Apparently you can't just have one! We talkin Lays potato chips or Bigamy?

big·a·my
Law. the crime of marrying while one has a wife or husband still living, from whom no valid divorce has been effected. (a crime in some countries)

OK, now this is something I’ve never really understood. Is it just me, or does anyone else think it’s hard enough to be married to one person, let alone more than one?....

Honestly, do some people find it a ‘benefit’ to have more than one person in their bed? Some days it’s hard to keep things lively and interesting in the bedroom with one person, let alone having 3 or 4 husbands! What if I say something to husband #1 that is supposed to be said to husband #2?

Here’s another thing, What if husband #3 is allergic to shellfish and I feed him the Seafood Newberg that was meant for husband #4? That kind of situation could get pretty dicey real quick! And not just because of the trip to the ER for a shot in the leg with an Epi-pen!

Here are a few examples of perpetrators…



Here we have Wayne Yee Chinn, who by the way, is a convicted arsonist. Niiiice... He has also been convicted of theft, forgery, bail jumping and of course, the apparently ever popular bigamy.

This 50 year old cassanova has been married at least seven times over the last three decades. According to some of those wives, a former fiancée and girlfriends, Chinn has left a trail of heartache across five states. (Trail of heartache? Are you kidding? That's just heartburn...)

Women, like Chinn’s fifth wife, Cynthia Castile of Eagle Creek, Ore., say he has left them in financial ruin. "It makes me sick to my stomach," she said.

Yeah, like I said, it's indigestion, get a tums Cynthia...

Next up, we've got the lovely Anthony G. Owens...this idiot presented himself as a minister, a man of God. The wives of Anthony Owens kept telling the same story: He swept into their lives, married them, then took their money.

Gwendolyn Robinson married Owens in 2002. Shirley Rhodes of Tennessee married Owens in November, 2001. Paulette Miller of Tennessee married Owens in January, 2001.

Mattie Noland of Alabama married Owens in 1999. "He's a smooth talker, when I married him I had five cars and a house. When he got through with me, I was dead broke." Six months after Noland married Owens, sheriffs from Tuscaloosa, Alabama had a warrant for her arrest. She was accused of passing $50,000 in bad checks. It turned out that Owens had taken Noland's checkbook, and had another woman writing the bad checks!

Oh, that's not all...

Meet Timothy Lee Rankin...

A convicted bigamist already serving a 25 year prison sentence for burning his ex-wife’s mobile home while she was asleep inside will be arraigned this morning on charges he tried to arrange another attempt on her life from behind bars.

Shortly after his incarceration, Timothy Lee allegedly offered his 1991 Ford Explorer to the first inmate to kill his ex-wife, and circulated a flier containing details about her hobbies, the location of her home and a list of her daily routines.

Obsess much? At least his ex-wife can be thankful that she is an EX!

Now, far be it from me to judge. But, one would think that in order for a woman to pull off a stunt like this, she’d need to be really attractive.

No?

Ok, average. What? Oh, alright, how about mildly attractive? Still no? What about butt ugly? Will that work? Well, it sure does work in the case of Barbara Ann Moore. Oh hell yeah.
OK, you've been warned, next up for your visual enjoyment, is Barbara Ann Moore.

Now Barbara Ann is the first female ever to be charged with bigamy in Kentucky…in fact, she’s still on the run and facing charges!

Robert Parchman (one of Barbara Ann's victims) has been engaged to another woman for almost eight years and he said it’s not cold feet that’s holding him back from tying the knot again…His fiancé won’t wear his ring until his 'wife' (Barbara Ann) stops wearing his name. The third time Barbara Ann got married, she got caught and thrown in jail,” Parchman said.

The not-so-happy husband said that his wife has been marrying other men for the past decade. Moore married Parchman first, then Raymond Moore Jr. and then David Denney. After saying "I do,” in 1999, she spend part of her honeymoon in the Covington jail. Parch said that she’s been in jail several times since but, she gets free again before he can get the divorce papers to her cell…

Here's what I think...

You get what you deserve.

Rock on with your bad self...
