The Duggars, Grilled Cheese, and Cannibalism

Welcome Captain Dumbass from Us and Them as guest blogger. I have been a fan of the Captain since my first days blogging. He writes great stories, does hilarious stuff with his boys holding signs, and is amazing with toys and grilled cheese as props posts. He's been nice enough to donate a grilled cheese post while I'm away. Thanks Captain. And look, not red circled items...

Writing a guest post for someone is always a bit daunting for me, especially if it's for someone like Pseudo who can not only write properly, but is a teacher as well. I think I can pen a funny story every once in awhile, but things like spelling, grammar, punctuation, and basic sentence structure aren't exactly my strong suits. Plus, I didn't want to get my post sent back to me with a bunch of red circles on it and homework.

With that in mind, I decided to fall back on something I am good at. Making pictures with grilled cheese. Once I'd decided on grilled cheese, I needed a subject. I've done movie scenes and crime scenes (ketchup and tomato soup) and gourmet food blog pics like when I added mac and cheese to a sandwich, but I wanted something different. Maybe something related to current events. And then I heard that Michelle Duggar of 18 Kids and Counting is expecting baby number 19 and knew I had my focus. Congratulations Jim Bob and Michelle! Oh ya, cannibals.

Sure he's cute, but I have to sleep with one eye open. Ignore the girlish scream at the end, I'm not sure who that is. Mmm, tasty tasty Duggar's.

    After this post, I think I should rethink that rule in the lunchroom about not playing with food.

    Genius! Nothing beats a grilled cheese sandwich!

    When you show 19 kids in grilled cheese form it seems like way too man. Oh wait.....it is way too many. Kid or grilled cheese.

    Can we circle back on the mac and cheese post?

    'Cause Captain, I would have 19 of your children if you made me some sort of grilled mac & cheese everyday. . .

    OMG - love the cut outs of grilled cheese and it did make me think, if the Duggars were stranded, would they eat one another?

    So I think if we ate the Duggars for lunch, we'd get fat.

    I think someone has eaten Michelle Duggars brain for her to let Jim Bob near her with his penis. Not that she can even feel it any more.

    Funny post.

    And I'll bet it took you a week to make them. Ugh, dry and crusty.

  28. Captain DumbassSeptember 7, 2009 at 1:22 PM

    It was only five sandwiches, and it didn't take all that long, though they needed to cool down a little. Makes them easier to cut and stand up.

    @Mo - once you drown them in tomato soup they soften up quite nicely.

    i secretly knew, feeding you all
    those soggy grilled cheese sandwiches when you were young,
    would pay off big time.
    ...as for the Duggers, bet they
    don't get many babysitting offers
    from the Grandparent!!!

    ps see, you never thought grammar
    and spelling were important.
    hats off the the "Teacher."

    That's brillant! I'm totally making these but telling my kids they are little voodoo dolls.

    Then they can decide who they hate and eat them.

    that looks like SO many kids when they are modeled through grilled cheese sandwiches.
    well ...
    it is SO many kids.
    i'm guessing the g.c. ones are easier to take care of ...

    Nice demonstration, Captain!

    Now if only that family were cannibals and tasted like grilled cheese, there would be way less of them and their grocery bill wouldn't be so high.
