mummified fairy remains found!!!

Posted on by

This is totally legit.

dead fairy closeup

In news bound to rock doctrinaire Evolutionistas everywhere, another set of ancient fairy remains has been found. Assiduous readers of the ol’ raincoaster blog will recall our original reporting on the fossil fairy of Coney Island, which we broke to the larger world several months ago, much to the consternation of the scientific orthodoxy.

Now comes breaking news from Derbyshire, via Neatorama, that the mummified remains of several authentic flower fairies have been located in a barrow somewhere in the countryside. The exact site is being kept secret for obvious reasons; there is no knowing what shameful lengths the charlatans in lab coats might go to in order to erase this stunning blow to their orthodoxy.

The proof is undeniable:

dead fairy autopsy

The 2inch remains complete with wings; skin, teeth, and flowing red hair have been examined by anthropologists and forensic experts who can confirm that the body is genuine. X-rays of the “fairy” reveal an anatomically identical skeleton to that of a child. The bones, however, are hollow like those of a bird making them particularly light. The puzzling presence of a navel evne suggests that the beings reproduce the same as humans despite the absence of reproductive organs.

Well, I’d like to see what the “scientific community” can set against that kind of proof, eh? Try your darndest, you godless heathens! Just look at that photo; it’s even got a Police Evidence Bag and latex gloves! You can’t get much more official than that! Ha! I say again, HA!

  4. Did you see the big news on the BBC: “Photographs of a mummified fairy supposedly found in Derbyshire have been revealed as an April Fool’s prank.”

    Oooh. Heavy hitting reporting there boys. Go get thee some high paying jobs at Yahoo.

  6. The Beeb has lost all credibility, and this is just the final nail in the coffin. Naturally, the lapdog of the establishment would seek to discredit a find of such magnitude; it could shatter their carefully-constructed NeuLab world.

    I hope that all readers will join me in a boycott of the BigBrotherCompany until such time as they admit their part in the cryptocracy which keeps much of the so-called “free world” in chains!

    Clap your hands!

  8. See, finally a use for squeegee people. Who wants to deal with that mush themselves? Also: corroboration! Who would not take the word of someone named “analglyph”?

  20. I DO believe in fairies!! I do believe in fairies! I do believe in fairies!!!

    Yes – and I DO believe in Santa, the Tooth Fairy and her sidekick the Tooth Mouse, not to mention the Easter Bunny!!! (this is what happens when one has little kids in their lives!!!)

  24. Which reminds me to get my hair cut. Can’t afford to get the teeth done yet, and my dentist is straight anyway. Come to think of it, he IS a bit mousy.

  25. The Tooth Mouse! Heck yes, he deserves to be in the temple too Raincoaster!!! In fact, I think he’d prefer a tooth encrusted one!!!
    Apparently, according to folklore and bits and pieces handed down the ages, the Tooth Fairy used to be a mouse!!!! The mouse turned into a fairy to help the good queen defeat the evil king by hiding under his pillow and knocking all his teeth out!
    Yip – macarbre I know, but hey – isn’t that where all fairy tales find their origins?? Sugar coated horror stories from centuries gone by!!
    So, you see Stiletto, queens and fairies abound!

  27. No, that’s why I make all those sacrifices of tourists!

    Thanks for the tooth mouse backgrounder. How did I get through most of a degree in comparative literature and folk tales without knowing this?

  28. Goblins and Fairies aside, new to all ‘dis’ blog-readin’ and have to say that I have found your blog a fascinating read Raincoaster!!! And yours too Metro. I admire the time it must take you to put it all together!!!!

    BTW it really is quite interesting what one can find on Wikipedia these days!! No almost degree needed for that! :-)

  32. Gwash!! Awww – thanks!! Grasshopper eh! That brings us to another tale!! You know, the one about the grasshopper that only wanted to play and live it up all summer long, scoffing at the hardworking little ants along the way – then come winter -he was stuck out in the cold and who took him in … none other than the very same hardworking lil’ bitty ants, that’s who!
    And the moral of that story is ….

  40. Hair, teeth, if I were a hairdresser or dentist I’d offer my services for free.

    Not sayin’ it’d be any good but I’d still try my best.

  42. just imagine, all this time we thought fairies were just imaginary, and they turn out real, so that means sum1 would had to have seen one before and passed down the tale, meaning any imaginary creature could actually have lived! i cant quite picture a heap of giants roaming aroud though….

  44. the “fairy” looks real but it still isnt enough for me to think they are real and that they do exist sorry

  49. i do beleive in fairy’s!!! and dont forget unicorns and murmaids and stuff, i beleive they just died cuz noone beleived in them… but i dont think the mummified fairy is real cuz if fairys were real there bodies wouldnt be left behind because that will kill the meaning of “beleiving in them” its cheating if you only beleive in things once youve seen them.

  51. Man, whoever did his mortuary work didn’t do that great of a job, I thought. But then, they didn’t have that much to work with I’m sure.

    Just wait til Keith Richards meets his maker.

  53. This is amazing!!!!! I am absolutly shocked I am so amazed that people found this increadable find!!

  59. if there are fairies, there should be fairy dusts… wish peter pan would teach me how to fly with it i will go to derbyshire to grab one. Fly A-W-A-Y!

  63. kelly, you’re right. Fairies do not believe you: I asked them.

    mr smuggles, are you saying you collect leaves that look like fairy wings? How remarkable. I ask myself dat all the time…or is that “I axe myself”?

  66. fairies are not true if u think that they r ture you r a dick fuckers and the wings look like leaves and the body looks like a brunt barbie doll

  69. u r a DICK LICKER if u think fairies r true and its a burnt BARBIE DOLL with LEAVES ON THE BACK.

  71. u r a DICK LICKER if u think fairies r true and its a burnt BARBIE DOLL with LEAVES ON THE BACK.

    Hey! I resemble that remark!

    So eat shit Mr Sums!

  73. Thank you, Rain! I know how you feel about personal links but I thought it was a perfectly and irresistibly suiting response to his post!

  74. I’m cool with links as long as you’re not popping in once in your lifetime just to drop a link to an unrelated post on your own site. I know you’re not a spammer, no issues there.

    And that was just too perfect.

  77. well im sorry to hurt your feelings but hey we’re in the real world and you have to get used to it so im sorry raincoaster and also do u know a girl called veirty i dont know how to spel her name correcrly but please inform me if you do

  81. I know someone named Verity, but I very much doubt that is the person you’re talking about, as she lives in Mexico.

    Those posts were done from the same ISP, and the person input exactly the same email address. Either they were both the same person or you have a stalker, sweetie.

    If you live in the real world, you really should be more realistic. Do I know your friends? I rather doubt it.

  82. Fairies may be fiction. Trolls on the other hand …

    Grotesque little thing isn’t it? I love how it’s trying to talk like a normal human being.

  88. Because I have better things to do than hang around the internet in case some trolls in the comment section happen to be demanding my attention.

    Now that you’ve annoyed me, you should be MUCH MORE afraid.

  91. Every time someone says i do(“nt) believe in Fairy’s one dies.
    So that is why this poor little fairey has died. I DO BELIEVE IN FAIRIES
    It looks real enough for me, so I think it is true.

  94. Oh yeah, sure. That’s what he told them on-camera. I’ll be it’s a different story when he’s walking through the woods alone in the dark. You’re sooooooo gullible!

  95. I know they could have lived just like any other “creature”. It is believable and I always did believe. And of course still do. Easy to prove someone right, hard to prove someone wrong in this case.

  96. Wow If they get a hair sample from it what result of animal did it say it was??? wouldn’t it say that the animal was unknown

  106. Hey Raincoaster!! Long time no chat! Amazed to see the fairy debate continues!! Wow – and some really, “um” poetic, eloquent …. comments up there! Guess it all keeps the blog alive, eh!

    And, yes – I do still believe in fairies. Funny. I usually say I only believe in what I can see with my own two eyes, and yet, as far as fairies go – I believe? Huh!

  107. Well I see them all the time around here. You’re just not staying up late enough!

    Yes, the fairy debate continues, although slower. I expect most of the fairy commenters are in the lineup for the Harry Potter book at the moment.

  109. i think its fake but i do belive in faries and wen i searched for “real faries” they showed that pic and they said “real fairy found NOT ! ! !” it might be real it might not be u never know love, o:-)

  116. they could of found it and it barely had wings so they removed it and put leaves on it and Mr. smugglers ur a dick licker cause u dont belive in it so ha i say again HA one more time HAAAA ! ! ! :-P

  121. lol it looks like a doll the way the hands are all straight… kinda like in grand theft auto their fingers are always stuck together they dont move individualy…

    if you look at the close up and look at the hand it looks like… ok if you make a model car sometimes you have to shave off extra plastic from the parts and thats what it looks like between the thumb and finger

    just saying

  122. If you believe in God then you have to believe in fairies.
    Fairies are elementals they are of the lower realms of angels.
    Us as humans, God has given us gardian angels, now fairies are the same but they are the gardians of animals and plants.
    Now I really dont care wether you believe me or not but I’ve seen a fairy, not like a little person with wings but a big ball of light floating through the room.

    It’s very sad if you dont believe in Angels, as they sure do help you out a lot.

  126. fairys are real ok u can think whatever u wannna think there still real if u ppl took the time to study about them u would believe but u dont because ur all stupid all the ppl that DONT believe there real and i dont care what all u ppl say there real and thats it period done

  127. ive seen a fairy too and if u think im stupid whatever if u think ur a hot shot saying ohh this is stupid bla bla bla bla thats ur opinion not mine or any of the other ppl that believe in them there real creatures god put them on this planet for a reason to make this planet a better place. the fairys arnt little with wings like natalie said and shes right they are a ball of light i was sleeping in my room when it tuged on my hair and the most likely time of night which is june 23 is the most likely time of night to see a fairy and when that happend it was june 23 and no it wasnt a rat i have no rats in my house its been searched and theres none.

  129. I`d like to see the X-rays mentioned, a C-14 test, a DNA examination and Histology of teeth and skin.

    That would be areal proff.

  131. OMG – you people are so daft. This is totally fake. If it were real, why do we not have it in the museum? Instead is is placed as “police evidence” and posted all over the net.
    Get real people!

  132. no it cou;d be real thats why its being checked out at the police stastion. and when they know that if its real or not then they will deside where it should go. any way i think its real. cause how could someone make something that with it showing ribs or the teeth !?

  133. Of course it’s real. The only place you see people who look like that is in zombie films, or The Mummy. Mummies are real–you can see some in museums, right?

    And everyone knows zombies are real: it’s commonly known in Hollywood that during the filiming of Day of the Dead , George A. Romero had two houngan medicine men on the set making the legendary “zombie’s cucumber” paste for making people into the living dead. He also employed teams of men to comb the local cafes and diners for desperate young actors, whom he kidnapped, buried alive, and then had made into zombies.

    Asked later why he resorted to such methods, he commented that he was straining his budget, and this was a great way to get around paying Actor’s Equity scale, as AE refuses to represent zombie talent, Ryan and Reeves notwithstanding.

    Of course the subsequent street protests and riots by his exploited workforce were simply filmed and presented to the unsuspecting public as part of the movie. News outlets were suppressed and all zombie-related activity was dismissed by the mainstream as a publicity stunt, including the legendary Million-Zombie March.

    This is at least as factual as the sad history of zombie protest.

    UNDEAD RIGHTS NOW!

    Thank you.

  137. wow i havent been on this thing in a while hello peoples… :D the people who do belive in faries good who ever dont U SUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    thank you

    Angel O:-)

  139. wel how come things like this are never found in countrys where they orionate like ireland when was the last time someone actualy reported something like that there the myths are still alive there and things are constantly being found but they are never given the chance to be much more than a romour they just seem to disapear americans are the only people who seem to actualy find anything so im a little bit sceptical for that reason

  140. You’re not allowed to be skeptical until you can spell “Originate” and learn enough folklore to realize that the fairies of England are not the same as the Little People of Ireland. Sheesh! Don’t even get me STARTED on Scotland and the Redcaps.

    Besides, look at the URL: these people are not Americans. They are Lebanese, duh.

  141. Erm… He he… Well, I’d say that someone is very good at making little dolls look like mummified fairies.

    Sorry, people, I’d like to believe as much as the rest of the world, but hey, facts are facts.

  142. The fact is, “hope,” that this looks more like a mummified fairy and less like any doll I’ve ever seen. Facts is facts: which does it resemble more to you?

  143. I honestly truely KNOW it’s a fake. If fairies were real, they wouldn’t be called “fairy tales” now would they?

  145. I think that athiests made them up to give God NO credit what so ever. Wasn’t it he that made everything in seven days? The people who didn’t believe that God was real, they made up fairies to make a point, we can’t see God but we can’t see fairies either. Humans are cowards, we don’t like to think we’re alone, so our minds automatically find a reason to think that we aren’t alone, so again, that’s probably why lonely people made up the creative creature.

  146. You’re a fairy agnostic? How can we believe anything you say, then? You can’t see fairies the same way you can’t see God, so your skepticism is strangely selective.

  148. That may be true that i’m a fairy agnostic, and I haven’t seen God BUT I have felt him and sensed him and I have NOT sensed or felt a fairy. . . and I would like to believe in fairies, I love fairies, they’re beautiful, whimsical pieces of art. . . but that’s the sad thing, they are just lovely art, nothing else.

  150. fur: you can’t prove any of it. And I have both sensed and felt fairies. They’re all over my neighborhood, in fact, generally dressed in designer jeans.

  151. I would have to say this is Quite Interesting…I cant really say that I Believe this Photo But yet yu never know what is Really out there we are not alone in this Universe…

  153. whoever doesnt beleive in fairys is wrong fairys are very much of a real person just extra small and has beautiful wings…!
    i do beleive in fairies,i do,i do

  156. Well, all I know is that it’s probably more fun trying to find some sign of wee winged folk than it it to find some semblance of sense and humanity in the world today.

    Hey, that haunted house thingie is starting to fit really well today . . . .

  158. I can disprove that assertion easily and with the full agreement of all fairies – I have no taste in clothes, interior decorating or furnishings. And I look like shit in a bustier, ballet slippers and wings – you haven’t seen me handling any Disney World advertising chores, have you? Eh? Eh?

  160. ican’t bleave that fairys are real i thought they were just a mith but it looks so life like so i am going to say SWEET!!!!!! but i do know that giants were real awhile ago but i never knew this was real.!!!! i would like to know if i was a fairy in my past life. well cool

  161. wow, it looks really real, but im not sure if it is real, i thought faries where a myth but this has convinced me enough to tell all my friends!

  162. WOW!! they are real…my grandmother still doesnt beleive it! shes soooo stubborn….I would like info on how to get a job lookin for things like that faires and such…its so facinating.e-mail me to let me know how to start ajob like yours!
    nikkiv16@rock.com

  172. First blog ive ever read, not much of a reader, not much of a fairy believer to, but this kind of evidence could make Mr.Roger’s shit a brick. But then again, i think its real cos you have to believe in it, i mean come on, with out fairytales about dragons,fairys,and all the other sparklely bullshit, people would stay in a world with george bush as a president….now tell the truth wouldnt you want dream of fairys instead of hearing george bush and watchin Carlos Mencia stupid ass on television every nite? i pick fairys, cos GW is a retard and CM isnt mexican…

  173. i think the story is fake at first i thought it was real im pissed because i do truly belive in fairies and many other ppl do as well i think it is a mean april fools joke to the people who do belive and i am going to laugh one day when someone does find a real one!

  174. also to the hoaxer whom made this fairies arent all cute they are very hostile vicious creatures who dont take to kindly to humans and i hope you never run into a real one because you wont even know wut hit you i assure u they are real and if you dont belive me go walking into the woods at night alone and lsten for there bells i know ppl who have truly seen them whether u belive me or not BEWARE OF THE FAIRIES

  176. Actually, this hoax was created by a magician’s artist. He creates incredible artwork, but he himself said that it was all a joke.

    Very well put-together, but all fake. Check it out on Snopes.com

    A lot of people say that he’s just saying its a prank to get less publicity. i say, hey, believe what you will. Everyone could use a little magic now and then, right?

  178. wow i bet you didnt expect this much attention when you published it. I love fairies i think they’re awesome. I can’t beleive how angry people are getting on here! That split personality Smuggles dude/chick got dead pissed off and then wanted your help on spelling! Fricken hell! Some people are wierd and come on you guys! Some of you relly need to learn how to spell!!! A fourteen year old can spell better than you! (and i know cause i’m the 14 year old who can spell better than you) :P lots of love
    Ashmee

  179. Let me add to the chorus:

    They certainly are real. Not a day goes by that I don’t have to shake one out of the ashtray out on the porch, or clean the mush out when they fly into the fans, or pull one away from the cat (those little bones are hollow and light, but they can cause havoc in a cat’s oesophagus).

    Oh–and it’s kinder and cleaner to spray them. Unless you get them on the first blow, you wind up having to step on their heads, which is tricky while they’re flopping around trying to get airborne again.

    In fact, they seem to have overpopulated the area, and if anyone can help me find the hive and kill the queen, I’d appreciate some advice right here in this thread.

  183. No, the whole thing was IN the police evidence bag. So it was evidence. I guess they were investigating whether or not it had been murdered. You can see it in the pictures.

  184. Well I am still skeptical. Since when was hair preserved? If it were not for the hair I would believe this. Where is this supposed to have been found anyway?

  189. Sorry to break this to you guys but this is fake, some guy made it as april fools joke and sold it on ebay. nice try tho.

  190. It’s pathetic the way you lot make these outrageous claims without any proof. You’d think you’d pay a bit more attention to the facts, which are conspicuously absent from your post. Where is your corroborating material? All I see are claims.

  192. I am a roman catholic woman. And although fairies are not spoken of in the church (as I am sure that they have considered fairies part of the ‘occult’) – I DO NOT consider myself to be a robot of a council of secretive men somewhere in the hills of Rome who ‘decide’ around a long table discussion, what is right for me to believe. In fact, I just so happen to believe in a God who is capable of creating ANYTHING HE WANTS, and that includes FAIRIES. And after combing through other religious texts, it is noted quite often that God is capable of doing ANYTHING HE WANTS, WHENEVER HE CHOOSES to do so. Now, without reading any further, can any of you who comes from any religious or spiritual background argue with that last statement?

    I mean, when you think of the vastness of the universe, who the heck are ‘we’ to say what can exist or not? Don’t forget, that we, too, were once ‘thoughts’ breathed into existence by the awesomeness that is GOD. Having said that, if an innocent child (or an adult, for that matter) ‘thinks’ they exist, then what is stopping God from choosing to grant that miracle? Oh yeah, I forgot- Because in a round-about-way, some of you said He can’t.

    We are arrogant to think that HIS AWESOMENESS stopped with ‘us’. The same wonderful ‘us’ that kills, steals, gluttons, rapes, and even chooses to turn away from Him. Do you think He is satisfied only in His creation of ‘us’? Why can’t we believe that He is capable of creating things of beauty such as fairies?

    Just because we can’t always see them, doesn’t mean that they are not there. Most religious texts speak of angels. Yet I’ll bet most of us have never seen one. Does that also mean that they, too, do not exist?

    I heard somewhere that fairies can only be seen by the pure at heart – a gift from a God who has been abandoned by the rest of us caught up in the rat race of life.

    Look, I know, we all have to grow up sometime. I am 31 years old. I am a successful business woman. Back in my University days, I studied world religions, psychology, and philosophy. But growing up doesn’t mean we have to curse at others with foul language like the ones in this forum who ‘chose’ to speak poorly and condemn those whose hearts still beat with a faint innocence.

    Don’t you think that life would be that much more easier if you choose to believe that anything is possible at the hands of God? It’s not about who’s “too cool” or who’s “too childish”. What it really comes down to is it’s a matter of choice: Do you believe, or don’t you believe, in a Great God? Well, because I NEVER question God’s awesomeness, I choose to believe…. that fairies EXIST.

  193. By the way, I’m not sure why a lot of you are huffing and puffing over this particular mummified fairy having ‘leaves’ for wings. Being an avid fairy follower, I have learned that fairies come with a variety of wings – Butterfly wings (most common), translucent and irridescent wings (like a dragonfly’s), and wings that resemble ‘leaves’ for ambiguity. They are, after all, nature’s angels.

    And, although I am not quite sure about the authenticity of the photos, someone here mentioned it would be more believable had the corpse had no hair. Well, having studied Egyptology, I can tell you that hair in a mummified state can remain well preserved. Even after the body has long been decayed.

  194. Well said, Shanara:
    “I believe, and there is nothing that can convince me otherwise. No argument, no question, no fact.”

    I believe fairies are just as real as God is, and that those among us who are Believers are a unique breed. Thank you so much for your affirmation of my belief!

    It is also true, and I know this from personal experience, that hair on a head can be preserved even after soft tissues such as the brain inside that head have long since rotted away.

  198. My cousin kathy knows everything there is to know about fairies, she would know if this was real or not..she has fairies all over the place. She is a fairy!!! go Kathy, tell us…is it real???????

  199. well my cousin seems to think i know what this is, well im thinkin its not a fairy,im thinkin its a demon from hell, they float around to make people do stupid things this one just got caught in the physical realm….hows that glenna?

  201. It is a truth universally acknowledged that a young man in possession of a good fortune must not be in need of a Fairy, especially a dead Fairy from Derbyshire, the est of Counties

  204. i think its kinda creepy but itz belivable i am 12 and i do(nt)belive in fairys lol is it true or not ?????????????????????????

  207. omg- might eb copy right or a fake but ill test it for now i dont know weather or not to belive but ther has bin evadence befor so yea…if it is fake itz a very good fake then xD

  209. THIS IS SO BULL I DON’T BELEAVE THAT THIS IS REAL.GOD SAID NOTHING ABOUT FARIES IN THE BIBLE. COME ON PEOPLE IF THERE WHERE FARIES WHY CAN’T YOU FIND THE LEFT OVERS OF A DRAGON OR A UNICORN OR EVEN A FOSOLLISED DRAGON EGG? WHATS WRONG WITH YOU!!! DON’T TAke AWAY PEOPLES DREAMS OF TINK!

  211. Isn’t Kant spellt with an initial “K”, not IC

    I’m sure Kant would have believed in a Fairy discovered in Derbyshire – after all, he believed in the Autonomy of Human Theoretical Thought

    If you can’t believe an ENGLISHMAN, who can you believe ?

    Mr Brown and Mr Blair don’t invalidate this – they’re Scotchmen

  212. I would not dare to tell Englishmen what they could think of this.

    Because God knows…It wouldn’t do any good.

    Some day I’m sober I will post the justification for Kantian Teleologism, which should be impossible which is not.

    Seriously,wait for it. I’ve been working on it for 20 years/

  213. Mr G. EAGLE: I am not yet ready to reveal my reasons for Kantian teleologism so I cannot, as yet, support efforts to explain Kantian deontologism. I would hope that you have patience…

  220. Better drowned than duffers
    If not duffers, won’t drown

    Unfortunately for this Fairy, it had not the requisite life-raft, but fortunately for Believers, its remains were preserved in the anoxidant liquid of a deep Derbyshire Lake

  225. I beleive that this is real, no matter what the so called “creator of the remains” released to the public. I know that taxadermists create things like this all the time that looks unbeleivably real (e.g., the remains of a ‘jackalope’ or ‘winged cats’) but i just can’t beleive anyone would do this as a prank. surely the man realised that such a discovery would have set off a series of horrable events twords any living specimins caught, and put such off as a prank. kind of noble, yet unbearably stupid on his part. The world needs to realise that beings such as faries, dragons, and seamonsters are evident in every cultures history world-wide, and that there is no connection between said cultures. this in itself provide sturdy evidence that the beings in question exsisted at one point in time or another.when you really think about it, it is entirely possible for faries and dragons to have evovled out of something just as human beings did- and just died out do to mankinds innability to let be what it doesn’t understand. Discovery channel made a program about dragons, and explained every aspect about them in rational, and physically possible terms- even the ability to breathe fire. so these things ARE and i repeat-ARE POSSIBLE. anyone who thinks that they aren’t should go and read a few science books- there are annimals that are “real” that are MUCH more bizzare than any kind of “mythiliogical beast”…

  232. i believe in fairies even though i have not been blessed with the sight of one. it matters not if this one is real it matters if you believe! thoughts are matter and you create all the time. so to all those who dont believe ha! they exist!

  243. I want to believe in fairies.. but it’s kind of hard in this dead world.. Not enough fantasy, not enough magic.. But in my so strong imagination (which I live in most of the time) there are many different creatures.. but not fairies, unicorns or gnomes.. Wonder why? I love them so much.. And they doesn’t even include my fantasy.. Which is on Andromeda.. With the whole Anime-world.. And me.. *dream*

  247. Well is the fairy a male or female? Is it gonna be released to the public or what? Have you ever seen a live fairy?

  250. I have no idea. Why, you can see the police evidence bag for yourself, and if you still doubt, you had the opportunity to purchase the remains on eBay. I can only conclude that doubters refused the opportunity to do so lest they be faced with the wrongness of the conclusions to which they have jumped.

  255. I am still very young, not even in my twenties yet. So i would believe in faries no matter what… and there is proof somewhere out there, we just cant open our eyes to see it. Pay attention, next time you gou out somewhere where its moist, or wet, like the reinforest, you might spot one. Trust me… :(

  256. You know my name i use, mystery girl, theres a purpose behind it. There are many mysteries out there. If we listen to the facts, we WILL fins them. Take fairies to be exact. Someone cant make something like them up! The photo of this fairy is very convincing, and now i believe in faries more then i did before… thank you for helping people realize the truth behind the “fantasy world” i’ll be checking around, so see ya soon…. maybe

  258. Faries do exist to all of those dumb asses out there the only reason why they stopped showin is cos people stoped believin in them and all of u ppl that think u r so high and mighty can all go to hell….

  260. Yeah, this does look really cool. I do believe in fairies and vampires and werewolves and mermaids. But what really very annoys me is that as soon as something like this comes up there is one annoying loser who has to put God in the picture frame, OH look what god did HE GAVE US A FAIRY CORPSE!!!!! God punished us by killing the fairies, yeah ok, give me a break. 200 hundred years ago people who believed in god would have tried absolutely everything to cover up the existence of something like this, because according to them humans were as high as it gets. Screw that. You just say God did this because it sought of been proven and you people dont like to look stupid, and im not an atheist, i believe in religion that remembers and loves nature, like the norse gods and ancient egyptian gods. But those were all desrted by those who sought to make up a story that would benefit man kind and not the world we live in. If anything will prove this science will, so leave the scientists ALONE (IM A TEENAGER AND I CAN SEE CLEARER THAN YOU). Juts let anyone love the fairies, prank or not, because its people like you that killed them in the first place.

  261. I will always believe in fairies raincoaster cos I live in Derbyshire and I’ve seen them. Those wings r totally fake though-they would have decomposed ages ago

  262. Hey raincoaster this is an amazin thing u got goin here but I can’t believe it goes on for so long-just about fairies, y can’t people just believe, they’re real!
    Sarah r u Sarah Barrett?r u in Lower 5 G?

  264. Yeh, y, r u Ben Hunter? This whole fairy thing is so weird, I no peeps say it’s not true but they haven’t proved it yet an I still believe (an not cos I’m catholic or anything)so mr smuggles an his bf can fuck off

  265. Yep, I’m off school cos I feel like it, I notice ur not in 2day either. I no u have better things to do an all raincoaster but r u here? stiletto? anyone?

  267. Is this real? I always thought fairies were supposed to be pretty little things that floated around like merry little nobs getting in the way and sprinkling fairydust in your hair. Bugger… that would be annoying. Anyway, if it was mummified wouldn’t it’s wings be, like, mutilated?

  268. This is a dried fairy; its wings dessicated rather than wither away, because of the unique properties of the immediate area in which it was found.

    Zombie fairies; there’s a thought! Somebody call Romero!

  270. hey are there fairies at Albany, New York or in the town of -Schuylerville?? please I need to known because I believe in faires and all my life i’ve been dreaming of seeing one, and making things that could be useful for them!! :)

  271. Your Grace

    What do they teach children in these American Schools these days !!!

    In Derbyshire (the best of Counties), everyone knows that fairies are indeed “pretty little things that float around sprinkling fairy-dust in your hair”, while they are alive

    – at least, Derbyshire Fairies don’t go round eliciting disguised Anonymous Political Donations, from Property Developing Millionaires

    BUT death brings on many changes for Fairies as for other Creatures

    G E

  272. their not teaching us about fairies!!..but that would be pretty cool though!!:) I chose to believe in them! oh and just to tell you I know like verything about fairies and they DO NOT! go around srinkling fairy dust on your head! Fairy dust is only used for majic…they dont use majic on humans!

  274. The reason one rarely sees such well-preserved fairy remains is that they are often significantly altered by their passage through the jet engine; or in the more rural areas the digestive systems of dogs and cats.

    I had thought to encourage them to take up residence locally, perhaps even establish a breeding colony, by leaving out the traditional bowls of milk. However, this attracted more cats, which as I noted are death to fairies.

    Seeking something sweeter, I eventually discovered ethylene-glycol-based antifreeze. While I haven’t sampled it myself, several resources assure me it’s quite tasty. I’ve been leaving it in a dish on the back porch for several weeks now, and the fairies are lapping it up at a rate of knots!

    They have yet to establish a colony–in fact I have yet to catch one feeding. However the local predator population seems to have declined, which I regard as a hopeful indicator.

  277. … die ??

    Warum + waroom = Varoom

    [Y + Y = Booming Climate Change]

    The Fairies will not go away because these Evolutionizing pScientific Materialists keep unleashing into the atmosphere Bowls of ethylene-glycol-based antifreeze, which (like Disguised Donations to the Labour Party) are hardly Carbon-neutral

    G E

  278. hey…
    well…
    i got a shock!!!
    i am really intrested in all these….
    however i don’t think it’s true…
    could you please send me to my e-mail adress some more details and evidence by the scients????
    thank you so much anyway….

