This Just In: I'm Going On Maternity Leave!


(The stork preparing to deliver a bundle of both joy and racism in Disney's dated and off-putting 1941 classic, "Dumbo.")

I am very pleased to report that over the holiday weekend our family welcomed a brand-new human child.  This means we now have eighteen (18) children, or two (2), depending on how you count.  This also means that I'll be exercising my contractually guaranteed right to maternity leave (the Blogger's Union fought long and hard for this), and will hereby be extending my absence to Monday, January 26th, at which point I'll resume regular updates.

That should be enough time to trade in the Big Dummy for a bakfiets:



Or else just a Canyonero.

In the meantime, thanks for indulging my absence (or, if you choose not to grant me indulgence, you know where you can stick your lack thereof), and I look forward to seeing you back here on the 26th.

Sincerently,


--Wildcat Rock Machine

    I hope mother and child are resting comfortable.

    And you will find the parental work load from 1 to 2 goes up at least 4 times.

    2 to 3, and you and the misses have to drop back into a zone.

    More then 3, just give up and start drinking.

    I think it goes one child changes your life, two makes you organized, three makes you wonder what the fuss was all about I never went to level three. Daddy made a trip to the vet.

  10. ya know, when my kids were born I didn't take a brake from blogging. Of course I did take a break from the job that I had, so whatevs. Maybe now is a good time to add to your wealth by designing a line of BSNYC clothing for infants and toddlers. Maybe some pastel, gender neutral colorways.

  12. Congrats Mr Snob.

    What, no cigars?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Hey Congrats Old man!

    No problem on the no cigars. I gave up burning the tobacco so I'll puff my nicotine vaporizer in the kid's honor.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Congratulations!
    My daughter is pregnant and I'm getting schooled on how much things have changed in the raising-baby thing.
    The stroller we used cost maybe 14$ and folded up like an umbrella. When the kid slumped over we stuffed towels around him/her to make him/her upright.
    When they were cranky or when Mom and I wanted some alone time, we'd put them in the dryer.
    Seemed to work just fine.
    Good luck, happy for your and your Bride.
    Best wishes.

  17. Yay!! Contratulations, Mr and Mrs, and WELCOME, little tiny baby Snob! That's great news... enjoy your family time, Snobi Wan!

    Didja get a present for the other seventeen kidlets "from the baby?" Mine had such a gap between 'em, it would have been silly, but they say it works a charm.

  18. Congrats to all! And isn't it paternity leave, not maternity? Well, either way in just a few short years you have another person to make caps and jerseys in your sweatshop...er, basement.

  26. DB,
    You SHOULD NOT put babies in the dryer.

    FYI the bakefiets link has one nice Scandanavian MILF image on it.

    It's something.

  27. Congrats to you sir.

    Very surprising that after all the bikeen and all the sitting on your ass that you'd have any swimmers left.

    well, good luck with all them there chi'dr'n. better you than me. i love them for about 30 minutes max and then immediately want to hand them back to their owners.

    maybe i AM a robot and just dont have this human "emotion" like real people.

  28. congrats snobbie

    i see many good names suggested.

    congrats to your daughter too. you find it is fun even if you find those car seats to now be hundreds of dollars more than you spent (if you actually had car seats) and impossible to work.

    but what they say about doting grandparents is true. they are all fools. but they have their revenge. the first blow up thing that was large enough to take over princess' living room was great. like a ball pit. even better was buying several hundred extra balls for it.

    just wait till the urchin get to Lego age.

  30. We had a car seat, but it'd definitely be illegal now.
    I recall my car seat growing up.... My Mom would slam on the brakes, fling her cigarette out the window and swing her arm across my chest to keep me from flying through the window.

    Congratulations Mr. + Mrs. Snob!

    I hope you got her a nice push present (as I've heard them described!).

    Funny scene in Paddington Bear (don't ask me how I know this!) when the father to be brings the wife to the hospital to deliver and when he picks her up a couple of hours later. With kiddies, you will see this I'm sure.

    Best of luck, I am going to use the subway that I do not own.

  32. So, you've been doing more than just pedling your biek, eh?
    You'll be breastfeeding this one too?
    BABY #TWO

    ReplyDelete
  33. Congratulations.
    The second child is easier in many ways because most of the experiences are old hat. However, no two children are alike, so you'll probably be in for some adventures.

    ReplyDelete
  34. The baby's name?

    Vito and pretty good choice but I think Cleveland is better.

    ReplyDelete
  35. My first kid's car seat had a steering wheel and the only thing that held it in was a hook that fit under the back of the front seat.
    Another week off?......I demand a refund.
    Back in the day, It was the wimminz who took care of the new kid, and left the men-folk free to do what they want.

    ReplyDelete
  36. A heartfelt congratulations.

    Perhaps you should take this opportunity to finally get around to changing your name from "Weiss" to the more inclusive and politically-correct "Schwartz," because black lives matter, too...

    ReplyDelete
  37. I wish that we could organize a series of guest-posts to while away the time, but that is difficult to do without imposing on our gracious and busy host.

  38. How about Brooks for an name? Untermyer?

    ReplyDelete
  39. I'm thinking the best name for this kid would be "Pabst Budnitz Snobbers". Or, you could go with just one name and call him/her Bansky. Either would be fun, and you're not listening to me anyway! (who would, with a name like Balls?)

    Anyway, congratulations and good luck making it through the next 4-6 weeks!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Good idea, WIWM
    I am computer illiterate so I am out as guest blogger.
    Perhaps one of you youngins can entertain us while Snob is painting the baby's bedroom?

  44. Woo hoo hoo!

    Name choice is SO obvious - Fred.

    Now that you have two children I am sorry to report that you will no longer be eligible for those awkward pauses in conversation when parents of multiple children ask how many brothers and sisters your child has - but you are now eligible to deliver that shocked response when someone else has only one child.

    Agree with Brooks, they are paying the parental leave aren't they? Read the fine print of your contractual agreement, you may have no choice! Is it a gender neutral name?

  54. Big Congratulations!

    Ours is 10 months old and we are back to 'hell no never again" after a very rewarding several months of "this isn't so bad maybe we could have a 2nd", which was of course preceded by parenting phase 1, being "what the fuck have we done?". Sincere best wishes! May there be many naps.

    ReplyDelete
  55. For the next few months, just call him/her Eric/Erica the Complainer. After he/she starts giving you a little peace a better name will probably come to mind. Congratulations! And let us know whether that Dick Tracy watch played any role.

  59. 7lbs 14oz

    714 is a notable number in 20th century Americana. It is:

    Middle names:
    Shiv
    Venge
    Crux

    And then start a bicycling blog. When Sinyard's lawyers sue you to Cease and Desist, only the child will be mentally scarred and the Specialized lawyer moves onto the next bicycle industry victim.

  113. “The truth about the world, he said, is that anything is possible. Had you not seen it all from birth and thereby bled it of its strangeness it would appear to you for what it is, a hat trick in a medicine show, a fevered dream, a trance bepopulate with chimeras having neither analogue nor precedent, an itinerant carnival, a migratory tentshow whose ultimate destination after many a pitch in many a mudded field is unspeakable and calamitous beyond reckoning.

    The universe is no narrow thing and the order within it is not constrained by any latitude in its conception to repeat what exists in one part in any other part. Even in this world more things exist without our knowledge than with it and the order in creation which you see is that which you have put there, like a string in a maze, so that you shall not lose your way. For existence has its own order and that no man's mind can compass, that mind itself being but a fact among others.”

  134. Congratulations, Wildcat!

    I see your Rock and Roll Machine must be working well. No firing blanks there!

    I wish Lil' Wildcat a wonderful, wonderful life, free of Islamist Jihadism, salmoning bicyclists, bicycle thieves and those criminals who leave bicycles out in the weather to rust and rot.

    I'm sure you will be spending your free time, should there be any, how to spread on just the right amount of Snarky Flavor icing on all the random subject cupcakes that magically appear in our lives.

  140. Only one thing is more annoying than people talking about their babies and small children. ....

    Triathletes talking about triathlon training and racing.

    Not surprisingly people who get tattoos with of their children's names remind me of triathletes who get tri-tatts.

    Triathletes don't deserve to be called athletes. What else can we call them though?

    Triwannabeathletes?

  143. I just dropped enough cheddar on my auxillary child's travel soccer career to buy a nice 26" Santa Cruz Superlite frame. That's on the EBay. With not long left.

    Which is now irrelevant.

  144. Tridork works for me. (I suggested Trifred, but it never took hold). Training? I try to work out 4x weekly with a swim, bike & run each week. (not many bike outings if it's icy) The 30 mile each-way commute that I do weekly in spring & summer are training runs in disguise. (past the corner of seaman & Cummings) I clear my work schedule for two weeks before a race, which is really a party. I can usually con some family members into forming a relay team & they're on the course, too. Give me a number on my shulder, a goody bag & a neon swim-cap & I'll gladly dodgev turds in the Hudson (America's River)

  145. Just wasting time and space...
    Today's commute near miss involved an inner ring suburb police car turning into my path whilst turning right on red, even though it is clearly posted as illegal to do so. I half expected it so I was fully prepared to brake even though I had the light.

  149. TriDork is ok.

    I.e. Dork x 3

    I would like to see our bike snob lead the way in the reconciliation between Greg and Lance. This bitterness is destroying cycling. But not destroying careers.

  150. Greg never took or did drugs! He has admitted to tasting 'the medicine' though.

  151. Lemond admitted to using bee pollen when he was racing. Not sure if it was on the banned substances list, but I do know that the bees were pretty upset about it.
