More on the bullying: after listening to my fellow monsters and a little soul searching I came out to a select group of friends yesterday. While all were very surprised, they were even more understanding. I feel like such a weight has been lifted off my chest and I feel more confident now than I have in years, I’d just like to thank you guys for encouraging me. |

Hey monsters! Those of you who follow me on Twitter or Facebook already know, but as of yesterday, I’m now a father! Mom and baby are doing great. Elizabeth Rose was born April 28 at 2:34 p.m. weighing 6 lbs, 10 oz and was 20.5 inches long. Birth is terribly strange. There is something primal and alien and weird about how this tiny person, frantically waving her blue hands covered in red slime, slid headfirst from a groin into a crowd of smiling strangers. I could smell her being born–she smelled of blood and something else, sweet and anciently familiar. The baby was tethered to mother by a gnarly gray cord, which her happy weeping father cut. Then she bawled and bawled and people vigorously rubbed her down with rough towels and handed her to a beaming mother. Strange and wonderful. I don’t know if I’m making sense. I’ve slept six hours in three days.

[Ed. note: Last week's Monsters' Ball comment thread was really something special. Congratulations, werttrew. Congratulations, Son Of Gabe. Congratulations, EVERYONE. Maybe I'm wrong, but I felt like it had been awhile since the community had really embraced itself, and it's always nice to see. No joke. LOL. No joke, though.]

[Ed. note: Good one, teacherman. Also, close call, teacherman. You came very close to having your IP address banned by pretending to be someone being mean to you. Guys, please don't make up a whole string of fake commenter profiles. It's against the rules, it's annoying to monitor, and it will result in you getting kicked off the site, even if it was just a silly fun joke. Thanks!]

[Ed. note: This is a very good (very bad) impersonation of a Jay Leno joke about the death of Osama Bin Laden. Oh, sorry, SPOILER ALERT Osama Bin Laden is dead. How does it feel to get out of that coma?! (Badump. FRIDAY!)]

Geez, childbirth, coming out, looks like you need to do life altering stuff to get recognition around here. Well I made a salad with 4 kinds of lettuce.
I’ll make sure you get in The Monster’s Ball if you tell me if Elvis or the Shark won.
I have 50 bucks on Elvis.
Elvis won, he jumped the shark.

