Heathen

He would have if he could. His glory days as Pistol Pete, before the real world landed on him.

It's all about numbers and competition for these fundies. If one of them gave a child to Michael, would it still count toward her numbers?

The boxes could be empty, or have something cheap in them (cheap gifts for cheap people). I hate that I just defended Derelict and Clinger.

Weed-whacking.

I never expected a Duggar girl to go botanical.

She doesn't look nearly as big here as in the photo with Austen. My guess is her shitty posture makes her look bigger at times. Maybe cousin Famy said, "Hey, dumbass, stand up straight so people don't think you were a harlot like me." Joy looks about fourteen in this photo. I'm so sad for her even though she never knew any different.

If Jessa is pregnant, will Jilly actually throw herself on the ground and have a tantrum when she finds out?

When Bill GotHard developed a fetish for them. Ew.

Was it real insurance or some Christian pool insurance scam?

Right down to the overly long, unstyled hair and the gummy smile.

Look how skinny Jilly's arms are. I know it's partly the angle, but damn, it reminds me of how skinny Smuggar was before and just after he was married. Derelict used to be almost cute, in a dorky kind of way.

Maybe she just doesn't remember the specific number. I doubt I'd remember something that relatively trivial a year and a half later.

The Bateses need to lay off the Instagram filters. Whitney barely looks human.

Were you acute?

That post was actually pretty funny, people.

I have a leather purse that bears a striking resemblance, in color and texture, to Mullet's skin.

In her defense, the hand sex was before he got meat sweats. He was a skinny dork until the year after they were married (appearance-wise -- I'm not talking about his personality defects).

I remember reading the date beforehand and then waiting to see pictures of the dress. I'm sorry about your dad.

They bought a house in Laredo. I don't foresee them going anywhere for a good long while.

I forgot about the Maxhells. How many grandchildren have the daughters-in-law churned out now? ETA: Ten. I notice the Maxhell blog's list of grandchildren doesn't include the first grandchild, who lived only a few days. Hypocrites! ETA: To clarify.

No, that was Gil Bates. He quit a good job with Nabisco to become a tree trimmer and have a shitload of children.

I don't think preferring shoes has much to do with staying out of harm's way. My feet hurt like hell if I don't wear good shoes all the time, so I go barefoot only in the shower. I still have a pretty spiffy immune system, too.

I don't think her hair is really that sparse. It's just that her hair is almost the same color as her skin. If you look at her forehead, her hairline is at a normal level.

It bothered my grandmother a little when people teased her (even though she herself had an out-of-wedlock child after her divorce). My great-grandmother said, "If my parents had let me marry Claude when I wanted to, it never would have happened."

I always find it amusing when bible thumpers get caught, metaphorically, with their pants down. The born-agains I knew growing up were the biggest sluts in town (male and female). I do hope Kendra was never blamed or shamed for being conceived out of wedlock. Heck, my grandmother was born eight months after her parents were married, in rural Nebraska, in 1929.
