What astounds me the most about the family, is that they have NO DEBT. None. No credit cards, no loans, nothing. They pay cash for everything. Isn't that amazing??
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?
'Safe'
Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That is amazing. That may be how they amange to do it, though. Debt would kill them. Twice.
Meanwhile, their species is perpetuating itself pretty well....
Indeed. Mine isn't dying out, though, despite that we don't reproduce. Like vampires, we get our new ones from the other guys.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Couples who have a bazillion kids just because they love having kids baffle me.
Except I'm pretty sure this family is having kids because they're breeding an army for Jesus when the Rapture comes.
The quiverfull movement freaks me right the fuck out.
[edit:

They also get a lot of free shit from being on TV all the time.]

Which proves that I need to be on tv all the time more.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
They should do product endorsements. Like, for Pampers or something.

Mostly lurking...
One of my dad's cousin has about that many kids...big difference, though. They adopted all but three. They have such a heart for special needs kids. It breaks me. Amazing, giving, loving people.

Ann, that's a ferret.
One of my grandmothers was part of a family of 12. On the other hand, this was on a Midwestern farm 100ish years ago, when another baby + about 5 years meant more help on the farm.

Punishingly Intricate
My aunt's ex-husband was one of 16 or 17. His parents were pretty wack-a-loon. And they had ONE bathroom in the house! ONE! Although the kids were more spaced out then the 17 we've been discussing. I think the oldest was in his/her 20s and out of the house when the youngest was born.
My SiL is one of 8 girls and she says in the town they grew up in in NJ, Mendem?, their family was one of the smaller ones. This was in the 70s. the 1970s.

Could they do negative endorsements? Like, a shot of the entire family, then Trojan Man walks into the shot and says to the camera, "Do you want to end up like these nuts?"
Not that I think it's nutty to have that many kids. Trojan Man does, though.
