Hey hey fans of polygamy! Welcome back for another exciting episode of Sister Wives. Followed by another exciting episode of Sister Wives. Yes kids, I think I’ve gotten to the root of the confusion experienced by Flipit and myself last week. See, really this show is an hour long, but since Mormons are fucking weird they pretend like the show is a half-hour long, but then air two new episodes in a row every single week. Ummm… What is the point of all this? Besides making it difficult for me to mark an episode number when filling out my recaps? Fuck you, entire state of Utah.
Utah: Ripe for the fucking
If you’re just now joining us, then read the last two recaps, ya lazy ass! They’re all on here, okay? Take some initiative and click through to find them. I can’t hold your hand all the bloody time. Oh, and since the TLC network has something against full episodes being available online, these crappy screen shots are pictures of my TV that I took while recapping. You’re welcome.
So this week, Yf3 is giving birth to her most recent unfortunately named child. Yf3 tells us how much her unborn fetus loves the rest of the family, because she kicks like mad whenever her brothers and sisters come around. Maybe she’s trying to escape? Maybe she’s trying to kick some sense into you before that ridiculous name winds up on her birth certificate.
That’s Morse Code for, “Name me something else”
Anyway, Truly (the fetus) is a week overdue, so it’s off to the doctor while Bro-dad’s girlfriend (not wife, mind you) watches the smaller chitlins and cries about her broken family. Look shoog, just because your family is broken doesn’t mean you need to go gluing it to a bunch of other families.
Mommy’s just giving you a name tag cause I have no idea who the fuck you are…
Alpha-Wife is supportive of the skinny bitch (at least while Skinny Bitch is around) and looks right at the camera and says, “Who says where the line is drawn of who you can love?” Ummm… Maybe it’s just because I’m gay, but I’m pretty sure the Mormon Church has been trying to draw that line between me and the lesbians I like to get nakey with for years.
Yeah! What she said.
So back at the hospital, Yf3 and Bro-dad realize that it’s the 13th of the month and that this will be his 13th child and seriously get retard-excited over the notion of it being born that day. That’s a great reason to induce labor. For whimsy. Fuck your Yf’s health. Fuck your baby’s health. Let’s make a lame number connection.
If only there were a 13th month…
The three non-preggo wives explain that most polygamists have home births because they’re scared of hospitals finding out about their morally ambiguous lifestyles. Yf3 has had a miscarriage though, so they’re taking the safe route and using actual doctors and epidurals and stuff. I’m pretty sure maternity wards don’t run background checks on expecting parents, so the obvious solution here is to just lie. Or… ya know… Just marry one person and don’t let him bring home new wives whenever the mood strikes him.
TLC sent cameras, so we knew something was up
Back at Skinny-Bitch’s place, Skinny Bitch announces to the brood that Yf3 is about to push yet another “Y” baby out of her vagyna. See what I did there? Vagyna.
Bro-Dad goes to Skinny-Bitch’s to help load up the kids, and while he’s there Yf3’s water breaks. While they’re “Hustling” to get everyone to the hospital on-time, the cameras catch Bro-Dad sneaking off to make-out with his skinny fiance while his poor fat Yf is in labor. Yeah, this guy’s a keeper. I can see why he wouldn’t want to limit himself to just one wife. Or two. Or three.
Busted!!!
Yf3’s eldest child Aspyn is attending the birth, although I can’t imagine why any child would want to see that. It’s gross in general, but imagine how much grosser it would be to stare down your own mother’s vagina. ***shudder***
Back over with Skinny Bitch and the little ones (band name! Woot!), the girls are playing dolls, with four mommy dolls and one daddy doll. In the most fucked up version of sharing EVER, Skinny Bitch tells the children not to fight over the daddy doll, because they have to share him just like the real mommies have to share him. For the second time in two minutes, ***shudder***
Douche-bag Ken. (Lexus sold separately)
Oh hey, it’s time for pushing. You guys excited??? Yeah, me neither. I find it really strange when couples want to tape their children’s births. When would you want to watch that tape? You know what’s even weirder? Letting the TLC Network videotape your labor and broadcast it for the world to see.
Oh yeah, that’s a memory you’ll wanna freeze in time
Okay, either there was some super creative editing, or that woman has pushed enough babies out her vagina that they just sorta slide out now, because there’s no sweating or screaming or sheet-clenching, or even lamaaz breathing. She seems calm as a Hindu cow, and then there’s a baby. Okay, I think we may have gotten to the root of why Bro-Dad keeps bringing in new wives. Having sex with that woman has gotta be like landing a single-engine Cessna in the Grand Canyon.
