Amish Mafia Levi called

The Big Boss called

The Big Boss called

This afternoon, while home sick, my phone rang.  The call ID name flashed on the screen Levi Stoltzfus.  And I be derned, it was.

Levi said he can’t give me an interview at this time because Discovery forbids them from giving interviews and having social media accounts.  So as I reported before, no one from The Amish Mafia has Facebook pages, Twitter accounts…If they did, they don’t now.  Levi stated, “I hate that fans believe these people online are me.  We have no online accounts.”

He seemed to appreciate my interest in the show and voiced some concern about the show possibly not being renewed.  He didn’t state why but I suspect it could be over the “events are recreated” issue.  I said, “While I don’t want to hear people are running around with guns shooting watermelons up, it was great to see Jolin do it on tv.”  Levi laughed, “Yeah, it is great for tv.  I’m glad people like it.  We really do shoot up watermelons patches to make a point.”

Levi has a really nice voice when he is not wound-up screaming at someone, like John.  We talked for a little over ten minutes and agreed to keep in touch.

He likes the idea of a book.

So do I.

Esther gets to use an oven

The casual Esther

The casual Esther

Esther is taking a break from the Amish world and enjoying her time with her boyfriend at his digs.  Mirkat, her boyfriend once again, is enjoying Esther’s breakfast cooking abilities.  “I love watching her cook” he tweeted.  (Bet she is loving cooking with gas.  Woot Woot!)  Not that we need reminded but Mirkat also tweeted, “The Amish manage without electricity all the time.”

I totally get his fascination with watching Esther cook.  The way to a man’s heart is food and I’m thinking Esther should have no problem keeping Mirkat happy.  I wonder if he will teach her how to cook some new dishes.  There is something to be said for a man who can hold his own in the kitchen.

Keeping it hot in the kitchen girlfriend

All that gas oven use must make the kitchen warm.  Esther that little piece of skin between your hot shorts and #5 t-shirt, is that a tattoo?  That would be a super naughty girl move, so now I’m REALLY curious….

Well, after that all out Twitter war, I’m glad to see things have settled down.  If things continue to go well, can we hope to see Mirkat joining in the mafia?  Perhaps a new bad ass dude to give Levi a run for his money and green corn?

All I can say is…MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Amish Mafia

What ya gonna do when they come for you?

What ya gonna do when they come for you?

What’s that you say?  Amish Mafia is fake?  Well outten the light, I’m in shock.

It doesn’t matter if the skirmishes are re-enacted from past events.  It doesn’t matter if the skirmishes are made up from scratch.  What matters is the entertainment value found within the show highlighting a town I could drive to in less than an hour.

Lebanon Levi, Esther, John, Merlin, Jolin, Allen and the rest of the cast: I don’t care if the show is scripted.  I get a kick out of seeing an area I recognize combined with outrageous antics involving horse and buggies, hookers and very scary guns.  They are all on Twitter #Amishmafia     Find them.  Brush up on your Pennsylvania Dutch.

If you haven’t tuned in to the Discovery Channel to check out Lancaster, PA and its “mafia” you better do so soon.  If not, they might come looking for you!

Seen the show?  What do you think?

Maybe Dutch Wonderland will have a surge in attendance…just add an Amish Mafia ride.

UPDATE: I’ve emailed The Discovery Channel about covering their show as part of my Creative Non-Fiction course and my junior internship in Professional Writing.  I just received an amazing Canon Rebel T3 for Christmas and would love to take photos….Lancaster is just a hop-skip and jump away…