  281. Your Grace

    In the Life or Death of a Thread, it is important to ask the Right Question

    It is the Right NUMBER that we should seek, not this nagging Anxiety for Evidence nor this worried speculation about the impact of ethylene-glycol-based antifreeze (“Fairy Booze”) on Canadian PermaFrost

    Surely the Right Number is :

    NOT 42

    Nor “0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946, 17711, 28657, 46368, 75025, 121393 ……”

    Inspired by the sagacious Guido Fawkes’ longest thread, I commend a number beyond :

    Your Grace

    Here in the little Auld Country, Guido Fawkes is (as always) vastly worth a Visit

    Senor Guido’s famous thread achieved the almost Magic Number of [(71 x 5) – 1]

    Currently, Senor Guido is doing a brilliant Job over “DonorGate”, where our New Vicar (Herr Braun) is being embarrassed by (apparently) doubtfully reported/recorded Mega-Donations to his Working People’s Clerical-Party

    I dinnae ken what all the fuss is about – I’m sure the US Republikans raise their Funds on a Grander, more Brazen & Shameless scale, without anyone complaining or suggesting that criminal offences are being committed

    However, all this DonorGate fuss means that our Vicar has not been able to enact enhanced Protections, much-needed by Local Fairies – hence their mass-emigration to the Canadian Pacific Rain-Forests where so many are falling as premature prey to Tree Octopodia & Cats/Dogs and ethylene-glycol-based-antifreeze-Addiction

    I have the honour (err… honor) to remain your Grace’s MatheMagically-challenged Servant etc

    G Eagle

  287. Your Grace

    Can (or is that a mis-type for Cant) seems not to have completed his Sagacious Komment

    Perhaps the Britisch could fly out their Cabinet with all their assistants & other high-paid lackeys (err …. patriotic hard-working Public Servants, the best in the World)

    Stressed & troubled folk would of course have to fly Business Class, if only to keep out Poor Seekers-after-Truth (“Journalists” like M Metro et Senor FFE) whose Employers don’t run to Business Class flights

    They need the peace & quiet of such lovely Countryside to quietly co-ordinate how to Spin against the DonorGate misREPRESENTATIONS, away from the unWelcome observation of Gentlemen and (in these enLightened times) Ladies of the Press

    However, having banned Fox-Hunting in Inglaterra (and at the stroke of a frivolous pen, destroying 250,000+ jobs in the UK Countryside despite its heavy levels of unEmployment) the danger is that they would eat raw Tree Oktopodia as a succulent delicacy, as alternative to Battered Panda Steaks

    On reflection, perhaps we should get Mr Bush to send more Americkan tourists

    Your Grace’s obedient servant etc

    G Eagle

  290. I’m given to understand that it’s, what?, 13 comments to go before you overtake the comments count set by Guido Fawks and his ‘Peter Hitchens’ thread?

    And this thread is “proofs were brought forward and each, in turn, mocked. Fossilized fairies. Mummified fairies. Even, in the ultimate legitimization that Western society offers” So, no relation to the Guido thread then? Related Fairies? No related fairies.

    I might be in error so I think it expedient to say absolutely nothing about Peter Hitchens or fairies or any relationship between the two.

  296. Well I’ve done my bit and even got a warning message for it for posting too quickly which I thought was impressive considering I know sod all about fairies!

  304. Your Grace

    Noch ein grosser Sieg mit 301 Treffer

    but

    As Obi Ben Kenobi’s freond so sagaciously opined :

    “There’s always a bigger fish”

    Senor Guido’s thread ran to 354 posts !!!

  307. Your Grace

    Well done

    [sotto voce]One is reluctant to make any remark that might be construed as insulting to Spartans, but perhaps your Grace could be urged not to get too friendly with your Friendly-Neighbourhood Spartans

    These were the Guys who used to shew such tender regard for their Wives that they murdered those babies who did not shew sufficient of the robust Potential of Muscular Christianity

    and while some of our Better, most incisive Journalists struggle with their Employers’ Wise Judgments & Generous Remuneration packages

    the Spartans used to (without warning) declare War & go round murdering their own Loyal & Quietly-Behaving Employees (“Helots” or in the 1860’s Confederate Vernacular – “Slaves”), just so that the Helots [Greek-Speaking yokels] would know they would get far worse if they ever chose to become revolting – eg by voting Democrat or supporting Leveller opinions or learning Latin

    G E

  311. Easy peasy.

    Incidentally, HWMNBN has published an apology from a correspondant at the end of todays post, the delivery of which to blog readers is so smug it’s vomit inducing. The apology makes the one painfully extracted from me look positively shy in it’s brevity. Can we send HWMNBN faeries for xmas? No. I should eschew these thoughts and sleep.

    I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,

    Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,

    Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,

    With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine:

    There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,

    Lull’d in these flowers with dances and delight;

    And there the snake throws her enamell’d skin,

    Weed wide enough to wrap a fairy in

  313. Oh that’s brilliant I love that, thanks. Best not send him anything though it just invites bile by return – I just delete his emails now without reading, it serves for a much happier life. He has got my phone number, eek!

    Ellee Seymour has a post: ‘Publish and you are damned!’ about unfortunate blog posts and I couldn’t resist this comment:

    And as if by magic we can see an apology for a blog post published on Peter Hitchens’ blog at the end of todays post about the film The Golden Compass.

    The presentation of this apology to blog readers is so smug it’s vomit inducing. But do not imagine that I do not admire his skill with words, and my personal admiration for him is positively Shakepearian in it’s poetry; like that of Titania for Oberon. But when he launched the strong voice from his chest, and words came driving on the air as thick and fast as winter snowflakes, then, as Odysseus, he could have no mortal rival as an orator!

    Sadly I do not have the beauty of Helen of Troy but, it seems, all of the effect.

  315. And the third.. message I mean:

    Lady dear, if fairies may

    For a moment lay aside

    Cunning tricks in elves play,

    ‘Tiss at happy Christmas tide.

    We have heard the children say-

    Gentle children, whom we love-

    Long ago on Christmas-Day

    Came a message from above.

    Still, as Christmas-tide it comes around,

    They remember it again-

    Echoes filled the joyful sound

    “Peace on earth goodwill to men!”

    Yet the hearts must child-like be

    Where such heavenly guests abide,

    Unto children, in their glee,

    All the chill year is Christmas-tide.

    Thus, forgetting tricks and play

    for a moment, lady dear,

    We will wish you, if we may

    Merry Christmas, glad New Year.

  316. Philipa: is he stalking you? Maybe Boris could help: Boris loves press!

    Ellee is an awesome blogger, someone I HAVE to get to more often. And of course, this post rocketh severely.

  319. Oh soz, don’t have your gmail but reply sent to your reply so hope you pick that up. Will ask for your gmail next time.

    Anyway, just got the children Shrek 3rd, will look out for fairies but the main one plays a character that looks spookily like a young Boris the beautiful.

  323. Mon dieu Mr Eagle!

    I think it was Vogue who ran an article featuring the Bozmeister and I particularly remember a pic of him aged about 21 in which he looked uncannily like ‘Charming’ from Shrek2, only not gay and with a better voice and a backbone, obviously.

    PS: thanks Raincoaster, thankyou for your decision. I am indeed calming down, slowly. Handing in my assignment helps. It’s Rousseau next – goody :-))

    Liberty, fraternity, property??

  325. ‘parently the soundbite was originally ‘liberty, equality, property’ as it was essentially a bourgeois revolution but I will look into this and report back..

  326. “Everywhere, Men are born Free,
    mais les Dames do the Cooking et the Washing-Up

    Rousseau was rich enough to be able to afford to be a Socialist – presumably Cruella de Blair et M. Le Brun are similarly embarrassed with riches

    What happened to Rousseau – did he live long enough to have a Blind Date with Mlle de La Guillotine ???

  328. Composer I think, he died a natural death and I think he dumped his children in an orphanage. Dominic Lawson did quite a good piece on men who bang on about liberty and family and whose behaviour is quite the opposite.

  330. I’m reading my Tom Paine book at the mo but may treat myself with a book on Rousseau for crimbo. I want to get Simon Schama’s book on the French revolution but do you know it’s cheaper and quicker to buy it from Amazon than it is from my local mall?! They didn’t have anything I wanted in my local bookshop, it was full of pap; biographies of footballers and z-list wannabes, penny dreadfuls and celebrity chefs.

    I declined the offer of a free book on wizarding claimed to be aimed at children though it was beautifully presented with pentagram and spells and free parchment. No fairies though :-(

  332. I prefer the Halliburton film version of A Christmas Carol. It’s just like the Alistair Sims version, only they play it backwards so that it has a happy ending.

  333. Cheers me up when I can escape the TV. That’s what a lot of people do here you know – just eat, drink and watch TV, with relatives they’ve managed to avoid all year, it’s the talk of the playground; everyone’s having a good whinge and getting it out of their system so they can smile through gritted teeth at the bitch their brother married or the mother-in-law that hates everything through her painted pink smile. Luckily my relatives are ok – they like quiet when the very loud TV is on so I go in the back with my babes and play till bedtime then read Tom Paine and I’m asleep within 2 pages!

  334. That’s not what happens to me, Philipa: I generally throw Tom Paine across the room and then write really bitchy comments on Tory blogs.

    Metro: if Cheney were to be visited by the ghosts that Haliburton has created, he’d be kept busy till New Years at least!

  336. Just saying this, how utterly stupid!
    Fairies are a figament of childrens imagination.
    AND THAT’S COMING FROM A 13 YEAR OLD!

  337. Char “…. figament of childrens imagination …. ”

    All Children are of course very welcome in this Kindly & Tolerant Space … even perceptive and sagacious faery-unbelievers/skeptics

    SchPelling is the burden of Adolt imagination and it improves with age, at least prior to dementia setting in

    Was it Galileo’s ADULT imagination that came up with the misconception that the Earth goes round the Sun

    … whereas inspired by Einstein, 20th Century Physicists kNow all Motion is relative
    …

  339. Mr Eagle – “all motion is relative” – you’re not kidding! That’s all some relatives talk about.

    Can’t bitch on Tory blogs at my folks as it turns Mum into something sounding like Terry Jones from the Life of Brian, which admittedly can be a laugh but only once.

    I don’t think ‘Rach’ is a child of 13 at all. She might be 14 at which age everything is stupid. Bless. Or she might be a 220lb trucker named Duane who’s in denial. I think we need more proof, at least on the fairy front.

  341. wow i dont know what to think.

    when i lived in texas when i was in 2-3 grade, me and my best friend tasha DID see fairies at our school, at my apartment, in her yard, basically everywhere! one day we were exploring and we came across a tree with a bush. we peeked inside and saw a colony of fairies! the leaders name was laurabella, and she was about to have a little baby fairy! i would go there everyday and see them. they showed the their ruines, and cloths. laurabella had white wings and dress, and she “said”(couldnt talk to us ut signed to me) that she was going to name the baby fairy after me, and that she would visit me. but when i moved to socal in 3 grade, there were no fairies and nobody beleived in them. im in high school now, and laurabella and her baby have never come to see me.

    maybe it was just our imagination? idk but this has convinced me otherwise! this looks so incredible!

  343. Your Grace

    It is a Truth universally acknowledged that educating females can have unexpected (as the Mond=Tochter indicates) consequences, as the years advance

    Without female education, we would be deprived of those glowing Jewels in the UK Governmental Firmament

    These Ladies have brought such glamour und political effectiveness – such supporters (as they gobble up their massive Government expense allowances) of Mr Blair, until he moved on to a higher plane of existence

    eg Mrs Jack Dromey (err in Canuckistani – Ms Harriet Harman)

    eg Mrs Ed Balls (err in Antipodean – Ms Yvette Cooper – even as we type, she is doing more to wreck the English Housing Market with her “HIPS” packs, than the combined Greeds of the US Sub-Prime Mortgage Lenders and Northern Rock)

    eg Mrs David Mills (err … Ms Tessa Jowells)

    eg Mrs Tony Blair (Cruella Booth aka Cherie Antoinette)

    eg Mrs Derek John Gadd (… Ms Ruth Kelly) – the member of Opus Dei who is a pre-eminent contender in a well-populated field for the prize of most light-weight Education Ministers – the sort of woman who would exclude Faerie as a subject in the Englisch National Curriculum, as well as criminalizing Catholic Adoption Agencies

  344. 355 comments is the goal? I can see the whites of its eyes.

    G Eagle, don’t be so narrow-minded. I saw Guido’s “Tory Totty” thread, and the pickings there don’t look much more promising, either aesthetically or politically.

  345. Your Grace

    … but I am so much older than you – allowances must be made

    AND Your Grace et Mr AerChie can luxuriate in not being narrow-minded, when your Countries’ affairs are so well presided over (of course under our Gracious Queen. God Bless her) by those awefully nice Chaps Mr Harper & Mr Rudd

    but even wide-minded Colonials et exColonials would be endorsing this SECOND BLAST OF THE TRUMPET against the MONSTROUS REGIMENT of WOMEN … if Canada & the USA was under the Government of the afore=mentioned Ladies

    Perhaps this explains why Gordon currently looks so …..

    Lucky for your Grace that your Grace had not registered to take a UK Driving-Test, in readiness for Britain’s leading Bloggerist asking Canada’s leading Bloggerista for remunerated help – if you had, your personal details might well be in the hands of the US mafia

    Mrs Derek Gadd has now apologized in the House for losing the personal details of 3-million Learner-Drivers – perhaps we should ask FFE (our distinguished US Correspondent/Investigative Journalist) to try to recover them – apparently they went missing on a Hard Disk in the USA

    However, if your Grace’s name is indeed amongst the “3 million”, I suppose your Grace could go on a UK Witness-Protection programme, with a New Hidden identity

    … err … but perhaps this would not be such a good idea

    International Criminals could well have now acquired the Inland Revenue’s “lost” 25-million personal files, which include the assumed names & locations (& National Insurance tax numbers) of all those on the UK’s Witness Protection Programmes

    PS Me miserum – still another 12 to go … und I see I have included not Mrs Ian Ducat in the Schedule of Illustrious Ladies who so illuminate British political Life

  346. I knote the abundunce of posts from a certain G Eagle of whome many tails are tolled. He no longer has credibility as he, above, on Octembere the fiveth, referred to “Scotchmen”. And he was not referring unto the makers of a form of uisge beatha named Laphroaig. He was referring, insultingly, to guid honest Scotsmen. Undoubtedly he is blinded by his foolish detestation of the followers of Keir Hardy. He has shocked me into correct spelling.

    Someday soon, he could well be attacked by an enraged sporran and kilt! And all the Derbyshire Fairies in the world will not save him!

    Ask not for whom the belle tolls – – – !

    (344?)

  347. No Sir, can it be, Archie, that Mr Eagle has made such a mistake? It must be so and a heinous error it is to any scotsman to be sure. I predict that if the word gets out the little wee haggi will be hunting oot the poor man. Beg forgiveness Mr Eagle for a haggis with a mission is a sight to behold.

    Crivens!

  348. Indeed, and he seems to be blaming the US mafia on the female of the species. Given my neighborhood and gender, this is not inclined to endear him to me.

    He must have gotten up on the wrong side of the porridge this morning or something.

  349. Oh waily, waily, waily, Sweet Philipa, as you are already a member of the Grey Eminence’s “Monstrous Regiment of Women”, I fear your opinions may be ignored, as he seems to be taking on the attitudes and habits of that other grey person, the Wintersmith. But let him be in nae doot! Nae King! Nae quin! Nae Laird! Nae Master! We willna’ be fooled again! For we are the Wee Free Men!

    And we will cut off his porridge!

  353. Ach no Archie, the Wintersmith is no grey, he’s white and bites like the frost on your face and stings your eyes and steals your breath in the wind. He dances like snow in the breeze and threatens like thunder. He has the power of the Earth and is tamed by the brightness of a sunny smile. Nae lad, Mr Eagle’s not like the Wintersmith, we can easily cut off his porridge.

    But as Raincoaster decrees – 48hrs before bringing in the hoses. (why hoses? you’ve got a spoon, what more do we need? – it must be a haggis thingy, ah waily waily, not the haggis beastie)

  355. I would always pass the port to the left, unless I was sat on the hosts right. Hilary is Boz’s choice but I have never endorsed her nor would I. Jesus isn’t to return, he never left – we are only doomed by our own actions, especially those actions that court the wrath and displeasure of the dreaded Haggi..

    oh waily waily!!

  359. Why aye, the big green beastie!

    Do you not have green beasties in Canada?

    Hey I saw a prog on the bears in Canada moving into the towns of ski resorts to feed. They were magnificent creatures but people would happen upon them and then take pictures and the bears would amble off – you’d be in more danger in London! Well you would in hackney.

  360. We have only Ogopogo.

    But yes, we have bears, but they’re not that harmless. People routinely mistake them for chow-chows, which is a mistake. One eedjut decided to have his kid feed a honey sandwich to the bear…which was a grizzly. Now they call the kid “Lefty.”

  361. Yes the teddy bear image does rather give the wrong impression. Sounds like the kind of dumb parent you see pushing the pram, with baby, into the road whilst themselves waiting safely on the pavement to cross.

    Sadly my babe, the junior journo, has had to come home from school with a raging temperature. If you have any influence with the fairies I’d like to have her well for at least Xmas please. The annoying thing is that out of hours medical care is non existent in this country unless you go to A&E.

  362. Fairies rarely heal people, in my experience. They DO cause a lot of fevers, though, so maybe they’re watching what you type here!

    A&E? The Arts and Entertainment network? I don’t think they can help. This mythical country where doctors are on 24 hour call over the holidays? It does not exist, and never has. Just read A Junky’s Christmas; even the drunken sot of a doctor in that one wouldn’t take calls on the holidays.

    My sister used to work switchboard in a hospital, and she suggested that rather than bring sick kids in, parents call in and ask to speak to a nurse, who could make the determination of whether or not it would be better to bring the child in, with all the waiting around that entails, or to try a bit of on-site triage and see if the child improved.

  364. 360 – well done!

    Managed to get my babe to a doctor so she’s on antibiotics. But in all fairness this mythical country where doctors are on call 24/7 is in fact the Accident and Emergency dept in any NHS hospital in the UK. My son spent xmas from ambulance to A&E to ward one year and they tried so hard to make it fun for him with presents and a santa who had to wave from the door of his isolation room. ‘Daddy’ wouldn’t even come onto the ward but this stranger ho ho’d to every child. That mattered.

  365. You mean where “residents and interns” are on call 24/7!

    And yes, they really do try hard in children’s wards at Christmas. It’s heartbreaking for them to have to be in there at that time.

  371. And this
    Another Fairy Caught on Film?
    This anomalous flying, glowing object was photographed by reader Neil Wallace at Spofforth Castle, North Yorkshire, England. “Perhaps there is more to this faerie thing than meets the eye!” Neil says. “I was the only one there and was braving out a night time photo shoot. Spofforth Castle is reputed to be haunted by a young maiden who committed suicide supposedly by falling to her death from one of the towers, and has been frequently seen walking the grounds in and around the castle.” You can see the full photo in the Paranormal Gallery.

  374. Thanks! I shall keep you posted (although I did once show up at my friends’ house, having idly boasted of doing so months in advance. Such a shame it was two-thirty in the morning and they didn’t quite have the strength to appreciate the joke.

  384. Bonjour, la Vestre Grace

    The puir wee Lassie – she seems rather thin

    Peut-etre, elle est morte parce que elle a mangée de trop de Porridge avec le salt et pas de beaucoup de sucre tres nummé et nourishant et fattenant

    Cause of D’Eath = Dieting & Eating Disorder

    Is that what made your friend the Mesonychoteuthis Hamiltoni float to the surface off New Zealand on Monsieur AerChie’s Blogge

  385. Ah, that would explain it rather well. Perhaps we are looking at Kate Moss’s great-great-great-great-great grandmother?

    As for the ways of the Colossal Squid, they are mysterious even to the fairies.

  386. i know fairies are real.I have a fairy that keeps an eye on me.i also have a sister in law that can see them.just coz u don’t see them,doesn’t mean that they are not real.u can’t see love but u know that it’s there!!!!!!!

  389. What do Grey Eagles cook? Bald Eagles eat a lot of salmon…I shall do my best to become rich enough to annoy in person on two or more continents by this time next year.

    Archie: it looks like we shall leave Guido in the dust long before then. Although I think he’s more of a cinder than a mummy, unless my history is all wrong.

  390. There are always things that were told which have for some reason passed down the line as tales. No one knows if they were real, but who knows what our past bred! With science or without it, you can’t always prove something right. It’s possible that fairies do exist, or at least existed long ago. It’s also possible that they do without scientific evidence because science isn’t always on our side- nor 100% correct. The truth is hidden within the past, and sometimes science can’t find it. So maybe the fairy there is real. Maybe it’s not. Maybe fairies have existed long ago. We may never know throughout the life of this planet. But to have a possibility takes a step closer to the proof. You can’t say something’s real, or say it’s not real- no matter how much evidence there is, because you don’t control the fate of this planet’s life (historical to present) nor do you know all of it’s past. Science is so difficult that we can never understand everything about this planet to stay short, but think about what the universe has that will take forever to find! That would make my head hurt…

    If you’ve seen one- then there’s a chance that they’re real^.^

  392. Science is not difficult – it is the observation and analysis of the natural world. Getting it right is the difficult bit. It IS possible to ascertain what is real – the light in the fridge routine is a con spouted by men to confuse you long enough to get you naked.

    Mr Eagle Sir – porridge with salt in? Ugh!

  397. im 9 years old and i belive it. 1 because i rote to a fairy and they said they were 6-8 inches tall. i left my note on my drive and did NOT tell my parents. no lie

  398. yes i right to the fairys no lie but their is evedance this is fake. but if their was no evedance i would belive it

  399. I’m sorry I didn’t understand that – should there be a hyphen in eve-dance? Do fairies dance on new years eve? You’ll have to let me know as I can no longer be bothered with all that auld lang syne stuff – grim.

  401. Haggis is yummy but chasing them always makes me dizzy.. and it freaks me out when they turn and start chasing YOU! ARGH! Hey enjoy the dance if you get the chance but be careful ;-)

    The Lady ApilihP has achieved a Milestone of Wisdom

    It is a Truth universally acknowledged amongst the Cognoscenti of Occult Mysteries :

    Doomed

    We’re all Doomed

    The Hunter must always BEWARE, lest the Hunter becometh the Hunted, on the Way to painfully-becoming Late (= Dead in Botswanan or FruhStuck for a Gaelic-speaking Haggis)

    A Haggis most Ravenous is indeed an anxious Sight – but just think hWat it must have been like before Caledonia was inhabited by Homo pSeudo Sapiens, WHEN Giant Haggises (in Gaelic Haggoi) roamed the Land in Quest of Beavers, Panda Cutlets, Raw Squirrels and pSalted EgdirroP to afford a varied Diet to the Plump & Greedy

    AND BTW

    Exactly what did this Late Fairy have to do with D B Cooper – is it true that the Body was discovered with used $20 dollar bills from the early 1970’s

    One would not like to think ill of a Derbyshire Fairy

  403. well i sorta blive in faries but yur right they should stay in our head but i showd it to my dad but he said its a load of s***(poo) but im not botherd to what peeps think stacexxx

    p.s maybe the bbc said it was april fool coz the FBI told them 2 just maybe

  404. I believe DB Cooper was on the run from the murder of this poor fairy; it would explain so much! Stacy’s on the right track, insisting on a BBC-FBI conspiracy to cover up the truth.

    Philipa, the thought of being chased by a wild haggis will now haunt my dreams.

    402!!!

  406. WOW YOU CAN SO TELL THE WINGS ARE OLD LEAFS FROM A TREE =) KINDA DUMB TO TRY AND FAKE FARIES OUT . aND THAT DEAD LITTLE BODY , WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THAT FROM ? IN A MEXICAN PARADE OF EL DIA DE LOS MUERTOS? HAHA J.K

  409. I prefer the real thing to imaginary except in certain circumstances, such as being sung to by a witch underground while Puddleglum tries to remember something important.

  410. Hee hee, excellent. Have I mentioned Quasar 9’s blog? He’s got a post up at the mo about magic circles concentrating energy and some pretty pics from outer space. Apparently stars have a heartbeat! Don’t think that’s gonna help a dead fairy but there you go.

  412. Oh my god there is a real fairy in that picture? :O i will pray for that fairy and wish i can see the fairys i wish i can see them i believe in them i sereiosly do!!! please tell me how to see a fairy! please i want to see them :'( :'( :'(

  413. If some one is making a joke about a real fairy! THEN STOP!!!! i want some one to stop that pranks i wanted to see them and i wanted to fine somthing from a fairy! we dont want pranks anymore i want to see a real fairy please i want to see it!!!

  414. OH MY GOD SOME POEPLE DONT EVEN CARE ABOUT FAIRYS AND THEY DONT BELIEVE IF YOU DONT BELIEVE THEN DONT MAKE PRANKS LIKE A SKELETON OF THE FAIRY AND I WISH THAT WOULDENT HAPPEN IN APRIL FOOLS I JUST WISH ALL I WANTED IS TO SEE A FAIRY AND FOUND A DISCOVERY ABOUT THE FAIRY WHAT HAPPENS SOME ONE FOUND THE FAKE FAIRY AND THEY BROUGHT IT TO DESCOVERY CHANNAL AND NOW THEY FOUND OUT IT WAS FAKE THEN A MEN OR A WOMEN THEY WILL CRY! CRY! CRY! SOME ONE WAS TRYING TO FINE A FAIRY FOR YEARS I DONTK NOW WHO BUT SOME ONE MIGHT DO IT FOR YEARS NOW AND I FEEL VERRY SAD RIGHT NOW SO STOP RIGHT NOW SO YOU WILL FINELY KNOW IT WAS REAL! GOT IT!?

  420. This is true, but as Fairies live in a monarchy, they rely on the King to provide housing, which he does in the form of barrows, etc. Low-rent, low-rise, these are not part of the Fairy dwelling experience.

  422. Not at all; as you can see in the renowned Flower Fairy books, many fairies have somewhat leafy- or blossomy-looking wings. It’s the most natural thing in the world.

  423. okay so here it goes.fairies are like angels rite? if so i beleive. yet the picture is alittle skechy.i can’ say it’s fake nor real.the body looks real……but the wings don’t look real. anything is possible.well…..almost everything

  426. IM GOING TO SEARCH ONE FAIRY IS REAL! I HATE FAKE FAIRY FOR PRANKS THATS NOT FARE!!!! IM GOING TO SEARCH ONE ONES AND FOR ALL!!!!! IM NOT GOING TO GIVE UP I WANT TO SEE A FAIRY SO MUCH AND IM GOING TO FINED IT AND IM GOING TO TELL THE DESCOVERY CHANNAL!!!!!!!!

  430. if fairies dnt exist (which they do!!!!) then why years ago before camera trickery did those two little girls get pics of those fairies? and yes they admitted some of them were fake but thy also said that some were real and photography analysists studied those photographs and said the wings in them were moving how did two little girls who had never picked up a camera before manage to do that? also people believe in god so what so wrong bout believing in fairies, unicorns and such like? i dont believe in god but i dont go critcising everyone, i dont get everyones big problem. FAIRIES EXIST GET OVER IT!

  439. Oh good grief, Liberace was a fairy??

    No I can’t believe that, fairies have some taste and use magic and pixie dust rather than plastic surgery and rhinestones.

    I think all the flesh they cut off Liberace was made into Bobby Crush but away from the host it withered and died.

    See? Nobody clapped :-(

  440. i was clapping to keep all the fairies alive that a lot of u are killing by saying you don’t believe in them when given all the evidence they so obviously do
    still clapping!!
    and anyone that doesn’t believe in them is either too old to be with it anymore or a complete and utter reject that has nothing better to do with their time than sit and play computer games day in day out.

  441. I agree Pixie dust, you keep clapping!

    er.. what happens if you’re an utter reject and too old to be with it but you still believe in fairies? Get sectioned, drugged and put in a home I guess.

  443. a complete and utter reject that has nothing better to do with their time than sit and play computer games day in day out

    What have computer games got to do with anything?!

  445. UP THERE IS MY AUNTS EMAIL.ANYWAY….I CANT BELIVE MY EYES.IHAVE ALWAYS WONDERED IF FAIRIES WERE REAL.AND IF THEY ARE ALWAYS ALIVE HOW WILL THEY SERVIVE IN WINTER?I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE A FAIRY SINCE I WAS SIX I AM 10 KNOW AND IN FORTH GRADE,DIRTY BLONDE HAIR,CHEEK BONES,GREEN EYES,4FT9,AND IWEIGH 90.

    I NEED TO SEE A REAL LIVE FAIRIEY.1/15/O8

  450. PIXIE DUST GET IN YOUR HEAD ITS A FAKE AND I DO HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THEN SIT ALL DAY UNLIKE YOU GET REAL ITS A FREEKING FAKE FAIRIES ARE FAKE IF I SEE ONE FLYING AROUND THEN I AGREE UNTILL THEN ITS A FAKE, THEN AGIN I MIGHT JUST HIT IT WITH MY SHOE.

