Thank you, thank you, all of you rejoicing with me in this happy time! We are about 4 weeks into it, so still early. I have "threatened" the missus to train a future bucketeer; only response I get is a wry smirk.

LOLOL! That's quite unbeatable, Thiel! Only a Great Dane would do that! I am touched to my heart!

I've shown it to my wife...she smirked approvingly...

I tried fitting it on one of the sailing ship I've drawn, but I couldn't make the flags fit and still be legible.
Btw, what does it say about me that I didn't need any reference table to make it?

Congratulations! Or should I say Grattis!

To Thiel: it says it all, my friend! An all through and through sailor. I have to admit it took me a few moments to refresh my code reading, but I did it

For Moxica: Tack så hemskt mycket, oss svenskar emellan! Jag är djupt rörd!

bezobrazov,

Congradultions and our prayers (the misses and I) to you and your wife.
I hope your able to draw one handed while holding a bottle with your shoulder and chin.
Goodbye sleep, going out at a spur of the moment and being monetaryly rich.
Hello dipers, late night feedings and it will always seem to be your turn to change the baby.
Since this is your first you'll wake up at every sound, the terrible twos, and if he is a she the teenage years.

A you'll love all of it... eventually.

And when the grand kids come, sweet revenge.

Once a father, always a father; until, that is, you reach advanced years (anything over 60); then the roles reverse and your offspring begin parenting you

And sure, Scifi has it right - the revenge is spoiling the granchildren

And time for some .. quotes:
