Teh Dash Board
Hi all, Lady Doctor Missus Marita here. As requested, this is the Official SadlyNaut Studebaker Arrival Prediction Thread. If you’ve posted a prediction on the birth of Studie in one of the previous threads, please repost it here (and possibly link to your original comment, if you’re so inclined). Even if you haven’t posted a prediction, feel free to add one now. The due date is technically 9/15 (or 9/14 by early ultrasounds). The current Studie container has been having fairly frequent false labor contractions for nine days now. Give it a shot on date, time, weight, and length. Closest guess wins The Dash Pot — a fabulous (or fabulously horrific) prize that has yet to be determined.
Oh, and so you all know little Studie’s proper name will be Dashiell, making him Dash M. Not to be confused with an em dash.

You people have good taste. Add my +1 to the props on “Dashiell” too.

I predict little Studie (sp?) will be born 10:50 PM EDT Friday, September 11. (Yes, 9-11, although just barely.) Don’t know enough about the length or weight of an average baby to venture a guess on either.

And looking back through the thread, I see arguingwithsignposts has almost my exact same prediction, and that he (or she) is also sticking to it. Again, though, I think both predictions are probably now out of the running, so no matter.

k, i’m a fan of both Raymond Loewy’s designs & Dashiell Hammett’s hardboilers, so i’m thinkin’ he’ll have some kinda’ streamlined Humphrey Bogart private-gumshoe look, no facial hair, head hair slicked straight back w/ BrylCream, w/ mebbe a hint of a cleft to his chin. Also, given his dad, he’ll arrive w/ several footnotes attached, so make sure you read the fine-print carefully.
i’ll go w/ 9/13 @ 10:47 AM. Since i’ve no personal experience w/ these little critters, i won’t venture into guessing weight & length, let’s just say that initially he will appear ‘average’, but will advance into the ‘exceptional’ category rather quickly.
Smut Clyde said,
September 11, 2009 at 7:48

They all start off looking like little reptiloid aliens and you wonder if the maternity crew have pulled some sort of substitution. No need to worry unless the reptilian physiognomy persists for more than a year.

Weight: 7 lbs 6 oz
Length: 19.75″
Time/date: damn, this is tough, because I don’t know whether to pick midnight on 9/14 (i.e., the middle of 9/14 and 9/15) or noon on 9/15. I also don’t know if the predicted due date has been adjusted for the fact that first babies are typically a bit late. I’m going to assume that it has been, and I’m going to discount (but not entirely reject) the original 9/14 estimate. By making these adjustments to the mathematical model (“taking a wild-ass guess, for short) I’m going to predict 9/15 at noon.

No predictions as to date and time, however I do think the delivery crew needs to be prepared : Studie is going to come out in full gear and swinging a gaolie stick.

I keep coming back to this thread to see what best wishes the Lunch Lady will bring. I’m worried that she’ll turn up late and angry that she wasn’t invited, and curse Studebaker with Brussels Sprouts.

Doesn’t matter how hungry you are; you have to wait ’till lunchtime, kid.

18th. 3.54 PM. 23 in. 8 lb 8 oz. You go grrl and deliver a big healthy boy :-)
Hey, don’t laugh. That’s still not huge … the youngest of my two daughters was like 22 in. 9 lb 8 oz when she was born – and she was dwarfed by her big sister. She was 23 in. 10 lb 13 oz – never got to wear any of the normalish sized stuff people had bought as gifts in advance :-)

September 16th, 10:17 AM.
I predict he’ll be born with tats- His right knuckles will read “BOOK”, his left knuckles will read “MARK”, and his forehead will read “THIS!”. At the age of seventeen, he will make history by venturing into the wild and subduing the last living Republican with a jab-cross combo followed up with a Glasgow Kiss. He will then bring the last living Republican on earth to the San Francisco Zoo to be put on display, where it will die without issue, there being no female of the species in existence.
Good luck with the delivery, and excellent choice of name!

It’s not “srupid baker,” it’s Stew the Baker.

Not dyslexia- picture it from the perspective of the guy on the receiving end.

On the knuckle-tattoo issue, I opted for “RIGHT” and “LEFT”.
That’s one less thing I need to remember.

OK, Dash. But really? If Dashiell gets shortened to Dash shouldn’t STUDebaker get shortened to Stud?
I made a bold, courageous prediction previously and I stand by it*:
So in english that’s let’s see 2.9 okka * 2.821 916 956= 8.183 559 172 3 pounds and Saturday at 01.30 UMT, subtract 5 for Boston time DEAR GOD WOMAN HE”S CROWNING NOW!!!!!
*valid for certain values of “stand”; may involve mandated triggers. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

That’s about the circumference of the Earth’s orbit, I think.
Does anyone still use Ångström units? These days all the cool kids seem to measure wavelengths in nanometres.

I was wedded to the idea that Dash would arrive on Labor Day, lustily singing the Internationale. Since my date has passed, I won’t pick another. (I like the idea of 9/9/09 as well, but that day came and went too).
I was interrupted in writing this comment by one of those cat-related disasters that prove that feline grace is highly overrated. The cats, in the midst of one of their heated battles, leapt on to the counter. We’d just returned from the store not long before, and an open paper bag was sitting on the counter. Apparently, our 15 pound ginger female decided that the best way to get away from the svelt bombay – a much faster pussycat – was to jump into the bag and hide. Bag containing cat hits the floor with resounding thud! Water dish, filled by Candy just minuts before, goes flying! Hilarity ensues, for anyone not Candy, who gets to clean up this mess.
The mortified cats are now retired to their respective corners. I’m going to bed.

Well since Studie’s tainted with that librul gene, it sure as heck aint gonna be September 15th. I’m guessing September 16.
6:66 AM
6 lbs 6.6 oz.
6+6+6 = 18 inches.
And Pastor Swank feels a disturbance in the Force.

Bohr radii – conversion is tougher than just diddling an exponent. Unless you’re fixated on powers of ten and don’t mind big numbers – then root Barns.

Haven’t heard otherwise, so I assume the blessed event is still to take place–that means it’s now almost 3 hours past my prediction. Congratulations to whoever finally wins this thing.
Re: Angstrom units–I remember learning that the wavelength of visible light was between 4000-8000 Angstroms, back when I was young (a long time ago), but I’m pretty sure nanometers are the preferred unit now. Unless you’re talking about microwaves or infrared waves, which are now measured in micrometers (or “microns” in my day).

After much calculation, my prediction:
September 17th
17:25 EDT
7 lb. 2 oz.
19 inches
Tiebreaker (total score in championship game): 17
And so, I feel confident that . . . wait, what?
Let me just say congratulations to the new parents, and best wishes to Mr. Dashiell!
