WELL, As we would say in Old Eagle Lake, MN. Old Uncle Crow IS the OLD (!) Sonofabitch from The Factory With ALL The Answers.  And in these pages, God damn it, you WILL find ‘em too!  All about Swearing Down On The Farm In The 1950’s!  How we REALLY were down on the farm–and how we really ARE today–Doped-up & God-damned!  How much MORE funny the Dirty Talk was by the common people fifty and seventy-five years ago–a whole lot SMARTER than the STUPID way people use only a hand full of 4-letter words nowadays.  Because the people down here near Ioway are NOT the same kind of Minnesotans you find on the Mr. Garrison Keillor Radio Show.  Hell no!  THOSE nice resigned Norwegians are found maybe only from a hundred miles north of here or so.  Read “Old Uncle Crow” and HEAR it right inside your brain for yourself!  Hear OUR mean rat terrier Iowegian Yapping & Quacking like a pack of mongrels after a treed skunk–the voices of FORGOTTEN (and ignored!) Southern Minnesota.  Here at home in Old Blue Earth County there are more pigs than people–and some of the people ARE HOGS THEMSELVES!  Read “Old Uncle Crow” and see for yourselves how it’s really TRUE: We GOT all the advantages of Ioway down here–AND NONE OF THE JESUS-CHRIST EM-BARE-ASS-MENT!

You remind me of my mother. She was a fiery Magley and also wrote under an auspicious animal-based name.

Fun read.

THANKS For the kudos, Denise….

I Hope of course in time to get into more than just all the SWEARING — but, it IS close to my heart, Old Crow!

THE Other hobbies are covered in another weblog here at wordpress.com: Bodwyn Wook

WHEREABOUTS In the country are your Magley relatives?

SORRY, I forgot to mention, there’s LOADS about the oldtime Magleys hereabouts, too, in Bodwyn Wook — including a bit there too about the Schuck-murders which involved Carl Magly, and Great-Grandfather Jakob Maegli and the 1st post office in Old Mankato…., Also, a story about how he fooled his ungrateful children in old age, before Social Security!
