Maggie's Farm

We 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.

Getting along with women

Getting Along with Women 101. Villainous. One quote:

Many women will argue, understandably, “My husband knows I love him. He doesn't need me to have sex with him to know that. And this is especially so when I'm too tired or just don't want sex. Anyway, my man only enjoys sex with me when I'm into it, too.”

Not a bad argument so far as it goes. Realizing that many men would rather stick their heads into a gas oven than talk about their feelings, ask a woman how she would react to this statement from a man:

“My wife knows I love her. She doesn't need me to listen to her or tell her I love her to know that. And this is especially so when I'm too tired or just don't feel like making nicey-nicey. Anyway, it wouldn't mean anything to my wife if I acted affectionate just to please her.”

Do you mind! I'm in the library and I signed a waiver!

What did the waiver say, honey?

I agree! Enough of this trash.

BD needs to go to church with sinners and be redeemed.

Why any woman scorns 'acting' affectionate who on earth wants a man who acts the part without true affection guiding him like most true gentlemen of the world that have blonde trophy wives and what was on that waiver anyway. Get this filth off it is unbecoming to women who slave and work and cook while their husbands skulk about the basement reading Aeschylus in order to avoid foreplay. I never.

The profligate nudity on this blog is tiresome and hostile to women and no one wants to see it.

You need to reign in your imagination there.
You can't see any of the really interesting parts!

If lovely females=filth, I quit.

That nasty picture made me trip and fall down and almost break my Blackberry.

Although I think the gun featured in the photo is a CO2 toy pistola I find this image funny. I handed an old girlfriend a S&W 686 .375 magnum--a big revolver with a six inch barrel, vented rib and a barrel lug--and she couldn't get the barrel to point anywhere but the floor. (Ahhh, but she was a fiery Irish lass with more fight than a pissed-off wolverine).

As far as people getting their panties in a knot over the photo, well, fiddle with your rosaries and pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our deaths. Thanks so much.

It's a miracle!

I'm young again!!!! :)

(you can blame Tigerhawk for that one :p)

photo is a cute one! also wondered how in the world that chick got the pistol leveled....I can barely level a 9mm. Must have tied it to the ceiling with fishing line...?
Anyway, folks: get a life! It's a joke! Contrasting images, etc. and like most of Theo's gals, done in fairly good taste.
I wish I looked that good holding my weapons! Think I will send it to my friends and tell them this was me at my latest shooting class.

It's a BB gun! It just has a fearsome aspect. :)
#10.1 Jephnol (Link) on 2008-12-31 11:28 (Reply)
okay...got it. Admit I was impressed. :)

Theo had a much better photo a few days back featuring a lovely lass in military garb--she was mostly dressed in camo and she had a custom AR-15 with all the tactical bells and whistles hanging from her neck on a two-point sling. That was hot... (I mean respectful).

From another joke email, a cut and paste from AARP. Just some light humor.

Q: Where can 60 year old men find younger, sexy women who are interested in them?
A: Try the bookstore under "Fiction".

Q: What should a man do while his wife is going through menopause?
A: Keep busy. If he is handy with tools, he can finish the basement. When he is done he will have a place to live.

jephnol and milabro ... I'm sure that sweet pretty young thing had no trouble leveling and aiming that pistol. I have a Taurus revolver with a 6 1/2" barrel and even my tiny, arthritic hands can level and shoot it perfectly well -- when the motivation is there. My husband says there's an old saying in Texas that most wives can't hit the side of a barn door with a gun, unless their husband is in their sights. That is, always supposing the husband has been a naughty fellow.

Everybody seems very frisky today. I guess it's New Year's Eve. Have a Happy!

Marianne,

You've got The Judge? I'm impressed. I've got its big brother and don't care much about aiming except in the general direction of my target. Good on you, girl. I might have to get one of those.

Happy New Year to you and everyone else! :)

MM,

I maintain that my girlfriend could not raise the barrel to hit said barn, but I bet if she got a wild hair across her ass I'll bet you're right--she'd turn into Annie Oakley!
