The Drunken Menno

No insult intended. Just a Mennonite joke

In the Mennonite tradition (verenicke, not pierogi), you do the Rays first and then the Yankees

Makes sense. No one wants to think their ancestry has people (or even just one) who'd bicker over buttons and bicycles

None of those books have cocktail recipes. Just sayin.

I always thought it was because the roads followed the river but I like this better.

I'm assuming they chose those letters in recognition of Anabaptism 500.

Ashamed at how long it took me to find "martyr" in today's NYT Spelling Bee.

Not a great hit in the box office

It was a very different sort of film: Robin Hood argues with the rich about economic justice instead of using violence to steal from them; his followers sing hymns in between arguments; and they keep schisming into merry sub-bands

What a fiasco it was. Right after that, Canadian Tire showed up and claimed to already have bought it.

Looking forward to meeting you irl.

They have promised to stock Mennonightcaps and I have promised a recipe for a 500 yr anniversary cocktail. No talk of them serving cocktails tho.

Also including at least one Mennonite mixologist 🍸🍹

April is National Poetry Month. We need a break from all the news. I'll be adding to this 🧵for the balance of the month. Feel free to contribute.

A Mennonite gal who was Swiss
Was known far and wide to French kiss
But what was far worse
And made people curse
Was cheating at games like Dutch Blitz

Dirkenstock: it's a sandal. It's an ice skate. It's a radical reformation of our most popular line.

From Mennonite Mission Network, the perfect footgear for a #GranolaMennonite

C'mon, @freundschaftphoto.bsky.social. Let it go. They apologized already.

Sorry - pov

To the person getting dressed every morning, buttons are a convenience. But convenience is also just another word for extravagance :)

But also - a lot more difficult for tailors and dressmakers. So, from the tailor's pow, buttons are an extravagance compared to pins

Before buttons, people used pins to hold their clothes together. Even plain buttons were prettier.

Ahhh - you beat me to it!

Is it platz day for us Russian Mennonites? #PiDay

Oops

"Mennonite-coded." I'm thinking the family was singing 606 (118/20) as they walked.

Just occurred to me that taking down interprovincial trade barriers could have implications for Mennonite farmers sausage #AffairOfTheSausages

No but I had a cocktail party

Nope. I do have a Munstirred cocktail in the book but it's always great to see others riffing on Anabaptist cocktail ideas.

Hey baby, you get me more worked than a Church budget meeting.

Huh. Not something I 've heard before. What kind of Mennonite?
