UPDATE! Off Topic Tuesday: From the Sister Wives' Kitchens September 2, 2014


I don't know why, but for some reason I was compelled to visit the TLC Sister Wives Facebook fanpage yesterday.

Besides the usual group of freaks, geeks and trolls, I noticed a couple of pleas for the Brown Krew© to publish a Kook Book©. (place eyeroll here)

Anyway, last night I had the most horrendous dream that TLC forced Kody and Krew© to come up with recipes for a cookbook. In my dream I was a secret agent, who broke into the TLC offices in the Watergate Building. After taping the door to the "secret file room" I found the secret file cabinets used to store those recipes, along with Brady Williams' bankruptcy papers, and  a couple of contracts that appeared to have been signed in blood!

I was able to hide a few of those recipes in my ample bosom before a rather handsome security guard escorted me out of the building. I had my escapade all on tape, but alas, all 20 minutes were missing!

Here are some of the tasty recipes I found...

 
 
 
 














I didn't find any recipes from Robyn. I guess Kody was right - she's too pretty to cook...in the kitchen that is.

YUM, YUM, YUMMY!!! Those Sister Wives sure can cook, can't they?

Well, maybe only in my nightmares they can...


Back to reality, so what happened over the long weekend in polygamy reality land?

Well, it looks like Robyn DID make an appearance (kind of) in a selfie taken by Meri.

Of course I had to google this "City Creek" place. It's in Salt Lake City. So it looks like Meri was able to go to the Keith Urban concert and took some family friends with her. Too bad she didn't take a full body picture of Robyn, but that's all right. TLC needs to build up the "Is she or Isn't she" angle for the next season.



Now this is telling. Didn't Mariah say almost the exact same words when Robyn was pregnant?
#feedingtheflames  #whocares?


And Mariah tells a joke!!!




Maddie, I think you should thank your lucky stars. At least you don't look like Kody Brown in drag!
JUST KIDDING! Aspyn is very pretty!





You know, these people are all over the map. It's impossible to keep up who's where and when! But it sounds like Janelle didn't make the trip back to Utah for the concerts! Must have been her weekend with Kody or something...



Good for you Janelle! Oh, by the way, I'm sure those 6 eggs in her recipe are for the delicious omelet she makes for herself as a side dish for those Peanut Butter Fritos!



I wish I could translate what the heck Christine is talking about in her twitter tweets sometimes.


UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE


This just in from Utah...

J. Lamoine Jenson, Utah polygamist leader, dies at 79



And sadly, comedy lost another icon...

Joan Rivers dead in New York at 81, says daughter



Hmmmm....file this one under Are You Kidding Me?

I just don't believe this. Who is running that online store? Here's the Facebook announcement of  new bracelets now being sold on MSWC for Autism Awareness.

My first thoughts  -  Are any of the proceeds being donated to Autism Awareness? Or, are they being donated directly to the Brown Family Disneyland fund?




I have looked and looked and can't find anywhere on MSWC that says proceeds being donated to Autism Awareness. What is WRONG with those people? Sheesh, put it in print so people won't  automatically say NO if they know part of their purchase is going towards a good cause!

(Now, isn't this interesting, as of 6:20pm PDT, the posting has been "hidden" on the MSWC facebook page. I wonder if it is in the process of being rewritten? No doubt the MSWC admin is checking right this minute with Kody to confirm - Are any of the proceeds being donated for the cause of Autism Awareness. And as of 6:28pm the posting has been completely removed from the MSWC fb page.)

This just in...

As I suspected, the posting was pulled. Here's the official response. By the way, I am now positive a 3rd party is now handling the admin/Customer Care duties on the MSWC Facebook page.



9/5/14

Here's the final word on this fiasco...

"Autism Awareness Rope Bracelet has been removed from your cart because it can no longer be purchased. Please contact us if you need assistance."


Interesting turn of events...

So now my questions are:

1. Does this mean MSWC never intended to donate proceeds to a group supporting Autism Awareness?

Answer: Apparently so. Otherwise they would have simply said "Oops, our bad. We forgot to say that proceeds go to Autism Awareness." Or, "Oops, your bad. The bracelets are to make people aware of Autism, we never said we were donating proceeds." Instead, they pretend this online shopping faux pas never happened by deleting all evidence. Feeble.

2. What happens to all the bracelets?

Answer: If they are working true to form, they will either try to return the bracelets or just pack them away somewhere in Meri's garage. And if they keep the bracelets, I wonder if they will take a tax writeoff for the loss. Let's hope they don't wait a couple of years and put them back on sale on MSWC if they do.

