[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.
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 pay cash for everything. Isn't that amazing??
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.
They should do product endorsements. Like, for Pampers or something.
NOT Trojans, though. IJS.
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.
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.
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.
NOT Trojans, though. IJS.
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.
They also get a lot of free shit
Yes, this. Which makes you wonder if they could sustain their lifestyle if they stopped having children (and thus lost the renewed media attention when a new baby is born upping the numbers) and had to rely on "It's been 10 years, where are they now?" specials.

Well, she's 40, so they can't keep this up *too* much longer.
