If such photos existed, Davy, I imagine they would have surfaced by now.
I know my boyfriend would be interested in seeing them as well.

If
you have any photos of you and Suzy Plishkin wrestling I'd be glad to take them off your hands.

Why, food4thought, did she not believe you? Did she fear something was amish?

I had a girlfriend like that...
When I would see her, I would say, "Amish you so much..." and then she punched me, but she hit like a girl.

They truly are a self-righteous people, ShutterCat.
Plus, they look retarded in those milk maid outfits.

That's one way to look at it, Ann ...
I suppose another way is to see it as one giant melting pot.

and you're right, who would want that, except for that one girl,
Who cares what she thinks anyway? It's more fun to stay and be number one and annoy the hell out of her. (Congratulations, by the way, you're doing a great job). Segues are for wimps, is my motto.

Thanks for the reminder, Mademoiselle, I think I will
I'll be sure and mention her glasses (speaking of pointlessness), I thought they were way to retro and cool to belong on someone that gauche. I didn't tell her that I actually like the smell of clove cigarettes.

I like this post, Mademoiselle. It made me laugh. So, maybe I'll go back and read the other one too.

All types of people meet up at the zoo. At least, the zoo is a shared venue even when belief systems differ.

Absolutely, Blanche ...
Besides, if something needed to happen in every post, or there even needed to be an actual point, I'd have to cancel my subscription immediately. And no one wants that. Except for that one girl.
P.S. You should have posted that story.

Mademoiselle, since when does something have to happen to write a post?
Life is full of subtext, things thought rather than said. I don't agree that it's not always a good thing to say out loud what you're thinking. The image of that badass chick in an Amish bonnet is hysterical, and I did see "Witness" so I know who you mean.
Yesterday, I told the woman next to me that I hate clove cigarettes, and she pointedly wished me to have a "good day" in a way that suggested that she'd rather see me roasting on a spit, but I returned the feeling, and added, just loud enough for her to hear "There are plenty of smoke-friendly places", meaning "You did not have to follow me 30 feet out into the middle of nowhere and light up". We both left somewhat satisfied that we had made our point, I'm sure.

The Amish sell doughnuts, Ariala?
Actually, I've never really stopped and considered how pastries are made; I guess I've always just assumed there was some sort of a tree.

I'll never forget the time I bought a donut from the Amish and ended up
spitting it out on the street after I found out it was fried in lard. It tasted like pig, not donut.

Other than the two of us, Mason, no one here is going to have any clue what you're referring to ... which is their loss.
That movie was on TCM last week, too. I wish I had known in advance; I would have posted about it.

Wow! Someone finally caught onto that!
I'm trying to think when the last time something actually happened to me.
Let's see ... um ... there was no bomb in the mysterious package ... there was no ghost in the attic ... there was no point to many of these posts ... hmm.

I admire your ability to make a story out of nothing. BTW, what are you trying to do with that subtitle? Did something happened afterwards you're not telling us?

Three quick points, Moon:
1) One of my friends is a reptile keeper. Plus I have volunteered at the Zoo in the past. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff that goes on behind the scenes. Such as what they really feed the crocodiles.
2) I'll be making a pilgrimage to Bethlehem (PA) later this week, on an unrelated matter. Hopefully, there won't be a "welcoming party" waiting for me.
3) This post will likely disappoint my boyfriend, as well. Though for a much different reason.

Mademoiselle, I got pretty excited when I saw the subtitle and then when the words Reptile House jumped out at me, I thought this was going to be my kind of post......anyway, I really abhor gratuitous violence (although the thought of violent Amish is somewhat intriguing.) Sooooooo.......I guess what I really want to say about that is 'all's well that ends well,' (I am told, however, that quoting famous people doesn't really mean that one is intelligent; something about knowledge vs. wisdom.)
