Woohoo!

Urgh. I actually saw the first half of that segment on TV, but I got disgusted and turned it off before I realized she was going to add freaking Corn Nuts to a cake. What the hell is wrong with her?

Why so scared?-- One thing: it's not love that produces children, it's sex. If those two hated each other, but still regularly put his penis into her vagina, they'd be popping kids out.

Anyhoo, this family disturbs me. The whole premise for them having this many kids is for part of the Quiverful movement, which is creepy enough in its own right. The kids all are home-schooled, and thankfully they are at least somewhat self-sufficient financially, but that just makes them seem even more insular and cult-like. I hadn't been to their site before, and it creeps me out how none of the boys are shown doing housework or childcare to help out. Never mind that they all have matching J names like Jim Bob-daddy, but no M names to match Mommy (or, you know, give them all unique names that don't match anyone).

Oh, and I just love the thinly-veiled racism in some of their supporters, e.g. anytime any mentions "demographics." They'll change the demographics of their area all by themselves! They'll keep white folk being produced, 'cos we're a'skeered of the darkies out-breeding us! Good job, folks. Sterling logic.

There've been some 6-wheeled race cars made before. They didn't catch on.

Sigh-- Even if animals aren't all Disney sweet and emotive, they still feel pain. There is no point in being pointlessly cruel to them. (And I'm far from a vegetarian, but that doesn't mean I think that cows and pigs should be bludgeoned to death in the slaughter process. Or in this case, have food shoveled down their throats through a tube.)

No, the pie hats specifically have been posted before.

I think you'd have more pressing things to worry about if someone were close enough to that dress to be finding your number. ;)

I'm not sure whether that's cute and fun or just kind of sad. The broomstick angle sort of pushes it.

Seems like that would leave the pants permanently stretched out... which I guess could be useful in its own way. =p

While the idea is interesting and marathon sessions of Bizarre Foods have really opened my mind to eating weird things, that just looks way too much like an old pizza that's become infested with worms for my tastes.

Woohoo, 93.94%. Had to really think to remember some of those things, though (but on the other hand, it's only been a couple years since I took a government class).

Forget adult content, kids shouldn't read the books because Edward's a stalker and Bella's a twit who literally has no existence outside Edward when he goes away for a bit (blank pages...just blank pages. Oh, and Bella drops any plans for college or a career or a life when she decides she wants to die and become a vampire before she gets too old.) and together they're the picture of codependent unhealthiness presented as awesome, fabulous twoo luv.

What's scary are the Twilight moms who adore Edward even though they should be old enough to recognize the "unhealthy relationship!" warning signs.

Only a week? That'd be incredibly easy: just stock up on food makings in the previous week, eat in every meal (/pack a lunch), don't even step foot in a coffee shop or movie theater or clothing store (ridiculously easy for such a short period of time), pick a week you don't have to pay any bills...

A month at least, or even two weeks would've been more impressive, but by mooching, he didn't even really accomplish that one single no-spend week. He succeeded at semantics.

Truly, octopuses are the most amazing of the cephalopods.

My first thought was Japanese tentacle monster. On further study, it may well be a balloon Audrey II.

Also, go Lime Cat guy!
