My Milk Toof

When I was young, I placed my baby teeth under my pillow and when i woke up I'd find a shiny new quarter. But whatever happened to those little teeth? Where did they go? Would I ever see them again?

Many years later, a little tooth was standing at my door. It looked familiar. Its name was ickle. Welcome home, my milk toof!

So begins the story of My Milk Toof, a picture-blog about two teeth going on adventures. It's super cute. ^_^

MARU!

SPEAKING of Capucha, it's thanks to her that I saw the recent Maru video.

Maru has always been a cute cat, but MAN, this is a new level: Show/Hide

Gameboy Girls

(via, with a few more pictures)

Actually, I didn't get why everyone was saying this was so cute, until I saw that one was moving while the other pressed the buttons.

TEAMWORK!

Party Cat

If by some accident, I haven't made you read this yet:

Here is a page with the rest.

A Challenger Appears

Gosh there are a lot of videos of cute kids on the Internet. Thomas already mentioned Capucine, and now there's Nina: Show/Hide

I like how he is speaking to her in English, and she is responding in Japanese. ^_^ Kawaii!

Romantische

Der Schlangemann has reminded me of a romantic tip (via The Sneeze [same tip as last year]).

A long time ago when my wife was my girlfriend and we were LIVING IN SIN, a tradition was born. I'd like to now share it with you all.

I came home from work one day and found her in front of the computer. I said "Hello," and she barely grunted back. I don't even think she looked up.

Half-jokingly I responded, "Okay, we're gonna try this again." I walked out the front door and came back in a few moments later...

"STEVIE'S HOME, STEVIE'S HOME!!! YAY!!!" was the new over-the-top cheer I was greeted with. It was accompanied by a hug and kisses. And I loved it.

What began as a joke quickly became an ongoing practice that continues to this day in our house: The person who is home first must make a small fuss when the other person gets there.

Does it sound silly? Yes. Do I promise that it will set the tone for a nicer evening just about every time you do it? Yes.

The world is full of douchebags, guys. Take 3 seconds out of your precious day to make a fuss over each other. Do it like you mean it. Do it as a goof. Just do it a lot.

I'm promise you'll be glad you did.

And THAT reminded me of the "I Love You Today" game in my family. The game is simple: whomever says "I love you today" first, wins. That's the whole game.

Well, actually that's not all, as there are variations. "I love you this year" for example, but that doesn't come up too often. ^_^

While playing it every day is the goal, if you run into someone you haven't seen for a while (that you play the game with), it's fun working it into the conversation before they remember.

A: Oh, guess what?
B: What?
A: I love you today.
B: Damn it!

You can add variations of the rules (no saying it right after midnight, etc), but the real point is just to say "I love you" every day.

Is it cheesy? Yup. And silly, and kind of goofy. But, like Steve's tip, it does make a difference. ^_^

(Says the single guy...)

3rd Cutest

My Internet travels have lead me to the third* cutest kid on the planet (and possibly a future dictator):
