Maggie's FarmWe are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for. |

I am really sick and tired of the photos that you like to share. I was in a public library a few days ago and wanted to go to Maggie's Farm, but alas, I signed a waiver that I wouldn't go to sites like this!!
You signed a waiver that you wouldn't go to sites like what? Why'd you sign?.... because the library made you or your conscience made you? Maybe this lovely Santa elf will bring you a home computer of your very own. Cool. Be sure to spank her.
` Is this an example of the cheap, kinky underwear you buy at Wal Mart? How do you hide it under the Miracle Grow? You big Muffin bella. : )
ha ha. I don't buy the whole babe, Muffin... Just the outfit. Then I put it on and watch MY muffin's miracle grow.
haw haw... Why'd you make me say that, you bad boy. :} `

Hey TNJ, I know I can hardly ever sight-see on business trips, but if you can, go take a side trip to the Texas Hill Country sometime. Don't know what the weather is like right now, but it is worth the trip.
So let's see... 'd dvorak' and 'Betsy' can't be bothered to comment on this blog - ever. But today they feel they must speak their vacuous minds? Why don't you girls quit clicking on Maggie's Farm? You know there is a 'babe' at least once a week, so go find another place to play where you won't be intimidated by a beautiful woman. You know that's what it's all about. Your mirrors tell you so.
` thanks Meta for your wise input ....
now let's await senior contributor MM's opinion & that should settle it. The thing that gets me is that picture/gift is one that every man would think the best gift he might ever receive. A gift that has hundreds of thousands of years of history as being most welcome and also essential to the survival of our species. Yet, somehow, to actually see it in its reality is somehow too much for certain minds to bear. Men have been depicting the yoni for almost as long as they could wield some sort of drawing utensil. In this case it isn't even visible, leaving the imagination room to roam. Why is that so offensive to some? Sorry, but the female form is a beautiful thing, as close to life as life itself. Its depiction does not automatically turn one into a degenerate.
Luther,
What if FedEx brought that beauty to your door - all wrapped up like that. Would you go all degenerate on us? :) ` Haha... well, I might. But only if I had some nice delicious chocolate to go along with her. I can understand how the Aztecs (?) went all crazy in their chocoholic fix.
But funny, I just happen to be prepared for that. Can you put yourself in a FedEx box, Meta? You have chocolates? Bon bons? oooh. I'm there. Will you plop them into my mouth one by one?
I think the FedEx man will let me ride up front. He won't mind my Wal-Mart Christmas outfit. Do you think? ` No... not one by one... but molecule by molecule. I like rising tension.
I don't think the FedEx guy would have any problems at all with your Wal-Mart outfit. After all, he delivers America.

Senior contributor MM likes the pretty girls just fine, and she wants you sweet boys to have something pretty to look at. If 'd dvorak ' and 'betsy' feel threatened by such lovely folk as theo finds and shows us, they should perhaps find another venue in which to vent their disappointment with the world and its men. Personally, I love men and think they should have their little pleasures. As long as they bring home the bacon to me.
Marianne P.S. And I think men have beautiful forms too. If I recall correctly. I'm going back to watch my spandex-clad football guys now. MM, the only thing you're senior in is wisdom and knowledge. You ogle that spandex all you like.
MM and Meta
#1. Actually, I have commented before.... #2. I don't feel threatened by the pictures. I am gifted with a pretty nice physique myself. One can be annoyed for other reasons. #3. I do avail myself of many other sites, many of which are listed on the sidebar. #4. The girlie pictures lately have gone over a line, from harmless to soft porn. #5. Why are we talking about me and not news? Proof of my point. The pictures are a (stupid) distraction. The best thing about eating at a buffet is, there's something available for everyone, I like turnips & banana pudding,you might enjoy crab cakes & Sushi, not me.. Call it one stop shopping... what are you in the mood for today? you want fresh flowers on the table ? how about wine ? then desert? ...It's a buffet already,every man or woman for their self.
#4. The girlie pictures lately have gone over a line, from harmless to soft porn. Soft porn? that would be magazine covers in the check out line. There's a wide variety of information here, enough to please any pallet.. pick and choose, when the interest is gone, click to another source... #5. Why are we talking about me and not news? Proof of my point. Actually Maggie's Farm is multi-layered..it IS about the news and current events, but it's also about people.. people that in some small way interact,comment and share their views. In the meantime please chill about my turnip greens & desert. Thx Betsy Turnips and banana pudding... excellent choices. My granny did both very well.
Thank you, Betsy, for numbering. It helps me stay focused. I’m out of Adderall at the moment.
#1. Actually, I have commented before.... $ 1. Good for you. Try using ‘Betsy’ next time. #2. I don't feel threatened by the pictures. I am gifted with a pretty nice physique myself. One can be annoyed for other reasons. $ 2. Hey, good on ya. Why don’t you send a photo of you in a bow and we can all admire you and make your day. #3. I do avail myself of many other sites, many of which are listed on the sidebar. $ 3. That’s nice. You know the escape route for next time. #4. The girlie pictures lately have gone over a line, from harmless to soft porn. $ 4. Ever read comments? There is more soft porn in comments than in all of the pictures of women combined. Many are my very own comments, too. I should get a spanking. #5. Why are we talking about me and not news? Proof of my point. The pictures are a (stupid) distraction. $5. The few comments you received are because you are a sanctimonious do-gooder.- Anathema to this blog’s principles as stated in the headlines. You created the distraction, my dear. ` re: Google
The Register piece makes a far less bold claim than the headline. They say google might use the up/down vote of users in search rankings in the future (you can see the vote arrows if you have a google login). I know lots of google people and they wouldn't stand for the kind of rigging the article suggests. Common sense dictates Google wouldn't give out such information. No one would stand for it - staff, readers, anyone.
Maybe Microsoft or Yahoo have a hand in the dissemination of this hyperbole. ` re: your 'Patent' on Sheesh...
First recorded instance of Sheesh used at Synthstuff: November 14, 2003 - Babys being named after Corporate Brand Names First recorded instance of Sheesh used at Maggie's Farm: Monday, April 10. 2006 - A big grab bag of fun morning links You may have your Patent, Sir, but I claim Prior Art... Dear Barrister:
Would you please post a short piece on "TORT". What is the difference between filing for a "Breach of Contract", "Negligence", or a "Tort"? would you please be so kind as to explain exactly what a "Tort" is?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJp8cRLmqb0 I think my power came back on too late to see the photo that generated the critical complaints from d and betsy. I will only quote from the stated "Mission Statement", such as it, atop this page:
"Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for." haha. Brilliant response. I second that emotion.
Lawwsy, nothing more revolting than a nag and a do-gooder. ` Coffee pron! You've sold your soul to Juan Valdez. I came here for culture and a grumpy New England perspective and I get reminded of my caffiene addiction. Just thinking about this is giving me a withdrawal headache.
Oh, by the way, Theo has some hot tractor pron on this AM. Perhaps we would have been talking about the news if someone hadn't brought up the distraction of moral prudery. But then, it obviously had its desired effect.
Someone say something about tractors...? So you caved?
That and the DD ad are the real shame. (You want to be really grossed out? Ask me about driving OTR and eating a bag of DD's one day. I dunno if the "oasis" on the WV turnpike has recovered or not. |
