Mom Always Liked You Best

by Not That Mike The Other Mike on August 5, 2008

Life wasn’t all fun and games for me in the NTMTOM household, no sir.  My younger brother, Tommy NTMTOM, would get all the best grubs brought home by Mommy NTMTOM, while I had to … assist with feeding.

Yeah, but I'll get to pick out her nursing home, heh heh.

Awesome sender-innering, um … (shuffling notes) … hang on … (shuffle, shuffle) … Meg, er … somebody.

Freaking hilarious!

Reminds me of our family photos of birthday parties from back in the day. You would see me sitting in front of the birthday cake with my mom’s hands over my brothers mouths to stop them from blowing them out before I could. Of course the picture after that would be me crying because they some how always managed to blow the candles out before I could.

Nom Tom, my heart bleeds for you, were you the runt of the litter? er failure of the fledgelings?

8 Theo 08.05.08 at 4:51 pm

“It’s so stimulating, being your hat. Tee hee.”

9 smokeyJoe 08.05.08 at 4:54 pm

mom sez: you’re kinda in my way.

10 browngrl 08.05.08 at 4:58 pm

I know this post will prove just how out of touch with current affairs I am – but what does NTMTOM mean?

11 Daria 08.05.08 at 4:58 pm

“BOOM Headshot!”

12 Theo 08.05.08 at 5:01 pm

Browngrl — check the byline.

13 FrankS 08.05.08 at 5:25 pm

Now there is the Meg Griffin of the bird world.

14 Hayley 08.05.08 at 5:25 pm

Nice Labyrinth reference!!

15 Minutiae 08.05.08 at 5:25 pm

The little guy looks all disgusted and humiliated. Poor thing. Heh.

16 eris 08.05.08 at 5:29 pm

Theo, I will love you forever for that quote.

17 Virginia 08.05.08 at 5:35 pm

Thank you for the Smothers Brothers reference. XD!! It makes for much happiness.

18 Eastie 08.05.08 at 5:48 pm

The boid looks really ticked off!

The Labyrinth – Best. Movie. Ever.

@Theo – You recently told me I was full of win and awesome. I must now return the sentiment.

19 Katrina 08.05.08 at 5:59 pm

*sheesh*

20 Clairezilla 08.05.08 at 6:06 pm

wha? no nuffs on here complaining about how the photographer should have jumped in and saved baby boid #2? WON’T SOMEBODY THINK OF TE CHILDREN?!?!?

21 Pat Trenner 08.05.08 at 6:11 pm

Holy squashed bird head, my entry got posted! Thank you thank you thank you!

22 Theo 08.05.08 at 6:11 pm

[thinking of the children]

Hmm, summer vacation seems to mean Family Guy reruns, at the moment.

23 purrculier 08.05.08 at 6:14 pm

Should’nt that be refered to as Smothered Brothers quote.*ducks pudding bomb*

24 browngrl 08.05.08 at 6:21 pm

thanks theo – once again I see my degrees have earned me no practical information

25 Decca 08.05.08 at 6:35 pm

That poor bird is going to need years of therapy to get over this. Otherwise he’ll end up like NTMTOM.

26 Kallisto 08.05.08 at 6:38 pm

What Eris said! And here I thought, no-one knew that film…

27 Theresa 08.05.08 at 6:47 pm

Similar scenes are going on outside my window as I type!

28 Theo 08.05.08 at 6:47 pm

Heh. I only quoted it because somebody quoted it before me, a while back. Probably here on Cute Overload, even. “Labyrinth” is still quite a popular niche movie amongst internet folks, like “The Princess Bride” and “Santa Claus Conquers the Martians”.

29 Missy 08.05.08 at 7:05 pm

“And that’s when I knew, I was not favorite”

30 Dave 08.05.08 at 7:11 pm

What on God’s cute-filled earth does NTMTOM mean??

31 Theo 08.05.08 at 7:13 pm

Browngrl, you wanna field Dave’s question?

32 Breane 08.05.08 at 7:18 pm

Santa Claus conquers the martians rules! And that leads me to my Family Guy reference… KISS saves Santa!

33 Martha in Washington 08.05.08 at 7:28 pm

Obviously he is the middle child!

