Josh & Anna Smuggar: A Series of Unfortunate Events

[Lemur]

And then there's this from Perez Hilton:

The Prodigal apparently was not at Easter dinner.  How very .... Christian as defined by the Duggars.

[Fuzzysox]

Apparently the episode aired in 2012:

MRSJUMBO, your cat may well be the offspring of the Pitcher Kittens. 

 

Also, (and to bring this back on topic), the Inquisitr pulled your story off here (http://www.inquisitr.com/2938584/josh-duggar-spotted-out-with-his-wife-were-they-spending-annas-tlc-paycheck/), and was picked up by Yahoo as well.

Can they just cut and paste from here without permission?

[Celia Rubenstein]

Uhhhhh .... I saw Josh Duggar, too! It was early Monday morning after Easter. He was alone, curled up on a filthy broken down old recliner at the Tontitown dump, weeping. At his feet was an empty pink and yellow basket and the ground around him was covered with candy wrappers.

Tabloids please send my check to me here at PTV! Thanks!

[Mrsjumbo]

I wonder if they had to call Sam's furniture to confirm. Otherwise anyone could make up anything & the story spreads to all of the tabloids. No one contacted me! :)

That article quoted its source as "a poster who calls herself Mrsjumbo." I'm serious! Invoice them!

[NewDigs]

That article quoted its source as "a poster who calls herself Mrsjumbo." I'm serious! Invoice them!

Holy crap! You're right!

"A Previously.TV forum poster going by the screen name MrsJumbo reports that she saw Josh and Anna Duggar passing their baby daughter, Meredith, back and forth while they chatted with another couple at the Springdale, Arkansas furniture store. They were reportedly there with Anna’s sister Priscilla and her husband, David Waller, who were likely in town for the Easter holiday."

Hey, at least they gave credit. That rarely happens.

We can say we knew MrsJumbo when...

[BitterApple]

I'll give them props for crediting the source. Usually they just rip off our words and pass them off as their own.

[Mrsjumbo]

I wonder who the other "source" or "insider" is that also told about the sighting at Sam's & also said Josh was not at Easter dinner?

Also, interesting that my cat might be an offspring of the pitcher kittens! Although after I adopted him I found out he had worms & fleas, & a kink in his tail. So either he was a stray they found & brought to the shelter (commendable!) or they don't care for their outdoor animals at all (spit!).

It can either be TFDW or Famy ratting Josh out about not being at Easter dinner. I find it BS that they wouldn't have him for dinner. I think they are trying to "pretend" that they are shunning him to get back into our graces.

[Barb23]

I'm surprised they didn't mention that Sierra's husband works at Sam's since Sierra has become almost a regular on the show. "A good family friend"™ & all that nonsense. Since they evidently read the boards, they would know that. I like they had to explain about Josh-U-a being called Smugs or Smuggar by us in one of the articles.

[Celia Rubenstein]

Another Smuggar sighting!!!

 

I was just at the Fayetteville Aldis and there was Josh, pushing a cart full of discount tater tots and cream of mushroom soup.  Right behind him was Anna with her own cart overflowing with bananas and yellow cake mix !!!   Looks like they were preparing some kind of Spring Feast or something.   Next time I run into one of them, I promise to take pictures !

From now on every Duggar meal as a family is a 'feast' and every time they grab fast food it's a 'date.

I heard he's so fat he needs a hoveround to shop. When the battery dies he just saddles up Anna. It's the right response in that situation.

How did they look?  Calm, stressed, happy?  How much weight do you think Josh lost?  Was Anna wearing a lot of makeup?  And no kids with them?

[Arwen Evenstar]

There was an FU interwebs episode to show the Duggars care about their animals that showed the kids with a litter of tiny kitties and Michelle encouraged them to put them in one of those plastic pitchers to sleep at night--the kind where you turn the lid to let the liquid out. It was every bit as F#@ed up as it sounds. 

 

ETA I love orange tabbies and am glad you saved him from the Duggars' clutches.

The Duggars would keep their own children in pitchers if they could...just beyond disturbing...perhaps Ggogly Eyes thought the children might be defrauded by trying to figure out what gender the kitties were...who knows what goes thru her batshit crazy mind...

No wonder Josh is as messed up as he is...he might have turned out that way even if his parents were hippies or followed a less conservative dogma...who really knows for sure.

I'm quite partial to orange tabbies myself...

That was my favorite part! Smuggs...or Smuggar.

What, no Chicken-etti fixings?

[Arwen Evenstar]

Sounds to me like Josh's cart is more than a few tater tots short of a tater tot casserole!

[Arwen Evenstar]

Can't believe I posted nearly 2 days ago...and no one has posted anything after me.

