Just Jack Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Here’s 40 of them for sale.... http://mentalfloss.com/article/538299/set-40-life-size-amish-wax-figures-could-be-yours
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Surprised the Amish let them get away with making those, didn't pitch a b*tch. Don't the Amish get funny about stuff like that, photographs, recreation of their likeness, etc... Anyway, I suppose a great deal if you want 40 friends to shun you.
mead107 Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Gugny has a bid in on the women with the bonnet on ?

I can take a "Sunday Drive" drive from Bird-in-Hand to Virginville to Blue Ball(s) to Mount Joy to Intercourse to Climax to Paradise in about 2 hours (stopping at shops) [and even Reamstown if you are into that sruff] Edit added Climax Edited March 31, 2018 by ShadyBillsFan

I wasn't sure if you were serious... Same here, have communities in Indiana around Goshen and Illinois @ Arcola. Funniest memories were being in a general store in Arcola... Proprietor didn't want to fire up the gas lights @ dusk... Shopping in the dark! Wife loved the "ambience." I just think owner wanted to dupe us into some expired jelly. Another one was when we went to an Amish auction downstate in Illinois... Back in the early 1990s. A medical fundraiser for a young farmer who was dragged by his team. Well there has to be about 100 buggies in the parking lot. My wife asks: "The buggies look all alike, how do you think they know which one is theirs... The buggies look so basic, all black and the same...?? I bet they just share and take whichever one they want, easier to leave." I am like: "Gee Honey, how novel... But I really think THEY know which horse & buggy is THEIRS! See the different metal-work, the side lanterns, the horse color, mane & tail? /smh" Edited March 30, 2018 by ExiledInIllinois

snafu Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Can any of them bake a good rhubarb pie? If so, I'll take that one. Or maybe I'll buy two for the HOV Lane when I commute. Edited March 30, 2018 by snafu 1
