UPDATED!!!! I Scour the Internet The Pre Summer Solstice/ Father's Day Edition for June 12th, 2015

Holy Guacamole, it's only the beginning of summer with three months to go before the new season of Sister Wives.

I'll tell you one thing. I simply can't WAIT for another scandal to hit TLC. Last year it was Honey Boo Boo. Last month, the Duggars went down...really down. So who's betting on the Sister Wives being next?

We all now know that the supposed "leaking" of Meri's divorce and Kody's remarriage to that vixen 4th wife Robyn Sullivan Brown was all about the ratings. And it was successful, too. Ratings for the Sister Wives finale soared to levels unseen since the beginning seasons. Unfortunately, the struggling My Five Wives saw it's viewership sink below the one million viewers mark.  Despite various "compelling" storylines including Lonie's pregnancy and Rosemary's allegations against her father, the show was summarily canceled.

So now we're left with three more months of polygamous free TLC programming. And it's a bore, let me tell you.

Meri admiring her flowers...from a "friend"

Of course, you'd think the Kody Krew© would step up on their tweeting, or whatever social medium that would influence the most number of people to tune in next September. And for a while, Meri and her side kick and legal status beneficiary Robyn did step up to the plate.

Robyn started her strangely narcissistic I Likey fanpage on Facebook while Meri embarked on an embarrassing display of teenage angst and puppy love by barraging her followers with hundreds of motivational sayings in the attempt to remain positive about her "situation" while simultaneously  carrying on a  Twitter "friendship" with a male "friend", complete with flowers being sent to her, because...well, just because.

And throughout this mess, Kody has remained eerily silent. Almost as if he could care less what his spiritual wife was doing online, and with whom.

We can only hope he is too busy courting his fifth wife. For  the ratings, of course...




So let's get going on the social media presence of the Brown's so far this month.

We shall begin with this week's edition of....

The Tao of the Former Legal Mrs. Kody Brown







I now feel enlightened, empowered, and strangely craving peanut butter fritos with a Kool-Aid chaser. How about you?


Back to reality, Meri seems to be the only sister wife, besides Robyn of course, that tweets pictures of Robyn's mischievous little King Sol.








Whoa...is that a KNIFE on that chair? And is it me or is that carpeting looking a bit...worn? Maybe it's the gosh awful color...Anyway, who doesn't imagine if this had been another bonus child, Meri would not have been so cheerful, considering the colossal effort required to cleanup that mess.

Looks like Meri's followers aren't the only ones noticing her Twitter "friendship" with The Joker, aka George Glass. But, alas, the infatuation has faded big time. In the May 24th edition of I Scour, Mr. G was riding the high wave of unbridled friendship with Meri and a lot of hubris thrown in for good measure. But alas,  looks like Mr. G had to clean house on followers after Robyn's JYD decided to follow him on Twitter, no doubt to spy. Wow, that was  a smart move being he only had 37 followers !!

Leave it to Robyn "I'm the new family sheriff in the cul-de-sac" Brown to knock this "budding" relationship down a notch or two on her Likey fanpage.



You can almost hear her screaming to whoever is within earshot how he's got a lot of nerve, especially when he deftly cleaned out his followers (including Robyn's JYD) all within 24 hours of JYD's sudden appearance. Let's hope Robyn and her JYD aren't government spies.

Stealth and subtlety  are not their forte...And now Meri has drastically cut back on her overly gleeful twitter convos with her "friend" and he appears to have drifted on to other people, mainly his "girlfriend". But don't worry, Meri still converses with her friend, only more discreetly. The way it should have been in the beginning.


On a more cheerful note, last Friday Hunter graduated from High School! There weren't a lot of pictures, but hopefully it was filmed for the show. I want to see Hunter's graduation party in the cul-de-sac! It's a tradition of the show!!












How sad that Hunter's Daddy Dearest did NOT tweet any congratulations, choosing to retweet his wives congrats instead. But he did take time to retweet this message from Meri, which was rather ironic considering she most likely tweeted this in retaliation for all the "rumor mongering" about her Twitter friendship, even though she flaunted that friendship for almost a month and then abruptly ended her twitter chatter once Robyn and her JYD got wind of it...



Makes me wonder who the real haters, fools and idiots are. Hint: They reside in a gated cul-de-sac.

