Congratulations All Around

June 4th, 2009 by Oskar Kennedy

Congratulations to Suburban Panic contributor Foo-Foo McKinley. She’s been added to the roster of ass-kicking skeptical ladies over at Skepchick. I feel like a high school coach watching his star player get drafted to the major leagues. And I’d like to point out that I predicted this right from the beginning. Here’s hoping she doesn’t forget about us when she scores the winning run in the Super Bowl, or whatever.

In completely unrelated news, congrats also to Foo-Foo and her husband, who are expecting their first little “skepling” in January. While there’s no way it will be as cute as my daughter, I expect their child will come in a close second. And I’ve already reserved the right to do this to any ultrasound pictures they publish.

And finally, congratulations to regular commenter catgirl, who pointed out a distinction between the sincere deceit of religion and the knowing fraud of Scientology. In the process, she left our 1,000 (non-spam) comment. I know that celebrating big round numbers is entirely arbitrary, but something about all those zeroes makes me happy nonetheless. We’re trying to figure out a prize for her; if you have suggestions, you can leave them in the comments.

spread the panic!

    Awww thank you!! I’m very excited about writing for Skepchick. And in 8-ish months your little girl will be giving our baby a lesson in smackdowns, ha! Her job will be to keep her/him in check.

    I know what you can give that girl as a prize! Draw her an avatar! You are an excellent artist. OR you could give her a nickel from the year 1987. That is a good year for nickels.

      That is a great idea, considering I am too lazy and/or uncreative to pick out my own avatar.
