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.

A happy, prosperous, and free 2009 to our readers

It's not too soon to begin thinking about the opening of fishing season in April. If markets don't improve, we'll be fishing out of necessity instead of for sport.

Purely as a public service I note Colberg's highly moral and decent expose of A portable toilet company's disgusting 2009 calendar. Here in Western Massachusetts, it's only thirteen and a half hours into 2009, and there already is a strong...

Recreational fishing looks awesome.

(I was going to make a joke about beautiful fishing holes but I'm learning to be sensitive).

I do not believe mine eyes! There I was in church praying for a sin-free new year when I noticed on my Blackberry that you perverts are bringing down civilization once again! Why, I gasped aloud and the preacher thought I wanted hand laid on me!

That would be 'hands', Abbie. I know all the perverts are thinking about their hands don't you know girl.

Gwynnie ... My husband thanks you for these lovely pictures, hastening to say that they remind him of me in better days. Whatever works -- and cheers him up is fine with me.

Like any good article on fishing, you need to include information on the bait used to catch those two beauties.

Where? Where is the outrage?
#8 vanderleun (Link) on 2009-01-01 18:28 (Reply)
Outrage? I'll tell you where the outrage is its in the poetry in lotion for you perverts who come to this blog to see naked women and guns that is all you men think about and on a day when we should be in contemplation of the good things to come in the new year you are here looking at fleshly delights and ignoring your slave-driven women at home who work tirelessly on your behalf to make you a home where you can be secure warm and well fed and coddled I am disturbed.

Lotion? What do you think this is Silence of the Lambs? "It puts the lotion in the basket..."

Honestly, I think many who speak negatively on these matters here at Maggie's are into a little projection. I see you through the intertubes. I see into your heart of hearts and I have to tell you, I think you're a little pervy. It's kind of hot.

I'll have what that keyboard guy is having.

We're all just fishers of men and women... I agree with Marianne. Thank you for a glimpse of our past... I'm happy in the New Year. No perv about it!

As Taj Mahal once sang:

bet ya goin fishin all a' de time
baby goin fishin too
bet your life, your sweet wife catch more fish than you

Many fish bites if ya got good bait

Many fish bite if you got good bait

I'm a goin fishin, yes I'm goin fishin
and my baby goin fishin too


Didn't think he was talking about fishing, though.
