The Neo-Amish


Dear Eddie,
We are the Neo-Amish. We have broken away from the old school of Amishness and have changed a few things to better our future. We use computers, but they are powered by kerosene. We wear our own style of clothes, shoes and hats. We have kept the traditional suspenders for religious reasons.
We are a sub group of the Anabaptists with a slight twist - we will punch your lights out if ye spit at us or hit us with something made of aluminum. Our belief in separation from the world is modified a little. We now can use a taxi if it's raining. The Neo-Amish believe ye can have bean bags as furniture, if the beans inside are home grown. We use musical instruments in our worship and we use muted musical instruments during prayer. The Neo-Amish women not only make quilts and dolls, they make beach towels and ant farms as well.
We want to invite ye and ye're members to come and dine with us this Christmas day if ye aren't doing anything. If anyone does show up, please bring more kerosene so we can maintain our new blog, "Neo-Amish in the House".
Thank ye and may God bless ye, brother Ed.
Your friend,
Moses Bling

Wee Bagpipes McGee


Bagpipes McGee seems to have existed for generations, many believe him to be immortal. In reality, this wee Scotsman is descended from 20 previous generations of bagpipe players who all adopt the same persona. When a new McGee takes the task from his dying father, he swears the Oath of the Untuned Instrument: "I swear to devote my life to the musical overtures of Calvinist theology, songs of TULIPS, Predestination, mercy and grace, and my sons and their sons shall follow me". Keep in mind, all McGee's are tone deaf. They think their "melodies" are magnificent. You may see a wee McGee in Cotton Adams day...or in the present. Just keep an ear out or watch for a flock of birds starting to scatter in the distance. The wee man cometh.