Hellllooooo (helllooo….helllloooo….)
So Truly is healthy and happy and still sadly named Truly. God, you parents are dicks. Seriously. The wives and kids all load into a caravan and head to the hospital to visit the new addition. There are hugs and pictures and tears, and then someone has to take the baby away from Sally Struthers before she eats it.
Feed the Children… To ME!!!!!
Okay, so that brings us to intermission. Seriously, why do I have to watch end credits, and then the stupid opening credits again? This is dumb. If it wants to be a half-hour show then it should just be one. Make up your damn mind!!! There’s a bisexuality joke in there somewhere, but I’m too busy making fun of these fucked up straight people to come up with it.
You’re super cute! Sorry about your name. And your dad. And that whole Utah thing.
So, after the second time in 30 minutes of having to hear that moron husband say “Love should be multiplied, not divided” we’re onto act 2. Seriously though, what the fuck does that even mean? If four wives doesn’t divide your love then what does? How do you divide your love if not through DIVIDING it??? Grrrr.
Multiplying Love…
Okay, so Alpha-Wife, who’s looking oranger by the minute, tells us it’s her 20th anniversary. Guess how she’s gonna spend it? Going with the other two wives to buy a wedding ring for wife number four. Haha. I’m saving this episode so that when one of my friends calls me bitching about how she spent her anniversary watching her husband play Gears of War 2, I’ll be able to say, “At least you didn’t spend it buying a ring for his new skinnier hotter wife.” That oughta calm em down.
Do you have a ring that will make someone fat?
Sally Struthers explains that when they’re out in public buying wedding rings and such, people will ask them how they’re all related, and they just tell everyone they’re sisters. Because using the term ‘Sister Wives’ brings about a lot of judgmental prejudice behavior. I feel for them on that. I really do. I would feel for them a whole lot more if they weren’t part of the church that’s made its mission in life the prevention of my homo-brethren being able to marry. Not that I’ve heard any homo-phobic comments from this family yet. They may be some of those super accepting Mormons, which I know exist. I’ll be nice and not assume that they hate me and my muff-diving ways until they prove otherwise.
Win!
Ooh! I just saw a caption on the TV and realized that Skinny-Bitch’s name is Robyn with a ‘Y’. No wonder they brought her in. These people are all about Y’s.
In the multi-family kitchen, Mariah is telling Bro-Dad that she hates going to public school and wants to go back to home-schooling. She also drops the bombshell that she wants to joint the military when she turns 18. She says she wants to go to the Naval Academy in Annapolis to learn to be a doctor. Bro-Dad is worried that because the polygamist school she goes to isn’t accredited, she won’t be able to go. They discuss sending her to a regular school so that she can get an actual diploma and have a chance, and then Bro-Dad tells her that joining the military is a major commitment, like marriage. Ummm… Not like your marriage, dude. Don’t think The Navy looks too kindly on you also joining up with Canadian Royal Guard and Swiss Army at the same time.
Munitions should be multiplied, not divided.
Alpha-Wife and Bro-Dad are getting ready for a fancy dinner date to celebrate their anniversary. Alpha-Wife expresses sadness over her inability to get knocked up anymore after the first kid. To make up for twenty years of failed impregnation attempts, and the added stress of a new skinny fiance, Bro-Dad is also taking her to Mexico. But not before Bro-Dad spends twenty minutes tousling his hair trying to cover his male-pattern-baldness. After that fails, he just gets in his Lexus. Good call dude.
Oh yeah, that’s the look
Bro-Dad and Alpha-Wife make awkward small-talk over dinner. Alpha-Wife says it’s because she’s feeling insecure about the new skinny wife, and a waitress comes and breaks the tension by setting off a pyrotechnic display at their table.
Glad there’s sparks somewhere at this table…
After the fireworks end, Alpha-Wife tries to explain that Bro-Dad would be devastated if she was into another guy. Bro-Dad calls it vulgar and says it sickens him, but to his credit, he does acknowledge that he’s a giant hypocrite. Alpha-Wife says that she’s not asking him to NOT bring in the fourth wife, but she just wants him to understand the way she feels and cut her some slack about feeling a bit of jealousy. Bro-Dad acts like a giant douche by claiming empathy while also blaming her for being irrational about polygamy when she’s in a polygamist relationship. Bro-Dad, you should seriously shut the fuck up unless you’re going to apologize and kiss this poor woman’s feet. No one has a wife this understanding. NO ONE!!!