    SECOND BLAST OF THE TRUMPET AGAINST THE MONSTROUS REGIMENT OF WOMEN

    When the Electoral Commission has finished exonerating that terriblY nice Youthful Peter Hain, perhaps the Commission will have leisure & resources to investigate this Mummified Fairy and give her a Clean Bill of Health, as well

    Colonials/exColonials will struggle to understand or even care at all about the Kindly exRugby disrupter, who has now achieved true meaning in Life & Respectability by becoming a Minister of the Crown

    The tragedy is less that on this occasion young Cephas has quite unCharacteristically shewn a certain “je ne sais quoi” in returning his Election Expenses, while focusing on making the UK Work & Pensions Dept the envy of those US Citizens unable to afford Health Care insurance

    After all, the UK Cabinet is full of curiously-insightful Ladies (eg Mrs Derek Gadd, Mrs David Hill etc etc) on the basis of their Membership of the Monstrous Regiment of Women

    * A Gentle-Eagle of course does not comment on Ladies’ looks or brains or how this qualifies them for high Political Office

    Pete’s real sadness is that (as observed at the heroic Mr Guido Fawkes’s place) Pete spent £100,000 (or was it US$400,000 +) but he could only achieve 5th Place in the Election of Labour Deputy-Fuehrer, behind the Winner Mrs Jack Dromey

    I flatter myself that I agree on so many things with the Lady ApilihP (while understanding neither the incisive Lady OttelitS nor that distinguished Equine Mr KStafford), but Pete indeed has alternatives to “Get[ting] sectioned, drugged and put in a home”, if (contrary to expectation) Mr Brown shews enough decisiveness to teach Pete that Political Life can be “solitary brutish nasty and short”

    Pete could study for an Open University degree in Fairies … or the UK could appoint to join Mr Mendelsohn as a European Commissioner

  468. I love how the “JOSH” banter ceased after you outed him publicly. Buy why, I must ask? Surely he could’ve debated further whether he fornicates with canines? I mean….at least for our amusement, right?

    As for the fairy…The first photo must be the famed “mid-masturbation” shot I’ve heard so much about. :)

    In the second pic it looks like they are about to roll him into, well you know. Dude, there’s even stems and seeds on the paper behind him!

  474. Ok, no offence to anyone who thinks it’s real but… if it was really a mummified faery, why has it still got {pretty clean looking for a faery thats been mummified} hair?
    I’m really not trying to ruin anyones ideas on faery existance or anything but it sorta confuses me… Blessed Be! x

  475. Salena,

    You are obviously painfully unaware of the advancements in fairy hair products over the last decade. They’ve got some wonderfully balancing shampoos and some conditioners that are to die for. We are, after all, talking about a “fairy.” Should we not expect it’s hair to be perfectly groomed? You don’t know many fairies, do you? You should probably get out more.

  476. We believe in fairies its said that every time a child says i dont believe in fairies a fairy somewhere drops down dead they are just little helpers of the earth

  477. well said, JTK – people like Salena should be ashamed of themselves. They have fairy blood on their hands thanks to their repeated denials.

    How many fairies must die, Salena? How many??

  478. 476

    Gut gesagt, MeinPferd – Wieviel, doch, Wieviel
    [well said, mine Equine, how many indeed]

    We all know why the Britisch economy is in a mess – all these Monstrous Women like Mrs Jack Dromey & Mrs Derek Gadd running the Government & criminalising Catholic Adoption Agencies – and not voting for that nice Cephas Hain as Deputy Leader of the Party

    Now that they’re all losing their Jobs at Northern Rock, it’s not wonder that so many Fairies have fled to Canada and taken to drinking Monsieur Metro’s ethylene-glycol-based-antifreeze

    Das ist es, doch
    Es macht man denken, nee
    [This is it, init,
    It makes yer fink, dunnit]

  479. wait this explains it! lot of poeple dont believe in them so all the fairys die some poeple or lot of poeple do believe they can see 1 fairy this explains it of course!! :O

  480. Stumbled over a Canadian group who were obviously fairy motivated.

    Yup, we miss you dudes.

    Herr Eagle – I don’t know how you could think there might be fairy related individuals in the cabinet – perish the thought!

  485. The Faerie kingdom is alive and well, if people can believe in miracles, why can’t I believe in Faeries?
    Keep the Faery Dream Alive.

    Woo, Australia.

  486. Aren’t the “godless heathens” the people that normally wouldn’t be so skeptical of something like this. It seems to me that a devout religious person would be the more likely party to question the validity of this “fairy”, mainly because we know of these creatures from FAIRY TALES, not religious texts.

  487. Ah but the very religious know that their truth is the only truth.

    And if you’re a Muslim they definately don’t believe in fairies! I think they have another name for them.

  489. so i dont really care what that dude who “made” the dead fairy carcass says, even if its real or not, fairies are DEFINATLY real! They are either real in my imagination or really real in this world! I have yet to see one but who cares! I’m going to have fun believing and if they are real then thats one less dead one because i believe, i always have and i always will! I sat here and read ALL of these comments, and i like the theory that they could be some form of angels…who knows…but when people says God didn’t mention them in the Bible, you are right, but did he mention every type of crazy aquatic creature either? I don’t recall, and even though we are the only ones who were made in his image fairies are not in any way human like! =] so thank you, they are real =]

    <3 Cally

  497. Good grief no! I would never sleep with a muslim, you have to marry the bastards first – I’ve only ever slept with bastards I could get rid of.

    (for those who think that a racist remark let me assure you that in my experience all men are bastards, regardless of their ethnicity or religious practice)

    Never slept with a fairy though..

    ..at least I don’t think I have.

  498. @Philipa – so you are quite comfortable making blatantly sexist comments? Yet you are defensive about making blatantly racist comments. When are you going to begin making blatantly specieist comments and start putting down Fairies?

    Fairy-hater! You are oppressing our dreams!

    Oh goody – this can now move in a new direction!

  499. I think this shitts bad ass dude I would if faeries were real as long as they werent hurt & they werent skankishly dressed lol…probably impossible…I WANNA BE A FAERIE!!.or be a draenei from world of warcraft

  501. ArchieArchive – you are correct; I have no conscience making sexist remarks, indeed I consider it a sport. In fact I guess many men would agree with me – with regard to the opposite sex let us sport while we may.

    Gin helps.

    Apparently the fairies keep drinking the gin :-/

    Sushi – what language are you communicating in, pray?
    I speak Eagle. Save the panda.
    (never eaten Panda)

  502. It’s not racist: it’s religiousist!
    Sushi/Chelsea, you can’t be a fairy until you pick ONE name.
    Philipa, pandas are buddhist. Would you eat a buddhist on a first date?

    DING! 500!!!!!

  503. @Philipa, I also enjoy making sexist comments but I’m not really sexist, I just like to poke fun at lesser mortals – – –

    @His Greyness, the flighty one, How will the hoses stop the Tory promoted globular warning?

    @Rain, Pandas are delicious in a white wine sauce.

    Gin is but a fading memory. Along with Port and Chardonny. Living in a dry community can be HELL!

    (Let’s aim at 600)

  504. Raincoaster – I wouldn’t eat anyone on a first date, nor the second. Ok I might have a nibble on the second.

    Hee hee, Archie – you like to poke lesser mortals?

  505. raincoaster Dec 20 at 6:06 am “… with all porridge-related medical conditions, it’s best to give them 48 hours to solve themselves before bringing in the hoses”

    Bonjour, Herr AerChie

    I dinnae ken how HOSES will save the Planet – but her Grace has revealed their efficacy for (among other illnesses) Persistent EdgirroP-itis

    C’est tout tragique for such a young man to have run out of White Port – no wonder the Colonies are succumbing to Labour … peut-etre that puir wee Faerie succumbed to a stroke induced by high blood-pressure upon witnessing the last-surviving White Port flagon passing from left to right

    Alles Gute

    G Eagle

    Oh, BTW, in your Place, everyone will enjoy your Shark-Embracing non-Buddhist Oktopus …. but Is it wise or prudent to poke the Lady ApilihP – she may turn her last Tree-Oktopus on you …. unless of course she’s already fed it to some random Buddhist ….

  509. @Philipa, most of those lesser mortals I poke tend to laugh – so I guess they find it funny – umm – is that what I meant to say? btw, I am not a random Buddhist – I am just random

  515. Well of course they are Patrick.

    Archie keeps poking me to see if I’m done but that’ll never happen if he doesn’t turn me over!

    Haggis, banned?? Yes that is an offal shame.

  523. Um… how kids are made?

    Sorry Raincoaster, obviously the fairies bring them *hangs head in shame*

    Pan-sexual eh Archie? How are the lost boys??

  524. That’s so funny, because when I was little my parents always thought fairies were trying to take us away. We live in a more enlightened time now, obviously.

  525. @Philipa, those boys are totally lost! The “Pan” part of the description is quite correct – Nymph chaser by nature, cloven-footed Capricornian by birth – – –

    Have some Madeira, M’Dear

    @Rain, Many an old wive’s tale contains unexpected truth!

  530. Sucks to be you, bethany. I dare you to challenge the existence of fairies after seeing this definitive proof. This will blow your mind.

    What say you? Shall you continue to deny in the face of prof?!?!?!?!?!

    (oh gawd, rain….this is soooo much fun!)

  532. Ah, yes. PeterPan. His site had three point five million hits the last time I saw it, and he had just proposed to his “Tink.” At first I laughed at him, but after some reading I’ve actually developed a real respect for the guy. He just loves being this persona, and he means all that pixie peace stuff just the way Oprah means her spiel. He’s a sweet, crazy guy and I admire him for being so public and for accepting that award in the way that he did (google it; I’m too lazy to find the link). Respect.

  533. Well maybe, but I’m afraid I couldn’t last out the full vid experience – only in America.

    I’m a cynical Brit, what can I say? We have people here who live the Elvis experience – knock yourself out (as long as I don’t have to join in).

  534. Cynical Brits abound – wait, that makes you sound like a Kangaroo – – – (Kangaroo Tail is quite popular with the locals out here in the desert)

    Yes, Rain, I am going to my room!

  536. Whenever anyone mentions a kangaroo I remember a little ditty taught to me by a reprobate some time ago that starts.. Tie me kangaroo down sport, tie me kangaroo down (shag a wallaby).. and it goes on.

    I’ll spare you the rest, the fairies have probably been at the gin and you’ll only get grumpy, Raincoaster.

    BTW, how is Snow White, still in rehab?

  539. He’s not British; he’s Galliffreyan, duh. I well remember his conversation with The Brigadier in which the B said, “It’ll have to be one of us, you know, we can’t trust the rest,” and the Doctor paused a moment, smiled craftily and said, “Well, naturally not. The rest are all foreigners!” to which the Brigadier nodded before he caught himself.

  544. “Well slap my bottom and call me baby”

    I was going to until I realised the children were not in bed. Rain is already annoyed at me for corrupting the miners – well, actually they were already corrupt but no one talks about it.

    THE 2ND BLAST OF THE TRUMPET AGST THE MONSTROUS REGIMENT OF WOMEN THATCHERS

    Ich weiss nicht,was soll es bedeuten,
    das ich so traurig bin

    I don’t understand what the talented Anti-Soviet Deviationist Aerchie-Dude is saying

    ABER (err … but …)

    Methinks he doth protest too much

    There is NO RAIN in the Western Anti=Podes, wherein resides such an incisive & entertaining Promoter of Human=Menacing Pseudo-Animals (Drop-Bears, Desert-Sharks, Tree OktoPodia & the Wild Antipodean Rudd-Creature etc)

    ERGO the holes in his roof cannot pScientifically afford the explanation of the Wet Spots on his Floor

    … nor can it be spilling White Port over the Cigars after the retirement of the Ladies – ALL the White Port in his Desert has apparently been consumed in a (SCHOCKINGLY) anit-Clockwise direction

    WHENCE, as a more felicitous alternative to Mummification, so many UK Fairies have selected Metro-Land as a Target to emigrate to, instead of Van Diemen’s Land

    Yr Grace’s obedt servant etc

    G E

    PS No Kangaroos were hurt or injured in the making of this Post – can the AerChie=Dude give us a similar assurance over his comments

  553. Perhaps those pussy-eating dragons have bitten off more than they can chew? And a large, invisible, and very, very satisfied Persian cat rests atop Archie’s house?

  554. Errrr … your Grace – it’s CHESHIRE cats who become invisible

    …. but I rather apprehend that Pussy-Munching Dragons predate away from the Western Desert to avoid the witty taunts of the egregious Archie-dude [Homo Sapientissimus AerchiDudius Ferox et Lepidus]….

    …. has anyone warned them about the perils of sampling M Metro’s ethylene-glycol-based-antifreeze saucer-offerings

  555. Er.. Hang on, Archie has a Pussy-Munching Dragon or Achie is a Pussy-Munching Dragon?

    I’m so sorry, I’m confused Mr Eagle, Sir.

    and who’s the homo-sissy fox?
    I thought raincoaster was a fox..
    and the fairy was dead (or if you’re in Alabama, deyad)
    and archie was downunder…. !

  559. Archie is being haunted by a gigantic Cheshire/Persian cross?

    That explains so much.

    I’m not a fox. But I’m not a chick either.

    Philipa: who did Archie go downunder on?

  560. Tch! Tch! One does not go down under on. One simply goes down under. And I never name names – except to ET – – –

    I am terrified of cross Cheshire Persians. So is my inner dragon.

  562. Jawohl

    WARUM ist das Dach [roof] des AerChies NASS [vet] – in a DESERT

    und HOW MUCH is it his Inner-Dragon causing Global Warming in the AntiPodes, with the consequent flight of Fairies to the COOLER Environs of MetroLandia, with its high-class cooking even if gin & high-class beer supplies are being consumed

  563. I cannot tell – the children are not yet in bed, the fairies are listening and they tattle to Father Christmas so I wouldn’t get ant pressies – not a single gift-wrapped pussie, siamese, persian or even manx (although they do not have a tail).

    Now, have I changed the subject sufficiently?

  564. @the nonumlauted MeinHerren GrEagLe, It is true my roof is quite dry for this is a desert. Yet the assumption that it was my roof which is wet was incorrect – the wet spots are lower! Possibly due to the excessive consumption of gin (and in its absence, absinthe). Why, last even I noticed the Port, of a sufficiently Ruby hue, being passed to the starboard. I was forced to leave the room in shock! That such ungentlemanly conduct could be tolerated in these climes where every touch of the true civilisation must be kept and celebrated. I fear there could be a stray Metrolandian masquerading as a gentleman.

  565. Sorry Raincoaster – in that piccy of you in a bedsheet I was sure I detected a bushy tail, my mistake.

    Ah Absinthe – I hhave pahssed ohhhceans hov tihme to see youh; my favourite bad movie.

    Archie you’ve changed the subject… back to your wet spots!? Modesty forbids me to comment further on this subject.

  566. Ahh Philipa, I do apologise for accidentally including you in the discussion of wet spots. May I say categorically to the assembled multitudes that we are just good friends!

    There, that should clear your name and restore your reputation – – –

  567. Archie: you get ant pressies? Are you an ant?

    If they never pass the port to starboard, remind me never to book a starboard cabin. It would be such a pain, having to go to the bar for it!

  570. Look, I’m sorry but it’s been at least ooh 20 minutes and there has been no…. well.

    I don’t know why I shouldn’t be included in a thread concerning DIY (I live alone) or wet spots (I didn’t always live alone yet have now steeled myself to the reality of DIY and have purchased tools), however, i don’t thatch,

    but would quite like to be a fairy..

    having done the dragon thing.

  571. “It’s been at least twenty minutes – ”

    I’m sorry I rolled over and went to sleep. I was quite exhausted. From so much thatching.

    Fairies are nice enough but for genuine excitement you can’t beat a dragon!

  573. Actually, Aerchie, anyone who chooses to beat a dragon will find the brief remainder of their life filled with a great degree of excitement.

    Beating fairies can, so Raincoaster assures me, be fun, but is apparently less interesting.

    Oh, and “thatch” is a rather crude metaphor, no? Why not simply go with the rolling granduer of “toupée”?

  578. I like to beat my dragon several times a week. I usually end up with that same “final expression of Tutankhamen” look on my face that you see in the first fairy picture.

  579. Mein Pferd Stafford

    It restores our faith in Equinity that it is a distinguished & witty Cavallo that keeps alive this thread, unlike the Fairy who maintenant is si tragiquement “late”

    But perhaps beating dragons was nae the raison for the Prince’s unhappy death-grimace

    … there may be une autre explanation pour le mort del Prince Tooting-Common – it may have been the prospekt of oor Hilary moving in to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

    … but peut etre it was the terror induced by completing a US Internal Revenue Service Tax Return

    It makes yer fink, dunnit

    GE

  581. I agree that King Tut would prefer Obama, if only to have a relative on the throne again.

    #’s, I can state for the record that neither the fairy’s, nor G. Eagle’s heads are plastic.

  582. While the Eagle may not have a plastic head, I feel sure that, as an espouser of Republican causes and a denouncer of the abilities of the distaff side, his head my not be filled with much at all. He allows his natural raptorness to take over when discussing the defenceless. Rather than dropping bombs, it may be necessary to export some Desert Sharks to Slough. Providing the Mars factory is protected.

  589. Well hey Americans have been trying to decipher the English language ‘for a long time’ and they haven’t managed it yet.

    Archie – there is no plastic in my head thankyou, I decided against that operation; sorry to disappoint – do you prefer women plastically enhanced? Raincoaster is right; I’d really rather discuss politics just now. Given my aversion to plastic and the current Tory leader :-/

    ..he’s no angel but he’s no fairy either.

  591. Weird….just saw Stiletto’s commment. I basically said the same thing in the forums yesterday. Yes people, fairies exist in more places than you imagine.

    Philipa, was that a rhetorical question? :)

  592. He’s no angel, he’s no fairy, but he IS a Ken doll. I bet he stole those kids from Britney’s family; they drop them like dingleberries in the Spears clan, they’d never miss a couple more. And apparently Britney’s got an English accent… hmm, where’d she pick THAT up?

  593. Not a rhetorical question no, if felicia is dead and able to blog then I’ve a few questions..

    maybe the first one would be to Raincoaster as she’s the tech expert – how would you ping a dead person?

    Raincoaster – I should have said: ‘Raincoaster is right; I’d really rather NOT discuss politics just now’; with the exception of the fabulous Bozmeister I don’t think much of the rest and the Daily Bellylaugh just isn’t funny any more, I wouldn’t use it to wrap my chips.

    Fairies are everywhere? So that is where all the socks go, one of every colour and pattern, just one.

  594. How do you ping a dead person? Easy: use the black Pingoat of the woods with a thousand young.

    Vicus has been having some fun with Boris over on his blog lately. Lovely pictures.

    Socks, of course, go through the wormhole generated by the vortex of heat and energy in the dryer. I thought everyone knew that.

  597. The Ha! the Lady ApilihP says. Well, this is certainly unusual to say the least. I think you might be on to something here. So, I say Ha!

    119 x 5 …. Ha !!

    and BTW – where do Fairies get their MacKintoshes from

  598. Alas, puir wee EglAE, I knew him well.

    Are you in pain, old friend?
    For schurely only an illness of most grievous nature could cause such a vandalism of the Queen’s English.

    A preposition is nothing to end a sentence with.

  602. And yet, somehow we’re capable of turning on/off the “caps lock” feature on our keyboards. It’s a fine line between ability and disability indeed.

    And for the record, how much is “too much” crack? Is there an okay amount? Can you get some for me? What about for the fairies? They threatened me with harm if I could not produce more crack.

  604. I wonder what my contribution has been? I’m just glad that someone is championing the cause that fairies existed, or existed. I’m ashamed that none of our political candidates have expressed their views on this matter.

    I challenge anyone for proof that fairies do not exist.

    (Mwwaahhahahahahahaha)

  606. kstaff, you had comment #600! Also about twenty-five others. An excellent showing for a latecomer to the thread!

    I think that Mormon has definitely stated that fairies exist, and they should be illegal.

  607. I think they are most definately illegal in the UK or they would have been taxed by now. Or maybe they have been made legal under this government – they brought in lots of airy-fairy laws.

    I find that the secret of getting more crack and indeed more faries is to expose a big Bottom.

  608. Oh, Philipa, you should HEAR the British Fairies I know complain about their taxes! “And all going to those fucking schools! Damn Breeders!”

    I think you are right about attracting more crack. Or you could just hire plumbers.

  609. I believe, upon reading, that faeries are actually attracted when the Bottom is actually concealed, rather than displaying large quantities of crack.

    In some cases it seems to be acceptable if said Bottom is disguised as an ass.

    However, I have also discovered why the faeries have abandoned the Albion Isles in favour of the Great White North: A sufficiency of fairies is often associated with the presence of a Puck.

    Which explains so much about Junior A coaches.

  610. Ah, you see! If you wrestle with a problem long enough all is revealed! The connection between Junior A hockey and the de-Fairification of Albion. Wordsworth would definitely whip up an ode over that!

  611. Nothing wrong with a good Puck.

    Or if you’re a fairy there’s nothing more attractive than a nice ass.

    So I’m told.

    Metro?

    Raincoaster I think he already did as Fairies are not a new thing:

    Fairy Land! Thee all men greet with joy; how few,
    Whose souls take pride in freedom, virtue, fame,
    Part from thee without pity dyed in shame:

    But he may have been writing about Italy..(?)

  613. @Pippa:
    Of course I’m not a fairy. I’m a Metro-sexual. Also, not being a member of the Harperite party, I am not fossilized.

    Though a nice Bottom always has my admiration; It’s always fun to play with a talented one … So I always consider that an asset. Or is that a miniature donkey? I forget.

    However, as a thespian (yes, it’s true, I admit it!), I’m always up for a good Puck.

  614. Philipa: no WAY did Metro write that! Don’t let him tell you otherwise.

    Layla, keep the faith. Belief in the self is the foundation of action.

    Metro is usually up for just about anything in my experience. It’s one of his best qualities.

  618. I have no idea, but someone called Peter (who refuses to grow up) seems to like them..

    Metro I was always of the opinion you were a Metro-sexual and simply assumed you knew about these things, which obviously you do. I too like a nice Bottom and have enjoyed a good Puck in my time :-) Unlike you though I’m always in receipt and not the giver – ah you theatre folk!

    Layla – you believe, therefore you are.. and have to defacate. (Hey, defacation happens!) I too believe in fairies. I don’t believe in Archie though – he’s just a happy thought.

  620. JUST a happy thought? Do you realise, young Lady P, just how much hard, grinding work there is in being happy? Fairies won’t talk to me, I’m becoming a world champion curmudgeon and Thor is aiming at me! Not that I have any sympathy for Rain. I have been drinkless since last year! Late last year, admittedly, and the drought breaks tomorrow night!

    Metro deserves wings – that way he can be a flying Puck – – –

  622. Archie I’m sure you’re most accomplished at hard grinding and I’ve heard tell that sort of thing becomes more difficult as you get older so perhaps you should have a little rest and a drink, for medicinal purposes. I hope you have a relaxing flaccid drink-sodden tommorow night x

    Raincoaster, once again you expose my naivite – I know bugger all about theatre folk.

  624. Be fair – this is about fairies, probably wearing Fairisle pullovers, fairly new ones, so a little fair play would be fairly well in order. Planning for the fairies fairisle fair is fairly well under way.

    I need a drink!

  625. Cripes! I wish you’d taken the words out of Archies mouth – is he quite well do you think?

    Taken up knitting maybe..

    I can see that knitting can be relaxing but I’d still rather have a good Puck with a nice Bottom thrown in for good measure. A good measure is important – hope you get one Archie x

  628. “Good,” Philipa–“Is he quite good, do you think?” Or are you asking something else?

    I could also use a drink. This is by way of being a ground state for me. Everyone was born with a certain amount of natural alcohol in their bodies. I just happened to be born two drinks short and have been trying to catch up ever since.

    Unfortunately, after a Raincoaster visit it takes quite a while to rebuild the supply chain.

    As for good measures, well the women hereabouts say sex is like snow. To a certain extent, I share this view. In that while it’s happening, I never see any fairies about.

  630. Well Metro, I believe Archie is accomplished at hard grinding but of course I have no knowledge of the state of his tools for that activity. I think he should take a good measure, certainly, he seems to be in want of one and I know just how he feels as I indulged in a glass myself this evening, for community.

    As for good measures, well the women hereabouts say sex is like snow.

    I agree, it never occurs in my neck of the woods! If I remember that far back it was just like snow – something you’ve often dreamed of but the reality is a disappointing wet mess. How do Fairies make little fairies I wonder? Raincoaster will know…

  633. While measures are needed, I prefer taming the shrew – I once did the lighting for an amateur production of Kiss Me Kate which was Broadway’s version of the play. Wonderful fun even without a Bottom.

  639. Aparently chocolate mimics the effect of dopamine in the brain, I think – kinda simulates being in love, and is an aphrodisiac apparently.

    Dunno about all that – it tastes yummy!
    Unlike..

    anyway, back to fairies..

  643. Damn straight! Is it the Tories that are behind it? Oh my god! Thank god Boris has slimmed down; he’s obviously eating fewer fairies than he used to. I’ve always heard Tories had a fondness for fairies…

  645. Oh, they all went to boarding school. You know it’s true what they say.

    Check out Guido’s blog for “Top Tory Totty” of the male and female variety. I’d venture to say that if the Tories were more equal-opportunity in the distribution of wealth they’d have had much more attractive men there. Some of those women are professionally “companionable” if you know what I mean.

  648. Yes but I’m not comfortable with the belief that Boris has eaten any fairies.

    I know, I’m English and conservative, pass the macaroons.

  649. I, also, am skeptical of tales of Boris’ fairy-eating past. What is certain beyond the shadow of a doubt is that since declaring his candidacy for Mayor of London he has lost some weight, perhaps through a change of diet, and he has not been caught in embarrassing proximity to any researchers, fairy or not. There’s a long way to go till the election, though.

  650. I will always wish Boris well but I hate the thought of him not being an MP and in the house of commons – he should be there IMHO.

  651. The Mayoralty of London is but a brief interlude on his unstoppable rise to the top, I am sure. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him standing for EU president, his previous statements (including the book he signed for me) notwithstanding. One day he’ll be in Westminster again, opening Parliament with a crown on his head.

  652. Her Grace La Marchionesse de W etc

    Your Grace

    Quelle Night=Mare

    The Middle-East Peacemaker ANTONIO becomes Il Presidente dell’Europa (Viele Volker, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer, Kein UmLaut) on his triumphant path to Wealth und the repayment of his mega-Mortgage – assisted by Cruella’s modest fees for giving Charity after-dinner speeches in the AntiPodes und elsewhere

    BUT to the admiring amazement of his Grandad (last Ottoman-Sultan’s Foreign Minister), one can hope for der Boz-Meister becoming Londinium’s Mayor, in place of Red Ken, on his way to becoming El Presidente dell’E…

    BUT where will Ken go – does he have an alternative to replacing ANTONIO as The Middle-East Peacemaker

    No wonder Derbyshire Fairies have either given up the Struggle for Life or emigrated to MetroLandia, notwithstanding the Local Fairy-Predators and the perils of drinking from M. Metro’s Garden-Saucers

    Your Grace’s obedient servant etc

    G Eagle [5x13x2x5]

  654. DUde its obviously fake look at the wings their Leaves for gods sake. At least try harder… By the way he used doll hair the hair has no dna. However the bones may be made of pigeon or chicken bones. Or maybe wood.

  655. How do you know the hair has no DNA? Where is your proof? One cannot make scientific postulates without backup evidence. Speculation is amateurish and unseemly.

    G Eagle: [5×13×2×5]? I’m a blogger, dammit, not a theoretical mathematician!

  656. Good FSM! Bob could be right!

    Amazing that the insight of a mere (as I picture him) beardless stripling, somehow crippled or deformed in a way that makes manipulation of the caps lock key and basic spelling a laborious chore, could somehow seize upon a detail that has for six hundred previous comments completely eluded older and sometimes wiser heads.

  657. Herr EaGle (Unumluated), “[5×13×2×5]” Would these be your co-ordinates in the Space Time continuum? By my calculations you should be able to see the vale of fairies from there. From Quentin Crisp (BBQ flavour) all the way to Oscar Willed.

  664. Gross. Honestly the things a man will resort to when in the desert; if it’s not ‘forbidden love’ with animals it’s getting your mouth around a fairy.

    What’s being ‘snorted up’?

    No, don’t tell me, probably something revolting concerning mummified remains.

    And all for the want of a real woman..

  668. A big-burly Australian? You mean like Mark “Jacko” Jackson?

    Remember him from the Energizer commercials?

    “The new energizah, it’s gonna surprise yah…Oi!!!”

  669. No, I meant Archie. I think he’d be Quentin’s type, don’t you?

    I prefer the young Steve Irwin, of course. Solid steel body and a distaste for clothing Those two traits go very, very well together.

  674. “pommy halfwits”? I don’t think any accent is going to overcome that prejudice!

    Nope, I’m with you on this one Raincoaster: “I prefer the young Steve Irwin, of course. Solid steel body and a distaste for clothing Those two traits go very, very well together” – shame he’s gone :-(

  675. …err …

    [shifting awkwardly from one taloned foot to the next … and back]

    …. Perhaps your Grace means :

    “AustrAAAlian”

  677. I think that God created everything for a reason, and maybe some poeple don’t beleive faries exist, but who are poeple to say what can exist, we only have one creater and his name is GOD, I strongly believe he created creatures we have not yet discover or found. I LOVE YOU ALEX

  682. @ Philipa; not all Pommies are halfwits – some of them are wonderfully talented. Oscar Wilde, Noel Coward, Queen Victoria, Philipa, Keir Hardie and Gracie Fields. JK Rowlings almost makes it to the list while CS LEWIS and JRR Tolkien are definitely on it. As is Dawn French. A pity about Maggie the roof repairer.

  684. Glad you’re home safe and well Archie, well done fairies, and yes, I agree with you, it’s such a shame Maggie the roof repairer is now too old to hold office – she’s just what this country needs right now :-)

    Happy pointless ceremonial day y’all x

  689. @Archie – I’ve yet to find a man that can stay the distance! (or stay in the room – please no-one tell me I’m scary again as I have no idea what ‘neebling means’ and you won’t tell me)

    Well of course he was tried under English law – he was living in England at the time and taking a Lords son up the west-end farce, which was not only asking for trouble but against the law. Doh!

