    Amish overwork their animal, he knew. Fanatics. Hump their women...standing up, out in the fields, wearing clothes, just hoist black skirts and there it was, nothing underneath. No underpants...

    The bonnet *is* the vagina, HamNo. Or a highly fetishized version of it.

    I once wrote a porn story wherein an Amish guy comes to Philadelphia and fucks a woman with a plug-in vibrator and says, "Ah, electricity! This is so much more relaxing!"

    One of my favorite Letterman Top10s, ever:

    December 1, 1989
    Top 10 Amish Pick-up Lines

    10. Are thee at barn-raisings often?

    9. If our religion didn't forbid the use of telephones, I would ask thee for thy number.

    8. Can I buy thee a buttermilk colada?

    7. You've really got the build for that plain bonnet and shapeless black dress.

    6. Say, my favorite movie is "Witness" too!

    5. Are thee a model?

    4. There are so many phonies at these quilting bees. Let's go someplace quiet.

    3. Thy buggy has a bitchin' lacquer job.

    2. I got Sinatra tickets.

    1. Are thee up for some plowing?

    My mother is always reading Christian romance novels. I think it's just a symptom of how much she hates her life.

    Kirkus Reviews calls it "formulaic and simplistic."

    Half her callers on her show start of with "Nancy, I just want to thank you for the work that you do." in a thick Southern accent. They then go on to ask her why there should even be a trial and can't we just execute the accused now?

    @Nic Fit: And now the callers always also say "I love your babies, Nancy, they are so precious!" And Nancy nods in agreement, but then gets a sad look on her face, because the segment is about some missing white child and people are fawning over her living white children and even Nancy knows that is just slightly incensitive. But then she shows photos and video of them over and over.

    Has there ever been a full-length magazine hit piece on this "woman"? I'm genuinely curious.
    She must have this huge nightly audience of insane people, yet she's completely off the pop culture radar....
