With two gay dads ([=PapaDum=] and [=PopCorn=]), two gay moms ([=CardaMum=] and [=MaxiMum=]), and [[MassiveNumberedSiblings seven children]] (biological and [[HappilyAdopted adopted]]) (Sic, Catalpa, Wood, Aspen, Sumac, Brian (real name Briar), and Oak), they are not the kind of people you would casually run into... unless you live in UsefulNotes/{{Toronto}}, Ontario, UsefulNotes/{{Canada}}. After the family one the lottery one day, they decided to change their names accordingly, and bought a big old house in which to live, which they have dubbed the "Camelottery".
