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 to get up, Soup Hound

It begins like this:

The alarm rudely drags me back to wakefulness. 4:00 am comes all too quickly, even when you're looking forward to getting up. Quietly, I slip out of bed and pad across the room to turn it off. A lump stirs under the covers, and the comforter slips back to reveal a black head, one eye opened balefully. She doesn't lift her head from the pillow.

"Time to get up, Soup Hound," I yawn. "It's a new day."

A blogger's duck hunt, here.

" But Sprite loves her Uncle Paul, doesn’t she? Yes her does, and her Uncle Paul loves her.”

:) Wonderful! If you have a dog, this is to talk to them. I love it!

Ha Buddy mine too, except he's obsessed with a dead Yankee baseball player who hit a lot of HRs.

dog barks "Dimaggio"? COOL!

I saw film director Peter Bogdanovitch on the Johnny Carson show years ago. The two of 'em were chatting the small talk about life and all, and Bogdanovitch happened to mention that as a young man he'd once given thought to Americanizing his name to "Bogdan".

Carson asked "Peter Bogdan?"

Bogdanovitch answered, deadpan, "No, Bogdan Bogdanovitch."

Well I really hope yall aint sending me a conformation email. I actually stole this internet-identity from some cunt I met on the airplane last week, Bethany Berger. See following adress: http://www.law.uconn.edu/people/90. Anyways I was searching for some transgender/shemale softcore porn and I stumbled onto your website! Oh boy was I glad to find a face to the tranny-world more beautiful than the last spokesperson, Jill, http://cdn.buzznet.com/assets/users16/bryyplasstikk/default/hi-im-tranny--large-msg-120416082356.jpg. Thank you Maggie! We salute your multi-gendered body and all it has to offer.
Sincerely,
Jeff Woodward
