Is Ric Olie 2's family bigger than yours? Hint: Probably not.

 STOP IT! ;)

I had twelve hundred and seventy four brothers and sisters.

 Yep, I knew it.  Government moochers...that has "Food Stamp Family" written all over it.

Are you making fun of me? Just because I made a dumb thread...

Anyway, my family is bigger than yours.

 There is nothing wrong with the original title of your thread, and I honestly suggest you change it back.  If you are embarrassed, let it sink to the depths of pages 15-99 as many of my threads have.  As I enjoy archiving stuff, I'd rather see this preserved as originally intended than handed over to others.  They can start their own threads if they want to.

Well...I tried to let it disappear onto other pages, but Frink brought it back. ;)

However, if you don't think there was anything wrong with it, I'll keep it up. Most people decided to be silly and not actually say anything about their families, so I took that to mean people weren't willing to volunteer that information and therefore felt awkward about asking the question...however, maybe I should just be humble about it and not expect people to be serious. I think it's just the mood I'm in today... :P

Honestly, in Off Topic, and with folks like Frink and Bingo and a number of other lighter weight goofs around (myself included), it's amazing how many topics actually stay on topic.  Yeah, I suggest keeping it up.  Mormons have big families too (I am one of eight children), so I think it's cool you have a big family.  But I suspect you are right, most people won't volunteer that info much.

I've made up my mind to check my continuous revisions to my posts regardless of whether or not I say something embarrassing here. I have the bad habit of trying to erase awkward moments or phrasing from my posts, but I should really be more humble about it. :P

Yes, something I've had to try to learn to do.  I've had some embarrassing moments on this site, some nasty fights where I said mean things, some really stupid and unpopular threads (I think I might have tried to play a couple of those moments off), but I just feel it's best to keep the original spirit of the thread intact.  And I also don't want you to feel ashamed of your large family, as I think it's pretty dang cool. :)

Just to be clear, I'm not ashamed of my large family at all, as I quite enjoy it. I think my life would be far more boring if I didn't have so many siblings. I was more embarrassed about implying that I had a "look over here, I bet your family isn't this big!" attitude in a couple posts I made.