3. Could this fiasco have been avoided?

Answer: Yes it could have definitely been avoided. A high school DECA student would have known better. Whoever is at the helm of MSWC is truly CLUELESS!!!


(edited 9/5/14)

UPDATE 9/6/14


Not so fast with that final word.

Oh what a difference a day makes....

Yes, the awareness bracelets are back, along with a long explanation of the faux pas that was committed on Thursday, 9/4/14.

You know, if MSWC was being run by people who actually had intelligence and a head for business, it would be a booming success story.

Thanks but no thanks. I'll donate directly to the organization after I've checked them out. And I'll stick with online stores that actually use SSL technology to encrypt sensitive information, thank you very much.

Oh, and this "apology" FB post was definitely written by a Kodette©. Notice the rambling speech. My money is on Christine as the author.

I Scour the Internet: The Pre Labor Day Edition for August 27, 2014

It's still slim pickings on the polygamy reality show beat. Robyn Brown has been keeping such a low profile - still no verifiable sightings. I'm beginning to think maybe she developed a giant horn growing out of her forehead. At least that would explain her sudden non presence in the world.

Oh well, I KNOW TLC is happy with all the buzz her absence is causing...maybe...

Anyway, by popular demand, the TWEET OF THE WEEK  belongs  to MARIAH BROWN for this totally immature piece of advice she tweeted to sister Maddie...









Yes, Mariah. You know you deserve this recognition so please accept this Anderson head palm with the dignity and class I know you possess...somewhere. Well, maybe at least give it the old Westminster College try...


You go girl!!!  Please...just...go...





Time to check out Meri's twitter. What's this? Meri Meri Meri, where's your loyalty to your sister wife Robyn and her...oops...Kody's dream of a money making online shopping experience known as MSWC?

How about helping out MSWC's twitter that barely has 900 followers? Don't they deserve followers too? Well, maybe not since the last tweet was August 11th...talk about lost opportunities. Sheesh!!

And then there's this tweet. Tell us Meri. Is this emotion from attending your first class at UNLV?



Back to Mariah. When she isn't telling strangers she's on TV and they aren't, she tries to give back to the community. Frankly, I'm surprised we haven't seen her Daddy Dearest take the challenge.

Oh dear. Seems Mariah has her own You Tube channel, which apparently is open to the public (at this writing). She's got a winner of a video she made for her speech class. Yes, she is definitely showing off HER stardom now! Poor, deluded child...

Do you mean to tell me Mariah works? Who woulda thunk it? And always bringing a little bit of sunshine into a grumpy person's life. Yes it is the little things...and if you believe this bunch of crapola, I've got some land I want to sell you, cheap.




Now on to Maddie, who looks like she's having some college fun. Word of advice: Don't tell your prof that you're on TV and he isn't. Not if you want an A, OK?


Anyway, good looking professors always gives a person a reason to go to class, know what I mean?

Now to Aspyn. Has it really been a year already?



And here's a sign of true sisterly love...




Alrighty, then...

Onwards to Janelle...

Hmmm...You don't think she might be visiting CJ's living room do ya?



But true to form, she tweets about a non-LIV diet supplement once again...too bad she doesn't show this twitter enthusiasm for MSWC...



Here's Janelle's tweets in honor of Truely's one year milestone...For future reference Janelle, pictures Janelle, PICTURES!!





You mean she hasn't been doing this all along? No wonder she's only lost 25 pounds in 3 years!



Let's travel on over to Facebook to see what the other polygamists were up to this week.

Here's a no brainer Facebook posting from the Dargers...


Post by The Darger Family.


Actually, I think it would be hilarious if DNA testing showed a positive match with the mailman, and  those homeless guys on the corner...



Meanwhile on the Brady and Wives family Facebook page, it looks like Brady has made a permanent photo record of the men who have been in close proximity to his wives ...just in case...

Post by Brady and Wives.


And on the official TLC My Five Wives Facebook fanpage, TLC is still trying to drum up interest in the Brady Bunch by inviting readers to learn about Brady's various family units...


Post by My Five Wives.



UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE


This just in regarding the Browns' lawsuit....

And here's an article from Jim Dalrymple II at Buzzfeed News. It's written in a Q&A format, and is very interesting and informative reading!


Polygamy Is Legal In Utah, For Now




That's all for now. And remember,  I Scour the Internet So YOU Don't Have To!!!

UPDATED!!! I Scour the Internet: The National Senior Citizens Day Edition for August 21, 2014

I know. I know.

Things have been going kinda slow in plygville lately, being in between seasons and all.

In order to spice up some otherwise dull commentary, I think it's time to start recognizing the


Tweet Of The Week


This week's winner is none other than MERI BROWN!!


