Nice pic of some of the man-boys with a bride and groom.  One was shirtless.  NIKE!

OK, I'm clueless here.  Urban Dictionary wasn't helpful.  Does NIKE! refer to a totally buffed out guy, like the shirtless Arndt, who, let's be frank, is a buffed out specimen of manhood. Gym rats would be jealous.

Nike is the code word the Duggars use when they see a sexy human being and have to look down.

[JenniferJuniper]

I'm sure Josh Duggar "Nike!"ed his way through all his extramarital affairs.  Well done, Duggars, you sure know how NOT to keep the boys chaste!  Take lessons from the Arndts - Rick and Cathy will show you how it's done. Manboys look and look, but then come straight home to Mama, pure as newly fallen snow in upstate NY.

I read one of the books Michelle wrote. She said Nike is a shoe brand and they want to boys to look down at their shoes instead of looking at the nasty, evil, defrauding women.  Well, she didn't call them that but she sure meant it!  But Nike is also a Greeek goddess and I'm pretty sure Michelle has no clue about that!

The Tulsa Zoo has a new penguin chick that hatched.  They announced today that it's a female.  If they have a naming contest, I'm seriously considering submitting Arndt!

For birthday cake in Mommy and Daddy's room.

OK, seriously, are they just toying with us now?  A silent movie?!

From FB:  "A villainous character, played by Peter, guards prisoner, Mary-Elizabeth, in the climactic scene from the Arndt silent movie "Dock 17"!"

..... do they know what climactic means....?

No, they're tucked safe into their beds with penguin sheets every single night. I would imagine they have no idea.

well, er, um, sometimes those sheets... I mean, you know, involuntary stuff can nocturnally happen...such as it does.

I remember when Seth talked about watching and disliking Napoleon  dynamite and I thought... where would you get an opportunity to see it and if you did, did you get to watch the whole thing?

One of the things I like about this thread is that it makes me think about penguins Nothing changes, no penguins are harmed. Everything stays fairly innocent...usually

I'd like Jana and her friend Laura to meet the Arndts and get together with two of the brothers. Then Jana would have someone she knew in the family. She also has been around filming all her life and could be of service to their Vine Valley thing. A double wedding might start things moving for the Arndts. Esther Staddon might be a good match, too. 

No way! Jana deserves better. She would think they’re incredibly weird, as would her parents and siblings. And Rick would plotz if some new young woman turned up and started offering constructive criticism on his precious Vine Valley.

[MarblesMom]

Do penguins eat Venus fly traps, or is it the other way around?!

[MarblesMom]

I didn't know where to put this.... obs fake, but still funny.

At first glance on my phone I thought, Jello Shots!

 

[JermajestyDuggar]

So I’ve noticed a trend on the FamTeam FB page. Their personal pictures don’t get a lot of likes. Even pictures that are cute from when the kids were babies don’t ever seem to break 100 likes. It’s usually 25 or less when it comes to personal family pictures. 

Then they post a meme and they get a SHIT LOAD of likes. I’m talking in the hundreds. They only have 1600 followers! 

So i’ve decided you FJers are liking all their memes. I wonder if they realize this. I think it must be encouraging them to share more. 

[JenniferJuniper]

I could be wrong because I don't understand how Facebook works, but don't the meme likes come with the meme?  Not necessary just liked by Famteam followers?

I don't get the sudden interest in mainstream, non-abortion related shared memes though.  Is it possible that Dad isn't solely controlling the page now and one of the manboys (Luke?) is instead?  A lot of them are cute if not funny.

I thought something much more sinister... partial appendages of aliens in uncircumcised format.

Am I allowed wine and a charcuterie board in the prayer closet?  Joiners?

Duh. What do you think the rest of us do in the prayer closet all day. Pray?

That must be it. I’m just used to seeing it shared from the source as well as the page of the person sharing. It doesn’t have the original page posted.

That's beyond delightful.  I have to say that I'd recommend the movie Orgasmo (1997), where Mormon Missionary Elder Joe Young accidentally becomes a porn actor in LA. 

Spoiler

WIKI: Everyman Mormon missionary Joseph Young, assigned with his mission partner to Los Angeles, finds the city to be a hostile and unenthusiastic place for their work. The problems worsen when they knock on the door of sleazy porn director Maxxx Orbison and several security guards are sent to dispose of them. Joe defeats all of them singlehandedly with a variety of martial arts skills. Impressed by his performance and bored of his current project's lead actor, Orbison attempts to hire Joe to be the title character and lead of his pornographic superhero film, Orgazmo. Joe is conflicted because of his beliefs, but the salary offered would pay for a wedding in the temple in Utah where his fiancée Lisa has expressed a strong desire to wed. Joe reluctantly accepts despite being given a sign from God.

OK, so I just watched this SNL sketch and immediately thought of the Arndts. Especially the question about mother's biggest fear:

[JermajestyDuggar]

John Christopher and Ebisaleth?! Hahahaha! That’s so fundie.

There has to be a fundie named John -Christopher. There’s John-Clay Burnett and John-David Duggar. There must be a John-Christopher!
