Amish Memories
I would like to explain why I didn’t post yesterday (oddly enough, it does involve leeches and battery acid), but you came here to find out what Jeff did.
Jeff was clearly reminiscing about those glory days when everything was made out of wood and our government considered it immoral and illegal to spy on our countrymen without a valid reason. Jeff grew up in a small Amish community in Pennsylvania where the rules were strict and the bandsaw even more so. His first bike was hewn from a tree that had fallen on the barn and killed his favorite horse. It was an act of rememberance for poor Dobbin. He later burned that bicycle in effigy when he realized that it would never be able to pull along the buggy to take his family to the local internet cafe.
As you can tell Jeff was a poor backsliding Amish and I think he laments the loss of his peculiar faith. I also tend to think that he lays that blame on the lack of appealing video games that properly portray his own upbringing. He tried to create games like those himself, starting with Grand Theft Buggy: Goshen and Electricity:for the Damned. It only took him a few months to realize that the reason none of his programming worked was the fact that the wires in back had to be plugged into more than just God’s wrath.
Jeff really enjoys things with lots of color. Not just because it lets him see something besides the mandated black and blue of his faith, but because now he can taunt or friend Bob about his inability to see them (Bob is completely color-blind, no joke.)
And what kind of reminiscence of the good old days is complete without looking back on when Bush’s incompetence was just funny instead of outright terrifying?
