Duggar sighting in Edinburgh!

[slickcat79]

I feel sorry for the people in Scotland, they are now getting another dose of the Duggars when they really should be contained in the USA.

I think TLC probably had to point it out and give them some cliffnotes about Scottish history just so that they wouldn't appear to bad. There homeschooling would not have prepared them this trip. Do they even own a globe or map to be able to pinpoint USA let alone any other country?

Before they went on their trip out west (featured in the "On the Road" special) JB showed the kids a map with their route detailed on it. They have seen large portions of the US, so hopefully they wouldn't be totally lost. I think about how the average secular homeschooling family (with an actual emphasis on knowledge) could make amazing use of all the trips the Duggars have been on, and it makes their seeming lack of information that much sadder. They could do SO much better than "colors and shapes" :roll:

Dear Scotland,

We're sorry for letting the Duggars escape. To be honest, we didn't even know they could find Scotland on a map, let alone get over there.

Feel free to send them home at your leisure, but if they leave any kids behind, make sure to place them with a liberal, science-believing, birth-control using couple as quickly as possible. You'll get extra props for a gay couple.

Oh, and if you can find a way to get Jim Bob a vasectomy before he leaves, that would be great. You know him and J'chelle are trying to conceive again and 19 ignored children is more than enough.

Much love,

USA

hmmmm.....could that vasectomy be done on our socialist NHS free of charge? mght as well give them something else to go with the abortion stance "evil UK cuts off fertilization for FREE"

However, the duggars did go visit the Vanderbilt manse without a clue as to who the Vanderbilts were...so I have little hope that the Duggars will know anything about Scotland.

They'll probably be shocked that Israel isn't exactly like it was in the Bible. I'm trying to find the quote from David Ben Gurion about how they would know Israel is a real country when it has problems with drugs and prostitution . . .

Jeebus, how did they get TLC to foot the bill?

"Vision Forum "Lets Rewrite History to Match Our Faith!" tour" made me laugh really hard.

[Markie]

I think TLC is paying for part of the trip, but JimBob might be chipping in some too. 26 plane tickets, plus the crew's tickets. Michael, Josie and Mac are all under 2 so may fly free, but all the others will be full price. Hotels, food, travel expenses... I guess they paid for several Little People Big World trips, Jon&Kate + 8 trips, so who knows? Would TLC comp Amy's and Grandma's tickets?

Oh this sucks! All I get round here is FLDS followers and the occasional Mennonite family variety of fundies! Stupid Canada...

Not only would the procedure be free of charge, the doctor responsible would receive an additional 10 quid as he has given contraceptive advice (a throwback to when the pill was new, and doctors were encouraged financially to give contraceptive advice, education, and prescriptions... 10 quid/woman/year...)! Get a load of that, Fox News!

Dear Scotland,

You will get no pity from us, despite your cute accents. You still owe us big time for inflicting the Gunn Brothers on us (makers of the VF-beloved films "Monstrous Regiment of Women" and "Shaky Town.")

Love,

the U.S.A.

[Deleted05]

Wouldn't that be too Catholic?

Too Catholic, and waaay too many statues of nekkid people.

I'm not sure which side to take here, given that I'm American but now live here permanently. Also, some of the accents are pretty appalling, so I can't even argue that side of it.

But I will say: MEN IN KILTS. Sexy, rugged, and wearing plaid. Mmmm. Makes up for a lot of problems, including all this rain.

(I don't follow the Duggars; any chance any of the girls are old enough to run off to Gretna Green with some hunk of a lad....?)

Duggars in Scottish highland parade.

Poor Anna.she just looks tow up.

[Prek teach]

She looks exhausted. Cousin Amy is as chipper as ever - gag.

[PBrooke]

I do wonder what smug answers they'll come up with regarding kilts. Not only are they "skirts," but they occasionally allow a flash of thigh! Nike! And are they going to make some goofy comparison like, "See, you really CAN do anything in skirts!" regarding the Highland Games? And thus are they going to see that their argument about modesty and gender is just silly?

Is Smugger sporting a beard? Anna looks exhausted, Smugger should man up and tote the kid.

Joy looks miserable toting her buddy.

Why are they marching in that parade like celebrities? Does the rest of the world actually care who the Duggars are? Wal-Mart, people who eat too much fast food, the Duggars... thanks for making the USA look like a grand place to be.

I suspect that there's a whole bunch of Scots frantically searching the Duggars' lineage for loopholes.

[Swamptribe]

TLC probably arranged it. Bet there are there for a 'family reunion' or some such thing.

[TheJewAmongUs]

According to Sean's Twitter update they're in Ireland now. I think they're on one of those "If it's Tuesday it must be Belgium" tours.

[Effie]

Lol on this:

Amy Duggar

I don't even know where we are going :)) they just told me what kind of clothes to pack. :)) I'll find out when we get there. :))

Mother of the year, my sporran! Tripping along , waving for the cameras, no baby in her arms. Ignoring the toddler whose hand she's holding. And Pimp Daddy Jay-B right alongside, per usual.

My disdain for those two runs wide and deep.

Canada......aaaahhhh..... you got Uriah & the Maxwell's a few months ago..... :lol:

As much as I hate to defend the Mullet, she was holding Jenny's hand.

Boob, OTOH, DEFINED the Ugly American in that parade. Next time, save the Razorback gear for sightseeing, not a parade honoring long-held traditions of a foreign country.

Smuggar's chinstrap beard is...interesting. Hopefully it will help contour the roundness of his bloated face a little bit. He should have been carrying Michael, if only for the exercise.

And what's with the flip-flops in a parade (especially on Anna with all the extra weight she's carrying)? At least Jinger (I think) appeared to be wearing ballet flats.

Finally, NIKE! to the Scottish hunk in the V-neck shirt. Pity the hugely pregnant woman to his left is probably his wife. I wonder if that group WAS the family reunion of Duggars (or whatever their original Scottish lineage name was). At the end, they called out for other clans, so I have a feeling that's what we saw.

[slickcat79]

LOL at that video :lol: Random thoughts:

-They managed to find some plaid for Hannie, but they still stand out like sore thumbs among the traditional Scottish dress.

-Joseph has a particular WTF expression re: the random sword he has to carry. I'd be confused too.

-Joy looks less than thrilled to be there. Probably not too happy about having to pack Jordyn around. Welcome to the wonderful world of buddyhood, Joy!

-Josh, WTF. Carry your own child. There's no reason your 14-year-old brother should have to carry her for you.

My god, they make me *sick*
