Mother's Day

As the new kid on the block, I thought I'd take the O-Week approach to things and come not by myself and not with a few choice friends, but rather with a small army of buck-toothed, mulleted companions. 19 3/20*, to be exact.

Meet the Duggars. You may recognize them from the Discovery Channel, where they were featured between specials on Alpine Whistling Tree Frogs and interior design. Michelle, of Little Rock, AR, has utilized her uterus and a couple other organs to produce 17 little Duggars, irreparably damaging the human gene pool forever. She just announced that she is pregnant with baby #18.

Note that her not being pregnant is referred to as "an in-between stage" and that when she announced that she was in fact pregnant again, #1 and #4 (#2 and #6?) seemed vaguely interested, but #2, #3, and #5-17 had no reaction whatsoever.

I personally recommend naming the new one Jesus and just getting it over with. Regardless, you can vote here.