Finally, from our friend at The Principle (F-LDS), there is an excerpt of a sermon from Marvin Jessop on the future of the AUB after the allegations presented by Rosemary Williams. He is the leader of the AUB in Pinesdale MT.

That's riggggghttt!!!! Robyn is preggers, this time with Kody's second legitimate child being that he made Robyn an honest woman last December 2014. Let's just hope it's not the case of Robyn finally going through with being a surrogate to carry a fertilized egg of Meri and ex-husband Kody.

How much you want to bet the next season of Sister Wives will make no mention of the supposed legal fight between the new Mr. Robyn Brown and Robyn's ex-husband for parental rights. Yeah, that was a dumb storyline that, like a majority of Kody and Krew's actions, wasn't well thought out.

Save up your grocery money, Original Three Wives. With a pregnant Robyn and Kody at the head of the family, it is guaranteed to be an extremely bumpy ride going forward!

Poor Meri. All that hell she must be going through. No wonder she retweets with all those damn  sayings. And let's not forget while Kody was undoubtedly spending all his time with his newest Mrs (how ELSE did she get pregnant, I ask you), holding her ....um....head while she no doubt suffered morning sickness (Yeah, that's the ticket!)  poor Meri had to placate her loneliness by accepting flowers from a Twitter friend (as described by Robyn, who eagerly cleared up any misperceptions this Joker may have had of ever appearing on Sister Wives).

Actually, I think Meri's Twitter friend should be featured on an episode of Sister Wives. You heard of the Thrilla in Manila? Well it could be the Battle of the Vegans, with Kody representing Las Vegas and Meri's George Glass representing all those Vegans who still yearned for the richness of pot roast gravy in their Vegan stew, wrestling for the "love" of fair maiden Meri. Right in the cul-de-sac. Winner take all.

But just compare the picture of Meri with her flowers with this picture from People Magazine. What a difference. Poor Meri looks like she'd rather be having 5 root canals with no anesthesia. Such a sad, sad picture...

One last thing, historically Kody starts courting when a wife is pregnant, so can we hope that Kody stays true to his polygamous form and starts courting his 5th??? A Vegas showgirl who just happens to be a Vegan, too? Pretty please, TLC???? Can you just imagine the meltdown Robyn would have? Which explains that epic Twitter meltdown Robyn had a few months back.  Robyn ALWAYS has a Twitter meltdown when she's pregnant! Her baby bump is pretty evident, don't you think? I wonder if she was already pregnant when she had her last meltdown (complete with those ridiculous selfies she took).

The Browns may have saved their show with this latest pregnancy. And how convenient to announce the Friday before Father's Day Sunday!


Well, that's all for now. And remember, I Scour the Internet so YOU can spend your time reading about the Duggars!

I Scour the Internet: The Memorial Day, See Ya Later Duggars! Edition for May 24 2015



Funny story. A couple of nights ago my BFF called me, all breathless. "Is it true?" she asked. I gave her the good/bad news (depending on whether you're a hater or lover). She then said something that if I was walking I would have fallen right down on my ample posterior.

She asked me "How could something like that happen with all those wives around?"

I was shocked and puzzled. I gathered my thoughts, resisting the urge to take my telephone handset and bang it on the table while yelling "McFly! McFly!!"

Calmly I asked her,  "What do you mean?" "Well, aren't the Duggars the polygamists?" she asked.

"Ah...no, that's the DARGERS" I replied.

BFF had her first senior moment, and I was witness to it! Whoo Hoo!!!

So unless you've been spending time with Kody and his Kodettes© in their Kul-de-Sak, you've undoubtedly have heard about the latest scandal to rock the hallowed network halls of TLC.

Guess they are going to need to change the TLC group picture, AGAIN.

Here's the Official Announcement from TLC that appeared on the 19 Kids and Counting Official Facebook Fanpage (as of May 22).

Effective immediately, TLC has pulled all episodes of 19 Kids and Counting currently from the air. We are deeply...
Posted by TLC on Friday, May 22, 2015


And here's one of many online articles about Josh Duggar...

Statements from the Duggar family via People.com.
Posted by 19 Kids and Counting on Thursday, May 21, 2015

Yep, I have a feeling we can stick a fork in 19 Kids and Counting...they are DONE.

