The Long Cloth, An Expanded Fairy Tale

There was always a fairy tale where three geese opened a box, found some silk,
and, if the silk had been longer, the tale would have been too.

What if they MADE it longer?

So, they set to work on finding as many cloths as they could, and sewing them together.
They sewed and sewed until they reached the shore, where, though they had plenty
cloth, they could sew no more. Without getting wet, that is.

An old gnome saw their predicament, and said he'd cast a spell on the cloth and geese
that would keep them dry,in exchange for the feathers of one,
for he needed them to stuff his pillow.

The eldest one agreed, and the gnome plucked off all her feathers until she was bare.
After the spell was cast, they continued sewing and sewing until they reached an island
where they were attacked by a ferocious bear!

Luckily, a bear hunter was in the area, and shot and killed said bear.
He said he'd let the geese use the bearskin as part of the cloth, in exchange for
an egg.

The youngest one laid an egg, and they continued onward.
Then they found a boat, and sewed their cloth into a sail.

After they reached the next island, they cut the cloth back up, and sewed it into a coat.

The local King had a marvelous looking coat, but it was insanely itchy, and so he got rid of it.
He decreed that he would reward anyone who came with a coat that was warm and comfortable,
and he wouldn't care how it looked.

Indeed, their coat looked quite shabby, but it fit the requirements, and so the King rewarded them by decreeing that no man shall eat those three geese, and allowed them to live in his palace the rest of their days.

And so they lived... Well, it's a fairy tale! You know @#$% well how they lived thereafter!

Marrying a FOX?

(This is just something I came up with one night and thought it'd make a good
blog post. I do NOT condone marrying wild animals. Also, I'm not an expert on the subject.
Heck, I've only seen a fox in person ONCE. This is based on what I've read.)

Okay, we know foxes wouldn't make good pets, but now there's another,
more bizarre question, what kind of spouse would they make?

Here are some PROs and CONs I thought of.

PRO: The chance of a fox having an affair with someone else is zilch.

CON: Said fox would require your constant, undivided attention.

PRO: Foxes're really affectionate with their mates.

CON: They get into EVERYTHING if left unattended.

PRO:A fox has really soft fur, so you think they'd make for good snuggling.

CON: Foxes smell worse than ferrets, and their claws are SHARP!

PRO: Foxes are eager to have a good time!

CON: Since they're animals, you can't really take them many places.

PRO: Well, you wouldn't really need a pet, would you?

CON: You'd have to aquaint your new spouse with any pets you may have.
Results may vary.

PRO: You'd LITERALLY be married to a real fox.

CON: Thing is, foxes don't have the best rep. Also, if your neighbors are farmers or something,
then you'd be in a bit of a pickle. Also, expect to clean up after 'em a LOT, and you'd
have to cook, clean, and basically do EVERYTHING yourself. And you'd be married to an animal.


CONCLUSION: Like with any marriage, if you truly love eachother, and are willing to make
sacrifices to make it work, then go for it! Good luck, you two lovebirds!

An addendim to "WOLFDOGS!"

One thing I wanna get outta the way, wolfdogs do NOT make good pets.
Yes, they're dogs, but they're also wolves.

There's a reason people don't keep wolves as pets.
They're wild animals, and can kill a MOOSE.

If you wanna pet, then I suggest going to the nearest animal shelter,
doing some research on the animals there, and adopting one.

You MUST be willing to give the animal a PERMANENT, LOVING HOME.
You'll be stuck with the lil' bugger for 12 years or so.

Good luck! :3

Pac-Man Ghost Candies

These are Sour Cherry flavored, and despite how I tend to hate cherry flavor, I really like these.
Of course, knowing me, I can't have much sugar without getting sick.

Can't very well run a blog when you feel urpy.

So, I had my assistant Snapcrackaboom
taste most of them for me.

He says "It's like I'm eating little baby ghosts."



As I type this, he's eating 'em like popcorn.

The candies themselves look adorable.
I wish I could get a better shot of them, but I had to use my web-cam to get these since I can't find my DSi charger.



And yes, I DID take these pics on my bed.
Now you have just the smallest glimpse of what
my den looks like. :3

Why do I always notice this sort of thing?

Y'know what I hate? When comic strip artists reuse the same art. Mind you, the example I'm about to point out is excusable for two reasons. 1: The artist actually refined the reused art. 2: The strip is fun enough that I honestly don't care.

The strip is called Precocious, and I HIGHLY recommend it.

Wolfdogs!

Okay, so my uncle was a rather stubborn pup, and I don't mean usual boy-stubborn,
I mean it was so bad that even a beating wouldn't do any good.
So, Nana tried making up something scary to make him be good.
She said that if he wasn't good, the Wolfdogs would get him!
Aaaaaand it wouldn't work.

So, she had to be tricky.

Like a fox.

So, she used reverse psychology on him. It worked wonders.

"You better NOT get in that bathtub!" and he'd disobediently do so.

Recently, I decided to look up Wolfdogs to see if they actually existed.

They do.




It's plain to see why he wasn't scared of them.
Lookie dat face! That looks more like something
you'd play fetch with than something that'd
eat you.

Mind you, I wouldn't want one as a pet,
but I'd love to meet someone who has one.

If somebody could find a mix between tiger and house cat, I'd prolly be in keeyuute heaven.

Keeyuuuute!

I've decided to try putting images on the left side of the screen from now on.

Again, I like the art in this strip,
apparently that little freaky-eyes incident
was a one time goof.

And for the first time, I can safely say I've found a cartoon raccoon that I actually found keeyuute. I mean, lookit him! The his face in the middle panel is adorable! He reminds me of this emoticon. :3 Although despite the nice art here, I'm afraid I have no @#$% clue what the joke here is supposed to be.

Okay, so since Lindesfarne (Let's call her Lindy) got her own house, she hasn't been eating the insects in the Dewclaw residence. Yeah, that makes sense. What's a roach motel? Is it something that has a lot of bugs in it? Now that I type this, I think I get the joke, but I'm just not sure.

But that raccoon looks so keeyuute, that I'll take the somewhat lousy joke as enough of an excuse to show him. Haaaaau!
