Is that supposed to be guacamole in the heart-shaped bowl? It looks like pureed broccoli.

It's got that same weird shine to it her chicken slop dish had.  Did she add a stick of butter to it or something? My guacamole doesn't have that oily sheen. And it's certainly not that runny.

Sorry but that just looks like a heart shaped bowl of green snot. Yech

 

It's Campbell's Cream of Guacamole Soup.

I’m fairly certain what I consider “the right people” is vastly different than his.

Vastly, vastly different.

Derick is an insufferable jerk. Just tell people to be sure to vote. Asshole.

Derick is an idiot. The theme wasn't high school stereotypes it's Riverdale, a popular teen show. I'm surprised he didn't have a problem with the guys wearing the girls cheerleading costume.

This makes me wonder if he's dropped out and trying to hide it. Why show a picture from last month?

Just say if you have one or not Derrick.

It's been a cold, windy snowy blustery day here, so I'm making enchiladas. Real food. No cream of anything. My son just got home from school, and he's having a real yogurt snack. Take a note Jilly.

We've had two (?) special elections in my city this year. One really important one to vote on a new high school was in April I think. (I'm so bad) So it could be she was voting in a special election in May.

[GeeGolly]

Last month was Halloween. Maybe Derick's classmates tricked the Fundy boy into dressing up for Halloween.

Does she not understand that “merica” has a very negative connotation???

Looking at those couple of photos of Sam after having read all of @mynextmistake 's brilliant stories, I can't help but sense all sorts of diabolical plans (as per Stewie's regarding Lois) swirling around in his head...Those expressions are priceless!

I'm sure she does not understand that. It does seem appropriate coming from her, though. And no, that's not a compliment.

Law school students dressing up for spirit week?  Does that seem odd to anyone else? Where did Dreck get that expensive letterman's jacket?  Oh, wait, did he go to Rogers High School or something like that?

I guess I've continued to dress up for Halloween parties for all of my adult life, but this just surprises me for graduate school students.

[madpsych78]

I'm trying to figure out the second picture of Derick's costuming though. Does that mean he dressed like the 80s or 90s?

Sam does kind of look like Stewie in those pictures!

Check out the JD and Abbie thread for context. Oh, and this is the last one i’ll be able to do for a while, so enjoy!

Day 496. Today was a very curious day. I was removed from my cell only slightly after dawn by the female guard. After serving a breakfast “casserole” tasting of canned soup and sadness, she and the male guard loaded Yaaay and I into the car and secured us in our restraints. Based on the clothing with which we were provided, I assumed we were to spend the day toiling in one of the nearby chicken yards. However, when Yaaay asked them about our intended destination, the male guard said we were going to a wedding in a neighboring fiefdom called “Oklahoma.”

After a very long journey, during which our male guard prattled incessantly about the years he spent in Oklahoma cavorting on a field in a giant fiberglass head, we stopped briefly at an establishment my captors called “Chick fill it.” They ordered a large paper sack of fried food, the dregs of which they fed to Yaaay and I without freeing us from our restraints. Oh, how I long for a green vegetable, or a piece of fruit that does not come from a can of sugary syrup! After finishing their peasant’s repast, the male guard continued to drive and in a short time we arrived at a large building filled with other captives and their guards. The wedding itself, a curious spectacle in which two people stood on an altar while an old man discussed their reproductive plans with the audience, took only a few moments. I looked for opportunities to escape, but none were forthcoming. 

Our captors then put us back into the car and drove us to another location. It appeared to be a large garage decorated with crepe paper and photos of the man and woman from the altar. As I stood watching the male guard eat from a plate of fried meat and donuts, I noticed an airplane parked outside the garage. The female guard said that it was the vehicle in which the couple from the altar were leaving for their honeymoon. At last I saw my chance! If I could manage to secret myself in the cargo hold, I could accompany them to their destination and sneak away unseen. I started making my way toward the plane, mentally calculating the amount of torque I would need to apply to the lug nuts on the cargo hold in order to open the door. I was almost to freedom when I was rudely seized by an unfamiliar male guard who smelled of Axe body spray and desperation. He proceeded to physically restrain me for several minutes while requesting passers by to take our photograph, undoubtedly for use in yet another propaganda piece. He then insisted on returning me to the male and female guard, who returned me to the vehicle and put me back in my restraints for the long drive back to thr wretched hovel in which I am imprisoned. Once we arrived, I was immediately returned to my cell, where I finished this entry. I will now hide this journal inside the vegetable steamer in the kitchen, where I can trust it will lay safely until I can take it up again.