    And I too am a Barbarian, I am NOT a Roman – Romani ite domum!! Bloody I-ties.

  690. yes, the English were like the Americans, always putting their own laws where they’re not welcome.

    Boris is a Roman,though, Philipa. I hear he goes Roman every night.

  693. Raincoaster:

    yes, the English were like the Americans, always putting their own laws where they’re not welcome.

    um… you mean like their own country?? Hmn, terrible. And like the Americans??? I reject that comparison completely! The Americans would have been better off with us in charge but they would have the French..

    If Boris in anything foreign Raincoaster, he’s a Turk.

    And WTF does ‘neebling’ mean? You enjoy the torture, I can tell – may fairies raid your liquor cabinet.

    @Archie, Age. Fac ut gaudeam.

  696. Faries come all the way from Mars, and Venus? That’s a long damn way! Through vacuum, yet.

    Hmmm. Maybe that explains all that “cosmic dust” stuff the scientists are always rabbiting on about.

    Perhaps the fairy above was exhausted? Maybe it isn’t so much mummified as fried by the heat of entry.

  697. I’m relatively sure England’s laws were unwelcome up the rectums of the greatest writers of the Victorian Age, every last of them.

    I haven’t heard of Boris being in anything foreign: he prefers them home-grown.

    Metro: so every time someone disbelieves in fairies, one falls to Earth as a meteorite, burning up as it falls? What a metaphor!

  698. Isn’t it though? That’s why I get paid to write workplace safety crap I’m increasingly convinced no-one bothers to read.

    Tell you what, you can use it free of charge. Though I retain copyright under fair use.

  700. I like the “fried at the heat of entry” hypothesis. Perhaps we can combine that theory along with one of the theories of how water became so prevalent on Earth. The “ice comet” theory.

    We’ll twist it around and make it an “ice fairy” hypothesis. Clearly biblical creatures travelling through space time were bombarding the surface of the planet. The ice debris they “cooked off” or left behind gave rise to our oceans and saturated our atmosphere with water vapor.

    In due time a giant monolith appeared and taught man to crush skulls with bones. Years later Genesis would pay homage to this awakening by featuring the Kroft puppets in the video for “Land of Confusion.”

    The rest, as they say, is history.

    Good lord I’m random today! :)

    By the way, has anyone thought of doing a “mummified lolfairy” picture?

  701. Not as far as I know. Hint. Hint.

    So, spaceships are made of snowballs? Honest to god, there’s a story about some would-be terrorists who trained in Canada and who were thinking about putting explosives inside of snowballs. I suppose they figured they’d need a getaway dogsled, too.

  713. Some were puppets – I noticed the roof repairer made a live appearance – beer does wonders to the eyesight – I wonder if fairies drink beer. I hope they have better hangover cures that I do.

  717. Jawohl

    Das ist es, doch
    [This is it, i’n’it]

    The Ha! you say. Well, this is certainly unusual to say the least. I think you might be on to something here. So, I say Ha!

  718. @Aerchie:
    The thing about the toadstools it that you’re not supposed to nibble them yourself before offering them around …

    Among other things, it’ll cut down on the number of fairies you have to share your beer with. Or you could just keep a swatter handy.

  723. I mean, the US government is talking about shooting down some soi-disant “spy satellite” orbiting above us, but we know what’s really up there.

    Thwarted in his ambition to organize a Glorious Democratic War in Iran as he did in Iraq, George the Lesser is striking at the heart of Queen Mab’s territory.

  725. Yeah, as if the George Dubya Bush presidential library would be too big to be picked up and moved to another location.

    Place’d be about the size of a phone booth and would contain nothing but Archie comics and books with chewable cardboard covers. Oh, and a few Sears catalogues with suspiciously worn lingerie sections.

    Of course they’d need to keep the collection small, to allow room for the toilet and sink.

  726. Good heavens, Metro. What does that have to do with fairies? Are you implying something? And on President’s Day, too.

    What did the President have on sale from President’s Choice today?

  730. Of course that should have read clap, someone, quick – I wasn’t suggesting… well, anyway.

    I do believe in fairies,
    I do I do I do believe in fairies,
    I do ;;-)

  732. Philipa, Archie does NOT have the clap. Shame on you.

    “I saw these sea spiders and thought of you” awwwww. Words to warm the frosty cockles of my heart. I hadn’t seen the video, but I did read the article. Thanks!

  733. I meant it in a nice way :-) and as for Archie, well I have had this rash since…

    well anyway, he’s back home and I’m turning to fairies again :-(

  740. They have the freaking thing in a lab! and these people who are trying to find out if its true or fake are pro!i mean thik what you think but this looks too real for me.Also ( in a lab )!

  744. Best thing to do with a dog.

    Do you think Archie should be neutered? It’s suppsed to stop them roaming but I just love the pictures and stories of his travels so I’d say no, even with the crayfish. I suppose a fairy could sort those suckers out but I’d still say no – what do you think?

  745. I don’t think we should neuter Archie. Buff would never forgive us, for one thing. For another, I understand neuters get along well with fairies as well, but are less likely to be invited to stay for dinner. If you want to know what they talk about at those parties, it’s probably best to leave Archie as-is.

  746. Well yes I’ve seen the benefits of a man being paid to sod off from under your feet (brother-in-law in the Navy) so I’m definately with you on this – Archie should remain un-fairyfied.

    He may not agree though and may quite like the idea – give his crayfish something to do; for all we know it’s already happened!

  747. @Philipa:
    If fairies could sort out suckers there’d be no Raincoaster.

    While I have never seen fairy in a lab, I have occasionally spotted the fragments of wing or tiny teeth that are the result of fairies ending up in a cat or an owl.

    I hasten to point out also, that as an Antipodean, Aerchie may in fact not have crayfish, although Moreton Bay bugs are a likely possibility.

  749. Nope, got that re: the tentacled one. The bugs look a bit frightening and every time I think of a huge crustacean I think of how they scream when dropped in boiling water, I know that’s supposed to be air escaping but… wouldn’t you if someone had dropped you in boiling water?? I like the advice: “demands a racy, dry and crisp wine to refresh the palate. Try a leaner style of young semillon sauvignon blanc blend. ooh! I’ll have a box of that mate! That reminds me of the fosters ad was it? They went to get a load of beer and put a bottle of sherry for the ladies on top of the beer in the truck and it collapsed, so did I, excellent.

    I don’t think you get many fairies in the outback…?

  751. For shame–to think of doing that to a baby. Everyone knows babies go with a boistrous red. Try a nice heavy merlot. Oh, and barbequeing keeps the wild flavour better than boiling.

  758. ‘To serve man’?? No thank you!

    Quite right in not showing the faces of fairies – give a man a mask and he’ll tell you the truth, and I’m sure the same applies to fairies.

  760. On the contrary; it’s one of the few times I don’t object to sexism. “No, no, the book is quite specific. THAT is a man, THIS is a woman. You wouldn’t make pizza with “potato sauce” would you?”

  767. I checked the “prankers” website and this is what it said, copied and pasted-

    The 8inch remains complete with wings; skin, teeth and flowing red hair have been examined by anthropologists and forensic experts who can confirm the body is genuine. X-rays of the ‘fairy’ reveal an anatomically identical skeliton to that of a child.

    It goes on, too. I DEFINETLY believe in fairies. raincoaster, I love this picture and now I have proof to my soul that fairies actually excist. Thanks for inspiring me with my manga/anime!

    This time, I will sign off. Goodbye! (for real)

  772. When I’m wearing wings I can roller skate and wear tight white jeans and little flirty dresses in the disco, and ride a bicycle and do loads of things I couldn’t do before – wings are great!

  774. Lucky me; I’m only in my forties. However some days I can empathise real well, especially after cheap chardonnay the night before :~} I blame it on the fairies – they won’t steal cheap white wine.

  777. if you click on the picture where it shows the entire fairy, it will take you to another website, on that website if you scroll all the way down in red letters it says that it’s just a fake and the winner of some contest will get the ….action….figure thing…. so yeah. just thought you buttholes should know.

  779. Actually, Miguel, if you look at that site closely you will see that the retraction was printed some days after the original article. This could indicate a genuine retraction or it could be that he was contacted by the fairies and told to retract! Now, have you any proof, one way or the other?

  780. So the topic is now Miguel, his butthole, sh1t and retraction due to constipation. I recommend a curry, Miguel mate. Eat in a curry house no Indian or Pakistani ever would and results are guaranteed, especially on a monday night. Go for the phal and you’ll fly to the bathroom as if with wings. It’ll give the waiters a laugh too.

  781. I’m sorry you’re with Archie Raincoaster as I was hoping you’d be with us in the UK earning lots of money for doing very little (so the job description seemed to read). When I get my poor person pension (lottery win) you’ll have a first class round the world ticket and can see us both.

    And anyway, Archie isn’t talking to me; I am in the wilderness of Archie’s private attentions – I blame the fairies.

  782. Eventually I shall be with you. If Cameron gets in, I figure I can get some cash out of his “Off the Dole, Into the Dosh” programs, teaching useless skills like Blackberrying and so on. And I’ve got the EU passport eligibility, so that’s bonus points: I can even work legally.

    Archie isn’t speaking to you? I think it’s just that he’s concentrating on Miguel, who is as Archie so rightfully noted, full of something and it’s not pixie dust.

    Where has that Eagle gotten to?

  784. Ahh, young Philipa, I am not aware of not speaking with you – I have just come (sic) from making a comment on the latest of your postings. I have been rather quiet for the past couple of days but that was due to f**king real life! There isn’t a fairy to be seen out there at the moment. It is too hot and the humidity wrecks their wings! I think they have migrated.

  785. GE: Please don’t regret the passing of years: they are proof positive that you don’t give up easily, if nothing else. Besides, everyone loves a distinguished older raptor. No doubt Archie will make a pun on that in his next comment…

    He has apparently been very busy f**king, or so he says!

  786. Ahh that explains it – I asked Archie privately if he missed anything of the desert even though he’s glad to be home; answer is obviously no, F*ck all! And yep, we’ve got all the fairies – Raincoaster was right (again!) there’s loads of ’em over here. Cameron may need a Fairy co-ordinator. I’ll leave that one to you Raincoaster.

    Mr Eagle Sir – ‘everyone loves a distinguished older raptor’

  788. I guessed you were part of the hags movement – creating high quality, innovative online environments that are aesthetically pleasing are one of the keys to HAGS success. You provide one of the largest ranges of virtual adult fun environments catering for a range of ages and abilities, from the traditional conservative & UniPlay/MultiPlay (in an election year) through to your innovative Agito collection for the hard-line left-wingers who spend a lot of time alone. Raptors are made as welcome as those with the softest of tentacles and most fragile of wings and other things.

    You’re a star and maker of pleasures – what can I say?!

  796. I had a fairy hit my winshield while driving home last night. It was still half alive when I pulled over so I just drowned it really quick in a nearbye creek. I figured that was the humane thing to do.

    I started driving home and realized my mistake. I turned around, recovered the drowned fairy corpse, and drove immediately to the nearest freakshow, where I promptly sold the remains for a $250 profit.

  798. Well I wasn’t going to say anything, but now that you mention it I do remember thinking the fairy had fantastic tits. I admit. I copped a feel as she struggled for breath. They were sort of squishy.

  801. Yes, Amy, there are fairies. They exist as certainly as love, and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Fairies! It would be as dreary as if there were no Amy’s. There would be no childlike faith, then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

    Not believe in fairies! You might as well not believe in Santa Claus!

  813. Indeed, but Kiki will not truly be enlightened until he hath molested a dead (or dying) fairy. Only then can true wisdom be reached.

    Regarding West Virginia/Charleston – one of the peculiar things about West Virginia (beyond the literacy rate compared to the per capita volume of firearms registrations)is that it contains both a “Charleston” and a “Charlestown.” In other words, to my knowledge, the Mothman believing populaces are within the same stately lines of demarkation.

  816. As I was once told by this gorgeous guru (gura? guri?–Female type, anyway):
    “No-one belives the truth anymore unless it’s attractively packaged.”

    Which explains why so many people refuse to believe in this fairy. I mean, would a little moisturizer have hurt?

  819. You know, that puts all your “Great Old Ones” postings in a totally new light.

    Of course your obsession makes sense; You will soon be an Old One yourself,if the ancient proto-Aramaic script written in an odd, dusty red ink upon the spider-skin parchment of your birth certificate is to be believed.

    Another peculiar thing about West Virginia – there is (or probably was, by now)actually a 7-11 franchise in the town of War. No faeries there, but I did find a burrito two months past its expiration date.

  823. Expired burritos tend to give me gas. As a child, my mother would claim the “flatulence fairy” had come to visit my stomach.

    We should do some cheaply made, badly edited, home video and claim it’s further proof of fairy existence. I’m thinking some stop-motion claymation animation would be fitting and proper here.

    AND America

  836. FIRST: Apologies if my responses to this thread are less frequent. Having recently passed the 800 comment barrier, it has also recently passed the ability of my browser to easily comprehend and/or open it. Nonetheless, remain assured that I am devoted to the cause of Fairy Realism and indeed only two days ago purchased a book on some chick called Opal who claimed to be in touch with the fairy realm. I shall report back once I have finished her memoir. She does look damnably familiar, like an atavistic survivor of some prehistoric cult or, come to that, a blood relative.

    SECOND: I wasn’t under the impression it was the US Airforce, but rather the Army and Marines, that made the difference. The real air heroes of WW II (and I say this as the offspring of a Canadian Air Force Master Sergeant) were the British. No?

  837. Your Grace

    Yes

    Apparently, 40% of RAF Bomber crews came from the Dominions (Canada, Australia/New Zealand & Zuid Afrika)

    …. but of course in 1939, folk in these Dominions (with complications in Zuid Afrika) regarded themselves as British and many continued to do so even into the early 1970’s

  838. Damn, she dragged me back in . . . .

    Axccording to the results of the Strategic Bombing Survey, U.S. precision bombing generally had little real effect on the war except when aimed at the oil industry/POL infrastructure. British strategic bombing again had little real long-term impact on Germany’s industrial capacity except when aimed at the POL. And most everyone knows that the Soviet advance into the oil fields of Rumania may have had a far greater impact on Germany’s oil supply.

    That said, American and British bomber crews suffered the most fearsome losses of any Allied aircrew over Europe, with the possible exception of Soviet air personnel and the Luftwaffe’s fighter force.

    Imagine being a Lancaster or Halifax crew blotted out by a Me 110 or Ju 88 nightfighter, or the experience of seeing your B-17 or B-24 disintegrate around you as your plane and a staffel of FW 190s close at almost 600 MPH.

    But yes, one has to give credit to the RAF/FAA/Commonwealth/European pilots who hunkered down and defended the Home Islands in 1940 and on.

    And the U.S. Navy pilots who were the ‘first team’ in 1941-1942 against the Japanese.

    And the Russian pilots who managed to survive and succeed after the events of 1941.

    Plenty of credit to go around

  839. Buon Giorno, Senor FFE

    We should be cautious about accepting the Strategic Bombing Survey’s suggestion that U.S. precision bombing generally had little real effect on the war [admittedly, except when aimed at the oil industry/POL infrastructure]

    Admittedly, US Precision Bombing was not very precise … and it seems that our German Friends did not really take ze War seriously enough to massively boost Weapons Production, until the Allied Bombing Campaign (and perhaps losses on the Russian Front) began to impact heavily

    BUT just think :

    1. Vast Quantities of Men, Artillery & Aircraft were diverted to defend Germany – how much damage would they have done if the Germans had been able to use them on the Russian Front, where a Russian Victory was far from assured until late 1944

    2. How much greater in volume & effect would German Arms production have been, if the Bombing had not caused massive damage/distraction to German Factories & Transportation Facilities

    3. Allied & Occupation Morale must have been massively encouraged by the fact that the omni=triumphant, omni-successful Germans were seen to be suffering massive retaliation – we were actually able to fight back

    Tot siens

    G E

  840. M. Eagle,

    Granted, the psychological value of strategic bombing was undeniable, and it tied down a great deal of materiel and manpower. But its effect in bringing the war to a quick close is less clear.

    I’ve been of the opinion that the most effective strategic use of airpower was the combined effect of Coastal Command, Army Air Force and U.S. Navy four-engined heavies and escort carriers against the U-boot threat. In that role, there was a much more dramatic effect in opening the sea lanes to vast quantities of shipping to support the operations against Germany and Japan.

    Of course, breaching dams and putting continuous stress upon industry and transportation nodes didn’t hurt us either.

  842. Jawohl

    und vot indeed about dose Fairies … und let us not forget that dos Fairies were ready to swoop and decimate German Tank Produktion, if only dose USAAF Chappies had paid just one more visit to the Schweinfurt Ball-bearing Factory

    G E

  843. Well, it’s clear that Fairies, like Switzerland, were entirely neutral throughout the War. This could have been very different, had the Germans hit a few specific locations in, ferinstance, Cornwall.

  846. coolio! i BELIEVE!!! oh and sorry for the no-caps. i never get to do that… i totally think it’s real. fairies RULE!!! i spend all of my computer time searching for pics of fairies. oh yes, and Raincoaster, u rule, and mr smuggles/mr sum or whatever u call yourself, COULD YA USE ANY MORE CURSES???? jeez. and yes USE YOUR SPELLCHECK!! it DOES exist! i have an imaginary friend and she’s a fairy.

  849. My favorite use of WW2 airpower is when the antiquated WW1 “swordfish” of the RAF nailed the Bismarck’s rudder.

    There’s just something about bi-planes attacking pocket-battleships that I find appealing.

  850. MeinPferd der Graf KStaff

    The Bismarck Campaign was a classic example of the efficacious& gratifying deployment of superior sea-power

    The 35,000 ton Bismarck was more than a match for any individual Britisch Battleship

    eg the Britisch insisted on sending the Prince of Wales into battle with civilian contractors on board before its construction was completed – predictably, its guns ceased firing at the most embarrassing moment, even without the encouragement which our German friends were so eager to give

    eg HMS Hood looked impressive, but appearances =flattered only to deceive – the Britisch had “economized” by failing to instal armour (… err … armor, in der Amerikanische Dialekt) at the rear and never got round to remedying this in the almost two decades of leisure that they had before 1939

    UND the Bismarck had more than its fair share of luck

    eg a lucky plunging shot hit the unarmoured rear of HMS Hood, just before she completed her turn to face her armoured front towards the Bismarck

    ABER [but] bad luck, if you have enough of it, eventually evens out UND buffoonery in sufficient volumes eventually becomes a strength

    We kept on attacking and sooner or later the blows were going to be effective

    eg HMS Hood’s broadsides did not hit the Bismarck, but a shell did minor damage to Bismarck’s oil tanks, which became an increasing inconvenience as sea-water mixed with oil which thus became unusable

    UND

    Apparently, our German Friends could not believe how slowly the Swordfish were flying

    Also [ergo], their sophisticated anti-aircraft guns were aimed in front of the Swordfish, at points where they thought the Swordfish would reach, but which the Swordfish weren’t fast enough to reach in time to collide with the German shells

    and a lucky torpedo hit the Bismarck’s rudder, slowing her down and crippling her steering

    Of course, any fairy on board could have told the German Kapitan of his peril and how to counteract the Swordfish, but one of the downsides of murdering large numbers of decent human beings & Fairies is that the Fairies had been terrorized off the Bismarck and were not there to give timely warning

    Well, this is it, init

    G Eagle

  852. Good motto

    but I wouldn’t attach it to WW2; people died and I wouldn’t attach any buffoonery to my relatives who fought in that war. War is nasty and bloody and horrible and many die horrible deaths, yet they still go out and fight. People are fighting and dying now in Iraq due not to a buffoon but a lying ambitious politician, may he never know a days peace. But he is not at the front line and won’t die. And that just makes me angry.

  853. And it is often buffoonery. I’m re-reading Flashman, the first one when he was in Afghanistan, and the monstrous slaughter because of stupidity would break your heart.

  854. But the stupidity is not from the men dying on the front line, it is from the lying git who caused the bloody war.

    Just wanted to write that again just in case any people in other countries, like Australia or the USA, were harbouring warm cosy feelings over the Bliar bastard.

    Sorry back to fairies..

  856. Funny – I thought Philipa was talking about our own head shrubbery.

    I always revel in the irony that we helped create the monster of al Qaida in our own headlong rush to give the Soviets in Afghanistan a taste of Vietnam. Yes, we had an obligation to go into Afghanistan and finish that particular rat hunt, but no one in power here was going to own up to the real reason for that and 9/11.

    As for Iraq? Well, I wouldn’t give Bush any credit for being particularly smart or intelligently ambitious. A buffoon, certainly, and led by the nose by avaricious, venal buffons with a level of animal cunning only marginally above most roadkill.

  857. oh WOW this looks like real shit I love fairies and unicorns are real too they have a breed of sheep or goat that have one horn that could be it and dragons? pfft. Comodo Dragon guys they do exist and when the stories have been passed down from generation to generation, their going to change thats how it happens just to show they ARE real better believe it.

  858. FFE has a point and I have to agree with *mysticfairy* – both Bush and Bliar look like real shit.

    I think Unicorns are a moot er.. point, however..

  859. I’ve never heard of a “Comodo Dragon” before. Perhaps in light of the discussion of naval battles the noted *mysticfairy* was referring to a Commodore Dragon?

    Although I can find no record of such on the HMS Hood crew list, nor on that of the Bismark.

    Perhaps it was a slight mis-spelling? Those with connections in Ry’leh might be able to inquire whether Lord Dagon holds staff rank.

    Or perhaps mf refers to commode dragons? Celebrated fantasist Terry Pratchett has noted that it is necessary to close the lid on the privy so that the dragon of unhappiness should not fly up one’s bottom.

    He also notes that there was probably no such creature until people began believing in one.

    Hence the picture above has been evolving, as more and more belief in dead, dessicated fairies accrues, it must be becoming more real. Therefore we should all believe in it …

  860. Nothing to do with faith on the dragon front (every man should have one) shutting the lid on the privy does not prevent the dragon of unhappiness flying up one’s bottom, although opening ones mouth too loudly does attract the little beast I’ve found, shh-it just happens, wherever you are.

  861. Ahhh, look at that. Now that those noisy humans have quietened down, all the fairies are sleeping. It is so sweet.

    Of course the terrible Afghanistani situation which was causing the pesky humans to raise their voices could have been easily solved had the Empire not fallen and had Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond and the kilted Third Foot and Mouth regiment been dispatched early in the conflict, the problem would have been solved!

    The environs of the Khyber Pass have been decidedly unpeaceful for centuries. Why do the politicians of today think they can solve the problem now?

    While Blair (and Howard) may have been gullible in respect of Iraq, it should never be forgotten that it was Bush and his cronies who told the bigger lies; told them first and told them loudest!

    Now, let us tiptoe out and leave these fairies to their well deserved rest.

The first fairy I saw was a cute little fella who just so happened to be in my hallway at about 11:12 p.m. The second time I saw a fairy was at maybe nine o’clock p.m. She was a very pale skinned fairy with black hair down to her knees. She was surrounded in a cloud of darkness…. I KNOW she had magical abilities.

    i know i will :)

  908. i have a question.

    Why is it when people draw fairies or you look them up on the internet they are made up to be like they are the most beautiful things ever?
    I mean it.
    If you look up a fairy image on google you will find unaturally skinny, huge breasted women!
    WHY?!?!?!?!?!
    AND why are they so close to nudity?
    Put some clothes on them!!!!
    ITS NOT RIGHT!!!

    raincoaster and anyone else who reads this please tell me because no matter how hard us women try we can’t and won’t ever look like that.

    Plus, why do women have all of the looks standards!
    we have to be skinny with big breasts or we are looked down upon. With guys you can be fat an lazy with gray hair and no one cares. If you think I’m lying look on the news. The guys can look however they want as long as they’re dressed up, but the women are very “perfect”.
    WHY?!?!?!
    Its not fair to the women!
    IT NEVER HAS BEEN!!!!1

    So please tell me raincoaster and anyone out there who agreez or disagreez.
    I honestly from the bottom of my heart want ot know why us women have to be so “perfect”.

    It makes me sick jsut thinking about it because I’m very tomboyish and I know I don’t live up to those standards.

  909. Well that’s easy. Women are not fairies: fairies are supernatural beings and so just as men don’t look like angels and kids don’t look like archons, women don’t look like fairies. Only a fool would expect them to.

    Google image search is managed by pervs. It’s true!

    Guys cannot look however they want without consequence. Fat, ugly guys are prone to being called fat and ugly. If you think that’s not true, you need to re-establish the balance in the universe by telling someone about a fat, ugly guy you saw. It’s only right and just.

  910. If you look on the news the guys are classified in two diferent catagories.
    The young newbies, and the old fat guys in suits.
    Seriously.
    Maybe its only in America, but those are the two types of guys on there.
    I’m not only talking about the fairies though. Women have always been treated as lower beings compared to men.
    I wasn’t saying men had no standards for looks either, but women have more than I can count and it makes me mad. If women have that many so should men. Its only fair.
    So again I will ask why do women have all the standards for looks?

  913. does any one else have the same feeling but they might just be real there is a slit possibilite that they might be but they might be fake fairy believer what do you think im pretty sure that you’ll say yes i think that fairys are real

  914. The thread appears to be slowly disintegrating into lolspeak. “Im in ur peet bogz, messin wif ur theerez.”

    As to the reality of fairies, if I may borrow from the immortal Mr. Pratchett:

    “Wherever people are obtuse and absurd … and wherever they have, by even the most generous standards, the attention span of a small chicken in a hurricane and the investigative ability of a one-legged cockroach … and when people are inanely credulous, thematically attached to the certainties of the nursery and, in general, have as much grasp of the realities of the physical universe as an oyster has of mountaineering … yes, Twyla: there is a (Real, Dead, Mummified Fairy).”

  915. WHAT METRO?!?!?!?!?!
    Well redmonk if you don’t believe the fairy remains are real, do you think that fairies themselves are real?
    If you think that fairies are real, than why do you not believe that the remains are real?

  917. well i said that the might be real but the might not some times i believe in fairys but some tomes i don’t

  919. well i said that they might not be real, but they might be
    Sometimes i believe in fairies, but sometimes i don’t
    It all depends on my mood

  922. How can you believe and not believe in fairies?
    You have to choose one or the other, not both at the same time.
    So do you believe in fairies or not?

  929. Well how do you believe in him if you havent seen him?
    I believe in fairies and God and I have seen neither.

  937. Well “mr. carpender/redmonk/my sister” please finish your lying story. we all would like to know what you saw on this made-up farm.

    :)

  939. it’s ok
    you know that if you wouldn’t have told me at our house that you were my sister i would’ve never known!!

    sorry for talking about nothing raincoaster!!
    :'(

  942. Wow, that is a lot of comments for only 7 days but it will never last as long as ours. Fairies are a big deal, whatever that is isn’t a big deal. So we will last long and we’ll get more comments than anything EVER!!

  944. its funny, i came across this site just as i was (still am btw) drawing a fairy xD
    is this real? a part of me wants to believe it is, but then again, it could be made of plaster and the locks of hair could be some u just cut off and pasted on her skull
    i do believe in fairies though
    and elfs, and all sorts of magical creatures
    and i dont care if that sounds noob, lol
    fairies rock

  946. FFE(former frontier editor),
    I’m sorry to tell you this but I have never heard of Queen Crispin. I do not know why that is, maybe because I’m American, maybe not. You seem to know who they are so I am asking you to please tell me.
    Thanx,
    Puppyluvz

  947. Psh. I just love how you say the fairy is 2 inches tall, but when viewed held in hand it’s much longer than that. Are you even sure you know how long an inch is?

  948. Tear down all of our hopes and dreams. First Santa, then tooth fairy, then easter bunny,Whats next? GOD! You guy’s should the imaginary things. Take that for Ha. Bye the way I am twelve years old. Thanks for the dream crushing.

  949. And just think, sweet young Isabella, the worst has yet to come. You’ll get married one day and found out that you’re barren. And then you will concede what the rest of us long suspect – that God is dead.

    MuHAHAHA!

  950. GOD IS DEAD?!!!

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
    all this time I thought I was praying to a guy that is alive.

    wait a minute…
    God has to be dead to be in heaven so that means he’s partially alive right?
    I’M SO CONFUSED!!!

    and does anyone know where raincoaster has been?
    she hasn’t posted any comments in quite a while…
    Hmm…

  951. Puppyluvs – Quentin Crisp was an English fairy, now defunct, however hard you clap or believe in fairies – they come, they go :-(

    Echo – when held in the hand an inch is always longer.

    Stiletto what a joy you are but if God exists at all then he can’t die. Surely you missed an evil cackle on the getting married bit? The prospect of an unappetising buffet lunch for people she doesn’t know and never did like when she met these distant relatives as a child, all getting drunk on her budget while her shiny new husband sweats his way through ABBA and YMCA until finally passing out in the hotel room with as much passion for her as a dead fairy.

  954. I am indeed an illusion. An illusion with a computer so b0rked it won’t open this thread most of the time. My apologies; it is heartening to know that I’m missed, if only because you want to keep your eye on the cougar in the room.

    SG, what’s worse is you get married, find out HE’s a fairy. That’s the worst.

    FFE, no pun? NO PUN? I’m shocked!

    And it’s a well-known fact that fairies appear larger in photographs. They’re magical, duh!

  958. hahah you guys are all crazy, I love it!
    And don’t worry puppyluvz here in ottawa there is a sign on one of the churches that clearly states “Jesus is alive” haha no joke, I laugh everytime I pass it :P

    And as far as this fairy goes…it is clearly a fake, but that doesn’t mean somethig doesn’t exist, especially because you say the word and everyone gets an image, if something isn’t real on any level then how can so many peole know what you are talking about. There is always a little truth in a myth. When you lose the ability to believe in anything magical at all or possibilities you have a sad sad life my friend :P

  959. I’m shocked at these as hoc dismissals of the fairy. Don’t you people see the EVIDENCE bag? That means the cops were investigating. I see no proof opposing the reality that this fairy is real. None. Offer it up if you’ve got it.

