only 2? words that is!

boo yah!

wait, never mind.

question: how exactly have we killed these dozen fairies? what sort of action must one take to perpetrate the demise of such a creature?

Lycanthrope · 11-27-2004, 02:07 AM

every time someone states that they don't believe in Faeries one dies. Come on! All of you need to go back and reread Peter Pan. Geez!

Funka Genocide · 11-27-2004, 02:15 AM

oh, yeah, that old chestnut.

But this reminds me of a book called "The Strange Incident of the Dog in the Night Time" or something. A reference is made to an old hoax in which paper fairies were glued to sticks and planted in the ground, then a photograph was taken. An expert photographic... expert (?) of the era examined these photos and determined them to be real, even though they were obviously fake.

maybe he read Peter Pan?

Krylo · 11-27-2004, 02:21 AM

Yah, but Peter Pan's version of faeries is pretty stupid. I mean, really, if everytime someone said they didn't believe a faerie died, there wouldn't be any faeries left even if they had at one point existed. There are 6 billion people in the world, almost all of them, at some point, are going to doubt or just flat out not believe, and, most of them will voice it at some point.

The same goes for every generation before us. There's a genocide of faeries every human generation. They wouldn't stand a chance.

You should go read up on celtic mythology. Iron... that's how you kill a faerie. Or, really, just like killing a human, but they're allergic to iron like a vampire to silver.

of course you neglected that fairies reproduce so fast, they make rabits look like elephants.

I think the gestation period for a fairy is something like seven minutes. Its a good thing those little bastards exist outside of space and time, otherwise they'd eat up all the god damned skittles!

what was I talking about again? oh crap...

I'm really having trouble coming up with anything meaningful to say here, but I can't stop typing. I hope you al can understand.

What if someone, after seeing a fairy die in fron of him/her, is so glad to be rid of yet another one of the winged pests that he/she applauds. Would that bring the fairy back to life?

The Cottingley fairies. The younger girl came out when she was 80-something and admitted that the photograph plates were fake, except for the last one. She swore up and down that one was real, but who knows. And Arthur Conan Doyle, Mr. Sherlock himself, was convinced by them. That amuses me.

Funka Genocide · 11-28-2004, 08:10 AM

that Arthur Conan Doyle connection was also made in the book, the person telling the story (who happened to be autistic, I believe) said that while Sherlock Holmes was highly analytical and logical, his creator was the opposite, believing in all manner of superstitious stuff. its a very good book, although reading it and agreeing with a lot of the comments made by the narrator do tend to make one feel a little autistic as well.

of course, maybe not everyone will agree...

I beleive in ghosts strongly. I think that alien existince is possible, but I have no exact view on the matter. I also have strong feelings about the "Little folk", though I also am not sure.

the "Little folk" are, of course, impossible to prove or disprove. Although, I heard about a leperachan shoe that was found. It was made to finely to be a doll's shoe. It had worn down like it had been worn for awile. Also, it was crudly stitched in the back to repair a rip in the heel. The real article was more convincing.

Has anyone heard of fairy forts. They are rumored to be sancuarys or something to fairies. They are all over Ireland and no one dares to go near them, even non-believers. However, there was once a man who dared to dig into the soil of one. he found an ancient treasure that had been burried for centuries. I guess people dicided that they were a safe place to burry things. The only catch is that all the land that fairy forts are on is owned. You would probubly be punished if you dug there.