That was awesome!

If Derick wanted to emulate James Dean/Fonzie/male Grease characters etc. from the 50s, he should have lost the vest and worn blue jeans instead of those black pants he wore. Bonus points if he included a leather jacket. 

Otherwise, with his current outfit he looks more like Duckie from Pretty in Pink. 

[Nysha]

Jill's just got to be thrilled that while she's stuck at home with the boys all day thinking Derick is hard at work studying to be a famous lawyer, he's actually pretending to be a 22-year-old college student doing all the things the "cool kids" are doing. Like dressing up like idiots and pretending to be high school students because those are things that non-traditional students with families do. Unless you're at my college where most of the college students Derick's age also have jobs, as do their spouses, and there is that rush for one to pick up the kids at daycare while the other stops at the store for milk. Rarely do they participate in the frivolous college activities because they have real responsibilities waiting for them when their classes are over.

[JoanArc]

It's like Derick can't help but look awkward in every picture he's in.

I've lived in both the north and the south and I've heard the term both places and it's never had a negative connotation. It's always been used humorously. A friend of mine posted a picture on social media last week with a picture of a hamburger sandwiched between two glazed donuts and hash tagged it with 'merica. 

I also googled the term and nothing negative came up. The dictionary even defined the term as humorous and said it was used to emphasize qualities stereotypically regarded as American as well as fervent patriotism. 

I'm not from the US but I always thought it was 'murica with a U that held the negative connotations. Like 'muh guns muh freedoms 'murica yeah!' Redneck-y jingoism rather than patriotism kind of thing.

Not to rag on her appearance too much, but Jill looks kind of harsh in that first pic. How stressful must life with Derick be for her to already have that many lines under her eyes at her age? Here's a tip, Jill: sunscreen is your friend.

Jill acts and writes like a ( poorly educated) teenager so I think that we all forget she is 27!! Almost 30! I am 30 and I have some wrinkles around my eyes ( especially when smiling) now as well. She probably isn't wearing makeup and yeah probably wasn't using a ton of suncreen growing up. But I know people who are around my age who have similar lines.  Mine look worse when I am tired/dehydrated ect. 

It is more jarring on her because she simply just acts and dresses way younger than she is.

For all intents and purposes, she is a poorly educated teenager.

Derrick is an idiot.

The uniform/costume for a Greaser/Teddy Boy is a white t-shirt, jeans, and slicked back hair (and like you said, @madpsych78, a leather jacket is perfect to top it off). 

Source: Have watched Grease a bazillion times & seen it performed several times.  Watched Happy Days in syndication as a kid.  Read numerous cultural studies and anthropological/sociological works about the Teddy Boys.  Also, my father was a greaser (see his sophomore picture from his high school yearbook).

 

The jacket is borrowed...he showed up to school that day in the white t-shirt and jeans.  The staff convinced him to wear the jacket (he was one of the few young men not in a suit jacket in their high school yearbook that year). 

ETA: Pic/yearbook is from late 1950s.

I believe this is the first time I laughed out loud at a post of Derick’s. This was a response by him under the Instagram pictures of students in “costume”. (The people he chooses to respond to are interesting, note the name, and just imagine what posts by this person are like!!)

@duggarbreeders we get points for participating (students 1 point, professors 3 points), I’m competitive, our section won, we got donuts in class last week as our prize! So I’d say it was worth it :)

Why does Sam's box say "Israel's Box" on it if it's a new thing?

Derick is 30 and the highlight of his life is a free donut.

Sorry I can't get rid of the extrabecause I can spell.neous quotes. I only meant to ask if the Duggar kids actually played board games. Gothard seemed against sports and competition, so maybe Jill never played  board games. A shame really, I remember my family had Saturday game nights sometimes Monopoly or the game of Life, sometimes Poker or Hearts...
