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.

Christmastime Saturnalia, re posted

I enjoy a nice party despite my natural shyness. The festivities began this week in my neck of the woods. I was at a fairly good one Friday night, and two last night. Some nights one has to party-hop, which I think is rude to do but also rude not to show up when invited. Not my fault that I am so popular... Yes, they had the traditional soft-boiled quail eggs on toasts with caviar on top. Dynamite.


I got this snapshot last night at a hot party before I was overwhelmed by lonely, hot, nubile females. Saturnalia, Bacchanalia, Holiday Season - whatever you call it. A good female/satyr ratio as you can see.


Christmastime is as secular or religious as one chooses. Seems quite secular to many. For me, both.

That sort of bacchanalia's fine for single folk, but we're all about family & we're Irish, so our parties look more like this:

Hard on a man to be so popular.

I like the airborne blond, upper right, firing the blunderbuss pistol at the standing blond who's going for the red-headed guy's stones.

The engineer I work with, as a designer/drafter, told me he had a party to attend on Saturday, as we discussed our plans for this weekend.

He didn't tell me it was HIS party. He didn't invite me either.

I imagine it looked like this.

Hmmm... didn't see you there, but I was busy, I guess.

And, somewhere in all of this, we're really supposed to be celebrating the birth of God's Son to the Blessed Virgin Mary, for our unwarranted, but freely offered, and sadly not always accepted, eternal salvation.

In these secular times , it's good to see that some people remember the importance of keeping Saturn in Saturnalia !
