Crabmommy Manifesto
On this website I will never:
*speak of the enchanting constant joy and transformative wonderment of motherhood
*dispense little nuggets about what my child has taught me
*tell any mom to stop and smell the diapers "because it all goes by in the blink of an eye"
*make jokes about bowel movements and baby body fluids (because it's not my thing and it can be found abundantly elsewhere)
*use the word "miracle"
*count my blessings
*chart my child's developmental milestones
*seem to be in a good or grateful mood
*be mean about my friends or family because they'll get me back
On this website I will:
*laugh at myself
*laugh at others
*laugh at rural momming
*laugh at urban momming
*mock the Stokke highchair
*covet the Stokke highchair
Disclaimer:
Let me say once for the record: like any mother I adore my own tot, think she is more brilliant, beautiful and gifted than yours, but this goes without saying. So I'm not going to say it (again). Rather, I vow to use my precious bloody-little time to talk about the more wretched and tricky aspects of momhood, pausing often to drown myself in a vat of self-pity and whining. Welcome!

About Me
- Crabmommy
- Originally South African, then was an urban mommy (NYC), then hubby and I decided NYC sucks unless one is awash in cash...so we decamped to the smalltown cowboy west, to a town of many hyperfit, cheery "Look On the Bright Side" moms. Too much cheeriness forced us north and west and urban and rainy. I am happier in gloom. Crabmommy is mom to one child and one only, and by God it's going to stay that way. Recent musings in a variety of fancy literary magazines that nobody reads SO THEN I GOT A REAL WRITING JOB with Cookie magazine online, where I have a bloglet about momming. (Like I don't plug that one enough. Sheesh.) email: crabmommy [then u make the at sign] gmail [dot] com

do you think the one in the middle is sad about the passage of prop 8 in California? I have a feeling.....
I watched this the first time without sound. It's almost as entertaining silent as it is with that exhilarating song! Oh my...
I like the fixed smile and the black suit, all while doing the pop-n-slide moves. OMG. That's scary in a totally clueless way.
Making fun of religion? Are you kidding me? That popping and locking turned me into a believer. Hallelujah! Seriously, this is one of the funnier things I have seen a while. Thanks.
I liked the Truth guy in the background. Except . . . what was he doing, exactly?
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition.
Readers, help me: I CANNOT STOP WATCHING THIS.
--my fave part is when he moonwalks and after that the girls go into this high little trill "you-know-that" before they say the chorus ("the renewed mind is the key".
yes, clearly I am a very busy woman who knows how best to manage her time.
Re. the dude: Never mind the Christ in him, anyone else see the Will Ferrell in him? And yes, ThatGirl, he is def crushed about Prop 8.
So what si the scariest part of this vid? The fact that they are actually quite talented. Let's face it. Can you do that?
What gets me about this is the “renewed mind” idea. What can this mean? Myself, I would love a refreshed mind but the idea of my mind being renewed is unnerving and just plain scary.
Could one use electroshock therapy to renew the mind? From what I understand, electroshock wipes parts of the mind. And those dancers don’t look “wiped” so much as “reprogrammed.” Are they robots?
Because they are so cheesy and full of human tics, all glossy but soft, I’m rejecting the robot idea. I’ve decided they are Stepford worshippers. With renewed mind powers. Scary. Let’s hope it’s not spreading via the clip. How are you feeling lately CM?
Oh my God! I just laughed so hard I had some sort of coughing fit and choked on a a pretzel (yes, just like W). Wow, I just had this image of hubby coming home and finding me laid out, DOA, with "the renewed mind is the key" playing in the background. I'm gonna go watch it again right now, though. I would risk death before I would miss a repeat performance of that moon walk.
Is that what all the cool kids are doing now days? I thought this was super funny and a somewhat pathetic attempt to appeal to a younger crowd. But I sure did laugh til my face hurt...I just wish I could get that stupid song out of my head now ....crap...
Scary, scary, almost as scary as the Wiggles!
It's been a few days since I last watched this, and I still remember the chorus by heart. Yikes.
On an even scarier note, I discovered after posting this on facebook that a relative of mine used to belong to this church. She forwarded it to a number of ex-members (it's kind of a cult) and they got a good laugh/chill from it. She said they used to be actually quite good (as in talented, not as in a good church), but was sad to see they had devolved into this mountain of cheesiness.
Oh. My.
