Prolific progeniture

There is an interesting discrepancy in today's DomPost. The front page story tells of a 35 year-old Levin man who dies after, it is suspected, taking horse sedative at the pub.

I just happened across his death notice on the back page.

I also noticed the high number of children (8!) fathered by the deceased. Today's DomPost mentions he was a "former Nomad".

How many widows did he leave behind?

How many partners: I’ll try to count. “Father of Anita and Koro to Phoenix.” “Husband of Joanne”, He is father of “Manukura and Koro to Corey and Jahleel”. Very poor English there but I think that means father to these two with these two women and “Partner of Amy”. So that is five that I count but with the atrocious grammar it is hard to tell. And apparently two were at the same time. He is listed as a husband to one and as the partner to another . Maybe he’s a fundamentalist Mormon. And I get twelve kids not eight.

So we get multiple relationships, some simultaneous and a dozen kids to feed along with the multiple mothers. The paper says eight but I count 12 there. Who paid for that? Somehow I expect you did! Aunty Helen sent them nice cheques to cover the costs. But there was money for boozing and drugs as the story on his death indicates. Once again there is no dysfuctionality that Nanny won’t fund.

This is almost as hard a counting the corks in DPF's wine bottle contest.

"Koro" is granddad.

I make it eleven children and three grandchildren (that we know of). Not bad for 35.

He was no doubt on a benefit of some sort as well.

Joanne and Amy are obviously very lucky women (not).

This is the sort of guy stupid enough to take horse tranquilizer entirely on purpose.

I counted 13, but may have double counted one. This notice almost makes a case for giving horse tranqs out with the benefit.

and given their rolemodels, odds are where there was once 3 (or so) now there will 11... and what are the oods they'll all be peaceful citizens who get jobs, become doctors or teachers or business people or whatever productive... rather than bullying, stealing and beating up others...

if they are reading maybe we can hope that "Mr Pimp" dying might encourage them to get the hell out of it all.
