Three Things

Here are three things I thought I'd never witness in my lifetime:

1. The late night, behind closed doors sale of Washington Mutual Bank (rest in peace, old girl).

2. Me, laying awake at night wondering if it was time to get up yet so I could fry myself up some pork jowl that not only did smoke myself...but I helped butcher the pig it came from. In my yard.

3. A couple of Amish Girls Gone Wild thumping along in their buggy, blaring rap music.

I'm not kidding.

Over the weekend we spent the day in Amish country at a livestock swap and eating as much fried chicken as humanly possible. It was great both the swap and the chicken.

But when we stopped at a family run, roadside stand to buy some rhubarb I looked up only briefly when I heard the window-shaking rap music expecting to find some rural-urban-wannabe's in a rusted out Pinto... but what I saw instead when I did a double take... was an Amish buggy thumpity-thump-thumpin' down the road. Even Ol' GlueFactory, the horse, was bobbin' his head.

I have to confess it wasn't the weirdest thing I saw that day, but I just never expected that.

Of course, it makes me want to rap myself. Like I did here. http://adventuresinthegoodland.blogspot.com/2010/03/midnighttime-for-homicide.html

So once again.... Spin Master Dogg E. Dogg and Bigg E. Ti... spin that turntable and drop that beat....

Hey! Ho!
Got any Mennonite in house!?
Hey Ho! Here. We. Go...

So I got in my car and I drove real far
Down thru the hills to the Amish city
I ate a dozen fried pies and my finger got sticky

(wikiwikiwiki thumpity thump thump...)

I saw a camel for sale
And with out fail
Saw a mullet-wearin' fool
Out there buyin' some tools
The seller got paid
And the Amish gals got....

A note from the censors: This rap, altho commonly played in Amish country by rebellious little Am-lettes out hot roddin' it around in their buggies, is inappropriate for the family audience frequented by readers of Adventures In The Good Land.

Too freakin' funny ofg!!!!

I think the Amish teens get to go through a "do I really want to be Amish for the rest of my life?" stage. It is then that they can do anything teens do including but not limited to smoking and listening to rap like my own daughter does. (Just kidding!!!) But they do get to do anything for that short period.

THATS what it is called!! Thanks Noobie!

There is an awesome documentary about Rumspringa out there...I saw it about 3 years ago. Very interesting.

I may have seen the same one, I got veeery interested in the Amish a few years back. I remember there was one young man who had the only room in the house with electricity. He ran it in from the barn on an extension cord, he had a fridge, a playstation, a tv & a boombox. Had this cool, slicked up fauxhawk too, I believe.

That mean woman from what not to wear would probably make them either storm off or burst into tears.
