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.

Fox hunting is an extreme sport


Tried it a few times with my Mom as a lad. Scary and exhilarating. We had a local hunt club. We had a member die on a hunt (overhead branch). Broken bones galore, of course. It sucks to fall off a galloping horse.

    "Proof that cold weather causes murder"

    Oh, sure, I thought as I clicked on the link. Let's see you prove it!

    And he did -- and had the numbers to back it up!

    This does, however, run counter to the "Global Warming Causes Murder" article that was running around a few weeks ago.

    So I guess the jury's still out on that one.

    This guy's actually pretty funny. Check this one out.

      Poley Bears! Stop this! Haven't the Poles been sufficiently dissed already? Poles are good people!

      OSC: It is InTolerable(!) that someone should say that judges should NOT decide for the people what the people should decide for themselves. And to say it again! Burn him at the stake!

      Cola: Killer in a bottle. Or a glass/cup/tumbler. Just like...water.

      Lizzie Warren took an axe, and gave the truth 40 whacks. Lizzie Warren, tomahawk, killed the truth, and took a walk. (Doesn't quite work; sorry.)

      Tennessee: Do we need experts to tell us how to tie up lesbians? I say no. I'll bring 50-100 feet of cordage and manage tying them up (one at a time, or maybe two) all by myself. I'm Boy Scout trained! Still, I'll bet most anybody could do it. Though I will admit, I have no idea why I'd want to tie up lesbians.

      Maybe they should skip "??? week" and have useful skills week. College students who can't figure out ??? with a little group study really have no hope. But colleges have long been short on the useful skills, especially if they involve the manual arts. Or I guess they could just keep calling the man