34 Not That Mike The Other Mike 08.05.08 at 7:48 pm

@Dave: Sorry, I have gotten so used to people referring to my rather long posting handle by its initials that I just take for granted that everyone knows it, but that was a bit presumptuous of me. Won’t happen again. :-)

35 lurkertype 08.05.08 at 8:00 pm

NTMTOM, the initials make it cuter.

So your brother also could have been named NTMDICK, I guess?

now, folk songs and yo-yos!

36 Erebella 08.05.08 at 8:03 pm

OMG, that’s hilarious! I laughed so hard I shocked a co-worker walking by my office, and of course I had to yank him in here and point breathlessly at the screen while I fell off my chair.

Speaking of falling off my chair, that scene in Labyrinth when they’re running across that stinky moat thing and every single step has a particular sound effect, I nearly passed out laughing, especially when the dog ran across.

37 muttluver 08.05.08 at 8:14 pm

Hilarious! And I think Nom Tom is the best name for Not That Mike The Other Mike. (I picked up on the initial thing fairly quickly.)

38 Fegli 08.05.08 at 8:26 pm

The facial expression is classic! Who says birds don’t feel?

39 Erebella 08.05.08 at 8:42 pm

I know that when I read NTMTOM, my mind goes Nom Tom. Mr. Mike NomTom.

40 Barbara 08.05.08 at 8:48 pm

My mom used to step on my head too and feed my sister :(

*calls therapist*

41 Katrina 08.05.08 at 9:42 pm

Erebella-I always read NOMTOM, too, so that’s how I refer to him. He doesn’t seem to mind.

Do you? Hope not.

42 browngrl 08.05.08 at 10:01 pm

I gotta say cool name: NTM TOM (maybe that’s ’cause I finally figured it out)

44 Marie 08.05.08 at 10:21 pm

I have nothing to say but awwwwwwwww. Just like everyone else. Poor little buddy.

In my family that would be my little brother being fed and me providing the perch for mom. LOL! I’m not kidding! She really loves us all, but she just can’t help babying that boy! ;D

45 Marie 08.05.08 at 10:32 pm

Oh ha-ha! I just saw Barbara’s comment! Maybe we should form a club called the Club of the Stepped On Siblings or something? I’ll write a song for it (country of course). Let’s see the beginning will go “Mommy’s foot on my head…it weighs a ton, but my brother’s fed…”

Okay, you finish! ;D

46 Lisa 08.05.08 at 10:43 pm

I think I just died. Too much.

47 Sonora 08.05.08 at 11:08 pm

That pic is immense!!

NTMTOM = Not That Mike The Other Mike

48 Blanche 08.06.08 at 3:35 am

Jmper, maybe you were too slow at blowing those candles? A lad wants some cake and can’t wait eternally!!

Martha of Washington: not necessarily a middle child. See, we have missed what happened just before and we are judging hastily. That birdie is the eldest and was bickering his brother. Mom arrived and saw that, so she said as she shut that little beggar’s beak: “No dinner for you just now! You get your turn next time… if you’re nice!”

49 catvicc4r 08.06.08 at 3:38 am

LOL hovertext!

50 Martha in Washington 08.06.08 at 5:09 am

Blanche-being a middle child myself I was probably projecting a little bit there.

51 chanpon 08.06.08 at 1:45 pm

*kronsche* “Mom, my neck…”

52 Gail (the first one) 08.06.08 at 2:58 pm

GREAT hovertext, Teho!!!!

@Martha in Wash: I was thinking “middle child”, too!!!!

53 Blanche 08.06.08 at 5:48 pm

Oh Gail, I bet you are also a middle child yourself. I must confess: so am I. Therefore my first thought was “Sigh! That poor young one is likely the middle child.” But looking closely I decided there can’t be a middle child with only two baby birds, now can there?” And I realized I was projecting. Didn’t want to throw a pity party so I imagined a fairer scenario, giving mama boid the benefit of the doubt.

54 Caroline 08.06.08 at 7:47 pm

Yknow… I totally thought of the TV show, Everyone loves Raymond. heh.

55 Theo 08.06.08 at 9:04 pm

Gail1 — not my hover, this time. It’s gotta be NomTom’s.

56 Katrina 08.07.08 at 11:53 am

NOMTOM- oh, pwesume, pwesume!

57 mohan 08.07.08 at 12:20 pm
