    Garfield would just sleep all day after a big meal. (I — someone with partial Amish heritage — find it hard to believe there being computers for the Pennsylvania Dutch.)

    I’ll let you have Sloth, Jason Snake Lover.

    The Amish computers only use DOS operating systems. Believe it or not.

    To elaborate on that fact about the Amish: some communities use electricity, but only when they can generate it themselves (usually through solar or diesel fuel). As for computers, they have very specific rules (reviewed annually) for what can be done with them, and it’s generally limited to managing finances and sometimes assisting in business. They also keep phones for emergencies, and like the computers they’re kept by the community rather than in homes for private use.

    The thing about the lions is easy to believe if you think what a large meal must be to a lion.

    Aaand that’s why we felines – instead of “Sit on it” – use the term “li(e)-on it”

    So don’t use real lions in a 20-hours per day movie shoot.

    What’s your religion? “Amish.” Gesundheit, what’s your religion? “Amish.” Gesundheit, what’s your religion? “Amish.” Gesundheit, what’s your religion. “A group of traditionalist Anabaptist Christian church fellowships with Swiss German and Alsatian traditions.” Okay then, but you’d better see a doctor about that sneeze, could be an allergy.

    Take care, may famed sleeping lion Wee Mo Wep “GAWD Those Dumb Self-Professed ‘Biped’ Humans Are Lame Standing On Their Hind Legs Letting Their Front Legs Dangle Useless All Day Trying To Run Fast Like That Then Giving Each Other Medals And Prizes For Being First Across A ‘Finish Line’ And Then Going Home To Get Meat Out Of An Ice Box That Someone Else Killed At A Factory Where Hundreds Of Cattle Are Herded In Every Day One By One And Turned Into Hamburgers And Steaks And Sold In Stores Where More Biped Humans Slowly Walk Up And Down The Aisles Looking For A ‘Bargain’ On The Cost Of Small Pieces Of The Cattle So They Can Take It Home And Cook It On A Stove Instead Of Rendering It Viciously From Limb To Limb As It Struggles To Its Last Breath Trying To Live While Being Eaten” Roarord be with you, and gesundheit.

    Do the Amish build computers? I’ve seen their wood works, the computer would be an impressive piece of art.

    I believe that “Computer” says “Classic Word Processor”, which, IMNSHO, is not really a computer… ☺

    With due deference to Charlie, I finally thought of an Amish joke:

    Teacher: Where’s your assignment?

    Student: The horse ate my homework.

    Teacher: Horsefeathers!

    Student: No, I ran out of feathers for my quill pen also!

    Visitor to the Amish country: It’s so buggy here in the fields this summer.

    Amish farmer; No, its just muggy here in the fields. It’s buggy out on the road, where the horseflies are!
