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.

"...time and money..." No kidding.

I know you would never ask for it but...
I would donate because of the daily humor and information I get from the Farm.

Any medievalist, or even fantasy reader or D&D player, knows that magic is very expensive. Worse, the cost isn't always money.

"Oh, hell. Another quart of blood?"

"Not this time. We need a quart of... something else."

"Spit? Tears? Urine?"

"No, no, and ewwww."

"Bile? Ear wax? Poop?"

"No, definitely not, and WTF, dude?"

"That leaves various other hormonal secretions... gonna be hard to get some of those."

Demon hands over stack of magazines.

"This give you a hint? Or would you rather have a tablet so you can find your own?"
