Sooooo.

[shiney]

RaiRai is pregnant with my child.

How bout that?

[The Wandering God]

Congrats!

Do you want a boy or girl?

The Wandering God

[Great Cartoonist]

I wanted to type something else, but my hands wouldn't let me.

Parts of my brain just separated and drifted down to my hands, preventing them from typing the thing that I wanted to type.

[Kroze Gamegod]

Congratulations!

You have some long nights to look foward to buddy!

[Meister]

There we go, sign #7.

I got your back if you need help convincing Rai to name shiney junior anything 8BT-related. Y'know, Fighter, Red Mage, Meister, things like that.

[Kurosen]

Ewwwwwwwww.

[Flarecobra]

Congratulations you two. ^_^

[Brainmeats]

Congratz! Any ideas for names yet? and do you even want to know the gender early or do you want it to be a suprise on the big day?? just wondering.

[Astrobot7000]

You don't seem very happy about it

[Grievance]

Congrats...
Good luck with the kid...

[Fifthfiend]

I hope your first child be a masculine child.

I pledge my ever-ending loyalty.

[shiney]

Nope! This screaming infestation of the womb signifies the end of my life!!

I am certainly not happy about it*!!!

* Please note the appalling use of sarcasm.

[Akamaz]

gratz shiny... plan to look a lot like your avatar when it's born

oh yeah, and gratz to RaiRai too

[Fifthfiend]

On the plus side - if you pump the little parasite full of carrot juice, really early? You can turn its skin orange.

So that's something to look forward to.

Nope! This screaming infestation of the womb signifies the end of my life!!

If Rai somehow doesn't end up popping out some kind of human-Zergoid hybrid, I'm going to be extremely disappointed.

[RaiRai]

You guys are sick. Planning the demise of my little one before it's even born. For shame.

Now, does anyone know where I can get some cute little game orientated outfits from? >.>

[POS Industries]

Now, does anyone know where I can get some cute little game orientated outfits from? >.>

You're going to want to start here (http://www.jinx.com/scripts/products.asp?catID=20) and work your way up, I'd imagine.

Grats on the successful use of biology, by the way.

[Seeker]

Major congrats to both of you. I've got two and from my experience I can tell you that it's both the hardest and most rewarding thing you'll ever be a part of. So what are you guys hoping to have?

[Alynna]

Congrats to you both. I notice, though, you refer to it as YOUR child. I would assume that RaiRai also has partial ownership. Could be just me though.

Good luck and best wishes to all three of you. Sleep now while you have the chance RR ;)

[pictish]

Congrats ^^

So... how's this all worked out? Does the baby inherit full mod powers? Automatically enrolled into the perpetual motion guild? >.>

And yeah, not that it's much more than everyone already said but... best of luck.

[P-Sleazy]

From your answering the question of what gender you hope your future child to be, or lack there of, I'm gonna guess that neither of you want to fess up which gender you want so as to avoid dissappointing the other.

In related news, the father is the deciding factor in the gender of the baby.

[beatobur]

Although a thought like parenthood scares the ever living daylights out of me. I have to say that I find it highly respectable for other people to do.

I hear once you become a parent that you become immune to the magical effects of Baby Juice which turn you into a baby as well.

Enjoy your new immunity and have lots of fun. I expect with such upstanding nerdly parents that your child will be very well taught in the ways of the nerd.

[PyrosNine]

I have only two things to say. If it's a boy, name him Link. If it's a girl, name her Zelda. And if it can speak in latin and has scaly eyes, it's the end of the world!

[Mirai Gen]

Fuck.

He's spawning.

Seriously, however, words can't describe how happy I am for you guys. Just wait until Rai's giving birth, and breaking all of the bones in your hand. Screaming about how she hates all men. And especially you.

EDIT: Child gaming clothes? I don't know of any.

[Akamaz]

www.homestarrunner.com is having a sale on some of their baby clothes

[CelesJessa]

Awww congratulations Rai Rai and Shiney. Much luck with mother/father/parenthood!

[musicalmechanic]

Wow, babies. My condolences man, my condolences.

In all seriousness, if you like any of our designs, I can probably get them printed on baby-sized clothes. Consider it a baby shower present or something, won't cost you anything. You've been a mod here forever, and have always been fair. They don't cost me all that much, so I don't mind.

If your interested, check the "Need help describing a shirt" thread.

On a side note, Resident Pika baby clothes would pwn.

[BB]

So how soon before he or she becomes a moderator baby?

That would be really cool...

And congrats, hooray etc.

[Osterbaum]

Big grongatulations again to you both!

I know it's early, but; any name ideas?

I could help you out; Sami if it's a boy and Maija if it's a girl.