I’m bored. Where’s my skinny girlfriend?
Finally, the Douche-King apologizes. He still sounds like a douche, but hey, at least he said he was sorry.
On the Big Red Couch Confessional, Yf3 talks about how good it is that Bro-Dad and Alpha-Wife are going away on a vacation, because their relationship has been so strained lately due to Robyn. What’s awesome is that Robyn is sitting right next to her, looking uncomfortable the whole time. I have noticed that while on the Big Red Couch, most of these fuckers talk about other members of the family as though they’re not there, even though they’re sharing a couch cushion. It’s kinda hilarious.
You just have to say, “Earmuffs”
In Mexico, Bro-Dad proposes the idea of in-vitro fertilization, and Alpha-Wife shoots him down. She says she’d love to have another baby, but thanks to a previous miscarriage, she only wants one if it happens naturally.
Shirtless Bro-Dad. I had to see it, so you do too.
And with that, another fine week of TLC’s “Look At These Freaks On Your Television” draws to a close. Actually, they should just change the name of the network to that, because pretty much every show is just about watching people be freaks so you can judge them and feel a little less freaky about your own weirdness. Thanks, TLC. You’re even classier than Vh1.
Look at these freaks!
And these freaks!
We have tattooed freaks…
Mentally ill freaks…
Freaks getting married…
Aaaaaand… These guys
Okay Gasmii, that’s it for this week. Join me next week for more polygamy, more freaks, and more douche-baggery.

Spending your 20th anniversary shopping for a ring for your husband’s new wife? Possibly the worst anniversary ever. And the scene with the barbie mommies and only one daddy made me cringe. I thought they weren’t pushing their polygamist beliefs on the kids? Great recap!
I read the other recaps and finally decided to set my DVR to tape this mess. This show is so awkward on so many levels. I didn’t get the whole home birth thing so the hospital doesn’t call you out on having mutliple wives. In turn, would that mean you shouldn’t go on television and announce it to the world as well?
Bro-Dad seems to have more self awareness than a lot of people on reality shows. He pointed out his own hypocrisy at dinner with Alpha Wife and he commented it was probably wrong to be making out with his girlfriend while his other wife was giving birth. I cannot understand what these women see in this Douchenozzle. Ick.
Yeah, I didn’t get the whole home-birth-b/c-people-are-afraid-of-pologamy deal either. I mean you can go to the hospital and tell the people that you’re about to have your pimp’s kid while your ho sisters wait in the hall. The nurses and doctors have more than likely heard it all, and more than likely, don’t give a shit.
Oh this mess just gets worse. They are sending thier children to unaccrediated polygamist school? Yet they are not pushing their agenda?! Just what are those girls going to be qualified to do once they ‘graduate’ from school? Other then become the third, fifth or sixteenth wife not much. What assholes, the lot of them.
O.k., I have read tvgasm for a couple of years, and don’t usually comment, but I have to comment on this. I am from Utah, I am a Mormon and we do NOT believe in polygamy. I am tired of being stereotyped from a group of families that believe this is ok to do. I guess the first paragraph pissed me off, because if anyone else talks about another race, religion, sexuality, etc., they are jumped on for being un-American, stupid, racist, etc. But Mormons are fair game. I am normal person who watches trashy reality shows, who has one spouse, and who *gasps swears when the need arises. I guess I am tired of the all or nothing mentality. I think these people are as weird as you, but that doesn’t mean ALL of Utah or Mormons suck. Anyways, I love the recaps on TVGasm, but seriously..get a clue because you if I started off on another race or sexuality, you would be jumping on me like a jackrabbit. Ok, sorry..just tired of haveing to defend who I am. I’m a person..just like you.
*having
And yes, I’m PMS’ing!! We do that in Utah too!!
Settle down, Alene. You don’t have to defend yourself. I live in North Carolina. My accent is somewhere between Gomer Pyle and Dixie Carter. I hear redneck jokes everywhere I go, even here. But I don’t care. I’m a proud redneck, and anybody that doesn’t like me, my accent or my ways, well, fuck them. I enjoy my life, have lots of friends and don’t particularly care what other people think. So wear your Mormonism proudly. You don’t owe anybody an explanation. If they want to think you have 15 “sister wives” well, that’s showing their ignorance, not yours. PS Captain Morgan is the miracle cure for pms!
