I only just worked out the pun in this thread's title.

Job McYossie 03-25-2015 11:05 PM

I am ashamed of you, Nate.

Bullet Magnet 03-26-2015 05:07 AM

The kid should be named after Nathan. Slowpoke.

OANST 03-26-2015 06:02 AM

That reminds me! I got all excited, and went to the Double Fine store, ready to order the Mr. Pokeylope onesie for our upcoming baby, and....... they don't sell it anymore. And I can't even find it on ebay. That made me sad.

Tim has betrayed you and your child. I bet he won't be the godfather now.

Bullet Magnet 03-26-2015 09:50 AM

He'll be demoted to the weird uncle they never see until he dies and leaves them a spooky old mansion in his will on the condition that they spend one night within its walls.

I will expect the full experience to be live-tweeted.

OANST 03-26-2015 10:23 AM

He'd better leave me Maniac Mansion.

Can I be Laverne?

Whatever you do, don't ask to be the hamster.

MeechMunchie 03-27-2015 05:52 AM

Have you considered calling your child Purple Tentacle

OANST 03-27-2015 06:34 AM

It's a thought!

We've actually narrowed it down to eight names, for now. Well, that's if it turns out to be a girl. She's pretty convinced that we're having a girl.

Bullet Magnet 03-27-2015 06:36 AM

How does that work?

OANST 03-27-2015 07:08 AM

Pregnant women get..... superstitious. She dangled her engagement ring over her belly, and it swung side to side. Girl. She peed in a cup of baking soda, and it didn't fizz. Girl. I have a feeling we'll be trying some more back woods witchery pretty soon!

MeechMunchie 03-27-2015 08:51 AM

Ooh, have her piss on some wheat and barley seeds. Apparently if the barley grows it's a boy, and if the wheat grows it's a girl. It's what the ancient Egyptians did.

OANST 03-27-2015 08:59 AM

She'll probably be excited to try that!

Varrok 03-27-2015 12:19 PM

Put TV near the belly and play some boy and girl tv programs and check when the baby cries and when not.

STM 03-27-2015 02:06 PM

Bit late but if it's a boy, Connor for sure.

When my sister was pregnant for the first time, 100% of known psychics using various techniques (including crystal swinging pendulum) predicted it was going to be a boy. Nope.

Yeah.... I mean, I know none of that makes a difference. But she's happy thinking she's going to have a girl, and have you ever tried to tell a pregnant woman that something that she wants to be real doesn't actually work? Especially when that something has to do with the baby growing inside of them? Man, I wouldn't get laid for a year. Probably longer if it turned out to be a boy!

Honestly, I'm sure she doesn't really believe in these things. It was just something fun for her to do, and she wants a girl, so she was happy with the results. I want a girl, too. Girls are fun for dads.
