WalMart and the Amish
More than a handful of times I've realized at 11:17 p.m. that we're out of contact lens solution or shit paper. Shit happens.
Jumping into the truck and heading to WalMart, I've noticed on several of these occasions a large herd of Amish folk at WalMart at this time of night. This begs a whole buggy-load of questions:
1) Does the area WalMart have a daily Amish Hour? You know - offering specials that cater to the Amish. Like an Amish Black and Blue Light Special. Bargains on items such as shoes, black fabric, buttons, combs, and buggy wheels.
2) Do the Amish only go shopping under the cover of darkness so as not to be stared at by the city folk? If that's the case, I'm changing my shopping habits to only shop at WalMart after 11:00 p.m. I like to stare at people.
3) Are the Amish afraid of getting spotted buying something that either they're not supposed to have according to the Amish Pirate's Code, or that they should be culling from the Earth? "ATTENTION: To the 7-year-old boy in suspenders in Aisle 12 - BACK AWAY from the Little Debbies - SLOWLY!" Or "A-Ha! Don't even THINK about putting those eggs in your cart!" And "A
Kraco for the buggy?! I don't think so Jebediah." Or this one "Absolutely not Ezekiel - put the Linksys wireless router back on the shelf."
4) And does FORD give discounts to the Amish for purchasing their 15-passenger vans? I only see the Amish and various church groups driving these death traps. Marketing goes something like this "Introducing from FORD for a Limited Time: Finance this NEW 2007 FORD 15-passenger E-series van, and get a FREE iPod Nano AND one FREE Bridgestone buggy wheel. (Subject to availability. The Yoder Tire Works will be shut down for one month to harvest their apple crop.)

Finally, a new slingin' parts. What with everything going on lately, I figured there'd be plenty to say "Son-of-a-Bitch!" about.
Are you sure they weren't just menonite? They can trick you. I've never understood the Amish, but I suppose they always need low prices just like the rest of us.