Then there's Osternkonzert. I know that's what I'm naming my kid some day (in the far away and distant future). It's great, cause it goes for both sexes.

[wazn]

Congrats. Enjoy the these next 9 months of peace while you can.

[Mesden]

Well, guess we won't be seeing Shiney nor Rai around here ever again in 9 months.

Let me first (Second) say that you have my fond wishes and support. And Secondly (Thirdly), I demand pictures, eventually. Demand! >.> <.< >.>

[RaiRai]

In all seriousness, if you like any of our designs, I can probably get them printed on baby-sized clothes. Consider it a baby shower present or something, won't cost you anything. You've been a mod here forever, and have always been fair. They don't cost me all that much, so I don't mind.

That is awesome, thank you so much!

Names? Yes. Emily if it's a girl and Alexander if it's a boy. Pretty basic, huh?

[Fifthfiend]

Well, guess we won't be seeing Shiney nor Rai around here ever again in 9 months.

I'm actually looking forward to some truly awe-inspiring 3AM Banpages, their level of fury and vehemence directly proportional to the amount of just won't shut the fuck up! Shiney Junior is getting up to.

[Mesden]

I'm actually looking forward to some truly awe-inspiring 3AM Banpages, their level of fury and vehemence directly proportional to the amount of just won't shut the fuck up! Shiney Junior is getting up to.

Either or, really. >.>

[Bells]

Hey!! Congrats!!

Dont forget to tell us if it is a ovelord, queen of the damn or Owl when you know it!!

And dont forget to check the Periodic Table for good names

[Setzer Gabbiani]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa.

You're saying there's no stork?

[RaiRai]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Whoa.

You're saying there's no stork?

God, I wish. He reminded me of the pain I'm going to experience only a couple of hours after we found out yesterday. Such a charming husband I have.

[synkr0nized]

Way to have sex.
Kudos.

[P-Sleazy]

If it helps, the younger you are when you have a kid, the less pain...atleast thats how it worked with my sister, whose had 1 child thus far. She's 22.

My sister didn't even know her child (my niece) came out when it did, she thought she was still in her when the doctor gave her the child.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Congrats to you both, and don't worry about using simple names, cos people only shorten them anyway! And who the fuck wants to be called Apple or some of these other absurd names people come up with nowadays?

Again, my congrats to you both.

[musicalmechanic]

That is awesome, thank you so much!

Sure, I'll IM you with some details. I think I have just the thing in mind actually...

[Toastburner B]

Blast it, the tempation is overwhelming...


http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/leapetra/players.jpg


As for the name choices, I salute you for going simple. It seems a lot of people nowadays seem to forget that the poor kid has to survive elementary school with the name you give them.

PS: I stumbled on this (http://www.jinx.com/scripts/products.asp?catID=20) while looking for that picture. It has some baby gamer clothes...mostly WoW stuff though.

[The Argent Lord]

Gratz to both of you. Nice, normal name choices, but that brings us to the real question: What'll the kid's forum name be?

[RaiRai]

What'll the kid's forum name be?

Bundle Of Goo.

[Deathosaurus Wrecks]

hooray for future nerdlings! be sure to have a photoalbum ready for "baby's first frag".

[Brainmeats]

Those are cute names~
So... when's the due date? September-ish....

[shiney]

That's about it. :B September-ish.

[xravi]

It should have a name that starts with a r or an x...........................

[Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope]

I would like to extend my deepest congrats to you guys. Rai Rai, Chiney, bets of luck to you both.

[Tydeus]

Congratulations on the living, squirming, growing organism living inside of Rai! Ooh, maybe it's multiple squirming, growing things. Hey, who knows, maybe you'll have qudruplets. Wouldn't that be fun!

Seriously though, that really is wonderful.

Since you've already gone as far as Alexander -- why not take the plunge and go for an uncommon, pretentious Greek name? Like, oh, I don't know, Patroclus? Hecuba? Sarpedon? Adromache? What about Astyanax? God, I can't believe I even suggested that last one. XP I'm a terrible person.

[Kitana Paladine]

Oh, CONGRATS!!! I'm so very happy for the two of you! And I also wish you all the best luck in the world, since raising a little is tough.

[Sky Warrior Bob]

God, I wish. He reminded me of the pain I'm going to experience only a couple of hours after we found out yesterday. Such a charming husband I have.

Well according to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_pregnancy), it is at least theoretically possible for a male to carry a baby to term. Depending on how far along your pregnancy is, you might be able to transplant the fertilized egg into an abdominal cavity. Shiney would also have to take female hormones, of course.

But hey, its for science!

