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.

"What a good thing Adam had. When he said a good thing he knew nobody had said it before."

But who did he steal material from?

Well, since Buddy broached (breached?) the subject, Adam was the first guy to say, "Honey, this is ten inches" thereby assuring that women would forever make bad engineers.

Har... a stretch too far... perhaps.

Ejaculations without any context, like Twain' s, do only keep plenty frumious the bandersnatch.

You guys are way over my head. Does all this mean Adam was client #1, and if so how the hell does Spitzer get to be client #9. I am sooooo confused as usual.

don't worry jappy -- nobody else isn't confused, too.
