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.

Comments - now fixed

We did a little upgrade of our comments editor yesterday, but something went wrong with it. It is rejecting all comments.

Sorry for any annoyance.

Fixed now.

i wrote a long, thoughtful, interesting comment this morning -- in fact, it was a sort of manifesto, answering (for the first time in history) some of humankind's most perplexing questions. but then the MF spam-preventer ate the whole thing, and now i can't remember it.

That's a shame Buddy... your sage of West Texas moment lost... ah, you probably wouldn't have liked the crowds anyway.

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Boy, you are my burnin' squire.

I do love luv to saing when I've been techt.

Let me stick a quarter in the juke box...

#11 Luther McLeod (Link) on 2008-04-18 21:35 (Reply)
You got any wood?
#12 Meta on 2008-04-18 21:46 (Reply)
A little 'fatlighter' wood... it burns hot and fast... but it so give off some heat.
#12.1 Luther McLeod (Link) on 2008-04-18 21:51 (Reply)

#13 Meta on 2008-04-18 21:56 (Reply)
Yesum... once that 'fatwood' fire shrinks up a bit... we'll throw the oak to 'er... be long lastin then.
#13.1 Luther McLeod (Link) on 2008-04-18 22:01 (Reply)
The angle of the dangle is inverse to the heat of the meat -- i lernt that in high school fisiks
#14 buddy larsen on 2008-04-18 22:03 (Reply)

I like a hard wood. You must be a fine man in the wood.
#15 Meta on 2008-04-18 22:05 (Reply)
Yeah... me and Johnson do pretty well in the wood... long as they ain't too much underbrush, that stuff just gets me all tangled up sometimes...
#15.1 Luther McLeod (Link) on 2008-04-18 22:11 (Reply)
Is Johnson your weiner dog? Don't give him any fruit of the vine.
#16 Meta on 2008-04-18 22:13 (Reply)
Yeah... he is... follows me around pretty much everywhere I go... and no... no fruit o the vine for him... not since that last time... he lit out in to that wood and I didn't think I'd ever git him back... he looked bedraggled for days.
#16.1 Luther McLeod (Link) on 2008-04-18 22:20 (Reply)
Was it a tangled wood? Weiners don't do well in them.

What's a big, tough former Marine doing with a weiner anyway?
#16.1.1 Meta on 2008-04-18 22:23 (Reply)
Oh this weiner does fine in the brambles... he gets in there and sniffs out the holes where all those wood animals live... has a fine old time.

Well I shouldn't give away the secret but the Marines say you have to have one to join up...
#16.1.1.1 Luther McLeod (Link) on 2008-04-18 22:29 (Reply)
What? Why? So you can send them out on patrol?
#16.1.1.1.1 Meta on 2008-04-18 22:32 (Reply)
Well not really patrol so much... as looking for all the warm places we can set up when the day is done... all that slogging you want a nice spot to snuggle into.
#16.1.1.1.1.1 Luther McLeod (Link) on 2008-04-18 22:39 (Reply)
As squad leader, did your weiner get the pick of the warm snuggly place?
#16.1.1.1.1.1.1 Meta on 2008-04-18 22:43 (Reply)
Nah... I didn't pull rank too much... and besides, usually when I pulled the weiner away from the snuggly place everyone else had their own... and didn't care about mine.
#16.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 Luther McLeod (Link) on 2008-04-18 22:51 (Reply)
Did female Marines have to have kitties?
#16.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 Meta on 2008-04-18 22:53 (Reply)
I think they thought about requiring that... but figured the wieners would do nothing but chase them around so gave up on the idea.

I wrote possibly the greatest comment of all time. The Gettysburg Address of comments. The sort of thing Noel Coward wishes he could toss off. Of course, Noel Coward is dead, and so is Mark Twain. And so were your comments for a day or two. Coincidence? You tell ME.
