hella busy weekend here. went to see "V For Vendetta" on friday with eatmybabies, bringherheart and the wife. Good movie. Natalie Portman did a great job. And still looks hot bald.
Saturday, we went to Luciano's Restaurant in Wrentham with my parents. Needless to say, we were all wayyy underdressed. They sat us way in the back in a corner. Whatever. The food was killer. I'd definately go back.
Today we went to a "Baby Safety Clinic." or so the pamphlet said. I thought it would just be a scam to get us to buy something, but we went anyway, to try to get our "$100 worth of free prizes!!!" Unfortunately, i was right in thinking it was a scam. From the first word out of the guys mouth, he was pitching the "BabeeTenda Crib and HighChair Set".
For two hours (!) we listened to this guy babble about this fuckin chair, and how much other products sucked and would kill your child instantly. I looked around the room, hoping to find anyone else who thought this was bullshit, but all i saw were suckers chomping at the bit to buy this crap. The only thing that kept us there was the promise of "$100 Worth of FREEE PRIZES!!!" yeah, um, turns out it was a coupon book for $100 bucks off the BabeeTenda highchair. 
I wasn't really that upset, since it turned out to be exactally what i thought it would be. And it provided a bunch of laughs for the way home. But people were actually lining up to plop down a thousand bucks on the spot to order this chintzy piece of crapola. Because you can't buy it in stores or order it online...you can only get it at these fly-by-night baby seminars. And you had to pay then, to get your "Exclusive Discount." It never ceases to amaze me that there truly is a sucker born every minute. And there were about 20 suckers in that room with checkbook in hand. I'm sure i'll see this product on Dateline NBC one of these days.
