Has anyone ever done candid camera with the Amish? It would be funny if one day one of them just suddenly used a leaf blower and then when all the other Amish stared at him he’d just look back like “What?”
Actually it would be funny if indeed the Amish didn’t use things like leaf blowers. I am surrounded by Amish and they all have lawn mowers, leaf blowers, weed whackers, refrigerators, indoor plumbing etc, etc. Oh and cell phones too. I asked my neighbor once how all of these things are “legal” his answer was “as long as their are no lines connecting us to the outside world we can use whatever the bishop authorizes”. And yes these are Amish they are not Mennonites or Hutterites.
As for an Amish e-commerce site this one is pretty close: http://www.lehmans.com/ Butter churns are available at prices ranging from 54.95 to 99.95 depending on size.
That looks more like a socially acceptable front for a Militia’s fund raising wing than an Amish site. I see that site and think Survivalists and Compounds. Though, to give Survivalists their due, they do have some pretty boss firepower.
Boogy’s posts – the only written prose more insipid and incomprehensible than Vogon poetry. Coincidentally, Boogy also looks and smells worse than a Vogon.
I’m sorry. I just had a flashback to Rick Moranis in Ghostbusters with that last Booger comment. At least now we’ve got him figured out. I think Stargate Atlantis is coming on later tonight – at least we can be sure he won’t be around for that hour.
He picked Palin because of affirmative action. That should make you liberals proud, right? I mean, you finally got your way. What did you want him to do, pick a white guy for his veep? No one is stupid enough to do that.
So is the place on the Internets where all the retarded gop-lovers meet. You people must be feeling really stupid now that your guy is a total chicken and running from the debate. What a spineless wuss McCain is? You losers sure now how to pick ’em.
Wow, Justme and Touchmehard sure seem upset about their mental deficiencies and bestiality fetishes. Cheer up, there are others like you, and you meet the minimum requirements for being Democrats! Heck, you’ll probably even class up the Democrat party!
Justme – thanks for asking! It probably is just you. But it might be just me. I’m not sure. It could be just a few of us. There are some here still in high school. And some with PhD’s. Is it just me, or are you just asking if it’s just you? Or is that just me? Sometimes, I don’t know if it’s just me, or just you. But it might be just you. Or is that just me? I’m not sure.
Interesting how the trolls who cast aspersions (warning: big word) on our intelligence are the same ones who don’t know simple punctuation, capitalization, grammar, spelling, and sentence structure.
Bachelor & Master here…plus an Associate degree just for fun.
You see, their clever digs at our intelligence, education and hygiene are just for our benefit. Like the beaten puppy, we must submissively lick the hand that beats us. Thank you, wise masters. For you indulgence we are humbled.
Wow, Justme and Touchmehard are clearly two different people. Yep, two completely different people. Not the same loser troll. Nope, not one lonely, pitiful failure living in his mom’s house borrowing money for cigarettes and driving a $200 car. Nope, two completely different people. Yep.
They use generators, air compressors and batteries to produce power. I have no idea how it works but my neighbor’s well is run on compressed air. They use a generator to run the air compressor to run the well. The refrigerators and stoves run off of propane gas because they can buy propane without being connected to any natural gas lines.
Its interesting to me how little wind and solar power they use although the solar power is growing and their stores are stocked with all sorts of LED lighting devices.
lol! frank, that’s funny…I had the mental image as I read…lmao
Sorry, Herr Frank…not funny. I grew up in Amish country in PA; they are really good folks with firm beliefs—something rare in the West today.
Ich glaub’ das war nicht bös gemeint, Jung’.
I was just thinking about that today while I was reading some Amish Blogs and buying a new butter churn off an Amish E-Commerce site.

In light of Reepiceep’s comment, maybe you should replace Amish this Amazon tribe?
Uh oh. Now Jedediah is gonna sue you for libel.
Reep,
That looks more like a socially acceptable front for a Militia’s fund raising wing than an Amish site. I see that site and think Survivalists and Compounds. Though, to give Survivalists their due, they do have some pretty boss firepower.
And you should listen to Boogy. He seems to be an authority on losers.
That is the best poetry a leftard ever wrote. Sadly, it’s also the closest thing to a cogent thought one will ever write.
Re: Reepiceep:
Seriously, Amish can use refrigerators, stoves, etc? Do they have to produce their own electricity?
Their lifestyle fascinates me. Maybe we should look to them as a country: their self sustainability is admirable.
Everyone must see Wierd Al’s “Amish Paradise” sung to the tune of “Gangsta’s Paradise.”

This thread is more fun than the triple breasted whore from Eroticon Six.
WTH did McCain pick Palin. She’s a retard. He’s afraid to even have her take questions. Good lord.
He picked Palin because of affirmative action. That should make you liberals proud, right? I mean, you finally got your way. What did you want him to do, pick a white guy for his veep? No one is stupid enough to do that.
Well, ‘cept that whitey Obama guy.
The Amish taste amazingly similar to chicken.
Is it just me or you all a bunch of retards? Who wrote this blog – did yougraduate from high school yet?

There. Did that work?

But somehow, Son of Bob, is it just me, or do Justme and Touchmehard seem to go together? Just askin’.
How would the other Amish ever know about it without a Television?

Maybe this site is a better Amish e-commerce site. You can even buy an Amish hat.
