That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for June 04, 2019

Backstage at the Maury Show.

Alabama rape victim.

“Lady Madonna, baby at your breast

Wonder how you manage to feed the rest” and why only one has any semblance of clothing.

The hard part was getting each one of the kids to their respective dad for Father’s Day.

Amazon had said the Huggies would arrive yesterday. Amazon was about to lose a Prime member.

Lady Madonna, children at your feet…and knees…and thighs…and shoulders…

Claire did have regrets about the fertility treatment that left her with 9 babies…

Especially when she only wanted to do a breast self-exam…

Shouldn’t that be Anaprophylactica?

Get a HOBBY !

“What did I do to deserve this?”

There once was a girl named Kat./Who had three boys named Nat, Pat, and Tat./’Twas fun in the breeding but hell in the feeding./When she found there was no Tit for Tat.

What happens when the dog fertility drugs end up in the wrong clinic.

Just before the sudden urge to make herself look like Angelina Jolie.

The Au Naturale Day Care

She discovered that copulation/ is a preface to procreation/ at first she was tired/ but now she’s admired /as the “Mother of the Nation”.

Those kids are all naked, groping the poor woman as they look for a teat.They’re all going to grow up to be politicians.

She is about to be arrested for “littering”.

Wet Nurse wishing for 7 superfluous nipples.

That’d look just right on a box of cigars.

Apparently she’s also the patron saint of public breastfeeding … and breastfeeding until puberty.

“Why in the world would she have that thousand yard stare?”

The title given in English-language sources is “Motherland.” Bouguereau called it “Alma Parens”, “Soul of Motherhood”. Either way, it’s about as obnoxious a male fantasy as one might expect. Here’s the skinny on the Latin word “parens”:

It seems that this painting is now in a private collection. According to an article at http://www.artnet.com/magazine_pre2000/news/jeromack/jeromack11-18-98.asp, Sly Stallone owned it and sold it in 1998 at a Sotheby’s auction for a $2.6 million. Not bad for a painting described by the journalist as “an unfortunately jumbled composition showing a succession of plump toddler bottoms”.

There’s an essay on the artist and his times that goes into unusual depth at http://www.nccsc.net/essays/william-bouguereau-last-history-painter. Well worth reading.

“The girl with far away eyes”

Abundancia was crowned “Baby Sitter of the Year” ( and now you know why!)

Nine?!?!?!? Who does she think she is Queen Victoria?

“See? They’ve held up pretty well given the number of kids that have been at them. Don’t you agree?”

“Mommy, can I please have a cheeseburger?”

Pesky little things, aren’t they?

What are those two in the lower right getting up to?

Yet another woman who thinks her vagina is a clown car!

One of the Duggars?

They’re coming to take me away, ha ha. They’re coming to take me away, hee hee.

The Greeks had a solution for that: Artemis of Ephesus.

after writing a letter to editor re defective condoms, Sally Ann hopes no other woman goes though what she did.and her teats are in pain.

“God help me Sherman, if you come at me with anything pointy I’ll cut it off!!”
