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.

We promised Maro a free ad

Not that he needs one. There's a line waiting down the sidewalk for supper at Maro's, for his simple menu of grilled shrimp and lobster. And for his Bulldog cocktails. It's like a rustic Cape Cod seafood joint.


It's not our Yankee lobster - it's the lobster that grows down there. Yes, you order by the kilo.

Dear Blogger,

We're writing to you from the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University to ask you to help us by joining a panel of bloggers. As an active blogger, your involvement in this panel will help us answer important questions about the practices and opinions of bloggers around the world.

It takes ten minutes to answer our first set of questions. With your permission, we periodically will send you new short surveys on different topics. We promise not to share your personal information with anyone, and we'll do our best to make this as fun and interesting as possible. We'll also give you early access to our results. To complete the survey, please visit the following link:

Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have. You can reach us at info@bloggingcommon.org or view our FAQ at http://bloggingcommon.org/research.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Sincerely,
The Blogging Common Team

If I may - I have a thing about anthropomorphic food animals happily doing what ever on the menu cover. It just seems weird that they would happily go to their fate as food.

Is that weird?

Having said that, I had the mostest awesome real Gulf shrimp cocktail today - jumbo shrimp, fresh that where flown in special by our hosts and a cocktail sauce made from Zatarans Crab Boil and other spices.

I think it speaks to our ancestral inner cannibal...

Maro's has taken an option on a nearby run-down property --spokesperson says they will serve beef, adding that with the venture "Maro's will have an awful lot at steak."
