Seriously.
Anyone ever read the book, The First Four Years? Jeezus. Poor little Rose is nearly Darwinized several times, and let's not forget the unnamed baby boy that just sort of died one day. WTF! |

I like how she talks about how evil Indians are all the time, and how they'll scalp you if you give them the chance. And it's freakin awesome when she
bitchslaps Mary after the blonde talks shit one too many times.

Rose was a militant lesbian who almost murdered her mother in jealous rage.
She spent the last years of her life hinting around that she ghost wrote all of her mom's books. |

Avis I've always wanted...
1. Heather Thomas from the Fall Guy 2. Batman doing the Batusi 3. That little Ingalls girl taking a head dive down the hill in the opening credits. I watched a lot of tv, growing up. |

I rubbed one out... many a time to the Ingells girls. The blind one looks like she would take it to the hilt.
NELLIE likes anal...or was that NANCY? |

Are any of those things actually worth reading? Or am I exempt from having to expose myself to that bit of cultural literacy being male and now well over 30?

I'm in my 30s and I had never read the "little house" series at all. Then a couple weeks ago I just decided I would read them to see what the big
deal was. Most of them are kind of like some old relative telling stories about their youth, but the First Four Years one was different.
*shudder* Actually it wasn't so horrible, except that it really showed Laura's lack of parenting skills. Plus, didn't she burn the house down toward the end? |

Nelly was the best part of that show, although I had the hugest crush on Albert.
Quick threadjack because the Nelly thing just reminded me: On Nancy Grace last night they were doing the story about the 12 year old that was killed by her uncle or stepfather (can't remember). In the background they kept flipping through pictures of the little girl and then all of a sudden they put a black and white picture of Nelly Olsen up and then started flipping through the murdered girl's pics. Hubby and I looked at each other like "Did you just see that? wtf?" Somebody at the Grace show has a sick sense of humor. |

and let's not forget the unnamed baby boy that just sort of died one day. Apparently, I already had. But infant mortality was kinda high back then. That Manly husband of hers? Obviously he wasn't. If he lived up to his name, they would have had a passle of sons to help with the farmin' and whatnot. By today's 'standards', June Cleaver was a negligent mom. |

they put a black and white picture of Nelly Olsen up I think they have that picture on hand because the actress that played her is a child advocate or something like that now, and whenever Nancy Grace has her on the show they show that picture so people won't go nuts trying to figure out why she's so familiar. |

I grew up less than 20 minutes away from the Laura Ingells Wilder house in Manfield Mo, and my mom dragged me out there every summer. Most boring place ever.
Whoopti fucking do, the only thing I learned from this museum is that it's possible for white trash to be pretentious about their situation. Old pliers and
pin cushions behind glass. And look its Pa's fiddle! I used to fantasize about smashing it. To this day, if I even see a gingham dress, I fall asleep like
a narcoleptic.

Apparently, I already had. But infant mortality was kinda high back then. I think the baby died from diptheria and it made Almanzo sterile.

The second four years were the orgy/drug years.

Wildboy should have just killed them all in their sleep.
