P is at work, which means I have a bit more freedom to watch all the "crap" (as he would call it) I want on TV. Presently, I am watching a show called "17 Kids and Counting" on TLC. The family pictured above is REAL. And the mom either just had or is about to have her 18th child! As you can tell from their hair and clothes, they are uber religious -- "be fruitful and multiply" and all that. They live in what looks like a metal barn and have several sets of appliances. I just saw their laundry room and it has at least 4 sets of washers/driers. It seems to me that by the time she's done, her "parts" are going to fall right out. There doesn't appear to be an end to how many kids they will have.They just got into a discussion about the "evils of porn on the Internet". In case you're wondering (and you're probably not), the oldest sisters and mom will sometimes go to the Library to "go on the Internet", but they don't have online access at home. I would ask how people used to live without the Internet, but that's pretty obvious just from the few minutes I've watched of this show.

AND, the Dad's name is Jim Bob!
AND, they are going to a religious theme park (wasn't that a Simpson's episode) in Branson, MO!
I wonder when they have time to conceive!
D, your Grandfather had 18 brothers and sisters...
Right, Steve, BUT... they lived on a farm and it wasn't 2008. This is the age of machines and cars. And birth control.
And also, I have a distant cousin that is almost as bad. The last time I checked, she had double-digit kids.
I should also point out that the family doesn't listen to rock and roll because it causes people to dance which is "evil".
yea a little extreme I guess.
Who has kids in the double digits?
Well, if not double digits then close enough. I'm not sure that you've met the Williamson clan at all, or if so, it was probably a long time ago and once or twice? Grandma Ginny's side.
