Confidential to Bacon Boy:
Loving and nurturing my child does not make me gay.
Working in the theater makes me gay.
THANK you.
**MIKE CONCEDES**
Bill, when I saw that the female consensus seemed to be coming down strongly in their favor, I rushed off and bought one. I am currently trying to wedge my 6-foot 15-year-old into it now.

BILL adds:
Mike, your boys are strong-like-bull. Make them carry YOU. Come on, you’ve been doing this oppressive “walking” for decades now. Relax and enjoy the ride… maybe a sippy cup or two? Booyah!

Fathering a child makes you soooo gay.
Er…. doesn’t it?
2 Laura on Feb 5, 2009 at 6:14 pm
I just opened Mike’s blog and saw this post…. So adorable. Cutest little nose
. Well, that’s for the baby.
You, however, look manly because you aren’t wearing a scarf….
3 smallerdemon on Feb 5, 2009 at 6:32 pm
Don’t forget about the haircut.
4 OxfordProle on Feb 5, 2009 at 6:34 pm
Yes. Lack of emo haircut is utterly essential.
Bill, I must say: you have adorable children.
5 fauxarbres on Feb 5, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Yes, the baby looks thrilled…
6 Scott on Feb 5, 2009 at 6:57 pm
Oh, but it looks good on You.

No, you would need a kicky scarf to fall squarely in THAT category.
Good looking kid, Bill!
8 randommanthefirst on Feb 5, 2009 at 7:40 pm
Very snug. Now you can finally form that cirus troupe and do cartwheels without fearing for your infant’s life.
9 Laura on Feb 5, 2009 at 8:01 pm
Tee-hee, I’m posting here again even though I already did!
“Mike, your boys are strong-like-bull. Make them carry YOU. ”
In Soviet Russia, son carries YOU!
(you have a 6 foot 15 year old? Kid must love bacon!)
10 Kim on Feb 5, 2009 at 8:09 pm
Cute kid Bill! And I concur with the others, lack of scarf and emo hair-do=so not gay.
And seriously, 6-foot 15 year old? Dang!
11 OxfordProle on Feb 5, 2009 at 8:26 pm
OK, so here’s what I learned from The RiffTrax Blog today:
1) Bill, although somewhat confused over what constitutes ‘gay,’ has adorable children.
2) Mike is raising a race of giants and is currently trying to cram one of them into a Snugli. I suspect his son has objections to this.
3) Gary Busey is always horrifying, even as an infant, even in a Snugli.
Been a good day, folks.

Were the Nelson children carried in some sort of cured pork sling?
13 Lord Bob on Feb 5, 2009 at 9:28 pm
Holy crap, Bill, that thing actually really suits you.
Who’s that guy carrying you around?
14 Chris Hughes on Feb 5, 2009 at 10:06 pm
“Snugli” sounds suspiciously Scandinavian in origin. If it were a US product, it would have a name like iSnugl or Snugl-E.
15 Lyndsey on Feb 5, 2009 at 10:22 pm
This is hilarious!
We are leaving rainy Oregon for rainy Disneyland and debated whether or not to take the BabyBjorn for our 20 month old. Alas, he is too big…
Our 16 year old 6′+ son tried it on as well. I wish I could post pics here. He looked almost as cute as Bill!
16 Adam on Feb 5, 2009 at 10:22 pm
See, here’s a guy – in this case Bill – with a nice big grin on his face, wearing a baby harness, and that’s awesome.
That guy in the first picture? He needs to put that baby down somewhere safe and warm so someone can wipe that little smirk off his face without jostling the infant. And then take his scarf, too.
17 ern2150 on Feb 5, 2009 at 10:54 pm
Click my name to see how manly these are.
18 Mr. Slick on Feb 5, 2009 at 10:56 pm
Aaaaawwwww, ya’know? Aaaaaawwwwwwww.
19 Houndstooth Mind on Feb 5, 2009 at 10:59 pm
Tres cute!
20 Walter on Feb 5, 2009 at 10:59 pm
Your baby has no head.
21 Joyless Prole on Feb 6, 2009 at 12:29 am
You mean it’s not all the mansex that makes me gay but the community theatre? I’m so confused.
22 AJ on Feb 6, 2009 at 12:53 am
Hey! I’m in theatre and I’m not gay!
23 AmandaGal on Feb 6, 2009 at 12:55 am
Very cute. Such a gay and jovial family.
The other guy looks like he has strapped on the baby as a fashion accessory though. It happened to match the g(r)ay scarf.
24 attaturk on Feb 6, 2009 at 3:29 am
So a baby in a snugli helps a man with “the ladies” — rather than just being a large transportation device to enable “Ultimate Baby Fighting” between “snuglied” infants?
Please inform your wives, I’m sure they will be both relieved and appalled at this revelation!
25 G'Tron on Feb 6, 2009 at 3:31 am
You know, Bill, if you invest in a black bodystocking, you can use the Snugli to perform bunraku puppetry with your child!
26 j. cunningham on Feb 6, 2009 at 8:03 am
Nurture a child….. eat some corn
27 ready4sumfootball on Feb 6, 2009 at 9:14 am
“You, however, look manly because you aren’t wearing a scarf….”
So, according to your logic, Harry Potter doesn’t look manly because he wears a scarf and must therefore be gay. Interesting logic, but I disagree. Ron is the gay one, hands down.
28 blablover5 on Feb 6, 2009 at 10:01 am
I forsee this picture causing years of therapy for the little one currently plotting how best to turn her head and spit up all over Bill.
29 michael on Feb 6, 2009 at 10:56 am
No, no, no…it’s the hat that makes them gay.
Cute kids can get away with it. But grown men? Never.
30 michael on Feb 6, 2009 at 11:04 am
Exchange the cute kid in the pouch with a bichon frise then we’re talking gay.
31 Ben on Feb 6, 2009 at 11:04 am
No, no, Bill. You don’t attach your clones to your body. They stay in the stasis tube until they are full grown and ready to be harvested for their organs or you let them roam free like in “Parts: The Clonus Horror”.
32 Darth Chimay on Feb 6, 2009 at 12:29 pm
Kuato lives!
33 Remmie Barrow on Feb 6, 2009 at 2:43 pm
{Gary Busey is always horrifying, even as an infant}
Gary Busey AND Nick Nolte were pretty weird looking children, I bet.
34 Remmie Barrow on Feb 6, 2009 at 2:46 pm
{And then take his scarf, too.}
Oh, and give him a wedgie.
35 OxfordProle on Feb 6, 2009 at 4:04 pm
I’ve just realized that I’m not sure what the difference is between the two. Huh. Is there one? Help me out here.
36 Tork_110 on Feb 6, 2009 at 4:44 pm
Dressing up like Brain Guy didn’t help.
37 Laura on Feb 6, 2009 at 4:57 pm
Harry is gay, just like Dumbledore. OH! Spoiler! Sorry.
38 Stacia on Feb 11, 2009 at 3:04 am
The only way this could be cuter is if it involved hedgehogs who thought a broom was their mommy.
Hint to Mike: Carrying an oversized stuffed toy through the store also gets you approving looks from the ladies. Toys are lighter than teenagers, as a rule.