I think it goes to prove that even though there would seem to be something to talk about now that Smuggar is back...this family is soooooooo boooooooring that people are getting burned out on snarking about them...what do we call this trend? Smuggar Fatigue?

[yogi2014L]

They are just sooooo fake and boring there is literally nothing to talk about. Imagine if Anna wrote an honest blog about him coming home??  people would be talking non stop for days. They would * SHOCKER* actually be able to connect with other people who maybe have survived infidelity ( can't imagine the married to a molester crowd is too large) but many people get cheated on and stay together. 

 

Anna And Smugger would have a super interesting show if they were honest. Like, how the hell do you navigate your relationship after all this? I would legitimately be interested in watching (along with REAL ACTUAL THERAPY)

I'm thinking Mercy or Miracle in keeping with the "M" theme. It would just be shmaltzy enough to make their groupies go "awwww."

But Moe Lester Duggar if it's a boy?

Give these people's one talent is reproduction Anna will have home birth twins.

[Arwen Evenstar]

They're going to need another toilet for the birth scene.

Oh Margeaux,

Just LOVE your snark!

My bladder almost experienced a loss of containment

I would love nothing more than this family to fade into obscurity. Although I would miss the very witty snark here, it would be worth it.

Flipping channels I see that JBoob & Mechelle are on the "counting on" show. Since Anna's been on too, it's only a matter of time before Smugs makes an appearance. First in the background at a holiday gathering, then playing with his kids & helping out with the manly yardwork at the TTH...

[Arwen Evenstar]

what about

Murgatroid ?

Metamorphosis?

Mogwai?

Milquetoast ?

Mugwump?

I don't think any of those ideas for M5 could be any worse than Spurgeon....

[RazzleberryPie]

Anna is looking very dolled up lately on Counting On. Teased up hair, lots of makeup, definite planned 'outfits' that are fundy trendy.

Not sure if this means she's trying to look extra cute for josh or if she's subtly putting herself on the market. Maybe living in the TTH gives her enough caregivers that she has time to curl her hair 24/7.

Normally I'd say there's no divorce in their world, but she has some biblical justification w/the repeated cheating, and once in a while, you'll get a woman who's had enough and leaves her husband - but usually has the next one lined up first. Can't not have that headship/income provider.

[88Keys]

I'm only a very casual watcher. Can someone explain the toilet birth to me? That didn't really happen....did it?

Yup.  Anna gave birth to Michael, at home, on a toilet with a wooden toilet seat.  Naturally, being the internet, there are pictures of it all over the place plus video on several services.

Not to mention that she allowed the whole thing to be filmed and aired by TLC!  So much for Duggar claims of "modesty."

[88Keys]

But...why? And what is with all the home births? I have some friends who went fun die, and even they manage to have their babies in the hospital.

I think it's part trend, part necessity. Anna and Jessa likely gave birth at home because they had no health insurance. Jill attempted a home birth because she fancies herself as some hippie dippie Earth Mother. Thus far Anna is winning the home birth breeding race. She's 4 for 4 while the Duggar girls are 1 for 2. Honestly, I'd say 0 for 2 considering Jessa required an emergency transfer.

Yes, that's what I noticed too when I saw her. Full makeup, hair looked nice, trendy outfit with ankle booties.

Much different than the old dumpy frumpy skirts to the floor & flip flops.

My theory is they don't understand medicine and fear it, plus they think they're being old fashioned and nostalgic - Jesus was a homebirth (yeah, I know, in a stable - the cow's home). Also, so many of them are dirt poor and uninsured, so they insist on cheaper routes. In the meantime, disparaging mainstream hospital births as heathen makes them feel better about their alternative.

Now that Obama care requires some sort of insurance for everyone, let's see if the hospital births increase again.

So maybe she's hoping Josh will rein in his wandering eye if she doesn't dress like Michelle (although, given his predeliction for his own female family members, who knows?)

She's also trying to make her voice more sweet & softer. She was talking this way in her TH's but talking like the old Anna when she was packing to see Joshley.

Old photos are resurfacing showing Josh Duggar campaigning for Ted Cruz.  I wonder how this will affect the campaign?  Also, Anna's sister Priscilla and husband David Waller are actively supporting Cruz on social media.  Is Cruz the fundie candidate?

All the fundies I follow have supported Cruz straight down the line.

Creepy but in another 10 years Smugs will be Gothard's twin. They look so much alike. Never noticed it before. *shudder*

Why do their faces look like that?

This is one of the most revolting things I've ever seen. It's like the tabloid pics of a goat with two heads, or that poor cyclopian kitten. Some things are so shudderiffic you can hardly look away. God knows what kind of nightmares I'm about to have...
