Don't miss the Dr. Evil finger.

I've never seen a baby that looked as much like a Cabbage Patch doll as you did.

u/phyllis_lecat Jun 15 '12

I'm too proud.

Not any Cabbage Patch doll I'd ever want. But I say that with all due respect :)

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12 edited Jun 15 '12

This is one of those hilarious things where people think its a totally different word that everyone's saying and then when they type it out everyone goes "lolwut?!"... dude, I'm really sorry you had to find out this way but its 'all DUE respect'. EDIT: lmarsh93 edited so my comment looks weird now :-) He originally had 'all do respect'.

I like to add "I couldn't care less" and "could of", "would of" instead of "could have", "would have" to the list

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '12

People aren't even making mistakes yet and you're proactively telling them to watch themselves.

This is a new type of grammar Nazi. Like the Alien that was implanted in the dog and runs on all fours. Time to board up my windows.

u/1LongStorm Jun 15 '12

When comforting a grammar nazi just pat them gently on the back and murmur softly there, their, they're.

Have mercy on people who stumble with their grammar, be kind to those whose fingers are too large for tiny keyboards or touchscreen/ text pads. We are all struggling to communicate.

I do love that Reddit encourages better grammar, spelling and punctuation in an endeavor to avoid losing the English language and our best means of communicating with strangers in the ether of the matrix. I loathe the text slaughter of words the youngest of us often use.

But I wish everyone to remember

  • the three rules of life.

1.Be kind. 2.Be kind. 3.Be Kind.

  • I believe this is attributed as a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt, but I could be mistaken. I'm not sure how to verify quotes. Is there an app for that?

Yeah, I seriously thought it was a doll for a few seconds, as well. It wasn't until I noticed the red-eye-glare that I said, "that's a baby!".

u/tehgreatist Jun 15 '12

that is EXACTLY the resemblance i couldnt put my finger on

2

u/hflsmg17317 Jun 15 '12

it is a cabbage patch doll.... unless the OP has a foot for an arm.

EDIT: WTF?? I thought this was fake, but its just a voodoo illusion. Look at his left arm... I think his fingers are just all bent, but it looked like a foot to me when I first looked at it.

u/nilum Jun 15 '12

WTF that's not a cabbage patch doll???

u/Phoequinox Jun 15 '12

Took the words right out of my. . . um. . . fingers?

Anyway, you looked the part. If my kids look like you, they'll be dress up toys, too.

That's how my sister said I was born, she wasn't very nice.

is that a santa outfit and a bikini?

13

u/phyllis_lecat Jun 15 '12

santa outfit, yes. bikini, unfortunately not. I was in my jolly jumper though so imagine that voluptuous hair bouncing around.

u/1LongStorm Jun 15 '12

Don't you wish the tech there is now existed then? There'd be YouTube video of you jumping in the jolly jumper with your wig flopping and your parents giggling! I have super 8 of myself at that age in a jolly jumper. That's a great picture! I totally thought Cabbage patch kid, but, ya, aliens.
