*

Actually watching Gladiator right now. Kizmet.


Sincere and hearty congrats to you, mon ami. I deal with many, many parents, obviously; I am reasonably certain that you are going to be an exceptional one.


And hooray! No cloaca!

[gkruCRi1]

Excellent news. Congratulations to you and the little lady.

[occallExtet]

He already enjoyed the ride. That's how they have a baby.

[PypeMaypetasy]

OK. Enjoy the memory of the ride.

[spamkillerj]

Congratulations
Are these weight and height numbers below average, average or above average?

Slightly above average; educated guesstimate, I'd say around 60th-65th percentile, off the top of my head.

Depends on how far along Femlok was, of course.

Congratulations!!! Lazurus Maximus indeed. Tell us the truth, you named him Albert Ben Kenobi.

[gactanync]

Please tell me you are joking about Lazarus Maximus.

[Discus]

No, the kid is not actually named after someone I only know online and an old Russell Crowe character. He got his names from the Biblical Lazarus (the revived one, not the beggar from the parable) and St. Maximus the Confessor. Sheesh.

His due date was actually tomorrow--he was almost precisely on time. And thanks for all the well-wishes, congratulations, and lewd jokes.

[RCQDnMp5]

This guy really named his child Lazarus Maximus

I can't congratulate him until I know he's joking about ****ing with this kid's life.

The name freaking rhymes

[reaciciomarep]

Give it a rest, Alby. It's better than using a last name as a first name. For instance, Drake.

Once again, congratulations, Elok! You are probably obligated by the laws of internet forums to post pictures asap.

[77rexulceme]

I don't understand why he would object to a name that rhymes with a middle name.

Lazarus is a perfectly good name.

The greatest thing about that choice is that you can predict what his school nickname will be.

Ultrazombie.

I agree with you on affirmative action being a ridiculous idea, but then, why not take advantage if you can?

Hispanic is not a race, hispanic is just being a Spanish speaker from Spain or a former colony of Spain. Néstor Kirchner, the ex president of Argentina (who died in 2010) was half Swiss half Croat, and no one would have considered him not hispanic. Peru had an ethnic Japanese president the whole 90s, Alberto Fujimori. In the USA you can see that many dominicans and porto ricans are heavily black, while many of the Mexicans are close to being native americans. Hispanic is not a race, so he can claim to be one.

You don't even know what zero sum game means.

[dianakroshXX]

Why, thank you, Al!

[Angelinaaiiiiiiiii]

The greatest thing about that choice is that you can predict what his school nickname will be.

Ultrazombie.

Possibly. We liked that it offered him both "Laz" and the more conventional "Max" as names to go by for short. My wife was vaguely, but not really, tempted to call him Neon Turbo Maximus, which sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon but is actually the names of three Greek saints.

[Karinochka]

Er, why not?

You want to be the one to start a life-long obsession?

[pavilionnotebook]

Oh, it's a dumb aspie joke. I was thinking it was a reference to his name(s) somehow.

My name is Lazarus Maximus Elokus...