Oh, and one last thing...In case anyone was planning on going to this event sponsored by TLC, I have a sneaking suspicion the Duggars are going to be no-shows.



Alrighty then. So what's new with the Browns?


Well, besides birthdays, Meri either retweeting those inspirational tweet at an alarming rate (her followers must love her for cluttering up their timelines) or tweeting sweet, coy nothings that shouldn't ever see the light of day, nothing really. Business as usual in the old cul-de-sac.

But I have to say Meri's prolific tweeting to a male friend is getting a bit, uh... out of hand.

Far be it from me to participate in her rather immature (but somewhat entertaining) Twitter interchanges with a male "friend" who prefers to think of himself as a not ready for primetime semi-superhero aficionado of all things Meri Brown.  I think her followers are just as shocked as I am when reading them.

In my other living room, to protect the not yet a superhero FOM (friend of Meri), he's known simply as George Glass. You know, that George Glass from the Brady Bunch show. I simply call him The Joker. Like the Steve Miller Band song from years ago.



Either way, he appears to have quite the opinion about himself.

He recently warned his followers, all 37 of them:
"If you follow me because I'm friends with Meri you will be [blocked] immediately Lol"
Meri sure knows how to pick 'em, doesn't she? First Kody and now this joker. Sheesh!!

Getting back to a bonafide "reality star", Meri continues to inundate her followers with at least a hundred motivational memes a day...well it seems like hundreds.

Starting in this issue of I Scour the Internet, I've created a new outlet for Meri's motivational tweets and retweets. I'm calling it...

The Tao of the Former Legal Mrs. Kody Brown


Here's a sampling of her offerings for this weekend...













Where's Og Mandino when you need him?


Logan recently celebrated his 21st birthday.

First to tweet congrats was his bonus mom Meri:

And his biological mommy dearest, Janelle...


And of course, bonus mom Christine tweeted her congratulations, along with a cute picture when Logan was a young boy...





Robyn stopped whatever she was doing with Kody and tweeted out this congrats...Sounds like she forgave him for getting the heck out of the cul-de-sac as soon as he graduated high school...or she's sucking up to her new legal hubby...



Unfortunately, the best effort Daddy Dearest Kody could muster was to retweet his wives congrats...with the exception of...hold on to your chapeaus...the tweet of former legal wife Meri.

The next day was Kody's and his new legal Mrs's 5th spiritual wedding anniversary...

Of course, the Original Three tweeted out their sentiments:

Meri's, surprisingly enough, appeared to be civil...but is that a hint of snark I see in that second sentence?



And I do believe Robyn picked up on the umm...snark with this coy reply...



And goosestepping their way in solidarity were Janelle and Christine, who attached an oh so sweet picture of the happy couple along with her obviously restrained congratulations...





That's got to be an old picture. Kody's hair hasn't look that good in years!

I know this is a crazy thought, but ya'll don't think Kody and his new legal Mrs. will start celebrating two separate anniversaries each year? You know, one for their spiritual marriage and another for their legal marriage?

I wish I could say they are savvy enough to realize what a boneheaded idea that would be. But we ARE talking Kody Brown, so anything is possible with that King of the Boneheads.

That's all for now. And remember, I Scour the Internet so YOU can enjoy the rest of Memorial Day weekend!

Some people call me the space cowboy...yeah. Some call me the gangster of Love...

I Scour the Internet: The Almost Post Cinco de Mayo and Pre Mother's Day Edition for May 5th, 2015


Goodness gracious, have the Browns  lost their direction with this divorce and remarriage or what?

I almost wish for the old days when the family (or a parental unit) would take a quick trip down to Disneyland for some R&R. Every single month. Or when Meri and Kody would leave town for their anniversary and you could always tell when it was anniversary time because Meri would flood her twitter feed with comments talking about her "Lover" this or "Lover" that.

I miss how Kody would begrudgingly throw Christine a few crumbs of attention by taking her to a dinner and a gondola ride, if she was lucky, on her birthday or anniversary. Or taking Janelle on a "business" trip to the boonies of Arizona for their anniversary.

Those days are now gone, it appears. At least for the present.

It seems the backlash from Kody's divorce and marriage to the New Mrs. Kody Brown in order to "legally restructure" his family was a bit more than the general viewing public could bear.

