Baby tally! As prompted by the "babby-wearing" thread...[More:]

...so what is the ratio of baby boys to baby girls that have been born to members since MeCha began?

What kind of false statistics can we claim as a result?

What have been the best name suggestions?
Oh good grief, woman! Don't scare me like that. I thought you were about to announce your own impending babbydom.

Let me just say I think it's weird that people here would have babies just to increase the number of Metachat members.

@essexjan: DEAR GOD, NO. I can barely afford to feed and clothe myself, let alone a baby. I can't even take care of my roommate's plants on a regular basis.

I mean, take today for example. I was so very excited when I deposited my check because I was all, "Oh dude, I've got like $300 extra dollars this month! I can pay a little more to my credit card and I can pay a little extra to my cell phone bill, and I can pay my therapist a little more and have room left over for new shoes, or $100 worth of fall business clothing..."

And then I remembered that I hadn't socked away the $400 I do twice a month to pay my taxes at the end of the year. (Note: Real estate sales agents are independent contractors, and even though my official title is research assistant, because I'm employed by a broker under the brokerage firm, I have to file my own taxes.) So, after correctly socking that away in my pitifully low-interest savings account where I also keep my rent money, I have about $130 left to last me till the 30th. And I have yet to buy groceries. Or another pack of cigarettes.

But dude! Let's get back to the tally of MeCha babies, shall we?

I'm pretty sure my girls predated my involvement here. Evelyn is four and half and Sophie is seven. If I could think of some way to look it up...I'd bet that Evelyn was born by the time I showed up here. But, you know, just in case we're counting all babbies of mechazens, I've got me two of those there girlie ones.

I think it's pretty even. Gomi, plinth and I have had weiner-havers, while dabitch, gaspode and tr33hggr have gone sans wein. Am I forgetting anyone? I must be.

scirius has a son, as does brainwidth, both born since MetaChat began.

Jack is two so that's one more in the boy column.

That's a lot of little penii.

I'm squeeing at the thought of a wee ramix baby! We need pics, you beautiful woman, as soon as you can get 'em!

If grandbuns count, throw my Grandbun on the boy side.
posted by bunnyfire 15 October | 16:27
Grandbuns could count, but then we could only embarrass him with second-hand accounts of his pregnancy through you reporting on your kids...

Middleclasstool has a Jack who is one.


OOoooo impending ramix babbeh!
posted by gomichild 15 October | 18:48
thanks ramix for adding to the girl-column. Now we need to get someone else in here babby-carrying, else we still have more penii, penes.. penne? I'm hungry.
posted by dabitch 16 October | 11:26
@dabitch: Not for penis, I hope.

Damnit, now I want to make a Wikipage for this.

The Hunger aside, we have more girl children but more current boy babies. If we counted under the double digits, pretty sure we have way more girls, but a bumper crop of penis since the start, which is a surprise.

If we counted under the double digits, I've got two more weiners to throw on the pile.

Metachat: beware the unexpected weiner pile.

eth, at first I read that as "beware the unexpected WANKERpile" and I was like... wait, that's MeTa...

and then i realised it was NOT unexpected in MeTa. and then figured out that I'm old and dyslexic and ADD.

nothing unexpected there.
