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...

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

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:
Well, it's finally happened. He's officially an adult! Happy 21st birthday to the amazing & fabulous @FroginBrown !
— Meri Brown (@MeriBrown1) May 21, 2015
And his biological mommy dearest, Janelle...
This amazing boy of mine is 21 today! I am so proud of the man you have become. Happy Birthday @FroginBrown pic.twitter.com/qvdpPkIhTh
— Janelle Brown (@JanelleBrown117) May 21, 2015
And of course, bonus mom Christine tweeted her congratulations, along with a cute picture when Logan was a young boy...
Happy Birthday @FroginBrown pic.twitter.com/TavHuh70rC

I know this is late but I just found it on my desk. @FroginBrown Such a sweet kid! pic.twitter.com/eUMXhdyJPp

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...
Better late than never! Happy 21st Birthday @FroginBrown! You are an amazing person and a wonderful son! Cute pic! pic.twitter.com/EqkcEH9QIv

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?
Happy anniversary @LuvgvsUwngs & @realkodybrown . Happy for you that you are celebrating 5 years of what you've always been looking for.
— Meri Brown (@MeriBrown1) May 22, 2015
And I do believe Robyn picked up on the umm...snark with this coy reply...
@MeriBrown1 @realkodybrown Thanks! It HAS been 5 wonderful years but I know Kody already had a pretty wonderful life before I came along.
— Robyn Brown (@LuvgvsUwngs) May 22, 2015
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...
Happy Anniversary @realkodybrown and @LuvgvsUwngs. A crazy 5 years for sure !Congrats! Our family wasn't complete w/o you @LuvgvsUwngs! 🎉
— Janelle Brown (@JanelleBrown117) May 22, 2015
Happy Anniversary @realkodybrown and @LuvgvsUwngs. God Bless your next five years, and more... pic.twitter.com/P7HcRTN6TQ

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...