    FFE: I certainly couldn’t eat even one.

  960. Glad to hear from you again raincoaster.
    FFE: Quentin Crisp looks like the grandad on the movie “Luck of the Irish”, but thank you for giving me a site to look at even though it was wikipedia.(YUCK)
    Stealth: Love the name and thats kinda funny because the bible says he died and the God subject confuses me because he is and isn’t alive at the same time, he can’t be killed which means he’s alive but he is up in heaven which is where dead people go.

    So is he alive or not i need a straight answer, not a maybe at certain times, but a yes or no.

    Please tell me

    :)
    thanks

  961. Puppyluvz – he is alive in spirit but not in body on earth, yet he is all around us. Watch the film ‘Nuns on the run’ – Robbie Coltrane does a good explanation in that.

  969. I just found this site and it is Fabulous! Fairies are most assuredly real, I live next door to 2 of them and they are also Fabulous! Many are Queens and most have wonderful taste. NOT tasty (mere humans are not allowed to taste of the fairy lest they be drawn into the realm of Fairy forever, and I am trying to keep this clean…) I have asked one of the Queens to sprinkle those commenting with magical spelling dust and I was told to impart this one bit of wisdom: “I before E except after C or when sounding like A as in neighbor or weigh.” IM’ing is going to be the death of the Queen’s english.

  971. Lady Mags, we need more fairy poetry in this world. That brought a tear to the eye.

    Archie, what do you mean? Of COURSE fairies have testes. If there’s a Queen, there’s got to be a King, too, no?

  979. How do we know this is a fairy?
    Maybe its a pixie.

    Do any of you know for sure its a fairy or is it just that calling it a fairy is the first thing that came to mind because it is more talked about. Pixies do exist. So do fairies.

  982. Oh, pixies are a whole OTHER issue. I’ve got a post about pixies coming up soon and we shall deal with them at that time.

    That, in the picture, is DEFINITELY a fairy. Those Academic and Pre-Raphaelite painters knew their metaphysics.

  983. Well, if I married for money, it would be a dream come true! And if he were old, it’d be almost too good to be true! No wifely duties if you know what I mean. Plus I’d have the most styling house in town!

    We both could take on lovers – he just better stay away from MINE.

  984. That’s my retirement plan. Go to Palm Springs, where all the rich showbiz gays retire, find a doddering Catholic with a mother complex, and ask him how he wants to meet his mother in Heaven. With “Mom, I was fucking the pool boy” or “Mom, I just got married!”

    He wins, I win. Mom wins. Everybody’s happy.

  985. Marrying for money is totally the way to go.
    Stilleto, if all the young women married older men for their money who would be left for the older women?
    Or should we just forget the older women since they would probably be dead in a few years anyway?

  986. If the system is enforced, the older women will turn into rich widowed cougars and be bonking all the very young men.

    OR

    They could settle for the companionship of fairies. They wouldn’t be the first women to do so.

  987. HA HA HA HA HA!!
    Honestly I wouldnt want to marry a fairy no matter how rich(or cute) because if it was true love I couldn’t put him through my death since they live forever or for a really, really, REALLY long time.
    PLUS one of my standards for guys is that they have to be near my height(at most a few inches below) or taller than me.

  988. They also aren’t allowed to have any powers I don’t have.
    Examples: flying, magic doing, ect.

  990. Even they don’t have that much magic(or the ones who did it weren’t very good).
    I would be jealous if they could do magic and I couldn’t.

  995. “That’s my retirement plan. Go to Palm Springs, where all the rich showbiz gays retire, find a doddering Catholic with a mother complex, and ask him how he wants to meet his mother in Heaven. With “Mom, I was fucking the pool boy†or “Mom, I just got married!—

    Tread carefully in Palm Springs. My very conservative Republican friend vacationed there and ended up calling an escort service and ordered up one of each! This after being rejected by a couple in a hot tub.

    Very strange things happen in Palm Springs!

    Germanisch ist es nicht, because it would have read “suchEN”

    Perhaps it is Thai – Thai is a language remarkable

    eg the same word (pronounced something like “mew”) means “Cat” or ” Horse” or “No” – apparently it depends on the tone used for the word

    Not many people know that

    but perhaps it explains how the Thais avoided being colonized by the French, who have difficulties pronouncing their own Froggisch, let alone deciphering Tones

    My dog isn’t very good at that so its not fair.
    I WANT AN OBEDIENT SERVENT!!!!!!
    please? :(

  1003. First, you have to get a blog. Then you have to be polite to G Eagle. If you’re really lucky he might bust out the Latin, too.

    I, myself, always say “cat” or “horse” when I mean no.

  1004. I agree – I have a blog and Mr Eagle’s comments are a joy, not that I speak Latin, or can remember much german – in fact I had occasion to remember some german and ‘geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung’ sprang to mind, at great speed. As I’m in the UK I’m amazed I didn’t get fined for thought crime over the national prescribed rate.

  1011. Philipia is right the sky isn’t the limit.
    Neither is the moon.
    Or the stars.
    Can you guess what is?

  1015. This is FAKE! look at the wings! if this was real they would not be there! there would only be bone and thats a maby!

  1016. Again, as always, nothing but empty claims. I see no proof to back up your outrageous statements. Where can you show me an x-ray of a fairy indicating that the wings have bones? Do butterfly wings have bones? I think not.

    Back to the drawing board, fraudster!

  1017. The drawing board … where one has, presumably tacked down the specimen preceeding dissection?

    Although I think the wings may, in fact, have bones. One of the local owls regurgitates pellets at the foot on one of our trees, the pellets usually contain quite a number of small bones.

    Since owls are voracious predators, and nocturnal for the most part, their daily prey would include a fairy or two from time to time, fairies also being nocturnal (when did you last see a fairy in daylight?).

    Therefore some of those bones must be fairy bones, QED.

    We could possibly do a skeletal reconstruction, and in the process provide the world with it’s third known fairy sample. If anyone out there is particularly good at jigsaw puzzles, I could mail you some of the owl pellets.

    Many of them strongly resemble those malted milk easter eggs (I think the steady consumption of fairys is responsible for the bright colouration) so you’d have to take them apart very carefully to avoid them crumbling.

  1021. My Dad said something about malted eggs although I don’t quite remember what. He is an owl expert. I should tell him that the owls supposedly lay them and see what he thinks.
    :)

  1022. He told me I was crazy and all of you guys are crazy for believing in fairies and owls laying malted eggs. He also says he hates malted eggs and he can make that picture of the fairy using a program on his computer. I still believe it’s real though.

  1023. He sounds like an embittered old man. Tell me: can he PROVE owls don’t lay malted eggs? Oh, sure, he’ll probably try to shortcut and bamboozle you by proving they lay regular owl eggs, too, but that is NO PROOF they don’t lay malted eggs as well.

    As for his claims of computer fraud ability, I say the proof is in the Photoshop: let’s see what he can do.

    Troubling events around the World may render Fairies desperate enough to resort to forced migration to Metrolandia

    * will Archius Dudius be safe from its arms, now that he has abandoned inland Perth for Coral Beach, within tentacle-reach of the Sea

    * he will not get any protection from his heroic Promotion of Human=Menacing Pseudo-Animals – Drop-Bears, Desert-Sharks, Tree OktoPodia & the Wild Antipodean Rudd-Creature

    2. From her secret residence outside the London Congestion Zone but within a Racing Pigeon’s Flight of Shepherd’s Bush, the Lady ApilihP’s plans are coming to fruition on Thursday – her Ladyship’s Friend (herein called “der BozMeister”) is about to triumphantly become Mayor of London, replacing the People’s Champion, Puir Kennetho Rosso (a Politician to be trusted with the People’s Money)

    Puppyluvs, none of us completely understand G. Eagle. It is an undertaking best ah, undertaken, with an Africaans dictionary in one hand and a Latin dictionary in the other. And a drink in the other.

    I’ll have to find that third hand soon or i swear my brain will melt with all the words G puts in his/her messages.
    G: Thanks for ruining my hope for you finally making short comments.

  1044. Well, they’re not so much “hands” as “tentacles” but you get the idea. Three full still leaves the rest for typing.

    You know how scientists are supposed to make these important discoveries, I’ve noticed most of their discoveries are very unimportant. For example: if barbie were life size she would be 7’6″ tall;it is impossible to lick your elbow; there is a phobia for everything including fear of the peanut butter sticking to the top of your mouth.
    Yes these answer questions people ask but they are not “important” to the way we live our lives.
    That is another reason not to believe a scientist if they tell you there is no such thing as a fairy!!!!!!!!!

    Pup

  1062. I think that’s right. After all, this fairy was supposed to be in a magical barrow, but construction turned it up if I’m not mistaken. NATURALLY you’d decompose slower than a dinosaur in a magic barrow.

  1064. i believe in fairies, personally, and im really sad if it is fake, and really happy if it isnt, no matter what anyone says, but its also kinda scary knowing that them and sprites have a little temper on them.

  1065. ITS NOT FAKE!!!!!!!
    If you don’t believe in fairies why were you researching them in the first place? My answer: Your a self-centered jerk who believes in fairies and if anyone found out it would be the end of you.
    Pup

  1066. Pup, just ignore the h8erz. They make completely unsubstantiated claims. Anyone could have purchased the body on eBay and performed a scientific investigation. These people did not. Why? Because they’re afraid of what they might have found!

  1067. It is a Truth Universally acknowledged that the intellectually perceptive Pup shews a wisdom in advance of her youthful years in favOUring FaEries over Dinosaurs

    Faeries (especially the Mummified Dead) pose no health risk to People

    Dinosaurs (especially the Meat-Munchers, when rampaging over the Planet in the Good Old Days when this Eagle was young) would have relished varying their diet with the occasional Homo pseudo Sapiens, if only they had then been around before the Myth of Evolution had been invented

  1080. I am very reluctant to believe any story of this nature, and as per usual with these stories, I have found several holes in this case:

    It says at the very top of the page that the “fairy” was 2 inches long, however, in the picture of the hands holding the “fairy” it is clear to see that the “fairy” is indeed alot larger than this.

    Also, as someone earler pointed out, the investigative evidence bag is from Derbyshire, not the FBI and Derbyshire is not a part of the FBI in any way.

    There have been lots of claims like this saying that “fairies” have been found.
    What makes your claim any different from any of them??

    Please reply as I am dying to know what argument you are prepared to put up

  1096. @G Eagle:

    I believe the word mis-spelt as “apocolypse” should actually be “a pocolypso”

    A pocolypso is a festive Caribbean dance done by natives of Port Coquitlam, near Vancouver. Once tree octopus and transplanted-French-Canadian habitat, it is now the pre-eminent home of Swedish furniture in the region.

    “Coquitlam”, by the by, is the usual mistransliterated Native word meaning, in this case, “reeking of fish guts.” Never ask the upstream tribe about the neighbours.

  1097. I wasn’t talking about some Carribean dance. I was stating a word we use in America that means the end of the world.

  1103. 1) Hey, we’re almost at 1100 comments!

    2) We’ve certainly never had comments from a cryptozoologist who cannot spell “cryptozoologist” before.

  1106. Wow the 1100th comment, don’t I feel special.
    What to say?
    What to say?
    I KNOW!!!

    YAY FOR FAIRIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    :)
    pup

  1110. I don’t care what you people say, but the fairy looks pretty real to me. I beleived in them ever since I was a little girl living in the country, and when there were fireflies outside at night, I believed that the fairies would go dance with them in the moonlit night.

  1111. Except that I never really imagined them to look like that. It’s kind of creepy, like maybe nightmare creepy.

  1114. i rather believe in something like the poopy monster or the boogy man or maybe even chuck noris

  1115. Shut your stupid pie hole artemist! of cousre fairies are real! I spit when i say your name! P-toui!!!

    Next he’ll be ordering a 3rd & a 4th Miniature Aircraft Carrier to share avec les Frogges

    AND all to win the votes of single-parent mothers and to impress die Amerikaner that the Britisch are still a reliable World Power

    Before he can be arrested for yet more anti-Soviet Agitation and held by der Polizei for 42-days, this Eagle is off to the Prancing Pony for one last Drink

  1118. Eleven hundred comments? You realise this thread is now out of warranty, right? So’s that fairy, if I’m any judge.

    However, the flatness of this specimen can be easily explained:

    Just like many other people, when I was a child I believed that every time a child clapped its hands, a fairy fell to earth. I also believed that you had to be careful to wipe the guts off on your jeans.

  1119. That’s pretty sick, guts on your hands, then wiping them on your jeans. And how cruel are you to think that a child so innocent could kill a fairy just like that. Your twisted.

  1121. Oh sure, when “I” want to talk to you, Raincoaster, your not there to listen. You stupid Punk boy!! You are a boy, right?

  1122. HELLO!!!! IM GETTING REALLY BORED!!!!!!!!! YOU KNOW WHAT, RAINCOASTER? YOUR A JERK!!!!!!!!! EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT A BOY, YOU SISSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1123. i acually do believe it is real but the leaves for the wings look a bit fake ! but if this website gets more info then maby ill rethink my comment! but i dont think its a prank!whoever said that is just plain rude!!!!! bye!

  1124. @aero & jessica

    “Your twisted.”
    “Whoever said that is just plain rude!(x4)”

    If I may venture into your lexicon:
    “You’re words wound me. I didnt mean no harm”

    It is not so: I got a hea-a-a-a-a-a-art full of soul, as the song says. Let me prove it by composing a spontaneous poem:

    When I was a childe, I spake as a childe
    I wrote as a childe, and I thunk as a childe.
    I believéd in faerie(s) as a childe
    I didst spell as a childe
    Use multiple exclamation marks as a childe
    And didst write indignantly in ALL CAPS as a childe.
    And didst post multiple and unnecessary commentes as a childe.

    But when I became a man (as Raincoaster never shall)
    I learnt to put away childe-ish things.
    And bought me a dictionary and yea, a thesaurus also.
    And didst snark oft in the comments section
    Ande this be also my wisshe for you.

    Kisses, old darlings

  1126. Ok,listen up stupid people who know nothing about fairies and are reading the wrong blogs!!Yes,there was an April fools day prank but this isn’t it Retards from planet STUPID!Yea,sure I might sound like a weirdo Fairy lover and guess what?I AM!!!So,stuff your STUPID ASSES up your mouth!Yea,I get affended by non-Fairy believers!And yea I’m pissed right now 4 you and your stupid comments!BTW-buy a book on Fairies maybe,just maybe,You’ll understand fairies!(maybe,if you’re not all F***** up S*** heads like I know you are!)

  1127. there are many things in life that i am very unsure of but the thing i am very sure of is that fairys are real im a girl and 11 years yes i know to old to belive in fairys but this one is real how could some one pull of such a real thing of a fairy i mean it even has 8 rib cages xoxoxoxox corey.

  1128. @Haille:
    You sound like a weirdo fairy lover.

    BTW, buy a book on spelling and grammar and maybe, just maybe, you’ll understand why no-one takes you seriously.

    There’s probably a sale on dictionaries and grammar texts somewhere nearby. And they’ll be cheap, as it’s obvious supply is outstripping demand.

    Don’t despair though, you clearly have a career ahead of you with the Discovery Institute.

    @Corrie: You sound like a very nice person. Cling to that innocence until you’re at least 11-and-a-half.

    @RC:
    I know, I know … Can I excuse myself by saying “Look, it followed me home?”

  1129. Hey Metro, sweet little poem you put up, where did you find it? J/K. Any ways, I i smell like pee

  1130. Hey Metro, Nice poem, Where did you find it? J/K. Anyways, Methinks thou art not worthy enough to speak thy language of Mimbrate Knights. Take my advice and stop thy stupidity, doth understand me?

  1131. Who ever posted me as a retard will pay!!! AND I DO NOT SMELL LIKE PEE! I KNOW IT WAS YOU ARTEMIST, DONT HIDE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1132. Your right, i’m sorry. You dont smell like pee, you smell like petunias, and i smell like moose piss.
    love me truly.

  1135. This is charming. “Smeagol & Gollum: Together again for the very first time.” Now if only we could work out which is who.

    “I would the gods had made thee more poetical.”
    ~Touchstone to Audrey
    “As You Like It” Act III, Scene 3

    That poem? Well I ripped the bulk of it off from some old book all about a Great Sky Faerie. Good poetry, interesting stories, outmoded worldview.

  1136. Sure ye can call me what ever pleases thee. Have you ever read the Belgarion series Metro? If not methinks you should. It tis a really good book. Thats where I get all this theeing and thouing stuff. If you read it, Mandorallen, 2 or 3 book, cant remember, will get you started.

  1137. AeroG “Hey Metro, Nice poem … Mimbrate Knights …. doth understand me? ….. Raincoaster deserted us!!!!!!!!!!!! …. what ever pleases thee”

    err … ummmm

    Embarrrassed shuffling from left to right talon… and back ….

    I hope the Witty Monsieur de Metro will forgive an Eagle’s attempts to render the interesting AeroG into the Englisch as she is spoke by God, before the Amerikans & those Rooineks “improved” her, without agreeing with AeroG’s sentiments :

    Methinks the Welcome Aerogarthia meaneth :

    “…. dost thou understand”

    “… Her Grace hath deserted us”

    “… whatever pleaseth thee”

    AeroG might enjoy the unSpoiled Language of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer or the Authorized [King James’] Version of the Bible

    … but Beware … such Words are dangerous … Readers have been kNown to become Christians and (in Inglaterra) LABOUR-Voters, horribile dictu [‘orrible to say]

  1138. I thank thee, G Eagle Esq, for thy reference. So Raincoaster is a girl? Fine. Her Majesty hath deserted me.

  1139. errr

    …. an understandable mis-direction in an (ex)Colony with its strange republican & democratic ideas

    Oi tink the correct English usage for writing about a Marchionesse is :

    Her Grace

    Not many people know that

  1140. True, and not many people have read all the comments. If they had, they’d know why I don’t comment here often anymore. Scroll up; they’re all still there.

  1142. The guy who found it has already admitted that he is addicted to april fools… Besides, I’ve seen more like this kind of “proof”, often just some cutting-and-pasting with dead monkies, feathers and dead leaves. Sorry guys, but this and the fact that it was sold (instead of taken and investigated by the government) to some collector for a pretty low price (I believe it was about 250 pounds)… I would really like to see real proof of fairy’s… But this is just crappy fake stuff. Sorry.

  1143. You people come, you naysay, you offer no proof of your claims (not so much as one link? Nothing? Pix or it didn’t happen) and then you HOTLINK MY IMAGES on your forum!

    Well! I never! Or at least I wouldn’t with you! That just goes to show you what kind of people you unbelievers are.

  1144. “Dead monkies”?

    Well it’s not a Franciscan. I suppose it could be a Dominican …

    Oh–wait! Silly me, I’ve completely misunderstood. Now I see–Jill’s right. It looks a great deal like Michael Naismith. And now that I think of it, has anyone seen him around lately?

    Ah–ha!

  1145. UnBeliever, the veracious Jill may be, but she must be rich, if she thinks £250 is a pretty low price

  1146. Indeed, even though the fairies are quite cheap around certain sections of my neighborhood, at least near closing time.

    Metro: I don’t know where Mike Naismith is. Who is he? Was he named after that guy in the Monkees, Mike Nesmith?

  1148. Hey this is all so stupid. tha picture is of a reall fairy. the human world has destroyed the beliefe of them. they make our plants grow and they help us. we have just erased everything of them. but if we all can believe then there might be hope of them to come out of hiding and they can really help us. all of your guys’s talk is just stupid that is a reall fairy and you all know it. so stop denying it and start believing!

  1152. How funny! I posted a link to a compost pumpkin and I got a message that read Discarded! Somebody’s got a sense of humor out there….

  1154. Wow!!!
    I missed a lot while I was on vacation. Nearly 50 comments since my lovely 1100th comment. My only question is why do the naysayers look up fairies when they don’t even believe in them?? It makes no sense.

  1157. i think its real yah but santa no thootfairy no becousi one thime i put my tooth but it was fake.so when people still think that santa is real they are kid so sorry to saying your kid but i whant you to know

  1158. That was difficult to read but I think I got the just of it. What you were trying to say is that Santa and the toothfairy weren’t real. I have to majorly disagree with that though. I have seen Santa(and it wasn’t at the mall it was at our house on Christmas). So how can he be fake when we have seen him(and it wasn’t our dad in a costume or something stupid like that).
    Pup

  1160. Matthew:

    You know spreading disinformation and lies like that gets you a one-way ticket to the Hot Place (I think that’s a fairy bar downtown, can’t say as I’ve never been, myself).

    Of course they want us to believe this is a fake. The Illuminati want us to underestimate the threat from their allies, the fairies. But be warned, the threat is very real.

    Have you ever seen an empty eggshell on the ground? Those are the remains of fairie hatchlings–clear proof of their existence. However if you see something that appears to be a whole egg on the ground, leave it at once and don’t touch it–those are faerie technology land mines, and could take your arms clean off. Call your local bomb disposal experts or police, and the poison control people. Oh, and any local Exferinigators you can find (an exferenigator specializes in removing the chemical traces left by faeries in order to lead their brethren [faeries are exclusively male] to a food or nesting site).

    The Illuminati, together with the Freemasons, Osama Bin Laden and Kelogg-Brown-Root (a faerie company masquerading as human, I mean, the name just screams faerie), are grooming an army of wee folk, including faeries, trolls, gnolls, orcs and mini-sasquatch, in order to force their Newer World Order upon us.

    As I understand it’s for a large hawaiian with mayo. An abomination that must be fought to the death!

  1161. OH NOOO
    NOT A FAERIE ARMY WITH MINISASQUATCHES(why can’t they have big ones, too)!!!!!!!!!

    I don’t want a new world order.
    HOW DO WE STOP THEM?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
    :o
    Pup

  1162. this is SOOO cool!! i told my mom fairy tales exist but she said no! but when she saw the picture she said sorry i didnt beleve you before.

  1163. Yay!!!

    More people need to be like her mom and stop disbelieving, they should just face the facts.

    Pup

  1166. that is so alsome i hope i v\find something like that one
    DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1168. I never !?!?, though I sometimes !?, and occasionally ?!

    Interrobang forever?!

    I’d link to interrobang, but I’m not sure which of the thirty-nine blogs by that name is the original.

  1170. This could be made from polymer clay showing ribs, teeth etc. I think all x-rays sould be posted. Until then I will keep believeing in Angels only.
    I would love to believe in fairies, mermaids, trolls etc. but I would like proof first. I would like to ehco Jill:

    The guy who found it has already admitted that he is addicted to april fools… Besides, I’ve seen more like this kind of “proofâ€, often just some cutting-and-pasting with dead monkies, feathers and dead leaves. Sorry guys, but this and the fact that it was sold (instead of taken and investigated by the government) to some collector for a pretty low price (I believe it was about 250 pounds)… I would really like to see real proof of fairy’s… But this is just crappy fake stuff. Sorry.

  1174. posting comments at 3:30 in the morning, huh? interesting…so, i heard that there is over a 1000 comments on here….have we hit 2000 yet?
    btw, that faerie looks so real, it kinda freaks me out because of the wrinkles….i soooooooo believe in faeries, but i dont believe that Mr. Ollie Winkle (an old faerie) killed a man because the man was handsomer than he was….(strange book i read :P)

  1176. I have no idea how they get the little pictures up there but they do(its probably the fairies or some really smart computer person).
    Yea you believe in fairies and what was the title of the book you read, I would like to read it?!?!

    Pup

  1177. i believe in harvey dent…
    ups sorry,.. i mean i do believe in fairy..
    also alien,monster’s sea. they do exist! u better
    believe it bro, the truth is out there..!

  1180. I think that weather or not other people believe this I do. I don’t give a you-know-what about what other people think. Anyone who doesn’t believe this is just to narrow minded.

  1181. Fairies are so real.I love fairies.And this is proof that fairies are real.C’mon, they got the cops on this thing.That should be enough 4 u.If fairies ar’nt real, then who came up with the idea.Just to make up something so awesome and tell people its not real?That person doesn’t exist because fairies are so real.

  1182. i belive in faires i know they can exsist no they DO exsist their magical their beautiful their wild they have their own language the keep to themselves they know were destructive they know if scientist find any of them they will murder them kill their race off make them vanish off the face of the earth theyll mercicelly slaughter them . theyll throw them on the table and cut them open theyll rip out there guts and cut them open. theyll cut open there wombs and take out there unborn young and cut them up 2 the government will make them vanish to keep democracy in order theyll do anything to keep democracy together theyll say its 4 scientific descoveries well dont fall for it theyll kill any one who dare try stop them. fairies r in danger when they enter our world if u dont belive in fairies u dont belive in god. if god can create us why cant he create them? do u not belive in gods work?
    that is all i have 2 say……..
    the rest is up 2 u……..

  1183. ok..this seems interesting..but i stop believing in this things long time ago, i know it’s sad and more because i’m just fifteen years old. i used to believed alot in these kind of stuff, really, but this cruel and soulless world made me lost all my fantasies and dreams. somewhere inside me i know i still believe in this.
    well if you know someway i can, i don’t know get back all those beautiful beliefs tell me.
    have a nice day

  1184. Hello boys and girls, can you say “Fiji Mermaid”? I bet you can.

    It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

  1186. please….
    je ne parle pas englais est il possible que quelqu un me traduise le texte s il vous plaits …
    Merci d avance a ceux ou celles qui me traduiront ceci

  1189. i totaly believe in fairies but i dunno about this…wouldnt they just like, evaporate or sumthin when they died? and the only reason officials are calling this a fake is because they dont want people knowing about the super-natural around us! 0_o

  1190. All you people are focusing on the fairy instead of the real issue here.
    The caption below the picture claims the remains are only 2 inches long, yet the remains are larger than the two hands holding it?
    It is sad when someone tries to pull off a hoax and completely screws it up with such blatant ignorance. LMAO

  1191. Kari darling. We must remember that fairies are magical and can seem larger than they really are. They are trying to prove this to you in the picture. Don’t you understand?
    And if you don’t believe me you can read further up the page and see there was already and arguement on this topic.

  1192. wow raincoaster i aint been on this site for like a year, glad to see it’s still going, how many comments have you got now? (i would count them but i kinda have better things to do with my time)i still believe in fairies =D

  1193. dude any one know where i can find more info about this….well looks interesting and if this where real where are this animals

  1194. Glad to see that hannah has come back. Rain doesn’t get on very often anymore but I do weekly.

    Mario: I have know idea where to find more info on this topic but if you listen to the comments on this site you can probably find someone who can help you find some info.

  1195. Absolutly dreadful. Hmmm… no I can deffinatly say that if I were to pass away (which concidering the cercumstances is a very very low possibility) I would not wish for my rotted body to be photographed and placed all over the web. Kindest regards to the family of this por Fae may it not hinder your lives to much.

  1196. I think the fairy was found for a reason and it was to prove to all the non-believers that they really do exist.
    Yes it would kind of suck to have your photo all over the web if it was a bad thing they were saying about you but this is for the good of the world.

  1197. FOR ALL YOU PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO DENY THAT THIS OBJECT ISNT REAL THEN YOU ARE SADLY MISTAKEN!! FAIRIES ARE INDEED REAL. JUST ASK AN EXPERT!!! JEEZE!

  1199. Blimey, this is still going? Raincoaster is the blogmeister. We are not worthy and I expect the fairies are grateful too. Good thing to have; a grateful fairy, so I’m told.

  1201. I think this is real. Its so different from other depictions of fairies, where they’re all perfect in flowing petal gowns and so on, so all you non-believers out there, I’d like to see you explain this one!
    Much Love x

  1203. um…i know u would like to think that this is real fairy but it is not look at the wings thay r soo fake they look exactly like leaves and you can even see the stem coming through the middle and out and he is holding it from the back so the leaves dont fall off hey guess what if u want to proove to us that this is a real fairy then why dont u take a side veiw of the photo without u touching the back or without gluing the leves on HUH SEE WHAT HAPPENS THEN and also give us a photo from its back

  1204. um i used to belive in “fairys” but now i have grown up and i belive u should to but i think its pretty cool and there is no way it can be a barbie but u might be able to make it useing small animal bones and paper mashae, also for the hair, could be from a animal or human it looks far to real to be wig hair and i belive that the wings was made by leaves in a way to where they look like that please write back telling me where the origanl picture was takein and who took it please and if someone tells me “oh its real” or “why are you asking that”? ect. i will give a reasonable answer, Thank you that is all

  1206. i found what i believe to be part of a fairy in my front yard it was very small and looked like it had been attacked. the parts that remaind were the legs torso and wings. the legs were still slightly moving and one of the arms was a little ways from it. when i went later that day to look at it it had disapierd

  1208. YAY! Congratulations to scientific investigator Lulu, who has added the last piece of corroboration to the puzzle and, in the process, put us over the 1200 comment mark!

  1217. …. but Fairies are imMortal … apart from those that get mummified or emigrate to MetroLandia and drink the anti-freeze laced milk left out for the local Cats ……

  1221. Well if they make a film of it I’m happy for Arnold Vosloo to feature, and Oded Fehr, but spare me Brendan Fraser and Robin Williams. I think Raincoaster would look good in a tutu though and kick ass like Carrie-ann Moss just dreams about, with fairy dust. What value the blog after the award ceremony huh?

  1226. Hind “…. how awEsome would that be!”

    However, not for the Fairy …. but at least it would stop him (or her, in these “enLightened” times) vting for that kindly lady, Mrs Palin

  1227. @Hind:
    Come up our way. We get them in swarms every spring and fall as they migrate to their breeding grounds on the coast … or tanning beds, perhaps. Fairies don’t breed, generally. Anyway, it’s good fun shooting the slow ones with slingshots.