Heck, I'd gladly contribute some funds towards this, and I bet a number of other forum goers would as well. Right guys?

Just be sure to bring this up the next time your hubby tries to be 'charming', if that doesn't shut him up I suggest you find & buy a copy of this (http://www.amazon.com/Court-TV-Lorena-Bobbitt-Documentary/dp/1572521554)and make Shiney watch it with you. Y'know, as a family thing. :)

SWB

[Loyal]

I bet you planned this, didn't you. One child just innocently comes along, but before long, you'll have enough of a baby army to officially overthrow Brian.

And then the world domination begins... You clever bastards.

Just kidding. Congrats, you two: It's so awesome to know that this little forum has brought together two people so perfect for each other that they have kids. ^_^

[Tydeus]

Just kidding. Congrats, you two: It's so awesome to know that this little forum has brought together two people so perfect for each other that they have kids. ^_^

*Tries to imagine a pregnant Shiney*

.... NOPE, I just can't picture it! Guess we'll all have to dig out the wallets and MAKE IT SO!

[shiney]

Sure, give us cash!! Give us cash!!

Lord knows we need it.

[Krylo]

No no no. What you really need are lessons on how to live without any sex or sleep for two to ten years.

[pochercoaster]

Woohoo. Congrats and good luck ^^

[Kroze Gamegod]

Bundle Of Goo.

I can see random bannings coming from that name in the future with the only reasons being "Temper Tantrum" or "Fifthfiend stole candy from me"...
You know he would do it too...

[Bells]

No no no. What you really need are lessons on how to live without any sex or sleep for two to ten years.

take it from someone who followed his own sister pregnancy... they will learn!

Hey! But please, enjoy the holidays and the summer! Probably will be the last ones you guys will have with freedom for the next 20 years! :D

But really... the periodic table... Jason? Everybody picks on "a" jason... But Rhodium? Nobody messes with Rhodium...

[Sky Warrior Bob]

Sure, give us cash!! Give us cash!!

Lord knows we need it.

Well, maybe you should add one of thow PayPal donnation buttons to your signature. You might also want to come up with some sort of cheesy product to go along with said donnation.

Some sort of photo maybe? (Just try to keep the dominatrix stuff to a minimum, do that on your own time, please.)

Or maybe you hold an auction for your forum name. Highest bidder gets to force you to change your name to Shiney-is-a-dork or whatever, for a month. Mod status for a day?

Be creative. Sure, it might not bring in all that much money, but a few bucks is a few bucks.

SWB

[Mr.Bookworm]

Go with the man-made elements. What kid wouldn't love being named Unununiam? Seriously, though, congrats.

Also, go here. (http://www.offlinetshirts.com/cgi-bin/ol/all/all.cgi/baby/baby)

No no no. What you really need are lessons on how to live without any sex or sleep for two to ten years.


You find time. Lord knows that I know.

[Ogianres]

I can see random bannings coming from that name in the future with the only reasons being "Temper Tantrum" or "Fifthfiend stole candy from me"...
Like father like son, eh?

*ahem*, congrats on finding the strength to stop doing the "woohoo" action and doing "try for baby", because the only way a child can be conceived is if the parents are trying... right?

And, as tempting as it may be to some, don't neglect your child's CHA score just to get him a high INT score, or he may suffer. Or the geeks will have taken over by then, and Int will be the new CHA and you don't have to worry about it at all.

[BlackMageGirl!]

0_o

Is EVERYONE I (slighly) know havin' kids these days?

Congratulations! You really want a girl. <<

[P-Sleazy]

Congratulations! You really want a girl. <<

No no no. What they REALLY REALLY want is this.

[greed]

Congratulations! You guys will be great parents, for one thing you're are great mods, so you've got a head start on the discipline thing that most of us don't have. I mean maturity wise the internet is not much below a small child. Just remember you can't IP ban children.

[Mr.Bookworm]

Um, what is wrong with that baby?

Also, ignore plain things like "boys" and "girls". Shoot for a hemaphrodite.

EDIT: Just remember you can't IP ban children.

You technically could. It would just result in murder charges being brought against you. Not that I know anything about those, of course. :shifty:

[P-Sleazy]

She's sleeping. Peacefully:D

EDIT: Oh and I point you to the person HOLDING the baby. Her grandmother, my mom. What they really want is that.

[Sir Pinkleton]

Congratulations, to both of you! May your little nubcake bring you much joy in the coming future.

[Fenris]

When she gives birth, you should totally create a new member on the forums, on the same day.

Also, congratulations! Enjoy torment and eventual mooching off their success and living your failed dreams through them!

This is great, I'm happy for you two.

[Demetrius]

Cigars!!

