Truely Frigtening

I never thought I would see the day that I would be scared to ride in a buggy with my dear friend Jacob. He came over today after a long day in the fields excited to show me something. It seems he's been spending some time on that online auction site eBay and picked up a few things for his buggy. He tells me this place has everything you could dream of and some things you can't. He told me he even found someone trying to auction off a Ritz cracker with an image of Jesus Himself on it! As you can see from the enclosed photo ol' Jacob saw fit to get something they call 'spinners' for the ol cart. He also picked up a 'wing' in order to create more downforce on the the rear of the buggy for better winter traction. He also layered the top with solar cells in an effort to power a radio with 20" subwoofers he also found. It's truely a strange site indeed. All of this without the Parsons knowledge as well. I was wondering why he hid this thing under a tarp though. In my opinion, its the most frigtening thing I've ever seen. Makes me wonder if he's shown the missus yet.

Top 10 Amish Horror Movies.

A few days ago, Jacob and I, were in the fields listening to the crystal radio he built a few months back. On it we heard this young fellow giving a 'top ten list' of some particulars that were quite amusing to both of us. It's been weighing on my mind that perhaps I should perhaps do the same thing here at least once a month for some good humor. I know I added one before when I first started this page but felt I should come up with some real zinggers for anyone that should feel the desire to read this page.

Today I felt compelled to go with the theme of scary movies, given the upcoming holiday. While I have not seen any since my rambunctious days of rumspringa I've heard of them and decided to give some titles of some possible Amish variations.

10. Barnraiser
9. Rosemary's Buggy
8. It Came from The Sharper Image
7. The Devil Wore Plaid
6. The Hand That Churns the Butter
5. Riding in Cars with Anyone
4. The Shunning
3. The Bare Wrist Project
2. The Pennsylvania Handsaw Massacre

and the Number 1 Amish Horror Movie...

1. Invasion of the Bonnet Snatchers
