   I tried all 5 styles of parenting. I prefer the wishy-washy style. But if you think I should try something else, I could, I guess. Whatever…

    Yes, I should have said “cyborg chicken” to avoid copyright infringement. I hope we see it again, regardless.

    Very cool to see where the spark of an idea came from. That would be interesting to see, some examples of how the ideas came to you, a la The PreHistory of The Far Side-10th Anniversary Exhibit, or you may have already done some things like that on here.

    Uninvolved is cheapest, and ultimately less traumatic than the cyborg route…but I do like to show up for bedtime stories 🙂