    Unfortunately it usually damages them beyond the abilities of modern taxidermy. Which is why I think this example’s fake. Besides, you can’t see any fangs in that picture, can you? Real fairies are vicious little buggers. Once they’re on the ground you really have to make sure they’re dead before you touch them, otherwise you’re risking rabies, fleas, and possibly worse.

  1229. I’ve never cared to look closely enough to tell. Although my local MP might qualify–he gives the impression of having been embalmed.

    No tell-tale signs of fairyhood, though … but on the other hand he’s a Conservative MP and a lay preacher in some born-again outfit, which are believed to be two of the three initial indicators.

  1232. i think it is real but what do i know. all i know is it looks pretty awsome
    -bobbie

    I think it is real also. I hope it is ‘cuz that’d be really cool!!!

    -Stephanie

  1234. im in my teens but im not thick!!
    those wings for one thing look alot like leaves to me!!!
    seee girls arnt as easely fooled as boys so there!!!!

  1235. Metro – close enough ;-)

    Steph – well of course it’s real!

    Pusscat – sadly I’ve found that’s not the case :-/

  1236. and just when you think fairies aren’ real,,,,one just pops up outta nowhere.at the same time, we have to be thinking that corps could be faked,or it might not be,unless i can exsamen the corps for myself;i will allways ask myself this question:how will we ever know what is to believe or what is to be ignored as stupidity?
    we may never know.

  1237. And I want to know what they’re teaching children in school nowadays, and why? To quote Micheal: “how will we ever know what is to believe or what is to be ignored as stupidity?” Quite. Good point.

  1238. PussCat “.. im not thick …”

    Michael “.. how will we ever know what is to believe or what is to be ignored as stupidity ? ..”

    Your Grace

    I flatter myself that I agree with the encouragingly-perceptive young PussCat & the sagaciously-bemused young Michael on so many things

    …. apart perhaps on whether the White House would be elegantly adorned by a Young Lady so expensively attired as Mrs Palin (under the Shrub Doctrine the terror to local Moose & Monsieur Metro’s Tree Oktopodia)

    BUT

    It is NOT a Question of Stupidity or Thickness but a Question of Truth

    Galileo Galilei’s ABSURD suggestion that the Earth goes round the Sun may seem pretty stupid & tick (Oirish for “Thick”) to Flat-Earthers & Geo-Centrists

    BUT it is a Matter of Fact whether Signor G was (or was not) Korrekt

    und FACTS have to be ascertained on the basis of Evidence …. and Evidence has to be carefully scrutinized

    MAIS

    Living in Derbyshire (per Miss Jane Austen : “the best of Counties”), how can one openly express doubt over what could become a much-needed Tourist-Attraction in these times of Oeconomic Stress

    J’ai l’Honneur de rester le Servant obedient de la vestre Grace

    G Eagle

  1239. Mr Eagle, Sir, I concur.

    And it is the best of counties, for what can compete with the feel of gritstone under the fingers or the soft heartening viw of the Peaks?

    Sir, perhpas you missed my message on Aerchies blog, so I hope Raincoaster will permit me to invite you to email me? I would like to invite you to my blog – it is now permission only. (again)

  1241. ok all you punks that say you dont believe in fairies. remember when you were growing up and your mom or dad or some one in your family told you all those nice little FAIRIE TALES. did you ever stop to think that they HAD to be based on SOMETHING. and you had to have looked on google or ask jeeves or something about fairies to find this page in the first place….SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO if you didnt (dont) believe,

  1242. ok all you nonbelievers. if you do in fact DO NOT believe in fairies than why were you searching for FAIRIE things and happened upon this page. “oh look its a fairie. ill go check it out” you had to have thought something like that you idiots. ever wonder where the basis and title A FAIRIE TALE came from???? FAIRIES x_X

  1244. when i first seen this pic i though it was real, but no i know other wise lol very gd tho. its a shame its not real but there is still hope :)

  1246. hi! I thinck thath fairy’s existe because they are special

  1251. wow that fairy looks dead if i was that thing i whould kill myself one minute im the im dead already hahahahahah

  1252. well people please just stop huffin and puffin about it stop talkin trash if you dont believe and go on with your life and leave us who do alone and one day when we get full proof to rub in your face then lets see you all big shot then talking trash a am 17 years old and i do believe its hard to but like a few comments up about god well i never seen him either but how did i get to step on earth if it was not for him in my case i say keep up with your work RC 8) your amazing off and out peace

  1253. oh my god!!!!!!!! what is in your head people!!! even the owner has already published the fakeness of this thing!!! is NOT real at all!!! c’mon!!! he even apologized!!! what is next? the lake ness monster remains??????? i think barney is a real dyno too!!!!and i have an unicorn in my backyard!!!

    tha bag’s evidence? how dificult is to print POLICE EVIDENCE… i have some million dollar bills i bought at 99 cents! i think they are real too!!!

    my god!! grow up people!!! the creator has apologized for the shock his creation made!!! IS NOT REAL

  1255. Oh come on, folks–Err on the side of the evidence.

    The person who found this has obviously presented it in good faith to the world, and for that reason alone it deserves at least a little credit.

  1257. I wasn’t saying that–I meant that no matter how crazy the poor guy who found this thing is, you have to factor in that he really believes this thing is a real “fairy.”

    I mean, anyone with half a brain knows fairies don’t exist, but common sense never was all that common.

  1258. But anyone with both brain halves know that fairies DO exist, and no, I’m not gonna make a joke about Proposition 8.
    If they didn’t exist, why would we have a name for ’em?

  1259. We-ell we have a name for penis envy, Jordan and Micheal Jackson but none of those exist – the’re just human constructs.

    However, Metro – it is against all the laws of physics, is it not, that bees can fly? Yet they do.

    Everyone, QUICK! Clap your hands and say:
    I do believe in fairies,
    I do believe in fairies..

  1260. OMG!!!!!
    It has been a while!!!
    So much I’ve had to read since September 20.
    Hmm…. Still looks like we have a bunch of naysayers and the same people educating them just like always. Mothing really new except for the fact that I found out Philipia doesn’t believe in Micheal Jackson who I know is a very real and VERY VERY VERY SCARY person. But other than that nothing new. Oh well I’ll get over the fact that I didn’t learn anything new today.(3:50 my time)

  1262. No, he’s a chimera.

    And for pete’s sake use the other half of your brain. This is a cute model, passed off by someone as the real thing. But it isn’t real and won’t be, no matter how much wishful thinking you apply.

    We have names for phoenix, don’t we? Also cyclops. But how many have you ever seen, eh?

  1264. Metro–

    Using only the third half of my brain(the half that I leave behind the couch, and the one that you apparently don’t have) “Chimera” is a synonym for “cicada” if you’d take the time to peruse teh latin. Please define your version/re-definition of “real.” I stand by my statement, and it stands by me.

    Phoenix is a city. Cyclops is/was a one-eyed cat borne last year whose image was spread all over the internest. Both exist, or existed. Do you still sleep on a futon?

    It is a Truth universally acknowledged that more is there to Life than le Raison

    … errr … embarrrasssed shufffling from left talon … and back to right talon … shouldn’t it be CHIMaERA (Greek)

  1268. Surely you’ll never need any port while there’s still Sterno available?

    You assert the existence of fairies because we have names for them … Are you now saying that the flaming bird of legend exists because there’s a city named after it? Or that a birth-deformed kitten gives credence to a one-eyed giant?

    Your statements don’t so much stand by you as prop you up, and they’re not doing a very good job.

    I suggest you go sift through your couch cushions and find that missing chunk of brain, because operating without it has clearly impaired your ability to distinguish fact from fiction, tell $#17 from shinola, and do fractions.

    I haven’t slept on a futon in years. I dumped it in an alley. Check the tag on yours and see if it says “Metro”.

    @G Eagle:
    Metaphorically, the raisin is what is left when Bunk has finished dessicating the grape of knowledge. It’s shrivelled and twisted and vaguely resembles the original, but it’s nothing like.

  1269. I didn’t want you to get mad I’m just saying he does exist, and he is very scary and very gay. we have a saying over here that goes:
    “I plegde alligence to the flag.
    Micheal Jackson is a fag.
    He used to play with little toys,
    Now he plays with little boys.”

  1270. Metro–

    It’s getting hard to hear you through the pingback list static of SheWhoShiftsToNeutralDuringPrecipitation, and I’m sorry to hear about your extra chromosome. It kinda explains why your logic skips occasionally. My DVD player does the same thing, so you’re not alone.

    Let’s take a different tack. Assuming that Faeries do NOT exist, then how do you explain the transformation of your own baby teeth (individually left under your futon within a couple of years after you were whelped) into coins? Physics, whether General, Nuclear or Meta, cannot explain it, but the existence of Faeries does.

    Following the same argument, if faeries don’t exist, then trolls don’t either. You cannot deny that you exist.

    Now go pull out that last tooth that you’ve been twiddling with your tongue and put it under your pillow tonight. In the morning: Instant Faerie PWND.

  1273. Well it’s making me laugh and that’s a good thing. Crying with laughter.

    ‘cept the Micheal Jackson bits, obviously. That IS scary.

  1274. Hitting control-end only took me to a page containing two Bunk comments. Hardly “the good stuff.”

    Bunk, if anything around here shifts to neutral during precipitation, it’s your mind. Shame you live in an area that gets 200 days of it per year.

    Your DVD player skips because you keep shoving coasters in it. If you’d lay off the sauce a little you might be able to tell the difference.

    It’s not actually my extra chromosome. We keep one of your warts in the secure lab up here. Your profile is in the “what not to do” section of the Mad Scientist’s Handbook.

    Which of course would explain why you’d think a healthy specimen such as myself might be running out of teeth. But us normal human types normally keep them for most of our lives. Did you have an accident? Is it due to the nourishing diet of Twinkies and Cheetos on which you subside? Or did you lose all your teeth chasing fairies?

    None of my teeth has ever transformed by any sort of magic. Presumably, this being the time of year it is, you’ll shortly be referring to a certain “right jolly old elf” and claiming that if HE doesn’t exist, who brings the pressies, right?

  1275. Dear Bunk

    Salve

    This is very vorrying

    The normally sensible Monsieur Ortem seems to be asserting the desideratum of being a “normal human type”

    … surely he cannot have been sampling that Stuff that he has been putting out at night for the puir Faeries migrating in quest for a safer habitat, little realizing the perils in his Neighbourhood from (eg) Tree Oktopodia

    It is a Truth Universally acknowledged that no-one would want to be Human if he/she had the better offer of being a Racoon or (better) an Aquilan

  1277. Senor Eagle Gris–

    The Metro-gnome is out on a limb here (no offense GE) and he’s been backed into a corner. It’s very typical for someone in that situation, when one’s fallacious arguments have run their course, that one resorts to personal attacks having nothing to do with the discussion.

    I would never stoop to such blatant character assassination, although I wonder why he seems to be an authority about drinking Sterno.

    That in itself might explain why he missed my pun about the omnipresent and Honorable Ms. R’s blogging name, and jumped instead to the bizarre conclusion that I live somewhere that gets rain 200 days a year.

    RC– We get rain 365 days a year, thanks to you! =)

    Metro–
    I shove Coasters into my CD player, not my DVD, but only rarely. Honestly, how many times in one’s lifetime can you listen to “Charley Brown,” “Smokey Joe’s Cafe,” “Along Came Jones,” and “Young Blood?” (Okay I’ll give “Poison Ivy” a pass, just for the one-note guitar solo.)

    How’s your “Cowsills Revisited” retro band going? Keep us posted.

  1278. Metro–

    BTW, I gotta thank you for that virus-laden email you sent me yesterday. V-COM vaporized it on arrival. I also note that since you haven’t posted your usual smarmy response to my comments as quickly as usual that you must have received my “package” as well.

    Go to Trend Micro’s website and get a free online scan and pray… assuming you can access the internet at all.

    You’ve gone skooters, bro. Do it again and I’ll turn you in to the Feds. Serious.

    I drink antifreeze only when I am attempting to attain the worldview of M. Strutts, or when I’m hanging out with Raincoaster.

    @Raincoaster:
    You might, in a bad light and by a good-natured, drug-addled, pathalogical liar, be called “normal”. Want proof? Send Bunk a picture. Of course he probably thinks Micheal Jackson’s normal, so maybe we need a better guinea pig.

    @Bunk:
    Your remarks about failing to stoop to character assassination confirm my view that your mind is going.

    My apologies for mistaking your geographical origins–I thought you were a Seattlelite. However, California is also a reasonable explanation: You’ve clearly been smoking something, in any case.

    Now as to the question of virus-laden emails: It sure as hell didn’t come from me. However, it can’t be conincidence that my hard drive crashed mere moments after I opened what I assumed to be simply another deranged screed from you.

    No need to get the feds involved–they already know. I understand sending viruses with intent to cripple a computer may be a federal offence. The Federal Trade Commission and the ISCC may want a word, as well. Assuming the RCMP can’t find a reason to charge you with terrorism.

    Oh, and by the way, I got your “pun,” but ignored the sense of it out of pity. One has to consider the source, and if that’s the best you can do then we should all applaud your little effort. Not everyone is cut out for the literary life.

  1281. Oh, and your humourous remark was closer than you realize. I have actually fronted two bands. How are you getting on marketing your CD–What’s it called again? Ah, right: “Bunk Sings Stockhausen’s Greatest”.

    I understand that you’re having some trouble finding a new reviewer since the last one’s suicide attempt.

    I’d volunteer, but I suffer from some primary defects that keep me from enjoying it as intended. One, I’m not a masochist; Two, my hearing is quite good; Three, I have taste.

    Never mind, though. Perservere. It will at least keep you from violating the panhandling laws, technically.

  1282. Metro–

    My comments have been very civil, but your anonymous phone call to the police wasn’t. Way to go, scaring my wife and kids like that. Your false 911 calls have been logged in as blatant harassment since you’ve done it twice before. That you live in Kanuckistan doesn’t let you off the hook for internet malfeasance under U.S. law. You are dangerous and deranged, my friend, aka Klaus.

  1283. Hey–I never made any anonymous phone calls. All my reports to the police have been signed. I had no idea they were already watching you, and they wouldn’t say why. But if I gave them the excuse they needed to execute the search warrant, then I am happy to have performed a public service.

    I’m really sorry if your wife and kids were frightened, but at least you’re not having to explain to your boss why the company intranet shut down, and why the RCMP have forensic IT inspectors looking at the servers.

    One of us needs therapy alright, and it would be you. That video link was clear proof. You remind me of someone … Ah yes: this fellow.

    You’re getting on my nerves, amigo. I’m a nice enough guy to let this drop here, but I wouldn’t push it if I were you. Just friendly advice.

  1284. Metrogue–

    Keep ranting away, boy-chile. Everyone sees through your unfounded accusations. Comparing me to Oingo Boingo’s Danny Elfman is an insult? He’s one of the most successful composers in the business, you dork.

    Suggest you hunker down a bit, bro, so the RCMP doesn’t find the teen skirt porn on your company server that you described to me in detail last June.

    You know what I’m talking about: mirrors on your shoes, up the dress… You’re a sick person, sMutro. Why don’t you off yourself and give us all a break.

  1287. That’s because I took the most incriminating stuff off. Mwahahahaha. So now you initiate flamewars whenever my hits drop too low OR I tell Dick Cheney what you said about him!

  1294. While Indigo’s statement is incorrect, I agree with it.

    That was fun. We should do it again sometime, in the spirit of bipartisan co-operation and all that.

    What would Mr Darcy say !!

  1326. There may not be a tooth mouse, but there IS totally rad and aweseom Mouse Woman! Book by Christie Harris. http://tinyurl.com/6l2e4w

    Awesome and fun book! And didn’t first nations have some sort of little people lore? I can’t remember their name though! Starts with an “m” or “w” I think and is long and complicated. Raincoaster, you should know the answer with that logo, and since you are an expert on paleofaerie species and all… (this may have been discussed but I must confess I skipped some posts!)

    Ok, that’s my 2 bits!

  1327. GE esq– I was only congratulating the ONE on achieving her goal of 1,300, not claiming a point for myself as I had no way of keeping count. Tambien, es muy triste que la palabra “raccoons” tiene dos letras “c”… Ahora tengo talons que vayan izquierda y derecho, como sus.

  1328. 86 to go!

    And there are lots of little people myths among First Nations people; as many as there are different nations! But since this was found in Derbyshire, I’m assuming it’s ye olde Englyshhe kind of fairy, with which we are all familiar through our colonial educations.

    Kye, they obviously took her out of her barrow. She’s homeless! That’s what’s causing all of this…mortgage market collapse, bank bailouts, the whole thing…it’s so obvious, in retrospect!

  1331. Speaking of Faeries, aren’t they related to the Menehunes of Hawai’i? They’re a pain over there. What about the ones who are attacking El Coyote in West Hollywood because the lady who owns the place is a Mormon and donated $100 to preserve the definition of marriage as that between a man and a woman?

  1347. Belgian beers pale in comparison to Dutch brews. Grölsch pulls an Australian Toaster Biscut (makes my mouth waaw-tah!). Heinie can just go ahead and cover its face in shame as it gets beat out by Olympia Gold.

  1348. Stella is and always has been no good, but the other Belgian beers are pretty damn good. I think the quality of the beer varies inversely with the amount spent on marketing it.

  1354. Geez, you disappear for a month and people are all over the place taking your name in vain.

    I can’t load this page at work anymore. My computer is too slow. I almost named it “Bunk,” but I have way too much class.

  1355. Metro, we didn’t disappear for a month, we are not all over the place, and nobody took your name in vain. Seems to me your load is your problem. Welcome back.

    Aside from grade school, where did you get the bizarre idea that you had class?

  1357. Ah, you’re going to take the word of some uncorroborated site whose business model it is to prove things don’t exist? That’s a vested interest if ever I saw one. And they freely admit that they didn’t examine the object in question themselves, although they had the chance to purchase it for a very reasonable price. That? That is the sound of fear. The fear that their cosy little “debunking” world would come crashing down around them if they dared to actually investigate.

    I could probably find some nutter to claim he invented zebras, and there were really no such things. Would that prove zebras to be a myth? I don’t think so.

    DEMAND PROOF!!! MAINTAIN THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD!!!

  1359. WOW YOU GUYS TALK A LOT AND JUST FOR A FAIRY! I DON’T THINK IT’S REAL. AND IF YOU GUYS DO I THINK YOUR STUPID TO BELIVE THAT. IF YOU SEEN IT IN REAL LIFE AND YOU KNOW WHERE TO SEE IT THEN TELL ME PLEASE, BY THE WAY… YOUR YOU GUYS GROWN UPS, TEENS OR KIDZ?

  1366. Glad you enjoyed it. Did you see the part where we were tossing dirty puns around in Latin? That was a high point. I need either more caffeine or better gin to reach those heights again.

  1367. You were tossing dirty puns around in Latin? Drat, I missed that.

    I didn’t know you studied Latin. Do you have the skirt and everything? Is there a vid?

  1369. The fairies exist. They are responsible for the Miracle on the Hudson, which shows how nice they really are, since several hundred were found mangled in the engines.

  1375. Hmmm, although I feel this is not a real fairy, I believe. And although this is a blog about who believes, and who does not, is the name calling found in the early section of this blog really necessary? If you don’t believe in Faefolk, just say so and move on with your life. There’s no need in bringing male and female genitalia into this, because this is not a blog for that. Oh, and btw, anyone who misspells ‘vagina,’ and then goes back to try to correct themselves, only to misspell the word again: you’ve lost your typing privileges until you can find a dictionary or receive a passing grade in Spelling & Grammar. Got back to the 3rd grade, sweetie. [PS: Today is my birthday, the Faefolk and I are going to celebrate in a Fairy circle dancing the night away.]

  1376. Oh, there’s obviously been a terrible misunderstanding. We are ALL ABOUT the namecalling around these parts, particularly where Albanians are involved, or at certain times of the month. This is a blog for the most remarkable trash-talking, I can assure you. I know the owner.

  1377. Is that so? Well, my apologizes for my ignorance. I guess I missed where the discussion went from ‘Is this real?’ to ‘You cocksucking sonofabitch!’ I’ll be sure to keep that in mind for the length of my visit here on this blog. C=

  1379. Julia, darling, if you wander around the internet telling people what their blogs are about you must expect to get smacked upside the head now and again. Consider it a learning experience.

    And yes, you’ve obviously managed to skip the great Metro/Bunk debates.

  1380. Rain– Last night I realized that I’d never read all the way through this thread. (Mr. Smuggles obviously was off his meds.) Hope that Julia understands that he was a bizarre aberration to an otherwise thoughtful debate.

    Metro & I were having fun, but then you called us on it. How big a traffic spike did you get during “The Faerie Wars of 2008?”

  1381. Unfortunately, not enough. Not nearly enough. My friend Arieanna has over 1500 comments on her post about the Victoria’s Secret fashion show. It’s just not fair! They have wings, fairies have wings, I thought Victoria’s Secret was really popular with Fairies and vice versa!

  1384. Giving up? Oh, hardly! I’m resolved to pimp this thing out on Twitter at least once a day until we pass her. She hasn’t had any comments in months, and obviously we’ve got momentum on our side.

    Am I missing something?

  1400. Bunk, good catch! Someone should report that!

    Ariel, it ill behooves one of your illustrious name to sow seeds of doubt, however tentative. After all, who are you going to believe: The BBC, or some blogger you found on Google?

  1402. I dunno–I’d believe it more if it wasn’t the Beeb. I mean, who trusts fact-based reporting?

    Now if it was on FOX, or maybe the Sports Network … I’d totally believe fairies were sponsored by Coors Light.

  1403. No, I’m with Bunk…there are too many of them actually working at the Beeb. It’s a coverup job.

    Now, who committed the murder? Is this a case of fairy-bashing?

  1404. I must do my part to bring the comment number up. I apologize for coming so late to the discussion. I have just read this entire thread and now my tea is cold. That is how fascinating a read it was, it made me completely forget that I had tea steeping, it also saved me from brooding about the fact that my poor darling husband announced today that he is depressed about his life and doesn’t want to talk about it and when I came back from walking the dog at 8:30 he was in bed. So the Metro/Bunk flamewars were definitely good for something! Thank you all.

    I believe in fairies, also dragons. I have many dragons in my home and they are touchy things go live with. I suspect fairies might be as well. It was gratifying to finally see proof that fairies exist, even though the discoverer has reneged on his discovery, I’m sure that it was under duress.

    I believe! Long live Raincoaster! Long may this thread become, and in record time.

  1405. HMH– Dragons are easy, like dogs. Dogs demand food and attention, but that’s all. Fairies are petulant, like, um, well, fairies. They abhor attention, complain about not getting any, and then get all humpy when you get the badminton set out. You can’t reason with ’em.

  1409. Exactly! That’s the spirit! Buggers have a noted tendency to make off with decorative youths as well, return them eight hundred years later for that Rip Van Winkle cultural dislocation, just for shits and giggles.

    This is a serious Educational Blogge, much appreciated by Ladies, Children and erudite Animals

    It would be matter of Profound Obligation & Gratulation if your Grace could prevail upon the perceptive Monsieur Metro to refrain from using the “Light C….” Expression

    ScHocking – inexcusable when he could have given Guinness a favourable mention

    No wonder there are not more Live Faeries in the Tree-Octopus Forests of Canuckistan, if this is the kind of Beer that they’re expected to imbibe as a Palliative to the Recession

  1412. Isn’t that a first: you read the label of something before drinking it! Good for you.

    Though I wish you’d started doing it earlier–Windshield washer fluid is expensive.

  1413. I submit that light C, nay any “light beer” is not actually beer but diluted piss, most possibly piss from draft horses, and should not be mentioned in the same breath (or blog?) as the hallowed brews such as Guinness.

    Perhaps I am living with a petulant fairy child sneakily snuck into the large brood of children produced by the parents of the person I am presently co-occupying with. That would explain a lot.

    Dragons, being magical on their own account are not averse to peeves and petulance themselves, and considering their fire breathing properties and general largeness can be quite appalling when petlized.

    Not that I would ever doubt a tiny fairy’s ability to make life miserable and create destruction in their wake.

  1415. Maybe HMH was referring to Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat?

    He was WWF, and displayed a certain amount of peeve and petulance during that time. But I think that was in his contract, so I’m not sure it counts.

  1418. ewwwwwww. that is sooooooo gross but kind of cool and the close up! yoi can see its bones oh and i have a question IS IT REAL???????? it looks awesome

  1421. Okay, no doubt I love fairies, but this is overboard. I don’t know if it’s real or not but like somone else said, let it stay in the imagination.

  1435. What kind of shinny things do fairies like? Would those be tibial shinny things or fibular ones? I was unaware that fairies had an obsession with hockey goalie and baseball catcher protective gear. . .

  1436. you guys im a girl and bunk strutts i like the way you think! oh ya rhilipa i don’t care how you spell it it sounds right to me!and i go to bed at nine i am told i have to and i do!you guys don’t talk about the fairy a lot.and im only on on the week ends and raincoaster you act a little like your very smart. how old are you guys?but i have one more thing to say you guys rock! how you guys act like if some one do not think the fairy thing is not real you say some thing to make them think its real!
    I LIKE THAT! IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!? AND ITS WAS DESTINY
    destiny was here

  1438. OMG I SAID AND ITS WAS DESTINY I MEAN THIS WAS DESTINY! GIVE ME A BREAK YOU GUYS! please?! AND I SAI IF THEY DO
    NOT THINK THE FAIRY IS NOT REAL!!! OMG I MEAN IF THEY THINK THE FAIRY IS REAL! or i think that is what i mean to say i don’t know you tell me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1443. Next time, bother to use old goose feathers, or raven feathers, heck, any feathers, but not decomposed oak leaves. Hey, anyone ever actually seen a bird?

  1445. I might have had my doubts if it hadn’t been for the presence of the Police Evidence baggie in the photography. Suddenly my skepticism vanished. Good work uncovering this, raincoaster.

  1447. So all a scientist would have to do to test if your fairy is real or fake would be to take a strand of hair from the head and test it for DNA. If it comes back human than its probably a prank. If it comes back something else, well then I would image that you might have yourselves a real fairy.

  1454. Fuckers! Why, there’s one out on my patio right this minute! The raccoons turned his head to the wall, but that means nothing to the metaphysical beings.

    I see I need an exorcist!

  1457. You guy’s need a life i beleave in aliens sum what but FAIRY’S please only on my wall they are real.hahahahahaha…..GET A LIFE……..

  1463. 1452 – wasn’t that the year before Constantinople was liberated and 40 years before the Mexicans discovered Columbus

    If the perceptive Senor Strutts is right, how can we be sure that no clam was hurt in the making of this Post

  1467. wow I THOUGHT THIS WAS 4 REAL!! no way its fake i say they did a good job!! but its kinda creepy!!! :, really sigh!:(

  1468. god you guys are idiots aye fairies are NOT true ok. believe in something else like ghosts and all that. i’ve been in a fairy ring at night time and i DIDN’T SEE ANY FAIRIES

  1469. You guys have to grow up and get a life aye. i’ve seen ghosts and other freaky things ok. fairy’s were probably alive many many years ago when the gods were first introduced you know hercules yeah but it is best that you only imagine them and don’t say nefin 2 anyone because people might think you are loopy and shit so yeah just listen to my advice and believe in something else. N hey you know that there are more than one god kos the black hole leads into many other galaxies so why just beieve in one god when there are many more.

  1470. You don’t believe in fairies because you were in a fairy circle once and you didn’t see them? But you didn’t see me either, did you? And I’m right here. Explain that one.

  1479. Funny, she’s in the same position as Ötzi was found. :)
    Congrats to the creators! Good job! I wish I was such a good miniature maker…

  1487. Pingback: Fairy Evidence Discovered! « raincoaster

  1489. While the pictures are fascinating and the story an honest wish come true (apart from the fairy being dead of course) the best part of this blog has got to be the comments.
    Such witty debate/combacks.

    And I do believe in fairies. I do, I do~

  1493. Wow, this is a REALLY long debate! Ha ha ha! It’s a really authentic looking picture! I hope it isn’t a fake: It would be SO cool if fairies exist! i believe in fairies. When i was a little girl, me and my freinds used to play games and pretend we were faries! I still believe in them. Well, i was actually looking for pictures of Nessie and for some random reason i found this! Ha ha ha! Well, i hope faries are discovered and protected some day! XXX

  1494. Protected??? WHAT A FABULOUS IDEA! Yes, we should contact teh World Wildlife Federation and get Sting to do a telethon or Saint Bob Geldof to do a concert. Yeah, that’s a brilliant idea!

  1496. Super! When can we expect fairies to become a protected species? They’ve been in danger of dying out for over a century, as the great playwright Barry made clear in his magnum opus, “Peter Pan.”

  1500. I definitely believe in fairies and I strongly support your endeavours to have the Little People protected. I look forward to reading a policy statement intended to provide a guide for stakeholders in determining whether any proposed action is likely to have a significant impact on the FF in temperate and semi-arid areas across the current and historic range.

  1501. Hmm, the impact of global warming on fairy populations. It’s been mentioned in this thread before. A conspiracy, perhaps? There is so much to think about.

    Az: what can you expect from a bureaucrat?

  1502. HAHAHA!!! This is so fake, it’s not even funny!
    Why do people waste their time tyring to trick people into this crap??! It’s utterly absurd.

  1505. Re: FairiesRFake’s comment: Could it be? After reading his/her/its clear logic, I’m beginning to have doubts. What if this really IS a hoax/hosejob and we’ve been defending it all this time? Oh man…

  1506. I became uncontrollably excited when I saw my comment count on this post was at 1505, but sadly that was a fakeout; no doubt the faeries/fairies up to their old tricks! Leprechaun gold…faierie comments…same old same old!

