Being Amish

[PoetPhilosopher]

Don't tell me you haven't thought about it. We can save $3.99 a month on deodorant, build houses for our neighbors, scour yard sales for crock pots, and put our twin beds together at night... so that we can keep our talking quiet so that Jebediah next door can misogyny his wife in peace. There are plenty of fun activities to be had. There may not be internet, but once a week, things get wild when the wife gets the whip away from Jebediah and goes all feminism on him.

I haven't seen him in two weeks, though. I hope he didn't run into wolves, or worse, he stayed out past 8 PM and met Australians.

But lots of fun to be had with the Amish. We dress up on Sunday, then dress up on Monday. Then Tuesday. And every once in awhile, @Dan From Smithville buys our hard apple cider, even after we triple the price!

Just don't break one of The Ten Commandments or @Conscious thoughts will kick you out of the community - then you'll have to wait all the way until age 18 to get married.

And life outside the Community is rough... people making all disregard for the Bible, writing haikus, insulting each other with them, complaining about the awkwardness of 'working', etc.

In my honest opinion.

If this post makes you cringe, well, blame @lewisnotmiller for making me lose my mind with his "Goldie picks locks and the three bares" theatre act.

I'm just waiting for the in between of these two videos - a video of the time Weird Al had his own show.

I once asked Caleb, an Amish guy at an engine show,
if it's true that they don't imbibe alcohol.
Caleb: "We believe that pure clean water is best."
"But one cannot always have what is best."

I had a friend who grew up on a farm in an area where lots of Amish folks lived, in western PA. Several times a year they would rent one of his dad's pastures for a gathering. They'd come in their wagons and buggies and have a big outdoor party, with plenty of drinking. So apparently they do drink, on occasion.

I wasn't aware misogyny had become a verb.

In Katatopia, the women got together for dark rituals in a Bed Bath & Beyond store and decided it so.

I'm all about randomly verbifying words...

Yeah, my bad for always saying you're Amish in Games . You can tell people that I'm part of the Illuminati to pay me back, I don't care.