Congratulations you two, and despite fifth beating me to it; may your first child be a masculine child...

[Mondt]

Hope for a boy! If you bring it up nerd and it's a girl, you have to get girly things like make-up too! That is, along with video games and manga and all that nerd jazz.
Congrats, and all that! Seriously, I mean it!
They're money takers, I tell ya!

[ZERO.]

Congrats to the both of you!

May your first child bring you much happiness.

[Eltargrim]

It has begun.

I shall alert the others.

The Orici is here.

Jesus fuck I'm a Stargate nerd.

In all seriousness, congratulations! Go with Alexander, definately; shortens nicely to Alex. Plus, we could always use another for our legion.





All hail the Ori!

[mauve]

Congrats! That's so exciting!


I love your ideas for names; Alexander's a cute one. Although I've always thought you would name your first-born after Brian... (Works both ways: Brian or Brianna. C'mon, it's cool. ;) )

[Bells]

I can just imagine the emotional scars that this kid is going to have in 20 years when he shows up here and reads this thread...

[gurusloth]

Man, eight pages worth of people got here before me...I feel like such a bandwagon-jumper now.

Anyway, congratulations! Way to be virile/fertile. I would give you money, but I don't really have very much for myself, let alone anyone else.

Also, for name suggestions, I vote for Alexandra and Emile....just to be contrary.

[Melfice]

BABIES!
On Friday - December 15th, 2006 10:24:49 by Melfice

It has come to my attention that Shiney and RaiRai, both admins on the Nuklearpower Forums, have somehow managed to doom this world!

That’s right, RaiRai is pregnant!

Congratulations Shiney and RaiRai!
… make sure you keep that kid locked up though. I kinda like this planet, and there are a lot of things I still would like to do.

>_>

<_<

Such as producing offspring of my own. (Now THERE’S a horror if you ever read one…)

Congratulation you two!

[Tydeus]

In all seriousness, Hector is a pretty good name, if it's a boy. His middle name could be "breaker of horses." That, right there, is some cool shit. Plus it's not such a common name, without being weird or anachronistic.

Oh, is it OK to treat this as a baby-naming thread? Are you guys totally set? Am I just rambling for no reason because I'm jacked up on ADD medication (well within the bounds of my legally perscribed dosage, thank you. Amphetamine is amphetamine, people)? Seriously, though, Hector is a fucking awesome name. He's basically the most heroic hero to ever engage in heroism. Plus, then the name disposes him to being a literature nerd, on top of all the other kinds of nerd-dom into which he shall be indoctrinated. You could read him the Iliad as a bedtime story.

"And then Hector, son of Priam, prince of Ilium, husband of Andromache, father of Astyanax, and guy with generally a crapload of epithets, disembowelled Sarpedon, son of Zeus."

If decades' long war, egotism, and disembowelment doesn't just warm your heart right up, then I don't know what could.

[Meister]

Heck, I'd gladly contribute some funds towards this, and I bet a number of other forum goers would as well. Right guys?
Funds no, but gimme a scalpel and we're good to go.

[Nique]

That's cool.

I mean, the baby. The baby is cool - Not Meister with a scapel... That is not so cool.

I wonder - Shiney, will you be video-taping the process over the next 9 months? You know, Rai's tummy slowly balooning with the life of your beloved offspring... you two picking out baby clothes? Then maybe filming the birth? Then maybe youtubing it all so that we may share in your joy? I hear women in labor love having this, the most private and painful of life's moments, shamelessly filmed for all to gawk at.

[Osterbaum]

Names? Yes. Emily if it's a girl and Alexander if it's a boy. Pretty basic, huh?
I like Emily. I kinda like Alexander too. How about Olexander? Heh, sounds like a character from Asterix and Obelisk.

(Osterxander!)

[Flarecobra]

I think pictures would do.

[Fifthfiend]

I like Emily. I kinda like Alexander too. How about Olexander? Heh, sounds like a character from Asterix and Obelisk.

(Osterxander!)

Okay, you're never allowed to name a child, ever. Jesus fuck, why not just call him Swirlietarget McWedgiepants and be done with it?

Also, inasmuch as it's still up for discussion, but as far as names go - I'm pretty sure every boy growin' up at some point or another wishes his parents had been cool enough to name him Chainsaw.

Come on, you know it's true.

[Mashirosen]

Bucephalus. Bucephalus Ozymandias Rai-Shiney the First.

(But holy crap, seriously -- congratulations and all blessings, y'all two.)

[Seeker]

Alexander was actually what I wanted to name our second son but we compromised and it became one of his middle names (Filipino thing, don't ask and no I'm not Filipino my wife is).

