Why do you wait until the last minute to buy a sled?

May I humbly recommend "asshat" as an insult? I've really enjoyed seeing it used on another board that I visit.

We didn't buy one because last time it snowed enough to sled, my daughter was still in the baby sled that you drag along. And because we are socialists, and knew that in our close-in neighborhood, we'd be able to find someone to "spread the wealth around" with a kid's outgrown sled or an extra. My kid crashed into a tree but we don't care because we will soon have socialized medicine and know all of the right people to get her past the death panels.

Do you mean "ass-hat" as in a hat made out of an ass, or "as-shat" as in a physical occurance? Do I use it as a noun or a verb in a complete sentence? Or is it perchance one of those new trendy baby names that people with sleds are choosing these days?

I'm not sure what it means, but it's definitely an insult. Use in a sentence:

Yes: Could you asshats please get over yourselves? or simply: "asshat."

No: We simply can't find the right gluten-free, fair-trade stroller for little Declan, Taylyr, and Asshat.

I bought a toddler sled last October 2008 for my 17 month old. And I have the toboggan and runner sleds from my childhood for when my child gets bigger.

All the people looking for sleds could not have moved in from California in the last year.

Is this a serious question? Gee, I dunno why some people waited until the last minute to buy a sled for the first major snowstorm in six years. Maybe some people just got shitcanned at work so they were focused on finding new employment. Maybe others are dealing with serious illness in the family. Maybe others live in two bedrooms without a lot of storage for an item that may or may not be used every six years. Why do you give a crap anyway? From your post, it's not as if you were the one out there wrangling over the last sled at Target.

I must suck as a mom because I still haven't gotten a sled for my children.

You don't suck nearly as much as OP for pointing it out and lording it over a bunch of strangers. What a ridiculous post.

Thank you-so it is like a hat made out of an ass or worn by an ass-thanks, I was actually considering suggesting this a name for my asshat SIL who's expecting.

Best. Thread. Ever. Since Thanksgiving is approaching and the holidays will be in full swing, I wanted to bump this so we can all remember the festive time we had last holiday season

By the time the Snowpocalypse and Snowmaggedon ended I think we were going bat shit crazy.

Just a little.

LMAO! I'm new to this board, and I was on the fence, but this made me a fan for life!

I'm feeling very smug right now. Bought 3 sleds at Target today. We have 2 but 1 is pretty beat up. Now, it better snow dammit!

I still haven't gone out and gotten a sled. It's ok. My neighbors have some and we share everything. Except spouses.

I am the only one disturbed that OP has THREE sleds from CHILDHOOD?! No wonder she's pissy, bet she has every piece of baggage from then as well.
