The Osmonds are single handedly keeping the church afloat

Post by _Sanctorian »

Unlike Pat which can be used both for a male or female name, when I hear the name Osmond, I exclusively think Mormon.

But I didn't realize just how Mormon the Osmonds are. From their wiki:

Olive Osmond, mother of the Osmond siblings, died on May 9, 2004 at age 79. Their father, George Osmond, died on November 6, 2007 at age 90. The couple was survived by their nine children and 55 grandchildren as well as a number of great-grandchildren, Olive by 22, George by 48. Before George Osmond's death, plans were being made for him and the 120+ members of the Osmond family to appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show to celebrate the family's 50th anniversary in show business.


Forgive me as the Osmonds are a little before my time, but 9 kids and 120+ grandkids, I had no idea! I bet if you pulled all the Osmonds together they could easily make up 1 million members. Hell, there might be more Osmonds than Youngs in the church.

The Osmonds truly are the Colonel's of Rock n' Roll.

For the record, I love Donny Osmond in this video and his more current concerts.

This is the Donny Osmond that I like. Of course I have trashy taste.

Donny truly is a soldier (or Lieutenant Colonel) of love:

Here's one for Jersey Girl. On second thought, I'm not sure this pic is even of Donny, but it sure looks like him:

I agree. Pat or Patrick is not a good name for your child, regardless of whether a boy or girl. Parents that name their children Pat or Patrick have pretty much sealed their child's doom to either work in the fast food or legal industry.

I think this is a pic of Donny just after getting his hysterectomy. I'm just glad everything worked out.