You'd be amazed at how quickly either of those things can be accomplished.

B_real is right though parents are invaluable once the baby comes. They're so eager to see their grandchild that they don't care that you work them like slaves when they come over. Just make sure they bring meals with them when they do.

Slight problem. When the child is born, we're probably going to move to a different state. That means I'm half the world away from my own parents (in the UK) and a couple of states away from each of Shiney's parents. I'm pretty screwed. =D

[Fifthfiend]

Just find a couple of sufficiently confused old people and tell 'em it's their grandkid. And then shanghai them into slave labor.

I mean really you'd be doing them a favor, if you think about it.

[I_Like_Swordchucks]

Slight problem. When the child is born, we're probably going to move to a different state. That means I'm half the world away from my own parents (in the UK) and a couple of states away from each of Shiney's parents. I'm pretty screwed. =D

You can borrow my parents if you want. God knows I'm sick of them living within walking distance from me.

And before you think thoughts, I already tried moving once. They followed.

And congratulations. And never let Shiney make any of the decisions. Horrible things will happen if you do.

[Mike McC]

Am I the only one frightened by the prospect that Shiney is reproducing? I mean, I've talked with him. Lord knows what kind of things he's going to teach to this poor kid, conciously and inadvertantly. Rai, I have the feeling you're gonna have to watch him like a hawk when he's near the child, lest he teach the baby all about buttsex or something.

But seriously, congratulations to the two of you. I'm sure you'll make great parents.

[Mirai Gen]

Hey, like I said...

Mood-Swing-banification?

I mean... its like we having 2 Fifthfiends on the near future!

In short... oh fuck!

[Arlia Janet]

Aaaawwww. I'm so happy for your two.

I assisted my first child-birth a few months ago at school... it... it was an interesting journey.

Slight problem. When the child is born, we're probably going to move to a different state. That means I'm half the world away from my own parents (in the UK) and a couple of states away from each of Shiney's parents. I'm pretty screwed. =D

I'm no expert on this sort of stuff, but you should make it out okay. At least they can still give you verbal support, via phone. Right? Maybe? Perhaps?
It's like one of those choose your own adventures books.

Except real.

And not fake.

...Or nearly as dramatic or severe.

[batgirl]

Congrats and all that, and like I said, if you need an emergency birthing, I'm your gal.

But yea, I'm really happy for you two. Way to create a life.

[Sky Warrior Bob]

I like Emily. I kinda like Alexander too. How about Olexander?

No & just no.

Of course, if we do end up with an Alexander, I suggest we refer to him as Lex, as the evil buisness tycoon we know he one day will become.

SWB

[P-Sleazy]

I like Perpetua. It flows nicely and its one of those names that can't go either way. I dare you to find a guys version of that name to prove me wrong.

[Darth SS]

What's the matter with all of you people?

You're all treating this as a good thing!


Do you not realize what is at hand? It's the SPAWN of SHINEY!

It's going to fucking kill us all! KILL US ALL!!




Yay! Child!

[RickZarber]

So this is the kind of news that leaks when I don't go online for a week...

Wow. Congratulations, you two. I ain't got no witty remarks. Just... congratulations! http://i.imdb.com/Photos/CMSIcons/emoticons/basic2/cheers.gif

[Fifthfiend]

Do you not realize what is at hand? It's the SPAWN of SHINEY!

Seriously how does Rai keep getting like, no credit here?

[Krylo]

Seriously how does Rai keep getting like, no credit here?
Same reason those child of satan movies never called him "The child of..." well, I can't remember the name of that chick, but I mean, really, I can't think of a better allegory than that.

[Fifthfiend]

Well fuck, they gave Rosemary credit, didn't they?

[GARUD]

I have a feeling Shiney will be saying these things alot more here on in:
"S/he's calling for his mum."
"I changed him/her last time."
"Why me?"
"Kill me."
"S/He gets that from your side of the family."
"A dingo stole my baby." (wait, wrong person. Silly me, heh)

Ok, seriously, congrats on your new bundle of lyfe Shiney and RaiRai.

[mxyzptlk]

I personally can't imagine wanting a child, but congratulations on yours, this world is in dire need of intelligent people mating to counter all the pregnant 14 year-olds these days. Also thanks for giving hope to nerds, creating the illusion that they too might someday find love through this medium.

[Gamblid]

Congrats on having a child :)

[Novasol]

Am I the only one frightened by the prospect that Shiney is reproducing? I mean, I've talked with him. Lord knows what kind of things he's going to teach to this poor kid, conciously and inadvertantly. Rai, I have the feeling you're gonna have to watch him like a hawk when he's near the child, lest he teach the baby all about buttsex or something.