BTW, I can’t stand to actually watch this show, but the recaps have me howling. “HELLO hellloooo hellloooo” – still spewing Mtn. Dew!
I love the down and dirty and funny recaps of the show, but I also miss some your witty, snarky insights. I don’t want to ask for more because you are already giving us a recap, but add just a thought. I was really looking forward to reading your take on the show- just because I am fascinated with the polygamist lifestyle and shows. And the Gasgm is my place to talk about them because my friends laugh in my face when I talk about this show or suggest that we watch it together.
@Alene: Mormons are not the only group that are fair game to laugh at or actually to satirize. Satire is a great American tradition and no groups are free from it. And this site is a place for comedy, humor and satire. Also it is place for people to voice their concerns and opinions and I am glad that you did. So please do not think that this is an attack.
You wrote: “I guess the first paragraph pissed me off, because if anyone else talks about another race, religion, sexuality, etc., they are jumped on for being un-American, stupid, racist, etc. ” I am going to have to say that I don’t agree with this statement because there are tons of other groups that get made fun of, talk about in a judgmental way, etc and very rarely are the people making the remarks jumped on. Gays/Fat People/Muslims/Catholic Priests/Mexicans derogatory comments are made about these groups all the time and actually some people are called un-American for supporting them. Hate is the America way these days and no one is free from it.
That is why I like the Gasm. It offers us snark and humor and a way to laugh a labels that generally don’t mean much.
Hate is the America way these days and no one is free from it.
I’ve never read anything more riduculous-and that’s saying a lot. Hate may be the American Reality TV way but it has nothing to do with mainstream/majority American or Americans.
@Alene- You just need to realize that here at the Gasm we make fun of everyone equally. Granted, I’m doing a whole lotta making fun of Mormons and Utah, but that’s because the show I’ve been assigned to make fun of is about Mormons that live in Utah. I know most Mormons don’t practice polygamy, just like I know most fat people don’t eat babies. I’m not gonna preface every recap with a disclaimer about how I don’t hate Mormons and I have friends that are Mormon and they only have one spouse and blah blah blah. I have friends that are fat too, and I spend way more time making fat jokes than anything. You can’t get upset when one of us ‘cappers makes fun of your religion, and then sit back and laugh when we make fun of everyone else, ya know?
@Bridget–I’m not sure what you mean. If you let me know what kind of commentary you’re missing then I will try like mad to include it in next week’s recap. Are you just wanting my actual opinion on polygamy? I kinda addressed that last week, but I’ll go off for a page or two if that’s what my readers want. I aim to entertain.
@VRoxas–I think less than ‘hate’ that she meant something more like discrimination. People judge. People discriminate. It’s not just the American way, but the way of the world. Everyone has their own little prejudices, even if they try like mad to keep from listening to them. I, personally, find that making fun of everything puts us all on equal footing. I’m gay. I’ve been actually, seriously, hatefully discriminated against. I still don’t get the least bit upset when someone makes fun of the gays in a good-natured way. I think the world would be a much better place if we would all stop taking ourselves so damn seriously. There are facets of Mormonism that are hilarious, just like there are with all religions, philosophies, sexualities, and ways of life. Can’t we all just make fun of each other and have a group hug afterward?
I am sure if TheMiki wanted to Truly (hahaha) make fun of Mormanism she would hit a few subjects closer to home such as Joseph Smith having dozens upon dozens of wives and the YOUNG age he took them in, Joseph Smith translating golden tablets he dug up in the woods of New York and then misplacing them, Joseph Smith translating Egytian script he bought from a traveling mummy show and writing the book Pearl of Great Price building it into a religion, telling every one the papyrus burned in the great Chicago fire started Ms. O’Mally’s cow and later the papyrus being found in a museum in New York and translated to be directions on how to have an Egyption Funeral. As I could go on for hour and freak all Mormans out to the point of revolution I will stop and say…. attaching polygomy to the current state of Utah and the CURRENT Morman religion is like attaching the past acts of racism to the current state of racism in America.
“Dumdumdumdumdumdum…”
Sorry, I had to post it. If anyone watches South Park, you’ll know what I’m referring to.
