Bad Moms Aren't Afraid To Make Risky Landscape Design Choices

Why wouldn't you want an almost life size Tyrannosaurus Rex for your backyard? My daughter would think I was the best mom ever if I let her put a huge dinosaur statue in our non-existent yard. My husband would be kind of excited, too. My neighbours - all of those over the age of fifteen, anyway - probably a little less so.

But even if they didn't like it, owning an 11 foot tall dino statue would all but guarantee that you would be the coolest parent on the block (unless someone has an in ground pool, in which case you may be out of luck. That said, this almost certainly trumps an above ground pool, and also a trampoline.)

Bad Moms Love Babies And Lasers And Also Laser Babies

I am a child of the 70's. Well, technically, I was born in the 60's, but to be fair the decade was over before I started eating solids.

Anyway.

Based on my completely unscientific and totally biased research I declare that children of the Seventies love all things space related, especially lasers. Which - along with my love of babies, especially those of the alien-demon-spawn variety - explains why I really have been grooving on this site:

I'm Going To Punish You (That's What She Said)

First there was the nine year old boy who was threatened with detention for bringing a two-inch toy gun to school.

Then there was the girl who was handcuffed and carted off to the police station for doodling on her desk with erasable pen.

Now there is Dalton Duncan, the boy who was sent to detention for having a humourless teacher.

Bad Moms Love CSI: Miami, And Aren't Afraid To Dress Their Babies Up To Show It

This family is awesome, but really? I think that if it came to a Horatio-off, my kid would totally have them beat.

They get points, though, for including David Caruso in their installation. Mine only references David Caruso. That said, mine has video:

Bacon And Maple Syrup Sandwiches And Beer Nog, All Around!

Well, it took us a few weeks, but we finally did it, just in time for the Olympics: we've made that list that we promised. You know the one: the awesome one! The Mapletastic Awesome List Of Canadian Mom Bloggers Who Would Totally Be Gold Medal Olympians If There Were An Olympics Of Blogging! Go Team Canada!

You can find it over here, on its very own special page, with its very own special button. And if you think that we've overlooked anyone - there was some repetition in the comment suggestions, which is great, because it demonstrates how passionate you are about your favourite Canadian mom blogs, but also lends itself to confusion, when the sorting of said suggestions is being done by bad moms with tired eyes, so - please let us know, and we'll do a Team Canada Mom Bloggers list supplement to include anyone we overlooked or forgot or just plum weren't aware of. This is Canada. We're inclusive.

Go, check it out, and pay everyone a visit. And pass the bacon and maple syrup sandwiches.

(Psst, hey, random aside: if you'd like to help us do some more Canada-boosting, vote for our Room Of Your Own Panel at BlogHer, so that we can talk all things Canuck and blogging and beavers and awesome in New York this summer. We'll bring the bacon.)

To Be, Or Not... I'm Sorry, What Is The Question? Toddler Soliloquies, FTW!

Brian Cox, actor with the Royal Shakespeare Company and famous for his portrayal of King Lear, runs lines with his equally talented understudy.

I'd watch that kid do Shakespeare and I bet I'd stay awake for the entire performance.

Meep In The Wind: Bad Moms Love Beaker

Beaker is like the Rodney Dangerfield of The Muppets: he just can't get no respect. No respect at all.

For example, the Internet feedback on this video. This is exactly why I fear posting videos of myself on YouTube:

Hipsters 2: I Can Has Herzog?

Unhappy Hipsters - that website that we totally ambivalently love - has spun of into LOLcat territory with - wait for it - hipster puppies.

YouTubeorama Aloha Edition: Bad Moms Like Banjo Duos

Finally, a banjo duo that doesn't conjure up flashbacks of Deliverance for me.

Sorry. I have some really bad cultural references.

Anyway. This video has it all -- crotched cute critters, banjos, Hawaiian-inspired music -- therefore it will be on heavy rotation in this household today.

Saturday Morning Cartoons: Bad Moms Love Fake Werner Herzog

Remember Werner Herzog reads Curious George?

Herzog (not really) is back at it again and this time it is the childhood classic Mike Mulligan And His Steam Shovel.
