We're a week and a half into school, and 3 year-old Mini Bashcraft has a crush. He digs some little girl at his school, telling us that he likes the ribbons she wears in her hair. The little girl and him apparently spend most of the day together, her building stuff out of plastic blocks, Mini Bash wrecking the crap outta it. Today's big shocker was that the little girl told our kid that his thermos was, and I quote, "dorky." Puzzled, he apparently asked her why she said that to which she reiterated its dorkiness.

Well, it is rather dorky. It has a bumble bee on it. It's red, yellow and white. Hideous, actually and probably would've never been purchased had it not been a present from the sister-in-law while she was studying aboard in New Zealand.

After recounting this heart-crushing tale, Mini-Bash told us it would be "nice" to have a new thermos, but that we didn't have to buy him one. It wasn't necessary to get him a new one. The bumble bee, he said, was fine. Still, Mrs. Bashcraft searched around online and found a neat, cartoony Ultra Man thermos, which she'll surprised him with next week. 'Cause when you're three, things like ribbons and thermos matter. A lot.

What you missed:

• "Massive Damage" still funny? Meh


• Be glad you've got a Wii, Crecente!


• Analysts do some research on finding stuff. Don't find much.

Okay, the site's all yours. Enjoy!