I was thinking I’d start a bunch of bogus accounts and upvote his comment with them ala ihatetacherman.
Or her #sexist
I bet it was one of teacherman’s students and the school’s ip address. The teacherman I know would never do this.
Incidentally, I would probably do something like this, but once you get Monster Plantation fanfiction written about you by the site’s most bewilderingly embraced troll, you don’t need fake haters.
This…actually happened?
More than once.
There’s always the more sinister alternative: Babyfriday.
JK.. I hope.
It’s just so hard to know how to interpret all the complex rules and regulations of blog commenting. Especially the one about how if you can’t pretend to be somebody else saying anything nice about yourself then you’ll be forever banned from saying anything at all.
um, did his comment mean something in code? i didn’t get it. and i’m afraid to google it b/c i’m at work.
TL; DR : Too Long; Didn’t Read
I missed Daddy wertrew’s announcement last week.
Belated congrats!
Yes, werttrew
Good week everyone. Now let’s boogie!
oh can we please have this GIF every friday?
aw hell, apologies for the double gif!!
I thought it created a nice effect.
This gif makes me want to fondle my sweaters.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Commenting fail! *runs away crying*
Thank you kindly, good sir.
Wow, thanks you guys! As what is likely to happen when you tell a group of 13 year olds that you are gay my friends narced on me and now my entire school knows I’m gay. Mostly it hasn’t been that bad though other than a group of seventh graders who yell “faggot” and “cockgobbler” everytime I pass them in the hallway. This doesn’t bother me though because I’ve never had a problem with the word faggot and cockgobbler is hilarious! I’m thinking about changing my username from Son of Gabe to cockgobbler.
How about Gobbler of Cock?
Pictured: Cock and Gobbler.
Are you sure you aren’t a cockgobbler? 7th graders tend to know their stuff…
gobbling cock? #youredoingitwrong
Rob Crow (of Pinback, Thingy fame) has a metal side project called Goblin Cock.
“Thanks!” – No One
Yeah, but… you told them about how popular you are on the Internet, right? And then they stopped the name-calling and hoisted you up on their shoulders and now you’re the class president? If not, you should probably tell them.
But seriously, fuck those kids. Not literally though, that probably wouldn’t help your situation, and then I would definitely go to jail for suggesting it.
I always imagine a disgusting chimera of a rooster and a turkey.
Oh dear. My brain went from cockgobbler to cock cobbler, and now I have a mental image of a sugary, baked penis dessert covered with pastry. Finals week is warping me.
Or a guy making shoes for penises. Or worse a man making shoes out of penises.
SPOILER ALERT: 7th graders are assholes.
You know what’s great? (Besides the term cockgobbler. I mean, really, that’s some fantastic mastering of the English language right there. And owning it within a week? You’re well past boys becoming men and full on into men becoming wolves in the great scheme of werewolf bar mitzvahs.) And by coming out, you totally helped other kids in your area feel better and safer to be themselves, regardless of what their “secret” is. I guarantee you’re a hero to at least 3 or 4 people who feel shut out for whatever reason. Plus, you took a lot of power away from potential bullies and that’s just badass.
I didn’t come out til I was 23 mostly because I was unwilling to admit to myself how gay I am. (And good lord am I gay!) I completely applaud your courage and self awareness! Good luck with those asshole teenagers! Remember that being honest with yourself is the best thing in the world.
Eeee! Congrats, Son Of Gabe.
I’m just a TEENY BIT jealous of you stealing my young queer thunder (no one on Videogum is allowed to be more precocious than me NO ONE.) But for realzies that is so great. I came out to my mom last summer and it was the happiest day of my life, no joke. I cried tears of joy. It was while watching Dirty Dancing. Good times.
It’s amazing how it feels like a giant weight’s been lifted you didn’t even know was that heavy. And now it’s gone!
God damn it, you guys are the best. It’s been a really rough day to the point that seeing Son of Gabe’s and Werttrew’s comments again almost has me crying. Which is RIDICULOUS.
Someone hit me with a string of gifs of people having fun STAT.
That is actual footage of Werttrew’s baby being born. You can see the cord there on the bottom of the screen. If you go real close you can smell something sweet and anciently familiar. Granted that could just be my breath.
Close? Close. GLITTER!
Bria, I mean this with the utmost sincerity: I think you are the glitteriest person I’ve ever e-met.
Ugh, I’m going to be finding glitter on my desktop for months.
needs more justified? needs more justified!
Happy Friday!
Happy early Mother’s Day!
How will I live until next season?
Forgive me, Videogum, but this song is stuck in my head and I simply must spread this ear-disease:
Come to me, cover me, hold me. Together we’ll BREAK THESE CHAINS OF LOOOOOOVE.
Hey gang, that was a fun week (excluding the Osama stuff, yikes!). I hope you all enjoy the Fringe finale as much as I hope to (50/50 chance, really).
Hey everybody! ThisIsMyNightmare wanted to remind any southern/Louisiana monsters that we’re having a New Orleans meet up soon! May 14, to be precise! So everyone, stay tuned via twitter/ MOBFD for some deetz. Let’s all have a weekend as awesome as this corgi .gif
Last night I dreamed that a friend of mine wanted me to cat sit for her but she was keeping her cats in my parents house across the country. I had to commute all the way. I get there and she is also keeping some baby possums in my parents laundry room. I have to burn the kitty litter outside, but I have to somehow get out of the house without letting the baby possums escape. They rush the door behind me but I close it in time, keeping them inside. I prepare to burn the kitty litter in a BBQ grill filled with logs. Before I can start the fire, I have to first treat the logs with chicken broth. I pour a bucket of chicken broth all over the logs, but then realize that I neglected to soak the logs in kerosene first. I don’t know how I’m supposed to start the fire now, especially since all the matches in the box of matches are all burnt, previously used matches.

I just wanted to reiterate my extreme (DORITOS EXTREME!1!!1!) disappointment that Canadians cannot watch the magic that is Gabe and Max. If someone happens to find it somewhere else, hook a brother up eh?
just watch tosh point o instead or web soup, same diff
But it’s like the Old Dutch Ariba’s to Frito-Lays Doritos or the Lays Stax to Pringles: They’re both good, its just nice to have the variety!
Son Of Gabe came out to his friends and werttrew had a baby, that’s fantastic! Congratulations to the both of you!
It was truly the week of people coming out of something.
(And yeah it’s great)
You guys, I’ve never been in the Monster’s Ball. I fell really bad about it. Can we change that this week?
Thanks for your patronage!
I haven’t read all the posts, so I don’t know if this has been covered yet, but did anyone else have a lot of problems with the site this week? Today I could only see the main page but not click through to the actual posts (404 errors), and earlier this week I got some kind of badware warning from Firefox, blocking the site. Just thought I’d mention it. (I’m sure the webmaster really appreciates problems being mentioned AFTER they’ve been fixed.)
I had the same problem Lakonislate. Google kept warning me about malware and because of that I wasn’t let onto the site.