  1507. A married couple in their sixties are visited by a fairy, who grants them both a wish.

    “I want to travel around the world with my husband”, said the wife, and two plane tickets magically appear in her hand.

    The husband says: “sorry love, but my wish is to have a wife thirty years younger than me”, so the fairy waves her wand and the husband turns ninety.

    The moral of the story: men who are ungrateful bastards should remember fairies are female, as this one clearly is.

  1508. A married couple are visited by a fairy, who grants them each a wish. The husband wishes his wife had bigger boobs, and the wife wishes her husband had a bigger swantz.

    The fairy grants them their wishes.

    That night, at the stroke of twelve, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barney Frank all materialize in the couple’s bedroom and discuss prosecuting them for imaginary transgressions against THE PARTY.

  1510. G. Eagle, as always a pleasure to welcome you back to the blog and this thread. Even if I must do so with a dictionary in one hand.

    Bunk: I don’t know, that sounds like QUITE a party to me!

    Karl, thank you. Yes, something to keep in mind, definitely.

  1515. Miriam: perhaps you are on to something. This could be the remains of a Rill Fairy. One of the most elusive variants. It isn’t very common that a rill is large enough for a ring of mushrooms to grow in (that would usually require a gully or an even a streambed), but it IS possible that is where this fairy came from. I would like to look into your hypothesis further, but I would need to know what from the picture first brought you to this notion? It’d really help as a starting point for the research.

  1516. I am so, so very proud to be presenting the foremost resource for the proper classification of the wild Devonshire fairy. Truly, the scholarship in these comments is remarkable and inspiring. Surely the same collegial, intellectual atmosphere pervaded Los Alamos in the early days.

  1517. Actually I understand that Los Alamos is the very place that a lampshade was first worn on a head during the weekly “brainstorming” sessions. I won’t go into the nitty-gritty, but it is no coincidence that removing one’s trousers while wearing a lampshade is known as “Oppenheimer’s Folly.”

  1525. You’re totally Capt. Apathy of the RCN Indifference when it comes to being competative.

  1526. Good God. Tink’s remains were scraped off teh undercarriage of a Toro Mower and the discussion has devolved into a discussion of competivityness. I’m gonna get a haircut tomorrow.

  1530. You know, I just realized there is no scale on the picture, nor anything to judge by in it. This could be a female gelfling!

  1532. Well, you can see the size of the body bag, although you can’t really judge what kind of hands those are; it could be a giant!

    Bunk, you’re getting a Dorothy Hamill? Awesome. Pix or it didn’t happen (you KNOW we’re all about the evidence here).

  1533. I guess I’m out of the loop… didn’t realize that there was such a thing as a reverse mullet. Let’s go back to Dorothy. Is that the witch’s Dorothy? I don’t think she had a mullet, regular, reverse or inverse. What’s the one that Grampa Munster had? I want that.

  1536. Did the Sluggo thing in elementary school, Prince Valiant in HaSkoo. It morphed into a Joey Ramone/Frank Zappa in college; later it receded into a mashup of Moe Howard/Flock of Seagulls/Mark Trail. Ever since then I’ve left it up to the local Viet Namese barbers.

  1538. It’s been nearly a year since I had a haircut (the last was rather traumatic, and the post about that horror show is still doing well on Google) except one done by me at three in the morning over the bathroom sink. Those don’t count unless they’re so drastic people assume you were drunk, right?

  1539. I’ve always thought those were the ones that didn’t count. The “so-bad-it’s-good haircuts” are kinda like shooting the moon.

  1542. Dear Mr. Raincoaster,

    Thank you for contacting the Federal Faerie Preservation Society (FFPS)regarding our work with species preservation. We appreciate your kind offer to volunteer, and hope that you continue to support our efforts to assist endangered species and to preserve the environment for future generations.

    However, we must inform you that your contribution was not received in a timely manner. This has resulted in the well-publicized demise of a significant number of chimaera, including wood faeries. Faeries do not have a voice: please give them one by contributing today.

    Cordially,

  1545. Well you would have known had you gone down to their office and seen the notice posted on the break-room cork-board that the agency name was changing. I mean it’s been posted there for six months, just under the ad for the Gibson guitar somebody has been trying to sell for the last four months.

  1546. Dear Mr. Raincoaster,

    Thank you for your generous donation of $10.00 per month.

    Please forward your contribution promptly such that we may continue to preserve the Faerie Species for all the worlds’ children’s children to enjoy for generations to come.

    It would be a shame to see such magnificent creatures wither away, to suffer for days, months, only to die out, when we have the solution for their preservation so cose at hand.

    Please consider increasing the amount of your monthly contribution. We may be able to avert this modern ecological holocaust, but only with your kind and generous help.

    Cordially,

  1549. Those wings look so fake but the body does look somewhat real, I give 8.4/10 for trying.
    Fairies eat cotton candy these days because it’s so sweet and full of sugar!

  1558. No shit, those damn Nosferatu-Nuts have had several TV shows too!

    wait…we have beer?

  1559. They do exist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

  1560. @valarmo– Yeah, it’s in the natural ice pit in the back, but now you gotta hack a path since varvara planted the exclamapointweeds. Warning, though: don’t take the Molson’s and replace it with Bud Lite. People will get all humpy and stuff.

    rain– The ice pit’s still open, right?

  1564. this is not legit at all. the creator even said it was a work he had created to see if people still believed in faeries. It was sold on Ebay for 280 pounds and is now in the art collection of a man in the United States.

  1568. Bunk – They do when they wear their battle armor constructed entirely of unobtainium. Those wings are stronger than they look!

    I’ll make my way to the icepit, my bush-whacking skills could use some boning up on. …and replace the Molson’s with WHAT?!?! I take offense at such accusations.

    I’d replace it with Oly Gold.

    Rain – “AAATTGCCCTTGGACTTGAT” First twenty base pairs of fairy genome discovered by me, cheif researcher into Fairy And unKnown’s Eugenics. It’d help if I could get an actual tissue sample though as that run closely resembles the BPs I came up with for aboreal octopii genome.

  1569. If you could obtain a fairy DNA sample from Perez Hilton’s vital organs, I think the gay community of LA would make you a very, very wealthy man. Provided the wound was large enough to be fatal.

  1572. No doubt about it, those are fairies, not unlike the souther coastal fairies that continue to plague us here.. I have a spray for them

  1574. AND it’s such shame that apparently they are so highly valued by Tree Octopodia as a culinary delicacy which is free of Coors Lite Beer, as an alternative to over-blubbered American Tourists

  1577. @michelle– Your assertion that “everyone knows fairies are only the size of dragon flies” is false, therefore the rest of your comment cannot be trusted for accuracy.

  1578. that thing doesn’t even look real! the wings look like leaves, and the body’s proportions do not look real at all. just look at those legs! looks like something i made out of playdoh last week…

  1579. I just noticed something else. the 2nd picture features the “fairy” in an alleged forensic scientist’s hands. but the truth is, forensic scientists doing an autopsy in a lab would never pick up and hold the body/evidence like that. I’m sure everyone knows that, so I don’t have to explain anything more.

  1580. Ha, the ridiculous claim of someone who’s bluffing. How many forensic scientists have you actually seen at work on a dead fairy? EH? Answer me that! And no, CSI:Palm Springs doesn’t count!

  1581. @Principessa– Your assertion that “forensic scientists doing an autopsy in a lab would never pick up and hold the body/evidence like that†is false, as they might pick it up if they absolutely had to. Therefore the rest of your opinion is specious as well.

  1582. Not only that, but I’d like to know her qualifications for critical analysis of forensic scientists. I am of the opinion she’s pulling it out her ass and, as you know, we are far too skeptical to fall for that around these parts.

  1585. Rain– I noticed that the androgynous Ashley Beagle’s insightful comment anagrams to:

    “So, A Short Shittier Deed: Is Genuflect a Jug Cab? I Risk Pork.”

    Extrapolation requested.

  1586. “So, A Short Shittier Deed: Is Genuflect a Jug Cab? I Risk Pork.â€

    Good catch, Bunk. Here’s the scoop (although various international security agencies will not be happy I’ve revealed this):

    After an extensive analysis of this thread sometime last Fall, I and my advisors came to the conclusion that it was being used to transmit coded messages among the Transnational Repressionary Occidental Littlepeoples Legion Society, or TROLLS. It took weeks to break their code, but we isolated ourselves under a mountain in Connemara and, after a long struggle, succeeded in cracking it.

    We have been watching these comments closely ever since.

    The selection you so cleverly isolated, “So, A Short Shittier Deed: Is Genuflect a Jug Cab? I Risk Pork” means nothing more nor less than “Stir the pot in Iran and make sure to stamp out everyone on Twitter with green avatars; they are in solidarity with the Iranian Fairies.”

    Note: Ahmadinejad has repeatedly said there are no fairies in Iran. You and I? We know better.

  1589. I’m beginning to wonder: the celebrities are dropping like flies. Could they be innocent victims caught in the crossfire of the fairy/meerkat conflict?

  1594. Cutsey little standy-uppy weasel-lookin’ Michael Jackson and Zsa Zsa Gabor-poisoning meercats, that’s who.

    BUT WHY DID THEY HAVE TO KILL KARL MALDEN TOO???

  1597. Ed McMahon was involved in the Jerry Lewis telethons for decades…and have you ever looked at the young Jerry Lewis very closely? Doesn’t he resemble a certain cutesy, weaselly creature with which we’re all familiar. Sometimes their alien leaders don’t give them very good disguises.

    I’m not saying Ed McMahon was a meerkat. I’m saying Ed McMahon was a Fifth Columnist, working on their side. They took him back just as their Operation Celebrity Rapture began.

  1599. Bruce – how dare you question my assumption that ” everyone knows that fairies are the size of dragon flies”. It is indeed factually my assumption – I am assuming it and as a matter of fact it is my assumption

  1600. I finally had time to look up morphology om wikipedia – and can now comment –
    raincoater you make a good point if the pictute does not match current fairy MORPHOLOGY than the theory of it being a mutant giant fairy is valid

  1601. @Michelle– [to Bruce?]”How dare you question my assumption that everyone knows that fairies are the size of dragon flies.â€

    My point was that you can’t possibly know everyone, let alone know what every single person in the GlowBall Com-Unity knows about fairies; therefore your argument (and your innocent assumption) is null and void from the start.

    There is potential for your theory, though, but you need to provide proof of fairy mutation/acromegaly. That’s gonna be a tough nut to crap.

  1603. You’re all on crack if you think the world is being invaded by Giant Mutant Fairies. There is no need to just make shit up, please. We are having a rational discussion here, an evidence-based examination of the possibility of the existence of fairies and the rising global meerkat conspiracy. Let’s just stick to the FACTS.

  1607. Do you think it’s imaginary??? Look, there are pictures of it; are you saying that’s a Photoshop? Of course it’s real. It was even offered for sale on eBay.

  1611. Your Grace

    When told “This is totally legit”, why do I find myself anxiously checking my Wallet

    Your Grace’s obedient Servant etc

  1613. G E- because it’s already in your hands as you have no pockets within which to keep it?

    rere4444 – Claiming that people suffering from acromegaly actuall have a psychosomatic issue is insensative. A lot of the time it is brought about by a tumor of some sort.

  1615. wow people u need to get a grip cant u just think that maybe fairy’s roamed the earth a one point in time and there most likely still out there alive and u might think i need to get a grip on life but people don’t believe in spirits but we no there out there our kids could be talking to there imaginary friends and u might think aw that’s cute but they could be talking to a ghost because children have more of a mind that believes in any thing some one tells them

  1617. Buon Giorno, Signor Ashley

    As Trinity should have said to Neo :

    It’ not the Punctuation nor the Grammar that drives us

    It’s the need for all of us to get a Grippe on Life …. and on our Wallets

    Wah, Aah doo declay-are, Miss Scarlett

    Even her Britannic Majesty’s Government has begun to realize that it’s running out of our Money to spend on Worthwhile Projects like Moats, Duck-Houses, taxi-fares for the (now former) Speaker’s Wife and her Cleaner when they go shopping

  1618. Fairies used to thrive in those duck houses. Dozens of fairies will now be homeless (how many fairies can dance on the head of a duck? More than you’d think, without him noticing in the slightest). What is Gordo’s plan to house these wandering Little People (and presumable constituents).

  1620. Your Grace

    Heil Blair
    Euro-Präsident-Elect
    Bringer of Peace to the Middle-East
    etc, etc

    Your Grace & those Fellow Colonials & ex-Colonials should appreciate the benefits of Britisch Rule in the 21st Century

    For the last 12 years, Herr Gordo le Grand & Mellifluent has managed the British Economy with SAGE wResponsibility & Great pSuccess

    … and he is now pressing that kindly Mr Obama und the frightening Frau Merkel to be sensible about flooding the World with bogus Dollar & Euro Banknotes

    Just think how high UK unEmployment statistics would be if Gordo (Saviour of the Universe) had not been so brilliant at multiplying ways of concealing JOBlessNess

    Why, his unGrateful Ministers have so massively improved British Education with enHanced SchPelling Tests to efficaciously increase SchPelling Scores which would reassure Ashley & Angel about their challenging letters

    We can be confident how deeply Gordo the Sensitive Communicator feels for the fates of British Fairies who, if driven from the shores of what was in Shakespeare’s time, “the envy of many less happier lands” would be exposed to Monsieur Metro’s “milk” saucers & the predations of Tree Oktopodia in British Columbia’s Rain Forests

    BUT he is generously willing to give credit to his kindly policy of caring for Fairies & the Aged & the Poor & Infirm and improving their Life-Chances to another dashing American (or was he a Canadian) who so sagaciously opined :

    “Frankly, my Dear

    I don’t give a Damn”

    I remain your Grace’s obedient servant etc

  1624. They have teeth mice here in Spain. It sorta freaks me out, to be honest. I have no idea why a tooth-hoarding faerie is OK with me but a mouse doing the same thing is somehow perverse. I think it’s because he doesn’t leave money.

  1625. You know, looking at the way that fairy has her hair seemingly tied around her neck, she may have been “hangin” (pardon the pun) with David Carradine just before she expired.

  1626. wow questa è una prova in più per credere alle fate !! io ci credevo anche non vedendo questa fata ritrovata !! ma ora ci credo il doppio !! viva le fate !!

  1628. wow questa è una prova in più per credere alle fate !! io ci credevo anche non vedendo questa fata ritrovata !! ma ora ci credo il doppio !! viva le fate !!

    Fata, fate = fairy, fairies

    Wow this is a test in more than believing in fairies!! I believed even without also having seen this re=found fairy !! But now I believe doubly !! Long live, the fairies!!

  1631. Well, what can you expect: not ONE direct link to this post. I hardly think the story can be covered adequately without a link to this post, do you?

  1634. Brilliant, thank you. It’s hardly fair to let them wallow in unsubstantiated repudiations; how do we know that recantation was not obtained under torture? And how can you take the word of an admitted fraudster? Honestly, does no-one CARE about the SCIENTIFIC METHOD anymore?

  1638. omg, these can’t be real, gosh, quit tryin to trick everyone, and I’m NOT a Godless heathen! I’d like to see the person that calls me that! God is my Lord! hmph

  1639. I do believe in fairies, but don’t you think it is rather odd that the press and he pres. hasn’t gotten to this yet? Very strange, hmm, that’s the only reason why I think this is just a trick

  1642. this “finding” would under no reasonable circumstances be considered police evidence…so maybe not so official huh? This is interestingly faked, but u guys are full of shit.

  1648. Excusez Moi, Senor Bunk

    This may be an entirely understandable opinion for a persecuted Scorpion or a tasty Kalahari Worm to express

    BUT

    With their voracious appetites, RacCcoons are scarcely in a position to utter pejorative observations about Meerkats, just because they favour (err …. favOr) the Republican Approach to Life

  1649. Ah, but who ever heard of a raccoon conspiring against a fairy? Nobody. Any such allegations are, at this point, completely unsubstantiated, whereas we’ve seen in this very thread the subtle workings of the Great Meerkat Conspiracy.

  1652. I’ve seen one before.. and he doesn’t look like the mummified one shown here aside from the size though…

    It happened around 7 – 8 in the morning of December, I can still remember how he looks like… orange hair, he’s wearing a striped shirt (alternate blue and black), he’s holding a sword like thing and its black and its shape is like a closed umbrella… And its easy to tell that he’s a guy… They look very much the same like us humans except from the size of course…

    the reason why I saw him is because I felt something weird on my hand… I thought it was a mosquito but when I try to move my hand away from my face I saw him, he’s pinching me using his small black sword. Then he stepped back cuz he notice that I caught him in the act and after an instance he’s gone… and even until now I always ask my self why is that thing pinching me… for what reason I still don’t know but I’ll try to find out… And the thing is it doesn’t end there… I can hear them all the time, they always comment on my thoughts and ideas… it seems like they are playing with my mind or maybe they are afraid that I will tell people about this and that is what I am doing now… they’re trying to make me go insane day by day but the God given free will that I have is so strong that’s why I’m still here and able to tell the tale…

    I’m looking for someone who can help me surpass this situation that I have… I’m a very strong person but they are more powerful than I and I’m so helpless and vulnerable to them…

    I’m looking for ways on how to defend myself at least and somehow…

    Here’s my email([edited out by raincoaster because you shouldn’t post your email on a blog unless you love getting spam])you can contact me if you experience the same thing or what not or if you have solutions… I’m willing to pay any amount…

    Regards,
    Jeembo

  1653. @Jeembo:
    Dude–that wasn’t a fairy. You were clearly attacked by a Nac Mac Feegle!

    Understandably, you mistook the dirty blue hide for a black-and-blue jersey. But you vividly recall the red hair. Congratulations on surviving the encounter!

  1659. How do fairies live, and ware can you find them specifically because that would seem like a good hobby to do for fun, and if I am lucky 1 day actually see one. A take its picture.
    I was reading on one of the comments you left I that the fairy died because it wasn’t loved?

    -paige

  1660. Well, that’s what nearly happened to Tinkerbell. I’m figuring if indifference is deadly to fairies, we’ve saved many, MANY lives with this comment thread.

    Obviously, you can find them in Derbyshire, where they are not loved. Wonder how many are left?

  1663. “Made in China” Oh yeah, I bet she WAS, every Saturday night.

    It’s appalling that in this day and age true fairies have to hide while these tinsel-bedecked golems are worshipped in lower middle class, tchochke-bedecked homes around the world.

  1668. well i strongly beleive in faires just because there is proof i understand dosent mean its real but r u serious?
    look at that.blah blah ” That bears no resemblance whatsoever to Quentin Crisp! Fraud” r u serious dont get all serious r u kidding its right in front of your face if your gonna leave a commet leave one that makes sense dude.

  1669. “Just because there’s proof doesn’t mean it’s real”

    Are YOU for real? Because we have no patience on this blog for nonsensical people who are just out to waste our time. None at all. Nosir.

  1671. Pingback: #TwitLight: Who are you, @raincoaster? « carocat.co.uk

  1674. i love fairies i can’t really tell that it’s fake
    and how could you make something so small and delicate
    and it looks fake cause it’s old

    THAT’S MY OPINION!!!!!!

  1676. The creator of this model admitted it, later on the day of original publishing, that it was an April Fool’s joke. He does say that he believes in fairies, and was pleasantly surprised at the response from believers, but this particular “fossil” is simply a trick of some fabric and doll parts.

    You can find the article by searching “fairy” in Google images and the first hit that comes up tells the story.

  1677. Oh no; once again we have someone who simply takes the word of an admitted liar. When will the world see the point of the Scientific Method? When will the world bow to logic, to proof? Must we wander in a morass of superstition and supposition forever more?

  1678. I beleive in fairies and i always have. this may have said it was a hoax, but i believe in this. it’s hardcore proof.

  1680. just throwing this out there…if it waz a “fairy” the wings would not be there, for the wings are not made of bone but a
    fethery like material or like what a bugs wings are made of. But what im getting at is that the outline of the wings would not be there the bone; maybe, but not the wings outline.
    ~FAKE~

  1681. I’m not entirely convinced: do you have an existing post-mortem of a fairy with which to substantiate your claim that the wings are either feathery or bug-like? As always, we require proof of assertions.

  1686. MEOWMEOwILUHDUHPUSSY what are you talking about? What 1/2 and what other? The bag and gloves are real for sure!

  1687. John Russo, just how do you know what fairies wings are made of? Who says that they go by the natural law of decomposition anyway! They are mythical creatures. Unless you can prove what the wings are made of, then don’t comment just to make yourself sound smart.

  1692. Oh yeah Grace, why don’t you stay on AOL Chat or something where talking like that will make all the 10 year olds think your cool!!!

  1695. For everyone saying it’s fake because the wings look like leaves, DUH it’s a Flower Fairy(spinosissima orioles). What should the wings be made of, rocks or something! Do some research!!!

  1699. What should you start an article with, this is really, truly, and completely fake? Let’s take a vote. Which one would be more likely to be read: A fake moon rock was found in Washington D.C. or A totally legit live gummi bear was found on the outskirts of Poland? You probably weren’t too good at term papers huh datsun?

  1700. do you believe in majic cause i do!!!!!!! this just proves that there is more out there than just us. god mad us all with his majic!! how can you question what we know in our hearts is real! with out majic life wouldnt exist so believe in majic cause god is majic and these are his children too!!!!!!!!!

  1701. Yeah, Becuz Sumwhere iiN Dha Bible He Sayz How He Made All FaiiRies Equal..LMAO

    KiiD ii Bet There iiZ Sum type Of supernatural Powerz Out there But Letz BE Real About ThiiZ…!

  1702. Yes, G-Smartz could hardly SchPell more unmemorably

    – the wholesome outcome of US Primary Schools, whose achievements include Mr Armstrong’s First Visit to the Moon (with its US Flag blowing in the Wind) and Master Shrub Jnr’s Democratic Triumph in 2000, where he had 55% of the Vote to Mr Gore’s miserable 44%

    Indeed, in the earliest Old-World reference to Racoons, the Latin Poet Vergil rose thus to similar heights of eloquence in line 81, book 8, Aeneid :

    Ecce autem monstrum subitum et oculis mirabile
    [Lo however a racoon sudden and to the eyes marvellous]

    Even at the Greatest Extent of their Puissance, the Romans worried about their Empire and the Menace threatened to themselves and endangered Species like Tree Oktopodia & Derbyshire Faeries, if the Racoons were recruited to the Great Meerkat Conspiracy

  1706. why does it say “2 inch remains” and then in the pic it shows someone holding it in both of their hands, clearly bigger than 2 inches…? dont contradict yourself. lol cool pics though :)

  1708. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH…. FAIRIES….. aye dey found tink….. maybe theyll find peter pan…. and never land…. and oooh….. ooooooooooh…… i wonder if they will ever find unicorn remains…. or better yet…. a live unicorn….

  1709. Re: Ludeawakening89
    “A totally legit live gummi bear was found on the outskirts of Poland?”

    Dang! I missed that story. Gummi bears, hmm. I shoulda known they were tied up in all this. Cutesy little sticky/squeezy-lookin’ bastards.

    And regarding Virgil, he hated raccoons because they kicked his ass up and down the parish, not once but numerous times. Virgil backed off after that, became a hermit and started inventing poetry. The raccoons let him off easy IMO.

  1713. Ah, another skeptic. Without proof, your disbelief is nothing more than superstitious negation of something obviously proven beyond the shadow of a doubt. You could have purchased the body yourself and done an autopsy. Nothing could be more open, or more obvious, than the reality of this poor, shriveled corpse.

    trent, thanks! I’ll get there! I’ll get there!

  1716. It was a simple reference to Simon. He might meet the pieman at the fair.

    Noticed that this thread is not appearing in my comments feed anymore, so I figgered it was a dead thread. But NoOOoo…

  1717. Alrite..Ive read a lot of dumb things on the internet, but this takes the cake! You guys honestly beleive that faries are real?!? Wow. I have a Suggestion. GET A LIFE! And stop trying to convince other people that faries are real! If you think its soooooooooo important, you must think it will change the world! What’s it gonna do? end world hunger? stop the war? find a cure for cancer? NO!! So get a job, Get some friends, and remember! FARIES.ARENT.REAL.(:

  1718. See:
    “FARIES.ARENT.REAL.(:”

    That’s the giveaway. Meerkats cannot spell, use punctuation, or do smilies correctly to save their lives. If you can draw them out long enough, they ALWAYS make that mistake.

  1719. Could be that Josie is referring to FarIs in the Rasta vernacular, but it’s hard to tell since she(?) has obviously spent hours combing through this thread to come up with such an unfounded conclusion.

    Reading through the proofs on this thread could compel any sentient being to resort to head banging on any convenient hard surface nearby, and I know this via first hand experience.

    I flatter myself that I agree with le Sagacious Monsieur Bunk on so many things

    …. apart of course on whether the Governator of California should be asked to swop jobs with the Kindly Gordon Brown, Saviour of the Universe’s Financial System

    … or Gordon would be the Saviour if only those brainy anti-soviet German, French, American, Japanese, Chinese, Botswanans, Tongans etc had the wisdom to follow Mr Clunking-Fisted Brown’s advice on QE

    BUT surely enLightenment can be soughtnover the mystery of the erudite, perceptive and most welcome Josie’s Suggestions by applying Occam’s Razor — seeking the simplest solution

  1721. Negitory, good buddy. Looks like you’ve been drinking meerkat-tainted kool-aid: the Unicorns and the Fairies are united against the Meerkats. Cthulhu’s position in this is, as always, uncertain. The Great Meerkat Conspiracy attempts to repress knowledge of Unicorns and Fairies and thus to deprive them of fundamental freedoms. A popular writer of the last century did an allegorical novel on the conflict, set in a farm in the English countryside. Wish I could remember what it was called…

  1723. OMG! This is thing has gone on for sometime. And I actually read it. Amazing… I know!
    But for the whole fairies and what not.
    I mean why not believe they are real?
    Everyone needs a little bit of faith in your life.
    It would be like slapping a small child and telling it not to have dreams. Come on people.
    Believe.
    And it shall become.

  1726. Again, yet again, an unsubstantiated claim with nothing whatsoever to back it up. We didn’t just fall off the turnip truck, you know. You’ve got to have PROOF, scientific PROOF before we believe you around these parts.

  1727. Whoa. But I fell off the turnip truck. Twice, and that negates the first time by a factor of two. Just because you didn’t doesn’t make you an authority by default.

    But Joe obviously hasn’t experienced the zen of the turnip vehicle disembarkment yet, so cut the ignoramus some slack.

  1728. perileri çok severim ama böyle peri görmedim ,ona zarar veren herhangibir kişi ise çok kötü olduğu belli.bence bu periyi biri korkutmuş onun için peri de bayılmış ve açlıktan da bu hale gelmiş olabilir.

  1729. bu peri yüz yıl öncede ölmüş olabilir ve bilim adamları veya insanlar bulmuş ve bilim adamlarına göstermiş olabilir,bu nedenle bilim adamları iğice araştırıp resimlerini çekip yolamışlardır.bence bu periyi kim buldu?sorusuna cevap vermek çok kolay ama bu peri kaç yaşında olabilir?bu sorunun cevabını bilim adamlarından bekliyorum

  1731. AHA! The Turks are here!

    Hoş geldiniz! Biz peri Kartoum eteklerinde bulundu inanıyoruz. Muhtemelen Meerkats tarafından öldürüldü. Soruşturma devam ediyor Nisan 2007 beri.

    Sila responds:

    this fairy in a hundred years ago may have died, and scientists or people have found and scientists may be displayed, so scientists investigate the affairs of the device take pictures, and this fairy yolamışlardır.bence find who was that? answer to the question is very simple, but this fairy may be how old? the answer to the Waiting for scientists.

  1732. Merhaba [G’day], your Grace

    As usual, these Sagacious Raccoons are so multi=lingually well-informed

    BUT how can one gently suggest to the honest & worthy Joe, that (like Jeeves) perhaps he could profitably engage in some study of Spinosa

    This would afford an illustration that even Anglo-Saxon Empiricists and Evolutionists from the Middle-Colonies should not believe everything they read

    Allahismarladik [Ciao]und tot siens

  1733. Bunk, I don’t know what’s up with our two Turkish friends other than they’re obviously having problems formatting links to their porn sites properly.

    And I’m not sure, but I THINK they recommended sawing the scientists in half and counting their rings. Can’t hurt is what I say!

  1734. Oh how wonderful would it be… little fairies among us just like in those fairy tales that take us to far away lands!

    I would grow a garden just for them to visit. But… reality bites, this world is one very much far from a place far far away… isn’t it

  1738. yeah whatevs i would like to believe it… but i need some real facts first. cold hard evidence you know? something we could actually have public access to?

  1739. by the way raincoaster… you sound like a pretty cool person… and i just want to say I do believe in fairies, I am just having a really hard time tellig whether or not that picture is real or not… you know?

  1740. SPONGE BOB SQUARE PANTS! okay that was random lol anyway i think they do exist but there just hiding u really need to look

  1741. My neighbor told me he’s a fairy, that’s how I know they’re real. ‘Cause I actually met one.

    That fellow way…… up top there looks like something from the 80’s. Just sayin’.

  1743. WELL i think its real i mean…ALL the stories and fairytails HAD to come from somewhere right????????

  1745. uhm bringing science into this if fairy was to have hallow bones where it’s marrow is making white blood cells it is this thing would not live past it’s first day out of the womb 0.o

  1747. So hows this fairy shit work on getting the girls i bet you got your degree online and have never had a girl friend because no one that matters in this world cares a god dam shit in fairies or any other thing that we have don’t have prof on. I mean common a kid could forge that fairy photo you get a police evidence bad somewhere on eabay or something and latex gloves are sold everywhere you dumb ass. I hope you shrivel up and die you fairy believing peace of shit. Oh oh no all the fairies are dead because i don’t believe that much, they should be because if god kills them off because we don’t believe in them there not that very fucking important in the first place. Jesus sorry for the language.

