Q: How can you tell that you talk way too much about blogging?
A: Your 5-year-old does this while you’re playing Legos with him on a Sunday night:

“Hey dad, don’t look ok?”
[turns around and starts tinkering with pieces]

“Here you go!”

MrLady.jpg 

“Hahaha! What is that supposed to be, Fury!?”

“It’s Mr. Lady!”

Yes, folks, my son is down with one of the baddest mommy bloggers in the land, Mr. Lady of Whiskey in My Sippy Cup. You just can’t BUY that kind of juice.

My secret plan to stalk you until he agrees to marry my daughter is WORKING.
-----
[BusyDad] Does he get a dowry chest full of Thin Mints?

March 24, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMr Lady

Oh. My. Gosh. This is the funniest thing I've heard all week. Granted, it's only Monday, but still. Besides, who doesn't love Mr Lady???
-----
[BusyDad] She is like the Sara Lee of bloggers. Nobody doesn't like Mr. Lady.

March 24, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKaren C.

um, so it that a gigantic JUG of whiskey she's got, or what?!
-----
[BusyDad] She knows how to party, that Mr. Lady. The sippy cup is for before noon.

March 24, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterzoeyjane

LOL! That is one smart guy you have!! Although I'm now just a little frightened of Mr. Lady now . . .

:p
-----
[BusyDad] But really, who would have thought stubble could be so sexy?

March 24, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterHoneybell

I'm starting to think that Fury's up in the middle of the night on MySpace, gathering new ideas so that he can give you something to blog about.

Too funny!
-----
[BusyDad] I should just hang it up and have him take over this blog. I just type anyway!

March 24, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterApril

I knew she was probably hot, but I never thought I'd get to see her in a bikini. If I was to ever "switch teams" she'd totally be my mistress.
-----
[BusyDad] And a geek chic Star Wars Slave Leia one at that! Hoowee!

March 24, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMomo Fali

A bikini, a megaphone, and a five o'clock shadow. Though I've never met her for real in person, that seems about right. Good job, Fury!
-----
[BusyDad] Definitely. Without the 5 o'clock shadow, she'd have no edge.

March 24, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMommyTime

That is awesome... oh, my... I can't stop laughing. Princess Leia eat your heart out!
-----
[BusyDad] Oh totally! Mr. Lady > The Princess. Leia's blog is so weak.

March 24, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterTara R.

Excuse me. Please do not interrupt. Mr. Lady has the floor and is armed with a megaphone AND a laptop.

KEEP BELIEVING
-----
[BusyDad] AND she has the Force on her side.

March 24, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAngie

Ok - that's the first time I've seen Legos with cleavage! Oh, the corruption. ;)
-----
[BusyDad] It's not Lindsay and Britney after all! It's those damn Legos! We owe them an apology.

March 24, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterdkaye

*snicker*
-----
[BusyDad] :p

March 24, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterCableGirl

If I wasn't sitting on the floor I would have fallen off my chair with laughter.
-----
[BusyDad] Whew good thing. I wouldn't want that injury on Fury's shoulders.

March 24, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMarieWalt

I just noticed that Fury not only accurately depicted my rock hard abs, he also nailed, dead on, my 30 something woman mustache. Let him know Auntie Mr lady will be waxing tonight, thanks to him. And then crying herself to sleep on her huge jugs...of whiskey.
-----
[BusyDad] Don't do that! Fury thinks it's cool!

March 24, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMr Lady

SO. Freakin. Funny.
-----
[BusyDad] You have a very Lego-able name as well. You could be next!

[BusyDad] Thank you JO-N! You sure know how to throw a blog party. What did you put in that punch??

March 24, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJO-N

That's absolutely hysterical. I think I'd never get anything done around your house - I'd always be cracking up listening to Fury.
-----
[BusyDad] :) One of my uttered phrases is "what? What did you just say? Say it again! Hahaha"

March 25, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJen in MI

Dig that serious come hither look on Mr. Lady. Hubba hubba.
-----
[BusyDad] She's a bad muthablogger

March 25, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterzombyboy

I pictured her with more hair. Please tell me that is a Princess Lea Lego and not some new Victoria's Secret set. Because I'd probably never get my boys to leave their room if it's the latter.
-----
[BusyDad] I'd buy the entire set :)

March 25, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterTootsie Farklepants

LOL Yep you have integrated your child in the world of blogging. My three year old knows which blog is yours. When I'm here he shouts at the top of his lungs! Busy Dad mommy Busy Dad!!!
-----
[BusyDad] HAHA! That is SO COOL. I knew I put that cartoon header there for a reason.

March 25, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterTiff@Three Peas

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.
i LOVE it.
-----
[BusyDad] :) Making blogger action figures. Who would have guessed?

March 25, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterHeather

ROFL!!!
Is it wrong I keep staring at her rack???
-----
[BusyDad] I'll defer to Mr. Lady on that one!

March 25, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterSandy (Momisodes)

No way! too cool!
-----
[BusyDad] He's one of us now.

March 25, 2008 | Unregistered Commentermimi/pz5wjj

Thatis one cool, smart kid you have there :)
-----
[BusyDad] He certainly knows who to get in good with! He's blogsmart.

March 25, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterPenelope Anne

Awesome!
-----
[BusyDad] Insanely!

March 25, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJenna

Oh how I love your blog! I'm book marking you! I need more laughter in my life...LMAO!
-----
[BusyDad] Glad you enjoy it! Trust me, these things make my day.

March 25, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterTammy

No, Sandy, it isn't wrong. In fact, I kinda like it. Um, SHE kinda likes it. Lego Mr Leia Lady. Yeah, that's right. Err....
-----
[BusyDad] Mr. Lady brings all the moms to the yard...

March 25, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMr Lady

Not that there's anything wrong with that. LOL!!!
-----
[BusyDad] :D I love this side blog action.

March 25, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterSWC

I think Mr. Lady needs some headwear to cover up that odd deformity on the top of her head. Otherwise, rawwwrrrr!! Girl crush material for sure.
-----
[BusyDad] Fury has a bunch of Lego Stormtrooper helmets, but that would cover up the sexy stubble.

That kid needs a blog of his own. Start him early w/ the ladies.
-----
[BusyDad] I'd be out of a job!

March 25, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterA Whole Lot of Nothing

Deb, you make a good point, but I think Mr Leia has bigger things to worry about, like, um, a BIKINI WAX much? Go look again, you'll see.
-----
[BusyDad] But Jabba the Hutt is a freak like that!

March 25, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMr Lady

Hey Man! Thanks for the lead to Whiskey In My Sippy Cup - great site. Check out the latest post at Discovering Dad - I gave you a plug for the lead. Thanks again! -Jeremy @ Discovering Dad
-----
[BusyDad] Thanks for the plug Jeremy! Mr. Lady deserves every fan she has times 10.

March 26, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJeremy Neal

oh. my. life. That kid's a genius.
-----
[BusyDad] :) Thanks. He's got a witty streak for sure.

March 26, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterCaroline Bingham

She'll have to use that picture as her avatar. Hilarious!
-----
[BusyDad] She did! Like 5 minutes after this post went up. I have to say it's the perfect avatar.

March 26, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJill

I've never seen Lego look that sexy ...Mr. Lady sizzles LOL!
-----
[BusyDad] I love a woman with a megaphone... or whatever that is. A laser gun? Blunderbuss?

March 26, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKaren MEG (Pomtini)

Long time lurker thru Mr. Lady - and I about spit my tea out when I read this post - LOVE IT...

Hysterical!!
-----
[BusyDad] I'm glad my son made you spit your tea and caused your delurkage! He's awesome.

March 27, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterDMM

It's so sad that I was able to tell that's Princess Leia in the iron bikini from Jedi...
-----
[BusyDad] You are among like-minded friends. There's quite a few of us here.

March 27, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMaureen

ROFL...and I never do that.
-----
[BusyDad] haha - I'll see your ROFL and raise you an unprecedented LOL.

April 5, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterLunaNik

Ok - catching up on your blog after a while...and when I saw this I had to comment. On our little excursion this weekend, this morning when Fury was in our room playing with the boys, he said to Jaden, "Hey, watch me make Mr. Lady!" That caught my attention so I asked what he was talking about and he said, "Watch!" as he took apart some of our Lego people and put one back together and proudly raised up his creation. "See - it's a girl AND a guy!" I didn't even want to go any further then, but now I understand...
-----
[BusyDad] TOTALLY HILARIOUS! (For those of you who don't know, we spent the weekend with Lolita and her two boys at Legoland.)
