The Urban Dictionary says a whole lot of shit that should be jettisoned to the bottom of the Marianas Trench.

Agreed--it is of concern to all of us. And will add that MOST of us would take extraordinary precautions to avoid conception under the direct threat of Zika. I'm not convinced the Duggars would take those precautions, and that's where Zika could become a Duggar-specific problem. Michelle sallied forth with her 20th pregnancy even after the hell of her pre-eclamptic pregnancy and precipitous early birth of micro-premie Josie. With her own ignorant lips she spouted a twisted interpretation of John 15:13 in order to justify knowingly endangering her life to have a 20th baby: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." She simpered on television, in so many words, that dying in the process of having a 20th child would be a great, glorious sacrifice on her part. That's sheer madness, and leaves me zero confidence that her daughters and sons will use intelligence and science-based reasoning to manage their own fertility.

You, dear Churchie, are the Queen of Everything today.

Mosquitos are quite adept at biting right through clothes, too. It's happened to me many times. They need to get the hell out of there.

I don't find the idle chatter about Meri's catfisher any more or less boring than the idle chatter about Meri, or any of the other Browns. Either way, it's not like I expect to come here and find something IMPORTANT AND SIGNIFICANT. This is where I drop in for a few seconds of mindless web snark--I don't expect it to be perfectly tailored to my personal tastes. If I want enlightenment, I'll read Bertrand Russell.

I really hope those two are practicing birth control--and I don't mean using "OFF." http://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/nine-pregnant-us-women-confirmed-have-been-infected-zika

And I see today's post here has disappeared.

Woo! Somebody's been tapping the coffee brandy again.

Quite possibly the finest string of syllables I've read in a week. JEL, you win the giant crown of diction:

Because I'm a shameless attention monger, I have to lay claim to breaking the news of "Trashgate." While trying to verify an unrelated claim about their homes, I stumbled across the lien and hurried over here to tattle. If JO mentioned it anywhere, it was news she found while creeping us here on PTV. Now please excuse me while I try to go find myself a little bit of a life. *slinks away

How fun. Maybe next halloween. I live in a little hippie town, too. Hmm....

Yep...me too.

Exactly. When you take a truly off-beat situation: 19 kids, polygamists trying to live as though their lives are just like mine, etc. I tune in to have a gander at The Thing that makes them odd, and see how they manage everyday life with whatever weird tangent their life has. How DOES a mother handle double digit kids? How do the plygs handle trading off their man for anniversaries. But TLC forever reverts to trips that don't jive with reality, massive parties, and spending whole episodes shoveling out cooked-up plots with scripted lines that don't ring with any truth at all. The only time the show is genuinely entertaining is when somebody goes "off book"--like having a kid fall into an orchestra pit, or when you gather the young'uns to announce mama's 19 pregnancy, and the only kid smart enough to understand what a shitty idea that is reacts with distress, and is promptly hustled off-camera by Big Daddy Vice Grip.

Just watched. YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!1! Real chemistry, smoking hot chemistry. I'm so happy for this turn of events. And Deanna Walker. Now way that herd didn't eat her all up, but I'm all kinds of willing to suspend disbelief just to see her that way and to get that interesting tidbit about Carl bringing her to Spencer because it was her family. Delighted that Jesus has arrived.

You guys are cracking me up. No, it's not duct tape. It's a hideous fabric that has a weird plasticit-y shine, and the crooked way it sits makes it look like something a homeless person rigged up with a Hefty cinch sack and a roll of duct tape. $41. They are so clueless.

I couldn't bear to turn the sound on--just the video in blessed silence. What I noticed first and couldn't look away from was the defrauding gray-green bulging legs of the...whatever she is. Second, yes--Michelle grinding out her joyful countenance. Ick, ick, ick.

*SLURP

Brought over from the Josh thread. Okay, here's my questions, fellow posters: I stopped actually watching 19 kids shortly after Josie came home (and I only watched sporadically for a while before that), so I don't really know the actual details of the laundry room breakdown. Can I get an explanation? Thanks!

Taking a question about this to the Jim-Boob and J'chelle thread.

Well, that's good news. Christine was killing herself in the real estate biz. I mean COME ON, how much back-breaking flag-hanging can a gal DO???

It's a little ironic that the ugliest bag costs much more than the others. I guess they want us to think that if the designer says it's worth that much then it MUST be. I'd give a pie to have a look at the MSWC financials.

Good thing they're hiding out in Las Vegas. Whew!

That's a good picture of Janelle.

I just went over to MSWC--because it's been awhile and I might want to order up something for my birthday next month--and the first thing my eye landed on was this, um fabulous bag, made of genuine upholstery fabric and duct tape. A steal at FORTY-ONE FREAKING DOLLARS. Somehow they just don't seem to be trying.

I read fiction and write fiction. Trust me: JO's blog and twitter activity is not comparable to fiction. It's simply the blathering of a deceitful, thieving, liar who is such a loser in life that she has to invent life instead of going out and fucking LIVING a life. Of course, YMMV.
