Amish Furniture
So why is Amish furniture so special? I know it's made by hand, but wouldn't you think that there are other craftmen around that could do as good a job? Also, what is wrong with a high volume production process? One would think that the quality would be consistent and of a higher grade than that of a hand made special anyway. Would you buy an overpriced car because it was hand made? Think about those cars made in 3rd world countries with cheap labor! Production Line Automation is not a bad thing especially considering the cost advantages and the fact that you'll get tired of whatever you bought in a few years anyway. BTW, anyone want to buy a "like new" Subaru?

Personally, I prefer Amish Subaru's. I find that, since the Amish don't drive, any car you buy from an Amish person is in "like new" condition.
Perhaps the reason Amish furniture is so good has to do with the fact they don't drive. With such limited mobility, one would be home significantly more often. This would obviously require rather sturdy furniture. Therefore, Amish furniture must be built to withstand significantly more use than, say Cheap Synthetic Yuppie Furniture.
I see that you are perpetuating a popular myth that the Amish furniture is sturdy. Ever see one of them bouncing unsteadily as they are riding in their buggy? I actually have an Amish Subaru with nice bold wood grain down the sides. I find that I can save money and use lemon pledge whenever I need a wax job. . . knot!
I'm glad to see you made the wise choice, if not the poplar one, and bought your car from the Amish branch of Subaru. That car will only get better with age, like pine wine.
I think you're going against the grain in your posts. Wood you please clarify? I'm a stickler for details. I think I've burnished enough points for you to respond. Leave me alone.
don't you mean leaf me alone?
The root of Mr. Huge's problem is that he's an ash.
Ok. So maybe, I should have purchased a Toyota Sequoia instead. You poor saps are probably motoring around in a forest green huffy. I'm getting board of this post. Now willowplease leave me alone while I read my dogwood and blondie comics. Olive that strip!
I told you to wait before buying that car - you were way too indeciduous. Anyway, it's too late now so quit your barking. I'd say more but I have to shave. I've probably said too mulch already.
I hope I didn't scare you too much that you soiled your pants. After reading your posts, it's obvious that there isn't a sliver of truth in any of it. Now, excuse me while I go take a teak.
Sorry I took so long to respond, I was lumbering too and from St. Louis. I was driving like a stud.
I don't thing there's a grain of truth in truth in your posts. In fact, you're a bore. I'm getting frusted with the Cubs, especially Kerry Wood, that pecker.
I think the Cubs chances are whittling down to nothing, especially since Mark Prior got drilled.
Come on - Carlos Zambrano is another Sandy Koufax! He'll carve his name in Cooperstown yet! Too bad, Mark Prior got nailed by that line drive or he'd be in line as well.
Irregardless, they're screwed.
I saw you dusted an old joke with that last thread. Now, I'm getting board.
I'm drawing a plank.
I usually listen to the Carpenters for inspiration especially when I get tree-d off.
This blog is really getting to be a thorn in my side. I'd spruce it up but lately I'm wondering what I do it fir.
I would do it for Twiggy. You're getting old, I'm starting to run rings around you.
I may be older than you but I'm more trim.
This conversation somewhat dovetails nicely with some other posts. You sure have a lot of balsa. Do you know where you're going to? Do you like the things that life is showing you? Where are you going to? Do you know?
Those last few lines of yours were supreme - but I haven't rost yet. I never say Di.
I think I'm leaving and going solo. Oh wait, I'm acting too much like a diva now. I guess mo town big enough for my hugeness.
I think you're a jack ass, son. It's a wonder I even added you to this blog. I have the temptation to drop you altogether. And this is pun four, top that!
I don't understand you as you are pretty Smokey, like your are Robin-son other punster. It's a Miracle that you can still post. Actually, it's a Wonder that people haven't guessed that you're Gaye!
Your comments are fine in a stylistic sense and you may be a decent pun spinner but you still don't know what's goin' on.
Well, it may be just my imagination, but I heard it through the grapevine that you dressed three times like a lady last weekend so I'm a marvin at your gall.
Ain't no mountain high enough to match your gall! Ask anyone, they'll second that emotion. Show some respect buddy!
This is as easy as ABC. What's not so easy is to explain that burning sensation when you urinate. Perhaps, you should have your Aretha checked. Franklin, I'm surprised you haven't checked into this before.
I think its time we take this to higher ground. I'm kind of superstitious about this sort of thing.
Can we Chuck this post because I'm not Berry Goode at this. B. Goode while I go to the John. Hopefully, I won't leave any Muddy Waters. . .
Don't sell yourself short, you're a real pip at this. I'll bet your Gladys I didn't post last Knight.
I was up until Midnight trying to train myself on "Georgia" by Ray Charles. Guess I need to catch up on my sleep, but I don't think there's any goin' back, so anyway, I'm leavin'
Oh, beautiful!
Ok, I'll be around.
Where's echotig? Have you seen her?
She never could say goodbye.
I guess she's not a rolling stone.
Marvelous, Just Marvelettes.
I think you're just coasting now. That's right, you're a coaster.
Yakety Yak, Yahddah, Yahddah, Yahddah
Well, mercy me. These puns aren't what they used to be.
You know, you kind of remind me of Charlie Brown
That's it, this is war!
Boy, there's been a heatwave here lately, and neither one of us is prepared to fight.
Hi there MrHuge2U, you've got an interesting post. I was looking for key things to consider when buying furniture, and your site came up. Though Amish Furniture isn't exactly what I was looking for, I thought I'd stop by, I can see why your posting was in the search results. Thanks for the read.
