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 original version

Ye olde urge to merge, from the 1949 movie Neptune's Daughter. It is cold outside, and almost St. Valentine's Day. So.

Wonderful! I was only 2 when the movie came out, but my aunt had the record - a 78 rpm! - and played it regularly. Quite by coincidence, I have my first date with a new lady on Monday. Thanks for making an old widower smile on Valentine's Day!

TRIGGER WARNING TRIGGER WARNING

This would be a sexual assault on 4 of 5 American kollege kampuses. Where is my Safe Space to challenge your White Privilege?

Yes, it would be consider a sexual assault by BOTH men.

The first (Ricardo Montalban, I believe) for insisting that she stay; and the second (Red Skelton?) for not insisting strongly enough that he needs to leave.

I'd heard the song before, but I had no idea that was Ricardo Montalban. Thanks for the clip.

Hearing them playing this on the radio last Christmas season, I frankly was surprised it had not yet been banned.
