Baby number 17 on the way for our favorite creepy cult family, the Duggars.

My God, it's like Cletus the Slack Jawed-Yokel walks among us.
My favorite name, by the way, is "Jinger."
All the names sound normal - except "Jinger."

I did some Google research, and they've got nine to go to catch up with Cletus and Brandine:
Their kids: Tiffany, Heather, Cody, Dylan, Dermott, Jordan, Taylor, Brittany, Wesley, Rumer, Scout, Cassidy, Zoe, Chloe, Max, Hunter, Kendal, Katlin, Noah, Sasha, Morgan, Kira, Ian, Lauren, Q-bert, and Phil.
Sperm away, Duggars!

Q-bert?

@&$%!!! ;)

Good God, that lady's uterus must be made of cast iron.

That covers almost every trendy name of the last decade or so...um yeah except Q-bert. That's hideous.

That and the Grand Canyon.

Didn't Cletus and Brandine give their kids another set of names recently? I swear I remember "Lindsay" and "Dubya" in the episode where Lisa volunteers to tutor them.

I think you might be right... and there were a lot less of them in that episode.

Squirting out kids like a Pez dispenser...

Don't ask why, but my wife and I have watched a couple of the TV shows on these folks and I'm at a loss to figure out why in this day and age, you need 17 kids. Sorry if this offends, but this isn't the 1820s, when you need to pop out kids so a few could live to adulthood.

I'm also at a loss as to what Jim Bob Duggar does for a living. I know he used to be an Arkansas state rep, but you oughta see this house they built. Incredible -- and that family (with a little help) built it themselves.

I know it's Snakes Navel, Arkansas, but how do you support 17 kids without a trust fund? Those shows never seem to point that out.

 

[Second Thoughts]

You know it's a wonder they can even have sex with so many kids around. I thought childbirth killed most sex in marriages.

 

[Shaggy]

What a *****.

 

[farmerjerome]

I admitt it. I've watched every single one of these psychopath specials and I'm hooked.

We have a thread on them from time to time, and someone always wonders what will happen when one of these kids comes out.

It's so creepy to watch the family in their matching clothing.

Now there is a loose *****. Hot dog going down a hallway.

Now there is a loose *****. Hot dog going down a hallway.

"So is there any tread on the tires? Or is it like throwing a hot dog down a hallway?"

"It's been a faith walk," he said, "but it's been amazing to see how God works."

Easy to say when you're not the one squeezing out 16 babies.

I agree. The devoutly religious who keep having children always say that "God will provide" for them.

I'd like to ask, say, children 4-5-6 if they feel God has provided for them. They're not the oldest, so they don't get that claim to fame. But they're old enough to change diapers and babysit for the younger ones. They're far enough down in the pack that they've likely never owned a new piece of clothing or pair of shoes. I'm sure by kid number 7 or 8 they have to get new items because the hand-me-downs are so worn through. I would guess they suffer from an extreme sense of the "middle child complex". Hell, I'd be surprised if their father can remember their names.

God does provide. He provided science with a way to create birth control so people could only have those children they could financially provide for.

Great points Cadet.

I wonder about this mother when the babymaking equipment shuts down for good. Anyone who is pregnant 17 times has to enjoy the heck out of it on an emotional level. Will her sense of self-worth disappear when she can't make babies? When that last baby hits age 2-3 or so and there's no more cooing darlings in the house, will she be able to handle it?

Aw heck, maybe this is the Honda Civic of reproductive systems and she'll just go on conceiving into her 60s. More chat fodder for us.

When I was growing up, one of my friends was the oldest of (eventually) 12 children.

I remember, one day, when we were about 12 or so, when he simply observed: "You know, my mom and dad must like to **** a lot."

"Yeah, I guess so," was my answer. What else is there to say??