And now the Browns are in overdrive trying to rehabilitate their "image" that they are still a wonderful family, like the Duggars but without all that religious stuff to keep the separate parental units together.

Damage Control is a bitch.

Yep, it seems polygamy has taken another couple of steps backward, thanks to the Browns. It makes me wonder what they will do next, besides creating the New Mrs. Kody Brown's fanpage.

We can only hope it's not a Kody Brown fanpage. Please...

So what have the Browns been doing lately? Well, Christine's birthday was on April 18th. What was unusual was the uncharacteristic cheerfulness exhibited by Kody and his new bride Robyn.


Christine, if I were you, I'd throw away any food the New Mrs. Kody Brown prepared for you, especially if it was piece of fruit, like an apple.

That tweet has Robyn's fingerprints all over it. When has Kody EVER tweeted something so sickeningly sweet to Christine?

We are talking major damage control here!

What a difference a few years and a divorce can make. No more tweets calling Kody Lover, or teasing what flavor of ice cream would best describe their marriage. Meri's twitter silence was deafening.






Not one tweet in return from Meri. Love is strange, and so is divorcing your legal husband of 25 years because HE wanted to restructure HIS family, legally.

At least Robyn doesn't appear to hold any grudges against the Original Three Sister Wives....or does she?




And talking about grudges, looks like Robyn and Kody were invited to a swanky Celebrity Auction at an Art Gallery.



How nice of Kody to invite his followers to an event being held in an art gallery at Caesar's Palace. And Kody, autocorrect is your friend!

And how nice of Robyn to retweet Kody's tweet to her followers she hasn't blocked, including the Original Three Sister Wives in the cul-de-sac. Just in case they didn't see it the first time...

It must have been a shock when Kody realized no one inside was asking to take their picture. Luckily, outside the Art Gallery, Kody was able to coerce a passerby to take a picture for posterity (and twitter to prove he actually was there)


Kody doesn't look "dressed" for the occasion. From the pictures I saw, the men who attended were dressed casually, but had the good fashion sense to wear their shirts tucked into their pants, rather than hanging out. Like Mr. Robyn Brown...


At least it appears Kody must have picked up a new "fan" as well as a painting. Let's hope Robyn refrains from going all #blockingspree on them in the future!





Back to Meri. Her tweet timeline was suspiciously missing any mention of her aniversary, so uncharacteristic from her old habit of calling Kody "Lover" over and over and over, again.

Then, out of the blue there's this tweet, made on the same day Kody tweeted what he and the new Mrs. would be doing that following Saturday at Caesar's Palace....



And she showed her followers how she is a bonafide college student, by tweeting a picture of her UNLV Student ID...



She also took time out of HER busy day to tweet about a bonus kid, in this case Mykelti, unlike a particular sister wife who shall remain nameless but is the new legal Mrs. Kody Brown...



and this interesting tweet about human behavior...


Yesterday, Meri took yet another stumble. Call me silly, but this doesn't sound normal...




Not to mention her continuing insomnia problem...





We get it Meri. You are tweeting this stuff to generate interest in your reality show. Enough already. We promise we will watch the next season, we promise!

[It's really hard typing with crossed fingers!]


Janelle had a lot to celebrate...Two of her boys went to their High School Prom....




And she painted Las Vegas Red with her booking agent the night before Kody and Robyn's Art Gallery appearance...



Just last Sunday, the family surprised her with an early Birthday Party...Hey, you don't think her party was filmed for the show do you?



And last but not least, Robyn's MSWC, expertly managed by her CEO hubby, recently notified their FB fans that an interested third party actually had the guts to review some of their "products". But I wonder why they didn't send the expensive stuff? Read all about it...


We sent products to the Dream of Jeanie Blog and this is her review! Check it out! http://www.fashionyoulife.com/2015/04/blog-post.html?zx=aec34fed31ee4454

All I got to say is, I don't need to be sent "free" product in order to voice my opinion. The t-shirt looks like a child got a hold of a Sharpie and went to town. The ring is weird looking and was on sale in the bargain basement of MSWC. And I'm not 15, so I really don't want or need a plastic pastel colored watch. I  asked a friend's daughter about a plastic MSWC watch and she doesn't want one either. She doesn't wear a watch she says. She looks at her phone for the time.

That's all for now, and remember, I Scour the Internet, so YOU don't have to...
