Be my baby

Customers and cashiers stare at the 5-foot-11, 180-pound man, who is dressed in a pink bonnet, pink shorty dress, and white patent leather shoes. Under his dress, you can see his diaper. He takes his place in line with a carry-all basket full of juice and Gerber baby food. "Oh shit! It's Baby Man," says one cashier. "It's like Sasquatch!" he says. "You don't believe it exists until you see it."

We had a guy like that who frequented the Denny's near my undergraduate school. The waiters would freak out and not know where to seat him, so we'd tell them it was OK to seat him near us. He'd have his bottle of chocolate milk and tell us about his Barbies. We'd go ahead and indulge him by talking to him like he was a little girl. Very very weird, but harmless.

I don't think I've laughed so hard in months - thanks so much for this enlightening article.

My god, that's sick and disgusting.

Oh, wait, he's not the dry drunk guy who legalized torture and got 4000 American soldiers killed to solidify his power?

Oh, in that case, what do I care what he does in his nappies?

Interesting link...

When I was just a lad, just out of college, working at a residential psychiatric facility for adolescents for a psychiatrist who also ran marathon therapy sessions for adults in the same facility, I learned that regression therapy was a modality that was commonly used by this particular psychiatrist.

Taking an individual back to infanthood, diapers, bottle feeding, etc., was the norm.

Most of us working at the facility had little or nothing to do with this...these clients were dealt with exclusively by the good Dr., although it was always a bit odd to run into and adult in diapers wandering the halls on a marathon weekend...

For some it worked, they were able to process through some infant/childhood issues...i guess... at least they said it helped..

This was an interesting read... I came away with a certain amount of respect for this guy... Given a choice of having a beer with some macho idiot or with William, I would probably choose William.

Ahh, innocence. I almost envy those of you that have just now heard of adult babies and can be shocked by them. You have so much further to fall.

Let's point and laugh at the freak! Yarr!

Actually I'm not sure I want to be on record doing anything that smells of defending this guy because maaaaaaaan that's the sort of thing that gets people questioning your motivation.

DecemberBoy: I thank you for my first laugh-out-loud of the week. Those are always appreciated.

My first guess was that this was about the Senator from Louisiana.