Honestly, I'm surprised Shiney finally found the right hole.


...



I'm banned now, aren't I?

[Satan's Onion]

Congratulations! You both function correctly. May your offspring encounter the same good luck ^_^ .

And I heartily approve the choices for names--elegantly timeless. Way to transcend naming fads!

[Major Blood]

So i was reading Rai's livejournal when i happened upon this line...

and John snatched the test away from me.

Are you normally in the habit of handling things your wife pees on shiney?

[Satan's Onion]

Also, I forgot to ask this before: Will there be a separate thread in which we can all offer you unsolicited and possibly useless parenting advice, or is this it?

[Mirai Gen]

Are you normally in the habit of handling things your wife pees on shiney?
I'm pretty sure this counts as the exception and not the rule.

I mean, progeny and all. That's a damn good reason to snatch something your wife pees on.

[Tydeus]

Of course, if we do end up with an Alexander, I suggest we refer to him as Lex, as the evil buisness tycoon we know he one day will become.

What, so, the baby is now ours? We, as the forum, collectively own it? There's definitely got to be some legal grounds for that argument, I mean, two mods, brought together by NPF -- obviously, without NPF, no baby, thus, all the same rights as the parents.

I can't wait to see what kind of adult the child will become afte being acclimated to society soley by the collective wisdom of NPF. *shudder*

What a....glorious? Day for the forum?

*Weeps*

[Osterbaum]

Okay, you're never allowed to name a child, ever. Jesus fuck, why not just call him Swirlietarget McWedgiepants and be done with it?
Oh, I haven't even started yet.

Also, inasmuch as it's still up for discussion, but as far as names go - I'm pretty sure every boy growin' up at some point or another wishes his parents had been cool enough to name him Chainsaw.

Come on, you know it's true.
Oh, I'm totally with this suggestion. Take it in to consideration. And if you guys don't like Chainsaw, call him (if it is a he) Moottorisaha.

We, as the forum, collectively own it?
It could be communism, taken to a whole new level.

[Meister]

No, if anyone owns it, it's Brian. And you know he's just going to sell the little tyke off to slavery to finance his Tau habit.

[Lady Cygnet]

Congratulations Rai Rai and Shiney! May you have a safe, healthy, and relatively pleasant pregnancy.

[Dular]

Hey how about a video of the conception to scar everyone here for life?

Nah just kidding. Happy pregnancy and safe birthin' to ya two.

I hope Shiney passes out at the birthing. That'd be hilarious.

[Sky Warrior Bob]

What, so, the baby is now ours? We, as the forum, collectively own it? There's definitely got to be some legal grounds for that argument, I mean, two mods, brought together by NPF -- obviously, without NPF, no baby, thus, all the same rights as the parents.

I can't wait to see what kind of adult the child will become afte being acclimated to society soley by the collective wisdom of NPF. *shudder*

What a....glorious? Day for the forum?

*Weeps*

I could refer to you as Ty-Dye, but it wouldn't make it your name. Similarly, members of the forum, could start referring to Alexander as Lex. (Assuming that it ends up being a boy, and they go with said name.)

Oh, but I suppose you weren't be serious...

SWB

[Tydeus]

Oh, but I suppose you weren't be serious...

SWB

Well, of course not.

It was more the "if we do end up with a boy" part anyway. Like, how does one "end up with a boy" without being the parent? Right? Or is that the crazy leaking out again? Damnit, where's that spackle....

[mauve]

Aw, come on. Everyone's voting for a boy here! You know what? RaiRai, Shiney, I hope you have a beautiful, healthy baby GIRL. Let's have a RaiRai Junior. Or... y'know... whatever the female version of "junior" is. Juniorette? Yeah. I'm voting for a juniorette.

A child raised collectively by the NPF would grow up warped and devoid of morals, and would somehow end up with a robot arm and a cybernetic eyeball that shoots lasers before he/she turns 14. You know it's true. So the bottom line is: Shiney, RaiRai? You know that old saying that "It takes a village to raise a child?" Yeah. You're gonna want to find a better village than this. XD

[GARUD]

You know it's true. So the bottom line is: Shiney, RaiRai? You know that old saying that "It takes a village to raise a child?" Yeah. You're gonna want to find a better village than this. XD

Hey, I hear Gaia is a great place for a child to learn the English language.

[bananarama]

Oh God! I feel so sorry for the poor tyke. The first words he/she will learn will probably be "You're banned!" But seriously congrats shiney and rairai. Here's hoping he/she will inherit the genes from the good part of the family (rairai's).

