WhatWouldJohnCrichtonDo?

I had this song stuck in my head a lot while I was reading all 8 parts of the Joshgate thread. Especially the line in the chorus about being weaned on a pickle :pickle: ! :my_biggrin: :my_biggrin:

Smug
by Steve Taylor

Strike this little pose
Chin up in the air
Lips together tightly
Nostrils in a flare
Now look like you care
Very nice!

Practice in the mirror
Brushing back a tear
Very sincere
A promising career could begin right here at home
If you've got that smug...
That smug...

Chorus:
Hey mama hey mama lookee what your little babies all have become
Hey mama hey mama don't it ever make you wish you'd been a nun?
Vain and fickle, were we weaned on a pickle?
Is it in our blood?
Rome is burning
We're here turning smug

Strike another pose
Power politics
Swallow their conventions
Get your power fix
We love to mud wrestle
We love being politically Koreshed

Practice that smug
Pose it like a man
One part Master Limbaugh
Two parts Madame Streisand
Now pretend you're in a band
My, my, we're looking smug
Very, very, very

Repeat chorus

All you smug-starved millions in the thick of the search
Welcome to our church
Whatcha wanna solve?
We can help you evolve from merely self-righteous
To perfectly smug

Strike the proud pose of our country club brethren
Friendly as a tomb
Fragrant as the bottom of a locker-room broom
Now what's the matter?
Hey...get off your knees...that part don't come 'til later...God will not be pleased...

Repeat chorus

 

Not perfectly Duggar, but close enough! I love that Steve Taylor. I don't always agree with every word in his songs, but he makes me laugh and think at the same time.

Haha - I missed this blog post when you first put it up.  That is a great song for Joshley.  :super special:

You do realize, of course, that it's all because of you that I am now a bit of a You Tube junkie?  :my_biggrin: Here's a more recent Steve Taylor video (no particular tie in to any fundies I can think of):

I'm a youtube junkie.  But that started before I found this place.  The Rodriquii have only made it worse.

Heh - not sure if it was FJ as a whole that drove you to the youtube.  If it was specifically me - your welcome :D

Thanks for posting Moonshot.  That is a really cool song.  That would be a great theme song for a presidential candidate if we ever had one worthy.  

It is probably just where my head is, but the meaning reminds me of another REM song about Andy Kaufman.  Fine line between utterly batty and saving humanity.  HA

      Per story on Kress's IG, Rachel Morton had her baby. Born the same day as Issa.

      I think Joy is one of the siblings that was critical of Jill when she pulled away from the family the way she did, and they may not have much of a relationship right now. Don’t see any interaction on social media, though I know we don’t see everything. That would be a shame if that was the case, especially since Jill was there for Joy when Joy lost Annabelle. 

      Jill was parentified and forced to provide parental like care for Joy. That adds a level of complexity to everything.

      I feel so bad for her kids. She shouldn’t be putting this on her children’s shoulders. What if she had miscarried? Would he then blame himself? We know she blames the kids every time they get sick. She tells them it’s due to sinning. So if she had miscarried, would he blame himself? Those poor kids.

      Ugh, she is constantly reminding everyone that they built the house themselves. 🙄

      Yep. And it’s not actually true either. We know they hired out plenty of stuff. If she actually made a list of the stuff they hired out, it would be long.

      She could have actually had the kitchen designed so it would be easier to prep for meals and clean up afterwards.  I see nothing like that

      I don't think her mind goes to functionality because she's not using that space for much. She's all pretty! Shiny!! NEW!!

      She mentioned in a story yesterday that she had to clean some poopy diapers so the boys are nearly four and she still isn't toilet training them.  They will stay babies for a couple more years

      I would be getting that looked into (ie seeing a continence nurse), that's unusually late to be still in diapers, particularly with older siblings. If she can't see that that is a problem it's a bit of a worry.