Meri must think she is the Forrest Gump of the Brown Klan©. Ridiculous if you ask me, because Forrest Gump was much more likeable and credible. But, ha ha ha on Meri!  She thought she could show her erudition by quoting none other than Albert Einstein (Meri's a college student at UNLV now don't ya know) but  leave it to a "fan" to called her out on the pretentiousness of her tweet!





Too late Meri. @Grumperini got the point. The question is, did you?


So in recognition of a tweet job "well done" I hereby declare this tweet the Tweet of the Week.

Of course, there has to be a prize, right?

Meri, here's an Anderson headpalm in recognition of your fine achievement!



No doubt this saying will be made into a sign to be sold exclusively by MSWC!!



On the subject of MSWC, Robyn took time this week to tweet out this observation. I would have chosen it for Tweet of the Week, but I didn't have a clue what she was trying to say...



And then there's Meri. When she isn't quoting Einstein, she's either tweeting about having an empty nest, her obsession with Keith Urban or mentioning Westminster University.

Something tells me if Mariah did move into her own apartment, she had plates, silverware and furniture unlike her sisters from a different mother at UNLV.

Wait a minute! Does VanLadyLove know about this? Oh, I get it now. Meri's going to go backstage, and talk Keith into hiring VLL as his opening band at his concerts! What a sly fox she is!

How weird Meri calls Mariah's friends "the rest of the gang". Does she even know the names of her daughter's college friends?

From Meri, we venture unto Mykelti's twitter. Oh dear. Is that a FOUR LETTER CURSE WORD I see? I'm shocked, I tell you, SHOCKED!

Mykelti honey, I know you're excited about living on your own, but just remember what your Daddy Dearest said about kissing and hormones, Okay???

Of course Janelle's mind apparently is always on food, so it isn't surprising to see this tweet, is it?



I suppose this retweet was to support her sister wife Christine's theory that more people are killed by toasters than by sharks.

And thank you Janelle, for this look into your busy day. Let's hope you are giving some tips to your sister wife Robyn about your online shopping experiences.
You know, this was a typical Janelle tweet. When they had that MLM business, Janelle was busy tweeting about a different company's dietary supplements. Now she's doing the same thing with MSWC. Tweeting about online shopping obviously with other companies instead of getting her followers over to MSWC to buy some overpriced trinkets.

And Janelle's supposed to be the smart wife?

And who does Maddie go to for help with an essay?????

Guess Janelle's just glad her sleep wasn't interrupted. No wonder she loves her sister wives!


Last, we have Christine with an update on Truely and her health scare last year.


And perhaps in response to many fans questions why she waited so long to get proper medical care for Truely last year, she made sure to tweet this so fans know Gwennie got a checkup this year.



And even though Christine helped Maddie with her essay, she still had time to take another sweet pic of Truely...



Kody spent most of his time retweeting tweets, but here's a retweet that will have people talking...

I bet they worked out a deal for every person who comes into this doctor's office for Lasik surgery and mentions they saw Kody's retweet, the good doctor will knock $10.00 off the Brown's surgery bill. Yes, I am being sarcastic.


Somehow this tweet from Papa Joe Darger got lost. Is it me or does Papa Joe sound a bit testy that a tweeter may have confused him with Brady Williams' show My Five Wives? And why the "We Love The Browns" but no "We Love My Five Wives"?

I think there is a backstory just waiting to be uncovered, don't you agree?


That's all right. Brady and his Five Wives apparently aren't losing any sleep wondering what Papa Joe thinks about their reality show!

And it obvious TLC is busy promoting their newest plural family by getting those people who may have missed My Five Wives first season to check TLCs official website for more information.

Clever folks at TLC. You would think some of that marketing savvy would rub off on Kody and Robyn with MSWC. They desperately need some marketing help.

Oh well. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Right?

And on the subject of making horses drink, I simply give up on Mariah. That Poor child is going to go down in history as the most clueless offspring of clueless parents ever to walk on this earth.

Here's the latest Twitter update...

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE 8/23/14





and if this wasn't bad enough, look what her clueless mother had to say about it...




For once, I am speechless. I'm thinking a whole bunch of people are just waiting for this bunch of kokonuts© to fall off their precarious perch on top of the reality show gravy train.

And for the record Mariah. YOU are only on TV because of your parents participation on a reality show. Once that show is cancelled, you will remain the vapid and unremarkable person you've always been. And Maddie, it would behoove you NOT to follow in the rude footsteps of your sister by another mother. It's not becoming...



That's it for now. And remember, I Scour the Internet so YOU don't have to!!