[Fifthfiend]

... Now that's not fair at all, he would totally have morals. Just, morals premised on a blanket justification for wreaking indiscriminate destruction with his bionic super-powers (http://www.theoldcomputer.com/Libarary's/Pictures/NESGameCovers/B/Bionic%20Commando.jpg).

[Nique]

... Now that's not fair at all, he would totally have morals. Just, morals premised on a blanket justification...

That portion of the sentance pretty much sums-up the basic conclusion of every single thread related to the topic of morality... Actually, you could probably leave that last bit in there and it would still work for like, 81% of the topics, probably.

Does anyone have any archived pics of shiney and Rai (I'm hoping no, actually, now that I think about it?) from the camwhore threads? We could take, like, a generic baby picture, and then use one of them new-fangled photo-merging programs to meld features from shiney and Rai's faces into the image... Then I guess be pretty scared of what we come up with? It should be good times had by all.

[Satan's Onion]

So you're proposing a Conan O'Brien-esque "If They Mated" thing here, Nique? Or, in this case, "Since They Mated".

[Bob The Mercenary]

A little late on the congrats, but congrats! :D

Whatever their real name ends up being, I demand you nickname them "chuzzle".

[Nique]

HAHA!

"I'm not wearing pants!"

"You never are :( "

[Mirai Gen]

That would make an interesting topic-starter.

"Oh wow, you're pregnant? How did that start?"
"We blame chuzzles."

[Nique]

That would make an interesting topic-starter.

"Oh wow, you're pregnant? How did that start?"
"We blame chuzzles."

I'm not sure I ever got in on the full story about 'chuzzles'. They are like candy or something? Or, I guess in current context, the anti-birth control?

A serious question for shiney and Rai, actually - And my asking this in earnest is really kind of an invasion of privacy, so don't feel obliged to comment, but was this pregnancy planned, or expected at all? I mean, you guys sound thrilled in either case, but I was just curious if this was something you guys were working towards... you know... Through sex.

[mammothtank]

I'm not sure I ever got in on the full story about 'chuzzles'. They are like candy or something? Or, I guess in current context, the anti-birth control?Chuzzle is this Yahoo game or something that involves sliding wrapping rows of brightly colored puffballs around in an attempt to line them up according to color, which destroys them. It's rather akin to Bejeweled, if you've played that. I'd find it and link to it, but I'm lazy.

[shiney]

It's like when people strive for peace, or fight for freedom...

We was fuckin' for babies.

If anyone suggests that I stated we was fuckin' four babies, you're so dreadfully banned.

[Fifthfiend]

Who do you think we are, Michael Crichton or something (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/14/books/14cric.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&oref=slogin)?

[Mirai Gen]

I thought he was going to say Michael Jackson, personally.

[Mike McC]

I thought he was going to say Michael Jackson, personally.No no no, MJ goes after boys. The only thing he does with babies is dangle them over ledges and balconies.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

No no no, MJ goes after boys.


*Cough* Allegedly *Cough*

[Mesden]

The Topic of Shiney and RaiRai's soon to be bundle of (anti)joy has now become about Michael Jackson.

Implications abound!

[Mirai Gen]

You can only congratulate a couple so many times - especially with people like Mes, me, Fifth, POS, Brave Fencer, shiney, and Nique commenting on it - before you start to poke fun at the subject in general.

[Scarmiglione]

Congrats on reproducing, and good luck staying sane!

[Chaoswizard]

How about Jordan for a name since it can be a boy or girls name.

[Mike McC]

You can only congratulate a couple so many times - especially with people like Mes, me, Fifth, POS, Brave Fencer, shiney, and Nique commenting on it - before you start to poke fun at the subject in general.I can't speak for the rest of you hosers fine young persons, but I bring nothing but class where ever I may go. So, I put forth that you must be mistaken.

Also, my name has no space in it there. Fool.

[POS Industries]

You can only congratulate a couple so many times - especially with people like Mes, me, Fifth, POS, Brave Fencer, shiney, and Nique commenting on it - before you start to poke fun at the subject in general.

How the hell did I get dragged into this?

[greed]

I think people just assume when a conversation goes from congratulations to pedophiles, you're involved somewhere.

On names I like Russel.

[POS Industries]

Nooooo, it's when the conversation goes from congratulations to bestiality that it's obvious I'm involved! Pay attention already.

And great names are "David", "Keville", and/or "Sedgwick". I would recommend using all of them in that order, myself. Even if it's a girl.

Know what? Especially if it's a girl.

[greed]

How stupid of me. So does that make me necrophilia?

On sadistic naming, I've always liked the idea of calling your kid Rover then getting a dog and calling it James/Jennifer just to really fuck them up.

[shiney]

Hey, this is supposed to be about mine and Rai's impending parenthood, please be disgusting elsewhere...

