Not the droids we were looking for

The summer community education catalog arrived today from the local community college. The cover is a brilliant rainbow, and as I flipped it open my eye landed on "NEW! WORKING WITH FAIRIES"

The course description did contain such gems as "Discover what types of fairies there are and how to work with each type to bring you insight, wisdom and joy," but the rest of the text made it clear that this would not be my type of thing.

I'm tempted to sign up and then express profound disappointment that the subject matter isn't related to workplace diversity, but with my luck the instructor would suffer from a chronic lack of humor.

Yeah they obviously didn't see the episode of Torchwood with the faeries that looked like a cross between Gollum and green spider monkeys and drowned people with rose petals. That was actually a good episode. LOL

Exactly.

I have friends who believe in the existence of fairies, and who will also tell you why it's a very good idea not to piss them off. That's the kind of belief that makes sense to me, while the "La, la, rose colored glasses, all of the spiritual world has nothing better to do than to attend to your petty complaints" version seems to me hopelessly naive-- wish fulfillment "I'm special because my magic invisible sparkly pony says so."

Haha.

... it's not a pony, it's a unicorn. ;)
