	so i met my first ammish person today... Increase Your PM Length

My mom and I were on our way back from victoria, and she told me about this ammish community and their veggie stand not too far from where my parents live, so we decided we would stop by and see what they had. Well, as it turns out the drought and/or heat got most of their crops, so they didn't have anything today, but there was going to be some okra on monday.

The guy we talked to was kind of young, but seemed really nice. he did have a short beard, and his buggy wasn't too far off I'm not going to lie though, his teeth were pretty bad.

Anyway, we drove through the little community. All of the girls in there dresses and bonnets and all of the boys with their suspenders and long pants stopped playing long enough to wave, and everyone seemed pretty chipper...Anyway, it was a pretty interesting experience all in all!

In Lancaster County, PA I'm around them all the time and they are all pretty nice. Even saw some at a Willie Nelson concert last month. Where did you see them at?

I had some jam sent to me that was made by the Amish community. I don't know what the heck they do, but that stuff tastes waaay better than any Smuckers or other crap.

Amish peeps are cool. Why, just look at them in the movie "Kingpin"...

It was a little community near Corpus Christi in south Texas...

I thought they only exist up in the Appalaches where none can disturb their dark rituals.

It's not like there were more potential disturbers in south Texas though.

I suspect they don't even brush them because it's godless or something

Dentists costs money.

I had Amish neighbors growing up. They did some things I didn't like, but all in all they were tolerably good neighbors.

I've seen large communities in Wisconsin and southern Maryland.

They are scattered throughout the country, but they are mostly in the northeast and midwest.. Ohio has the largest amount of settlements, I think.

Texas, the SW and Mexico are rather Mennonite country, right?

Yeah, but were you there when the clock struck 3pm and they all gathered on the top of a hill and drew straws to determine who in the community would immediately get stoned to death?

I'd like to have sex with an Amish chick. . Ahh, who am I kidding. I'd like to have sex with any chick.

But they seem so innocent. There is something to be said about corrupting innocence. Please don't take this as a paedophile post. I don't find children attractive. Now older teenagers however...

I know, I think about sex too much.

I'd be real surprised if we had any in Las Vegas or Nevada.

We only have the mormons to make fun of. We have lots of mormons here. And we have mormons to thank for white settlement of my city (though someone would have eventually settled when the railroads came through)