Honestly, you guys..

[Mirai Gen]

Hey, you said "Fuckin' for babies", we just kept that train runnin'.

[greed]

Seriously it's us, what did you expect? I figured you'd be hurt if we held back the madness, cause you know it wouldn't be honest.

[Mirai Gen]

He is right though. Steering back on topic:

Shiney, Rai, is this going to be your only kid or are you planning more than this?

[Tydeus]

He is right though. Steering back on topic:

Shiney, Rai, is this going to be your only kid or are you planning more than this?
Indeed. Is your plan to cultivate a single child, and simply concentrate all your dark powers in it, or to spawn a brood, so that they may overrun society, Zerg-style?

[Demetrius]

Bucephalus.

Isn't that the horse from Baron Maunchausen? That's kind of mean when you think about it.

Make sure you have the kid watch lots of subbed anime, it's great when the child starts speaking fluently in a different language and you have no clue what the heck they are saying.

[Nique]

You can only congratulate a couple so many times - especially with people like Mes, me, Fifth, POS, Brave Fencer, shiney, and Nique commenting on it - before you start to poke fun at the subject in general.

Hey, why is my name being dragged into... Oh. Right. Well, nevermind.

Make sure you have the kid watch lots of subbed anime, it's great when the child starts speaking fluently in a different language and you have no clue what the heck they are saying.

Or, like most toddlers, he/she will bather on in idiot baby talk excitedly... Only, with the anime watching, 'shiney-Rai-Juniorettawhatever', will holler loudly with both fists clenched for about a minute and a half, at which point shiney will unwittingly waddle over to his child to see whats wrong, and fall for the oldest trick in the book as 'baby-shiney' throws his little baby fists into his fathers crotch.

[Ravenfic]

Ah, another mouth to feed, a new child to join the many thousands we have now.

A word of advice: PLEASE RAISE YOUR CHILD SENSIBLY!!!!

We have all experienced how evil children can be. Saying nothing of your own, oh gracious moderator, I'm sure he/she/it will turn out to be utterly angelic, but I'm just sayin'.

[Sky Warrior Bob]

He is right though. Steering back on topic:

Shiney, Rai, is this going to be your only kid or are you planning more than this?

Isn't that a bit premature? I mean, wait until they figure out if they can manage to support one before jumping onto the baby making bandwagon.

And you don't know they won't end up with a pair right from the start, let alone more than that. (Of course, unless Rai & Shiney were resorting to fertility drugs, I think that unlikely.)

SWB

[J-Watt]

Wow. Congratulations are in order, I suppose.

So...

Congrats. I wish you the best on your parental journey-type-thing.

[Mirai Gen]

Isn't that a bit premature? I mean, wait until they figure out if they can manage to support one before jumping onto the baby making bandwagon.
"Are you planning...?" asks all of those questions in one stroke. So I suppose there's nothing wrong with asking.

I understand though.

[CrazyBen]

Sorry I'mlate to the party.

Congratulations, my high overlords. You now have an heir to your seat of power over my main form of social interaction.

Whatever you pick out for your kid's first and middle names, reverse them. Everyone' middle name is cool than their first name. I mean, Ben will prepare your taxes, but James will kick you in the head and make love to your girlfriend, WHILE drinking an entire bottle of Tequila.

Also, if you decide to have another one, don't do to the first what I realized Monday my parents did to me.

[shiney]

We are planning on more.

Worry not, the death of personal responsibility happened after we came into existence.

[Kitana Paladine]

Oh, I pray this is just a coincidence, but....

There must be something in the water, or something, since my best friend just found out she and her husband are expecting... Yay!

[Mondt]

Whatever you pick out for your kid's first and middle names, reverse them. Everyone' middle name is cool than their first name. I mean, Ben will prepare your taxes, but James will kick you in the head and make love to your girlfriend, WHILE drinking an entire bottle of Tequila.Where I agree that my middle name would be cooler than my first, my first would suck as a middle.

Just don't name your child Dylan. Ever. It's like Dillon, which is already bad, but worse. Why? Because people call you Dye-lawn.

[xravi]

Sing Ravdeep Bagri? my god. Thats is so cool. (Such a crappy middle name I have.)

[dementedmongoose]

First: Congratulations, belated though they may be, are in order. Kudos on the baby.

That said; shiney, I've said it before, I'll probably get banned for saying it on NPF, but I'll say it again. You. Should. Not. Breed. THAT said; I hereby wish you masculine sons, feminine daughters, and twins that can read one another's minds.

All the things I actually wanted to say aside, allow me to give you a blessing from my family's history: May your sons be fertile, and may your daughters be fair.
