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.

The archeology of wine and beer

Fascinating. Without beer, we'd have no pretty pyramids to look at. 


Hey, honey, don't forget the limes.

I just went and checked the hard drive. I stole that image off your website back in February of '07.

I'll be having beer a little later. I'll be serving myself.

See, that's why I never touch Corona. Any beer you have to add stuff to, to make it drinkable, is no beer at all.

Give me a good Bavarian pilsener any day. Today, in fact.

That's a little tart!

The beer and lime combo, I mean... not the girl. ;-)

Hmmm, how do I order a home delivery by the lass?

Your post may be headed "the archaeology of wine and beer," but it seems to me that most of your avid readers are moe interested in the topography of the young woman carrying said beer.

Not that there's anything wrong with that ....

Mighty perceptive of you, Marianne!

The problem is, all of us have access to the beer, so no biggie. Few or none of us have access to the--wonderfully put--"topography" of the young lass, thus the drooling.

Guys. Sheesh.

The pic would have been more interesting without the thong.

Another tradition gone horribly wrong, The lime is not for the beer, it just sits on top to keep the flies out. Remember where this tradition came from!