I’ve got to start watching this show. When I saw a clip, all I could think is frat boy is tired of his wives and wants a new one. Except, instead of divorcing, he just makes the family bigger. I guess he’s multiplying the dysfunction by adding more wives and kids and probably pets. How long before Yf3 goes off her rocker and renames everyone ?
@theMiki: Yes. I did mean hate more in the way of discrimination and judgment.
@VRoxas: But to say that hate isn’t a part of the American way of life that is ridiculous. People get famous and make money off of saying hateful/mean/derogatory remarks about other things. While these people may not reflect what everyone thinks- these people are getting support from enough people to warrant the fame and/or money they are making off of spewing hate filled speech. Look at the Perez Hilton website: he is famous because he outs supposed gay people and because he draws penises and cum on celebrity pictures. Does he reflect all of America? No. But he reflects enough of the population- enough to make a sizable living on. Reality television is very popular and much of reality television focuses on humiliation and hate- hate/judge/discrimination is very much apart of our society. Our society has come to place an ever increasing value on conformity which is only going to breed an atmosphere of contempt and mistrust of anyone who appears to be separate or different. After this little rant of mine- I realize that I would have been better off if I had taken theMiki’s advice and not taken myself so seriously.
@Bridget Miller. Did you hear what Perez did last week? He went on Ellen and said he is becoming a kinder gentler Perez. He is now aiming for sassy. He felt in the wake of the suicides and such he was part of the problem and none of the healing. He recognized it was never his place to out people and doesn’t think highly of the young manhe was who drew on everyone. He has grown up and has decided to be a better person. Ellen asked, ” Even if that costs you all your money?” He brushed that off and I have been to his site. It is cleaner.
Sorry off topic I guess…… I hate multiple wifes… I don’t like people who have to many damn cats either, ‘cept Chooch… she can do anything and I will still love her.
@giff… that’s interesting… I have boycotted myself from Perez’s site for over a year because of all the negativity on it… but I miss the gossip! Maybe now that it’s cleaner I’ll give it a second chance!
@giff: oh my god. You just gave this cynic a bit of hope that the world isn’t an ignorant, hate filled place. You were able to melt my icy insides just a little. Thank You. I mean it. Part of me still says, “Well lets see how long this last and see if he can still make money.” But if someone like Perez Hilton can grow and gain some self awareness then maybe there is hope for other people. And that is a big step for him. Plus I bet he got some pressure from different groups to change his website and looked at all the bullying that was going on, and realized that he was part of the problem. That he was no better than any of those bullies.
@theMiki: when I said insight. I guess I was meaning more insights into the characters and their motivations or insights into the episodes rather than a play by play. Which you are doing, but I WANT MORE. I am not sure what I am trying to complain about- I have a demanding bitch living inside of me and she takes over all the time. I love everything that you have done so far with the show. If I see something that I can point to then I will. I am sorry to bother you with this. I need to leave the recapping, snark, and jokes to the professionals. Sorry the only skill that I seem to posses is the ability to edit other people’s writings. Well actually only good writing and just find the very few places that I think could be changed to make it even more fabulous.
But what the hell do I know? I am just a loser with a computer? And a drunk one at that. My friend decided to get married at the Renaissance Festival- who the hell does that?
Anyway- she is in a polyamory lifestyle and relationship, so she married her male and woman lover at the Renaissance Festival. I told her she could be the next TLC show. It is kind of like the arrangement that Frat Boy has on Sister Wives in my friends relationships everyone is an equal partner. And while it is highly unlikely this will happen- all of them are able to bring others into the relationship or to go out and date. (Could you image if Alpha Wife brought another penis home?) But with my friends bring home more people home probably isn’t going to happen because they are more concerned with creating a stable family unit, they want to adopt kids, and are all three very happy with each other. Just wanting to marry each other and didn’t make this arrangement, so that they could bring more people into the relationship. Unlike Frat Dad. Which makes me think he is in it for the ass and not for Jesus.
HEY @GIFF: Could you post some links about Joseph Smith and the Mormon church stuff that you were talking about. PLEASE! I have deep fascination of the Mormon Church since I came so very close to joining it and marrying into it and I would love to know more.
@hollagirl2: I also boycotted his site. (DListed is much better anyway) Perez was outing gays and now he sees gays committing suicide because they are outed. Then he goes on a show with a gay talk show host to say he’ll clean up his act. Ellen seemed a little skeptical and so do I. He is famous for his meanness and is why most of his visitors tune in. Will they stick around for a PG Perez? (also, if you miss the gossip, tmz has the same stuff with links/headlines from other sites at the bottom of the page)
@Bridget: What state was the Renaissanse festival in? I’ve always wanted to go to one but don’t think they come to NYC.
