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.

Photo of Editor Bird Dog

How the heck did the New York Times get this handsome photo of me on�the front porch of my�comfortable�Maggie's Farm sharecropper�home? Moonbattery. And no, obviously Maggie's Farm�does not offer dental insurance. Worse yet,�Maggie makes us mow our own lawns with push mowers: all of the illegals are too busy working at jobs Americans won't do.�

buddy larsen:

It's amazing you have that photo. I forgot that I was there with you way back when. That was me to the left with the long beard.

You boys are so cute! Maybe ya'all can come visit me in my trailer house in the swamp.

They are draining part of the swamp (for real) and trying to move big snapping turtles over the NY State Thruway. Here is the story and some pics.

yep, Wolf, your meth habit was showing on ya a tad there. Glad you finally went back to corn likker.

Patina, growing up in the Baton Rouge & Lafayette, snappin' turtles were the terror of a kid's mud swimming. They can bite a finger off, and they used to say they wouldn't turn loose until they heard thunder!

As a little'un I had neighbors who used a 'snapper' as a guard dog. They ran a thick wire across the yard with the turtle on a leash runnin off it. It kept the kids (me) out.

...hear about the turtle that got mugged by the gang of snails? Cops asked for a report, turtle says "Well, it all happened so fast...."

Hahaha. Buddy, mud swimming? In NY that is an expensive treatment or else you are lost. /s

Lolol Luther. I can not get that picture of a snapping turtle/ guard dog out of my head.

Thanks alot. After reading this site, I bust out laughing for no apparent reason and people are looking at me funny.
