History of the Hags
This is a Family Circus that Doesn’t Suck
The Hags are a group of women (and a few dudes) who “met” in the comments section of the now defunct celebrity gossip blog, Mollygood.
The word “hag” was hurled as an insult at several of the Hags, and rather than get their collective panty in a twisted bunch, these few Hags, with outreached gimme gimme gimme hands grabbed the intended-to-be-derogatory term “hag” and screamed, “MINE!”, taking ownership of the term and making it their own.
And thus the Hags were born. After having been banded together as friends and Hags-in-arms in the Mollygood comment section over the course of many months and, in some cases years, Jujubees, renowned bedazzler and all around hilarious Hag brilliantly conceived of a place–a secret place–in which the Hags could share their trials, tribulations, and Tom-ba juice. A place where the streets were paved with Baaaale! and the Bud Light with Lime flowed… like… Bud Light with Lime. A place where the Hags could share, as Jujubees put it “the stuff you just can’t post over at Molly.”
Fueled by beer and a dream, Jujubees–like some virtual Gretel– scattered bread crumbs far and wide across the interwebs, and eventually, those bread crumbs led the Hags to the place they called home. Thus in February 2008, the Hags’ first resting place, HagsRus was born. Months later, when Killorn joined HagsRus, she created the Hags’ current resting place– HagNation.
Bound by a love of booze and Baaaaale!, the Hags hail from California to Tennessee, from Boston to Virginia, from D.C. to Maryland to New York, from Ohio to Michigan, from Washington to Texas, from Georgia to Alabama, from Kuwait by way of Illinois, to Utah, from Arizona to Louisiana, and hell, even Ottawa, Canadia (yes, Canadia.) Yet this distance between them neither diminishes the love that they have for one another, nor the genuine bond that the Hags share.
Remarkably, the Hags have never all met face to face. Nonetheless, all of the Hags have become true friends and ultimately, family.
Upon hearing the tragic news in December 2008 that Mollygood was being killed in its virtual face by the economy, after much mourning and handwringing, the Hags decided that they would not go gentle into that Mollygood night. Oh no! And thus, Thundersquee! was born.
Without further ado, it is with great pleasure, beer, and Christian Bale that Thundersquee! presents the Hags:
