So, I am sitting on the John, reading the Spring+Summer 2008 edition of "New Parent" Magazine, trying to read up on what is going to be expected of me as the due date for my daughter looms near. I turn the page and I see this ad for pregnancy portraits. Instantly the MST3K portion of my brain kicks in and I say "Hey, that guy looks just like Scooch!" I look again, and think, wait a minute, that looks just like Jamie! I look again, and realize.....IT IS SCOOCH AND JAMIE!!!! I run down stairs to show the muse and we both have a hearty WTF moment and chuckle. I scanned it so you could see for yourself!

Now, I understand that the Man's Couch is normally a forum for the more obscure, random, and hilarious. But after all, it is called THE MAN'S COUCH. What could be more of a show of one's masculinity than embracing Fatherhood and being a supportive EC to the poor unfortunate woman who decided to take you on? I for one applaud our humble moderator for laying aside his inner-Homer Simpson to not only step up to the paternal plate, but broadcast to the world that he is doing so.

The men of this Couch are a rare breed. None of us are the smelly T-shirt variety guy that hangs out at corner pubs called "Jimmy's 331", watches football to excess, calls his wife "my old lady", tries to hide his penile insecurity from the world by cursing, driving a large truck, and watchin' porno, and would rather be in the company of other dudes eating chicken wings from a can than with their families. No, the men of this 'Couch (as well as our honorary male compadre that happens to be female,) could more easily wax on about the films of Coleman Francis and the musical genius that IS Leo Sayer than give one opening line-up of any major sports team, ant that's the way we like it. An important credo of the couch was always "Ho's before Bro's", and I will forever be the first one to say I love my ho even mo every day!

Now, let's all get hopped up on Red Bull and play ping pong while we try to belch the alphabet!

I can only confirm that it is true. Jami and I are sometimes models (not professionals as we did not receive any compensation from said photo). At the time the picture was taken Kiddie Kandids didnt do that kind of photography. They used Jami and I as guinea pigs to see if they could pull it off. We never expected they would actually use our pics. The baby in question is Rylee, so those pics are about 3 years old.

I always thought if my picture went nationwide it would have been under different circumstances...

I have to admit that without the numbers under your chin and the "turn to the right" shot, it was a little hard to recognize you.

Just tell me you said "Howdy, Kurt," after the photo was taken.
