It SO looks like he's flipping you the bird.
-----
[BusyDad] He didn't mean it. It's just the Newcastle talking.

March 7, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMr Lady

He could have probably got away with it over here in England
-----
[BusyDad] Maybe I need to consider living somewhere more Dad-Needs-a-Drink-friendly.

March 7, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterDan

I have no words - just giggles. Too cute for words.

Oh, I have a guy that does fake IDs. Just gimme the word.
-----
[BusyDad] Can he photoshop some stubble on him? More believable that way :D

March 8, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterHuckdoll

new castle? i figured fury'd be a heiny kinda man.
-----
[BusyDad] That was TOO funny. His reputation precedes him.

March 8, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterzoeyjane

Checked his ID? they should have their sorry asses fired for not recognising 'Fury'.

Peasants....
-----
[BusyDad] Ha - yeah, they are SO not going to appear on his reality show.

March 8, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterXbox4NappyRash

LOL! You mean you haven't got him a fake one yet?
-----
[BusyDad] Apparently HuckDoll has the hookup! We'll remedy that for next time ;)

March 8, 2008 | Unregistered Commentermimi/pz5wjj

LOL!
-----
[BusyDad] :D !!!!!!!!!!!

Ha, totally cute! I love the look on his face!

(I must say that upon first glance it appeared he was holding his middle finger up)
-----
[BusyDad] Ha, I'm trying so hard to keep him from learning that gesture because you KNOW I couldn't resist posting such a pic.

March 8, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterNatalie

This is way too funny! And yes, it does look like the Newcastle was talking.
-----
[BusyDad] Newcastle does make the menfolk extremely happy :)

March 8, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJen in MI

Haha...oh boy
-----
[BusyDad] Yes... I walk a fine line, don't I?

March 8, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterAshley

You mean, the creator of Blog Hopping was at an actual bar?!? I feel so betrayed!
-----
[BusyDad] Hey, it's just "field research" to improve the Blog Hopping experience. I was working for you all!

March 8, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterApril

"He didn't mean it. It's just the Newcastle talking."

Bwahahahahahahaha.
-----
[BusyDad] Firsthand experience ;)

March 8, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJudith Shakespeare

fury: "this place is dead anyway."
-----
[BusyDad] Haha - yeah, their loss.

March 8, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterstruglas

OMG - he is SO gonna have a reality show...
-----
[BusyDad] I assure you, it would be worth tuning into. This boy keeps me in stitches and d wife in constant damage control.

March 8, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterXbox4NappyRash

Dang. That's just a shame that they don't let kids in bars. I'd hang out with my kids WAY more often.
-----
[BusyDad] So so so so true, Momo. So true...

March 8, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterMomo Fali

He gets cuter in every shot! Hey, the sooner they let kids into bars, the sooner we parents can REALLY start partying again.
We keep trying to do it here too... mind you, with the recent no smoking laws here, they are actually allowed in most pubs (in the day anyway). You've got to be thankful for small mercies ;)
-----
[BusyDad] Everyone wins, really. Fury loves to "sit at the bar" to eat whenever he can. Bartenders are a sympathetic ear when it comes to lego-related heartbreak.

March 8, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterKaren MEG (Pomtini)

"I'll have another!"

BTW, I see your description of BJ includes "spreader of poops." I thought he was house-broken?
-----
[BusyDad] Very astute observation Jenni! Yes, he was "housebroken" and that meant he would poop on this towel that his old owner set in the corner of their apt. Once he got here, we discovered that he indeed knew how to poop on that towel... along with several other places around the house!

March 8, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterjenni

You really are in so much trouble. He is just too cute, he will get away with everything.

"This club will hopefully
Be closed in three weeks"

The club's loss. =)
-----
[BusyDad] Yeah, don't get on his bad side. We named him Fury for a reason! :)

March 8, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterTara R.

LOL, didn't expected this when I saw your title.
-----
[BusyDad] Yeah, "here is my kid at the bar" is probably not a common theme among the parent blogs :)

March 9, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJo-N

Hey! So how is d'wife handling the spreader of poop? Is that Dave & Busters? There is one here. ONE. I have to go. Eventually. Soon. I still have my Power Card!!!
-----
[BusyDad] He's a lot better trained now. And he doesn't shed. I'd say things are well. Yup! D&B. I say if 1/2 your clientele are kids, you should let em sit at the bar!

March 10, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterauntie julia

Where's the hot women? Or is Fury at the wrong bar?
-----
[BusyDad] Nah, he saw this coming. He had them meet him at the next bar ;)

March 10, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterjason

I second Mr Lady...

It totally looks like he's flipping you off.

Too effing cute!!
-----
[BusyDad] ... with a Big Ass Smile! haha

March 13, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterLunaNik

Is he givin me the finger? In MD kids can't sit at bars but they can drink.
-----
[BusyDad] It does look like the friendliest flip off ever doesn't it? What if they have a booster seat?
