Reggae? Never Heard of the Dude.

The second episode of Amish in the City aired last night, and I have to say, those goofy bastards are winning me over. Granted, I think these so called Amish "kids" (most are in their twenties) gave up being Amish a long time ago, but are playing up the notion that they're fresh off the farm for a little "rumspringa" action just for the sake of the show. I mean, would a totally new-to-the-city Amish girl really greet the sight of the Los Angeles skyline with the word "AWESOME!" and pepper her speech with the word "like"? Don't think so.

Still, there's something endearing about them, their bad make-up choices, and kooky accents. That the "City Kids" they have to live with are all annoying is a given. But I'll keep watching it just in the hopes that I can hear Mose talk about Led Zeppelin again.

The second episode will be rerun on UPN Friday night at 8:00pm.

a couple of weeks ago i was doing some "arm work" at 24 hour fineness on market street. across the street, i see a big white van and about 6-8 people of various ages bedecked in a specific color of blue shirt. the men had on overalls and zz top beards, while the women wore flowing skirts and head doilies. i then saw them speaking to some people in the doorway of lucky 13 and they all went into the bar, much to my surprise! each was either too old or too young for a "rumspringa", and I didnt SEE any cameras-- so what WAS that, do you think!?

That's spooky. Perhaps they were ghosts? Is Lucky 13 sitting atop an ancient Amish burial site?