I have afunny Mormon story. When we were shooting a Tommy Hilfiger ad at the Salt Lake in Nevada (1.5 hrs from Utah), one of the male models was a former Mormon and he said the kids in his school when they were teens and in college would sneak down to Las Vegas, get married, have sex all weekend, then get it anulled. All because they were vehemently against committing the cardinal sin of pre-marital sex!
Seminary!!
I was trying to remember the name of a Mormon school. Lol, I kept thinking sanctuary, aviary- no that’s a bird school. Ha! Even Google didn’t help..when I googled ‘Mormon school’ all I got were Mormon schools. Go figure.
Sorry: just read to comments. Some how I am stuck on this page. Day drinking will do this to my poor brain. But theMiki: “Are you just wanting my actual opinion on polygamy? I kinda addressed that last week, but I’ll go off for a page or two if that’s what my readers want. I aim to entertain.” Yes. That would be funny. Go off on the show. That would be great fun! Not sure what the others think, but to hell with them:) But yeah that is what I was thinking. Or go off on the guy. I loved your discussion about Mormons and gay marriage- it was funny, insightful and informative. This is the last post that I made about this because I know that writing a recap can not be easy and it have to hear from the peanut gallery must not make it any easier. You are just fun to talk back and forth with, so I kept making comments. Seriously. I wouldn’t listen to me because you are doing great. And I am a demanding bitch. Or so I have been told.
I am going to write my own recaps of some show, so that I can get an idea of just how hard it actually is to write one of these on a weekly basis. No more from me. For right now. A drunk and alone bridget does not a good mix make.
I just watched all of the episodes. The women are miserable. How many times did wife #1 cry? Almost every show. All I can say about Kody is that 1/4 of a husband is a good label for him. That’s just about how much of a husband he is in total. Love is sharing everything. He is constantly surprised by what his wives say because he is not a good spouse. All I can say is that it’s good the women have each other for support because he is an ass.
@Bridget — Psst… Writing recaps isn’t actually very hard. Time-consuming, yes, but not hard. I’m usually a little drunk myself when I do them. It’s actually pretty fun. Having to take photos of my television because TLC won’t air full episodes for screen-caps kinda sucks though.
@Bridget.. I started here, with this authors book.

@Miki
@ Bridget
Word, here’s to taking it down a notch. My bad too.
What I mean and am 100% convinced to the core is that as Americans (frig it, as humans) we talk a LOT of smack about this one and that one and what we don’t tolerate and what we stand for…and the end game is usually that if you put us in a room with any one person we usually find some redemptive values/common ground and all our talk goes out the window.
One can opine all day long against gay marriage for example but find it impossible to explain exactly why the gay couple they just spent a day with shouldn’t marry.
Hate and snark are awesome entertainment, it’s why I’m a reality addict. But only extremists manage to live actual hate. The majority of Americans are opinionated but not hateful in practice.
Methinks.
@sarcasatire Maybe I am up my periods (lol) but they have some festival every year uptown in Inwood/Heights by the Cloisters. Wenches, jousting etc.
@sarcasatire Maybe I am *not up *on my periods (lol) but they have some festival every year uptown in Inwood/Heights by the Cloisters. Wenches, jousting etc.
OMG..that’s where I live!! (within walking distance) Why haven’t I heard about this?? I’d love to be a wench! Is it in the summer?
@sarcasatire
It’s Fort Tryon Park–I used to go when I lived in Inwood and now I’m in NJ but I’ve taken my kids a few times.
Don’t be sad but it looks like we missed it this year or I would have said “meetup.”
http://www.whidc.org/home.html
“The 2010 Festival will be held on
Sunday October 3rd, 2010 from 11:30AM to 6 PM”
Awww…too bad But now I know when to expect it so I’ll definitely be on the lookout next year. Can’t wait to dress like a wench and gnaw on a turkey leg!
“Okay, either there was some super creative editing, or that woman has pushed enough babies out her vagina that they just sorta slide out now, because there’s no sweating or screaming or sheet-clenching, or even lamaaz breathing. She seems calm as a Hindu cow, and then there’s a baby.”
And that, my friends, is why you should ALWAYS get the epidural.
