The date for the "Amish Mafia" Christmas special, "A Very Amish Christmas," has been set for Dec. 10 at 10 p.m. on the Discovery Channel. I'm new to the Amish Mafia party. Apparently the Amish do not like Santa Claus, and if an Amish man brings you a goat, you're his chosen beloved. I thought all they did was raise barns and can and cook! But Christmas just can’t be Christmas without Lebanon Levi King Stoltzfus bringing Esther Freeman Schmucker a goat to show how he feels. She's blown away in an Amish low key way. Jolin Zimmerman, a Mennonite, a huge, ornery, mallet wielding neckless woman named Mary and Merlin Miller are the colorful characters who...

"Amish Mafia" returned for a second season, and Lebanon Levi proved that he was still determined to keep modern technology out of his Amish community. In fact, he's so committed to this cause that he would have his men commit rather extreme acts of violence in order to ensure the technology doesn't get in.
In this premiere, a man showed up and was selling prepaid cell phones, tablets and laptops to the Amish youth from the back of his vehicle. So Levi sent out Caleb, one of his guys, to take care of the problem. And Caleb did just that, using rather extreme measures.
“You’re not allowed to do this! You know that!"Caleb shouted at the man. "The Amish community doesn’t appreciate it. Lebanon Levi doesn’t tolerate it. Guess what? They’re not going to f*cking buy it anymore.” With this declaration, Caleb started tossing...

This makes us miss Bear Grylls… Among the new shows Discovery will announce later today at its Upfront presentation to advertisers in New York are two survival series in which clothing is not included. Each episode of Naked and Afraid will strand a new pair of strangers in one of the world’s harshest environments with no food, no water, no tools, and no clothes. “As their extreme survival skills are put to the test for 21 days, each couple must battle the elements, each other, and their own inner weakness to triumph over the terrain and their predicament,” the press release promises.

It's as unusual as it sounds. On the latest installment of "Amish Mafia," the guys put together a drag race. But in true Amish tradition, there were no high-powered sports cars battling it out on the asphalt. They did it with horse-drawn buggies.
While it wasn't perhaps as high-speed as most drag races -- though 40 mph is pretty good in Amish circles -- the battle proved no less competitive. The guys were serious in the competition, and it came down to the wire, with John lamenting that he'd gotten beat out by "half a buggie-length or so" in the second race. He did manage to win the first.
All of this was to help John alleviate a debt to Merlin, who is the head of another "Amish Mafia." According to John, Merlin is like his own boss Lebanon Levi, only "on the eviler side." Merlin was none too pleased after John lost that second match.
