Well, How Cool Is That?
By Mitch Berg
One of the many pleasures of last Saturday’s MOB party was the formal debut of the MOB’s first baby, “Baby Moose”, who is the child of Hammerschwing Ben and Mall Diva, who – this is the funny part – met at a MOB event.
As befits the child, nephew and grandchild of bloggers (the grands are Night Writer and The Reverend Mother from the eponymous Night Writer blog), it’s perhaps fitting that the kid’s already got a blog, at three weeks old.
And the little guy’s tripped into an eternal truth; you really gotta read the label:
example, I’m discovering that many words look and sound the same, but that meaning can change based on context. I’ve also learned that something that looks or sounds good in writing might not be as appealing in practice. For example:
Ok, “butt paste” sounds kind of gross, but it feels SO good. “Butt rub” sounds as if it would feel good, but — trust me — it’s not the same. Why would they even take a chance of confusing someone like that?

Kid might be a shoe-in for the next MOB mayoral race.
Well, he’s a lot more prolific than Roosh is lately. That’s a hint, by the way.

Gotta love a product called “Butt Paste!”

Baby Moose is a uniter, not a divider, and is totally committed to hope and change. That is, he represents true hope and is really, really into change right now.

Our kids have taken to calling the paste “butt crack.” No idea why, but it’s still funny. By the way, the best stuff out there is Triple Paste. It ain’t cheap, but it’s worth every penny.