  1750. “A baby primate” oh yes? And your proof for this assertion is what, exactly? That you’ve studied something for years obviously doesn’t mean you’ve picked up logical thinking or a demand that statements be backed up with proof!

    Why, the assertion that there are primates in Devonshire is itself alarming and unproven!

  1751. So hows this fairy shit work on getting the girls i bet you got your degree online and have never had a girl friend because no one that matters in this world cares a god dam shit in fairies or any other thing that we have don’t have prof on. I mean common a kid could forge that fairy photo you get a police evidence bad somewhere on eabay or something and latex gloves are sold everywhere you dumb ass. I hope you shrivel up and die you fairy believing peace of shit. Oh oh no all the fairies are dead because i don’t believe that much, they should be because if god kills them off because we don’t believe in them there not that very fucking important in the first place. Jesus sorry for the language.

  1752. this is a proven hoax guys not a gov cover up and ya there are probably still some unidentfied species but this was a prank by a master artist :/ sorry guys dont believe everything you read on the internet the “remains” are in a master art museum the guy loves to do april fool jokes sorry guys ya some of you will still deny the truth but open your eyes the wings are off <3 sorry

  1753. NonBeliever: your comment will be given all the consideration which is its due, of that you may be assured.

    Bella, how’s Edward? And again, AGAIN with the unsubstantiated claims. You say you have proof it’s fake. Okay, fine; prove it. Where’s this proof of which you speak? Who is this shadowy “Master Forger?”

    We have, as you can see, zero tolerance for unsubstantiated, random claims by internet personalities.

  1754. this is bs not real one u can get gloves anywhere an a police evident bag you would be surprised how easy it is to get one of those this is photo shopped

  1758. Gosh…Why do so many of you doubt that fairies are real?I, for one,believe.After seeing two pictures of faries my best friend took,seeing almost ten real pictures from books, three on the internet[including these]I TOTALLY BELIEVE!Who wouldn’t want to believe in these amazing creatures?They help the envirment,and bring joy to us.My best friend,Evie[the one who took the pictures]has seen them and has had actual REAL conversations with them!She once wrote a letter to her tooth fairy and she got a letter back!It was written in the tinyest cursive!And for those of you who don’t know,everybody’s got their own tooth fairy.Evie’s is Marigold.

  1762. Sorry,I think Evie lost it.But I do know that if you buy the book Farypolis,Return to Fairypolis,or The Secret World of Faries,you can see all kinds of stuff.They have pictures
    diary entries,letters,pages from stories,it’s like their big scraptbook just waiting to be opened to reveal the truth to our curiousity.Sometimes I think Evie might be lying,but I believe in faries,and I know Evie would never lie to me.

  1763. Raincoaster,I’ve got a question that I just can’t answer myself,even with the research I’ve done:Are faries related to angels?

  1765. I started with the news from Yahoo! about some rich guys including Steve Jobs with big paychecks and ended up with this magical post. Laughing aggressively out loud.

    Well, anyways, about my opinion about the magical world… Haven’t you ride a donkey before? It holds the key to all your questions.

    Extra: I think Cthulhu is related with Steve Jobs and Steve Jobs is related with fairies.

  1770. “…unless those hands are superass tiny.”

    There’s a bizarre description. Huge weakness. Jumbo shrimp. A small catastrophe. A little atrocity. A quiet cacophony. Artificial global warming. A huge dessicated fairy. And the beat goes on, according to the late Sonny Bono.

  1771. I believe in fairies, in magic, and that there are things in this world that exist without our noticing. My name isn’t really Rima Mashiro, she’s a character from the anime Shugo Chara.
    Truth to suffice, it could be a fake, or it could be real, but if you truly believed, that would be insignificant information. Little kids have the best faith, in my opinion, because they aren’t ruined with responsiblity, and what is ‘scientifically possible’. It’s like they believe in the tooth fairy/mouse, santa, the easter bunny and in anything else they choose to.
    Dragons actually did exist, and if dragons exist, maybe a whole communtity of other creatures exist. Maybe you have to truly believe to see them, and be pure of heart.
    I’ve seen a fairy portal before, they’re quite common to see at sunset, along with lights going in and out. I also have the ability to talk to guardian angels, and predict small things in the future (useful with coin flips).
    Why can I see and communicate with fairies? Because I’m gifted and I believe. I can see auras, and see into the future. It is also common to find fairies trapped in sea shells, and if you release them, they will bestow good luck on you.
    I don’t abuse the fairies, but I find it amusing how they can tell me things, that you otherwise wouldn’t know, if you weren’t a fairy.

  1772. HOLY FREAKING CRAP PEOPLE!!! Did ALMOST everyone just TOTALLY ignore the whole “POSTED ON APRIL FUCKING FIRST”?? (April FOOLS day if it still hasn’t quite registered with ya) Plus the FIRST clue should have been “THIS IS TOTALLY LEGIT” NEVER trust ANYTHING that starts off that way.

    BRAVO TO THE CREATOR! There was ALOT of effort put into this scheme! I admit I was being sucked in as read the article, started running theories as to why I hadn’t heard about it sooner. BUT I READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE!

    They may not be real, but I still like to leave thimbles of honey and milk on my doorstep, just like I leave out a plate of milk and cookies at Christmas. What do you think superstitions are? EVERYBODY believes in at least one: salt over the shoulder, broken mirrors, umbrellas opened indoors, black cats, sidewalk cracks, walking under ladders, etc etc etc. Why the hell to we live life if we don’t believe in a little magick every once and a while! It will make you smile which will put ten years on your life!

    Some need to smarten up, others need to pull that giant stick out of there asses!! CLAP YOUR HANDS!

  1773. Indeed. I hope you saw the part of this thread where the commenters were trading dirty jokes in Latin. This comments thread has been called one of the most beautiful things on the entire internet, but you have to read it like a book, not just skip to the end.

  1775. Yes I did! I must say that I found myself thinking the same thing! I sat here and nearly peed myself I was laughing so hard!! You got a good one going here raincoaster! Keep it up! This is the only thread I have ever even bothered to read fully or comment on! Thoroughly entertaining!!

  1777. If it is a hoax it looks really good, something to make you smile and bring back some faith in fantasy and dreams :)

    But…

    …. did they have to call scientists “Godless Heathens” as if they have no moral codes? A true scientist would never cover this up if it was real, true Scientists would embrace it and be very excited about this (again, if it is/was real).

  1779. Ah yes, I remember back two years ago, when the fairy was still fresh and hadn’t yet shrivelled up and dried out.

    Clearly Raincoaster wasn’t keeping it in her apartment.

  1783. Nice to see the debate still raging. I overheard a woman on her bluetooth yesterday. She was arguing with someone, and I think she said that all fairies are named “Marsha.” I suspect that she fell for the old urban legend, but snopes has nothing on it yet.

  1785. Ugh… that is the most horrible thing i have ever seen, i acctually believe in fairies and that supposed “fairy’s” wings are made of dead leaves…… Everyone knows fairies are 5 inches long. Its a mean thing to do. :(

  1786. Most of the fairies I know are named “Fifi” or at least they are on Fridays and Saturdays after 6pm.

    And who ever claimed that fairies are five inches long? For one thing, you’re a horrible sizeist. And for another, it’s NOT the size, it’s how you use it.

  1787. Fifi would be the français version. Sascha is the РуÑÑкий equivalent. I’m gonna sidestep the length x circumference argument; I’ll leave it to you experts.

  1788. Yeah its been confirmed that it was an april fools joke. Someone made it and planted it to be found on april first. The guy came forward and admitted it was a hoax, even saying how he made it. Not saying there aren’t things out there that havent been discovered, but the particular “creature” in the picture is a fake.

  1790. is this Fairies is truelly reall ….

    how did they found !! …

    and why they Already … Dead !!

    is there the rest of them are life already … and hidding …

  1792. My name is Flower.
    For years I was teased becuase of the fairy believing thing. I decided to stop blieving until one night I heard something in my bathroom. I’m not the brave type so i made my brother go in and look. When he came out he was really scared adn threatended to go get my Dad, but when I asked him what had happened te only words he said to me, were:
    “It glows. It really, REALLY glows.” I put on my big girl pants ;) and went into the bathroom. Nothing happened but all I saw was a fat firefly in my Chia (cha cha cha chia)I thought is was just a joke so my bro took a jar and decided to keep the bug. But when he stuck his finger for the bug to crawl onto it, the bug began to uncurl from this ball shape, and than a small- Polly Pocket like figure jumped back and got up in the Chia.
    By this time we were both screaming and my parents were coming into the bathroom.
    Well, just like those cheesy Peter Pan movies, parents cant see fairies, and even though I practically touched the tiny person with wings, my parents didn’t see her.
    The tiny person would keep coming to my room and she liked to eat the insides of jelly beans (from my candy stash) I didn’t touch, i would only watch her flutter and dance around my room. The closet i came to knowing some information was when she played with my tinkerbell pen and began writing something on a post it.
    The tiny person was a girl an her her name was like Maidor or something. She knew how to talk becuase when she went inside my kitty’s play pen, she would sing tinkle little star to my cat. My cat is reeally mean and Maidor somehow controled him.
    I still see Maidor sometimes. I see her mostly on Tuesday nights, sicne I am homeschooled. she enjoys candy and likes growing things. Somehow she became my best friend.. raincoaster is right. And i dont know if thats a real fairy, but Maidor does…

  1793. Mit Apologien an Herr Hughes Mearns :

    “Yesterday upon the stair
    I met a man who wasn’t there
    He wasn’t there again today
    Oh, how I wish he’d go away”

    Your Grace

    The Regen-Küstner=Abwehr are troubled by so multitudinous & divers qvestions :

    eg can a Sqvare ever be circular

    eg are Gorillas really a more intelligent species evolved from Homo pSeudo Sapiens

    eg Why did the British invade Iraq in 1915 (where Grandfather Eagle contrived to catch Malaria) and then again in 2003, with their US Friends

    UND

    eg Why is the wretched Government of her Britannic Majesty [God Bless her] claiming that the UK has ended its Recession

    AND like the erudite RIAM, it is also wondered pourquoi et how do Fairies die, while struggling to escape to Vancouver away from the excessive UK Tax-Regime in Derbyshire, formerly recognized (by Miss Jane Austen in 1813) as “the Best of Countries”

    Surely it cannot be from being gunned down by polite but heavily-armed Racccoons, while flying over Orange Groves in California

    Surely not from drinking anti-freeze so thoughtfully put out be Monsieur Ortem for any thirsty & exhausted Fairies who make it over the Canadian Rockies

    Alles Gute

    G E

  1797. wow that is bull crap as much as i would like to believe that fairies and many other mythical creatures are real, because i think that would be absolutely awesome, this is in no way real. first of all there is no way that this so called fairies delicate wings could be preserved in such a climate. The body alone would be impressive there is no way they would last. then if by some miracle the wings were in some way preserved the way whoever it is that is handling the body would have broken the wings the way they are carrying it. Third how did the police get a hold of this, it should be in the hands of someone who knows how to preserve and care for such remains, instead of some idiot bobby who only knows how to eat donuts, drink coffee, and through his weight around. I would say this is the result of a photo shop expert.

  1799. uumn you say how can i prove this wrong? well i cant prve it 100% wrong (other than the fact that i believe it has been discouverd to be a prank already) but i can find many holes and lacking evidence e.g how could the fairy have been found so easily in the first place specially if it had been mumified, if it was preservd in some way theres no way it was just laying on the sidewalk the whole time, the man found it walking his dog, i wonder how many other people walk their dog in the same place. second you say bones are similar to birds i wonder how many bones are the same shape and how much of it could have been made out of other material, what type of wings are those? how could they ahve been preserved so well? the mummy looks about as old as real mummies so it must have been spreserved very well, why in that position a difficult position to make air tight and perserve particulary when it cmes to those wings. yeah my heads over folowing with more things wrong withthis article i cant organaise it enough to write anymore down but yeeah yeeeeeeeah

  1800. Well, if birds are shaped like that it’s big news anyway. As to how it got there, I offer no hypothesis except the (frankly speculative) possibility that it was disinterred by hostile Meerkat grave-robbers who were interrupted in their dastardly work by the dog-walker before they could make off with their grisly prize.

  1801. I think that’s a fake pikture hahahaha!!! sorry but i just don’t believe that’s real… but when i personally think you’re all on shrooms to be seeing faries .. especially you Flower! you have one quit big imagination… but that’s ok kuz i saw faries when i was on shrooms too xD

  1802. I personally think all you people are on shrooms if you say you’ve seen fairies hahaha!!!
    I think they’re real though! i love mythical kreatures! i wish i was one too!!!
    but i think Flower is on something wayyyy different to be seeing a fairy kome into her room every tuesday!! ha sorry Flower!!

    But i’ve seen plenty of fairies when took shrooms the first time xD

  1803. I wish i had a doll like that though ;D
    I’d post that shit up on my wall an fool everyone i know hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha pinchi amber!!!

  1804. Wow. This is really quit insane. Highly entertaining but truely insane. Fascinating. I cant believe i sat and read the entire thing! Well done!

  1805. Her Grace “…. hostile Meerkat grave-robbers …. ”

    The erudite Pixieheart may pretend to a Perseverance and Perspicaciousness beyond her Youthful Years

    BUT Are Unicorns and their Tree Oktopodia friends innocent in all this !?!!

    BUT what was the involvement of those sagacious RaCoons ???

  1806. Im curious as to hold you think i am G Eagle Esq? im thinking maybe not quite as young as what you might beleive. :) dont let the silly name fool you.
    I believe that unicorns are not quit as innocent as they would have you believe

  1807. Herr Eagle persists in his belief that schools used to teach proper punctuation and grammar, hence his assumption that you must be of a more youthful cast.

    As for the involvement of Tree Octopi, I cannot say except to remind everyone that a species pushed to the brink of extinction will do anything it can to survive!

  1808. Ahh well in that case he needs to consider the growing laziness of anyone (no matter their age) when typing. I actually rarely ever type out all of my words because it is just easier and I do not like to send an overly long time typing whatever it is im trying to say. I am admittedly a lazy typist. i do see the pion, however, and understand.

  1812. Raincoaster! why do you believe this?
    is there any proof other than that pikture an that police evidence bag in the back?
    kuz honestly in my opinion, I personally don’t think that is real.
    I believe in things like this but i think people are tryin to mess with us an pretty much kallin fairy believers IDIOTS!!!!
    don’t you think?

  1816. Your Grace

    Ich weiss nicnt was soll es bedeuten,
    das ich so traurig bin
    Ein Märchen aus urAlten Zeiten,
    das gent mir nicht aus dem Sinn

    Not only does the Learned Idaly seem to make no Sense

    This is very trubblink

    …. rather like our Glorious Leader, Monsignor von Braun, explaining to the Long-Suffering Bristisch Electorate –

    HOW having got us into such a Mess, we should trust him to get us out of it

  1817. all the people who dont believe are,to put it in juvenile terms,demented. The evedience is overwhelming. every civillisation has its own description of a fairy.

  1818. Indeed; and you can even buy the body on eBay if you’re still skeptical, and do your own autopsy. What could be more eloquent of confidence than that?

    Herr Eagle…does Brown have an alibi for this murder?

  1819. I totally believe in fairies, although I know this one is fake. I’ve seen some incredible pictures, and read plenty of stories from my friends claiming they’ve seen one. Raincoaster, please send me all evidence/pictures you have of fairies. That would be greatly appreciated. Flower, Christian, it would be great if you could somehow email me some pictures of Maidor, or that fairy you found at Fox Island.
    Anyone else, please send me some info! I love showing my friends this stuff!

    Kbocker1@gmail.com

  1821. More evidence came to my attention recently. AxeCop knows about fairies and enlisted one for his team. She’s completely awesome.

  1825. Hello everybody,
    I have been trying to read this entire posssssst for the passssssst week in-between essssssay writing etc. I almost died from laughter in the processsssss. In fact I am sure that one of my lungsssss sssssssprung a leak from it (you ssssssee I have been hearing a sssssstrange hisssssssing noissssssse whenever I move: the hole in my lung, I’m asssssuming) Well, this is the first comment that I have ever mede on anything… ever. Weird. Never the lesssssss though I must inquire assss to the whereabouts of archie, kssstaff, and philipa. Why have they dessssserted usssss?

  1827. 1812
    Your Grace

    Once again, I find myself driven by sheer power of rational argumentation to be speculating in similarity to that sagacious Racoom

    BUT as the Erudite Turnip most Demented enquires :

    Wo ist der AerChie und die kindliche Philippa ???

  1828. Ah, my dearessssst Eaglelikeobject
    In ansssssswer:
    Ich glaube, dasssss ssssie auf dem Blog über Quentin Crisssssp ging!
    perhapsssss we sssshould join them?

    yourssss mossst ssssssincssssèrement la Turnip

  1829. Dear st. turtsS knuB,
    how do you know that that wasssn’t ssaid with a lissp and I jussst cannot sspell?
    jussst a guessss perhapsss….
    :)
    ssmiley facsse ri i ight there^
    frowzily face right here>:(
    ssorry

  1830. By the by it isss not my fault, the hissssing, you know, it’sss the hole in my lungsss….

    Perhapsss I’m inadvertently dictating for my lungssss?

  1831. I’m not sure you’re not transforming into a boa constrictor. You should get that looked at right away. Boa skins are worth a lot of money, you know.

  1832. @pinrurT de’mrofeD–

    “how do you know that that wasssn’t ssaid with a lissp and I jussst cannot sspell?”

    I thuthpected thomething and thimpley guethed.

    @Herr Eagle– An Overture is called for.

    @rain– Ask any drummer.

  1835. Dear liquid-precipitationcoassster, Perhapssss you have a point but where would you sssssuggessst that I would go to, asssss you ssssay, get it looked at? Unlesssss of courssssse you are a ssssspecialissst on this sssort of anomaly, in that casssse we could do it right now…

    st. turtsS knuB, yesssss just assss I thought. Do you own a cat? If not, would you like one?

  1837. Ahhh, I ssssee, do they have ssswpecialissstsss on thisss sssort of thing there? Perhapsss it some sssort of microbe that doessss it… Oh, dang be back later!

  1838. Anyway, before I wasss ssso rudely interupted!
    Why ssshould I not go to Milan?
    What horrid dissseaessse do you think that I might have!?
    How did you get your little photo iconsss?
    yourssss ˈtÉ™r-nÉ™p’

  1839. DT: Milan is the global headquarters for the manufacture of snakeskin pants. If you are morphing into a boa constrictor, it is the LAST place you should consider going.

    One has to be practical about these things.

  1846. Ha! Lol, this made me crack up at the unreality of “red hair” found. Hair would fall out, you dummy

  1848. Raincoasssster, why are you ignoring me? Alsso why are there ssssuch long periodssss of time where there issss no one to talk to on here?

    Hannah dear, hair doesss not fall out when you die. Mange isss not a ssssymptom of death. Have you never ssseen a real mummy.

    My mummy hasss lotsss of hair.

  1851. “an hair does stay on you! they’re dead cells…”

    Unless they’re wild hairs. They can actually get UP IN YOU and make you do all sorts of uncharacteristically impulsive things, and all it takes is one. Be careful with them.

  1852. oh my jesus!! really?
    wow! never knew that!
    …wha kind of uncharacteristic impulsive things would it make you do?
    please explain??..
    and wha sor of wild hair?

  1853. You really didn’t know that? Huh, interessssting, what do they teach in sssschools thessse dayss? Here isss an example of a wild hair and itsss effectssss http://www.proxima13.com/avakassss/pic5.jpg. Note how pssssychotic it looksss. (There isss only one “Sss” in the above web sssite by the way, sssorry!)
    Wow, it ssseemsss like I haven’t been here in decadesss.
    Where do you people live?

  1854. 1839

    Impulsive behaviour (err .. behaviOr, in the Middle-Colonies Argôt)

    …. aMbEr would sympathize with the Camelopards on Senor Bunk’s entertaining Space – they seem rather upset about something

    Surely it cannot be the sight of Mr Cameron evicting that pleasant Mr Brown from his Home …..

  1855. this is sooo cool where did you find it because in belfast ulster museme there is a mummified person real it is all wrinkly and black

  1856. Miz AmBer– To clarify by example, I just got one that compelled me to post a comment here. I suggest googling “1839 camelopard” just to be safe. Herr Eagle is to be complimented for his rare knowledge of [fill in the blank.]

  1859. i totally agree wih raincoaster!!!
    i don’t know wha you people are talking bout now haha!!!
    i’m from tx deform’ed turnip
    wha bout you?

  1861. i am beliver real fairies but i am know why god have created with fairies and why i beliver god did created about fairies tales people real world like humanlity,.yeah but i have psyhics vision but i beliver fairies and eleves people have a hide the world but people cant saw at fairies people ,.please leave fairies people alone but do not get hurt body with fairies tales.if god will mad at people but thou shalt not killed fairies people but god have love fairies tales people in the world ..god say people need leave fairies tales people alone. please ….please i saw god finished

  1864. Oh, AGAIN with the “Photoshop” cries. Easy to say, not so easy to prove, eh? Or you losers would stick around and offer some concrete proof, which I note you have not.

  1865. ok i don’t know wha the hell rebecca just said xD
    an that fairy is not photoshopped!
    i think it’s fake …but don’t get me wrong i still think fairies are real ^-^

  1868. Do you know, I think that J.R.R. Tolkien is under appreciated. Does anybody know someone who speaks fluent Elvish… I’d like to learn. I mean I of course can write it but I can speak it.
    I think someone is a fetus and nobody has hijacked my lettuce.

  1873. Well I AM a Dick Licker but also as a Botonist I also recognize those are just last year’s leaves on the back.

    Good job on making her look like an alien.

  1874. @Deform’ed Turnip– So this Tolkien guy was an important British Earl or Baron or something? Honest question.

    @yah right– Hahaha! Another joker in our midst who declares fraud yet correctly identifies the sex of the fairy. Pure awesome, and more proof. Great sleuthing.

  1877. @ Deform’ed Turnip — OH! I got it. Is LotR like WoW? I don’t bother with online role-playing games, but knew a kid who played D&D a lot. He was fascinated with sorcerers, fairies, druids, trolls, etc. I guess that’s where the fairy connection comes in.

    @raincoaster– Huh? You’re sniping at me? I thought that was Metro’s job. After all, he’s the one who caused the leak in your gin bottle, not me.

  1878. I’m not sniping at you, I’m just taking a broad stab at Yankistan, because when have I ever resisted the urge to do that?

    Besides, I don’t think Metro can handle his gin. He must have passed out.

  1885. Thanks for that Rain, however I’m not sure his country of schooling is the problem: I went to American schools too… Where do you live? Please tell me. Please. By the way, you don’t happen to speak Elvish do you?
    What do you dip the Meerkats in?
    Have a pleasant day

  1886. No, I don’t speak Elvish. Well, only “menu Elvish” enough to get me through lunch at a pretentious restaurant.

    My name is “raincoaster.” Where do you THINK I live?

    I dip the meerkats in vats of Goo! Didn’t you see Roger Rabbit?

  1887. Rain– Gotta check with Herr Eagle on this one, but Goo was someone very important in ancient hibernia, as the surnames McGoo and MacGoo are very common. That esteemed ancient was very possibly renowned for his excellent meerkat-dipping vats.

  1888. Ah, I see. I always thought that Goo might be some Jewish approximation for “God” the way they use G-d. Which, when they do that, makes me think that all the old dead people who wrote those Victorian novels that say things like “G-d d–n his eyes!” were all Jewish. Gee, they really DID control the media back then, didn’t they?

  1894. I can’t believe how many comments you have on this post. Who knew mummified fairy remains would generate this buzz.

  1896. Be careful with that thing! It’s a freeze dried fairy. Add EVO, a bit of rosemary, parsley, thyme, and sage (in that order, the song is wrong) a splash of Balsamic vinegar and a nice Viognier and you have reconstituted fairy. They are mean when brought back.

  1897. Maybe the Chinese in question were from Norwegia? They’ve got a nice cruise line, but they’ve got funny names, too, like Úlfr, Auðr and Guðmundr.

  1898. Those wings don’t look like leaves at all. No sir, not one bit!

    Happy fourth! (It’s the July 5th now where I live, but still the 4th out west I believe …)

  1899. Jenny, do you have to reconstitute it in a pentagram, or will a quadrigram do?

    Happy 4th/5th/whatever, Mr Hippity.

    Bunk, do you mean Icelanders? They have enough on their hands dealing with the resurgent Godzilla, I don’t think they’re behind this.

  1902. You’ll notice that I used punctuation in my haiku. That’s because I strongly believe that haikus should be properly punctuated. In fact, I’ve written more than a few letters to the editor on the topic over the years …

  1905. Doing better and better all the time. If I can’t get cash or presents for my birthday, famousnosity is the next best thing!

    Goodang is a well-known Icelandic surname, Bunk. I’m surprised you did not know this.

    Mr Hippity, I do not involve myself in haiku wars. They can turn ugly in an instant, and those people will never stop until they’ve parsed every syllable of your blog. Fisk has nothing on them, especially the Scandinavian haiku snobs. I am not joking, for once.

  1910. I thought all night Rain and I still don’t know… show me where because I want one, do they have them there? They don’t have them here. Please Rain. Please. Then, maybe I could send you a real Birthday present… Please.

  1913. 1898

    Yes, qvite so

    Those living to the South of Nootka Sound in the World’s 4th-largest Economy have their own infelicitous animadversion in respect of those poor Millipede=munching Meerkats

    BUT

    In Polite Society, a GentleEagle does not openly admit to agreeing with your earliest Kommenter’s Observation :

    “The Ha! you say. Well, this is certainly unusual to say the least. I think you might be on to something here. So, I say Ha!”

    Rather one echoes Virgil’s observation most erudite :

    Arma virumque cano

    Je reste le vestre Grace’s obedient servant etc

    L’Aigle Gris

  1914. Turnip, what are you doing in the rain? Don’t you know you’ll turn into soup if you do that?

    Loki, welcome. Sarcasm? HERE? NEVAH! And no hyperbole either, never, ever in a million years.

    G Eagle you can quite CLEARLY see that the arms on that fairy are natural and dessicated in a quite authentic fashion, for a mummified fairy. Was that some sort of doubter’s crack?

  1919. Pingback: Operation Global Media Domination: the Double Millennial Situation « raincoaster

  1920. I thought the post with 2000 comments might be some slander about Michael Jackson….is that fairy moonwalking BTW?

  1922. I am sorry Rain but I was looking for your house, no luck of course, however- wait… what! Why did you not tell before! I could’ve used some nice hot soup. Fluch meiner unvorbereitetness.
    Please Rain.

  1926. 1910!

    The titanic disaster is just two years away. World War I will start in 4 years.

    Raincoaster’s 2000th comment is 90 years away. That seems like a long time …

  1927. WordPress just told me: “You are posting comments too quickly! Slow down!”

    WordPress is such a nag.

    Nag, nag, nag!

    I’m headed back to Tumblr ….

  1928. Noooooo, don’t goooooooooo!!!

    WordPress IS a nag, but at least you can comment on it, unlike Tumblr.

    And yes, we are all descendants of a mutant fairy race. There are occasional throwbacks like Katy Perry and Liberace, but for the most part we’ve moved very far away from our roots.

  1929. Given that on December 8, 2008 you said “What say we go for two k by the end of 2009?”… it appears we’re falling behind on our duties.

    Consider this a birthday nudge towards your goal. We can make it!

  1931. VANCOUVER
    Rain when is your birthday exactly, I will make sure your get your 2000.

  1934. Finally got this page to load, but what an ordeal.

    Tinkerbell is alive and well and living in a hollow Ohia tree here on the Big Island of Hawaii.

  1935. But, is she/he an earth fairy — or a galactic fairy? Because, truly, you can’t make any assumptions about the true dimensional origins of anybody/one/thing. Trust me; I have relevant knowledge and experience in matters such as this. All the fairies love RAIN!

  1936. Jon: yes, the world owes me. Haven’t I ever mentioned this before?

    DT: Well, I do have blogging to do and alas cannot be here 24/7. My birthday is Saturday, so you’ve got till midnight then to push it past 2k.

    Richard: your perseverance is appreciated. I believe there is a fairy in your tree. And a gremlin in my WordPress!

  1937. Bunk: you must be magical yourself if you can comment on a Tumblr; you surely can’t comment on mine!

    Rachel, we do not know, but suspect it is an Earth fairy as it was found near some old mounds in Devonshire, and that would seem to indicate some connection with the Land Underground. Any light you could throw on the matter would be appreciated.

    Yes, fairies love rain. Lots of my best friends are fairies, actually.

  1940. Kerry, how could you? This thread has been studied as part of the curriculum at two universities and has been called one of the most beautiful things on the internet! Don’t miss the part where the commenters make dirty puns in Latin!

    Cathy, thanks!

  1941. Amaaaaazing! I always knew they were real! If you can find the movie “Photographing Fairies” I highly recommend it (Ben Kingsley stars).

  1945. I’m telling you every time a bell rings a fairy gets its wings, but every time it hears an obnoxious ring-tone it gets a rare fairy tumor and dies mid-flutter.

    Perhaps they can extract some of her genetic material and finally get to a cure or at the very least a vaccine for the pan-demic that is Avian Bone Syndrome; then her death won’t have been in vein.

  1949. We WILL get there, if I have to register an army of sock puppets!

    I, for one, eagerly await the rise of Raincoaster’s Army of Sockpuppets. (Which, by the way, would make a great movie title.)

  1950. Quelle tragedie que this Extinct Faerie hath not lived long enough to witness that Life is not all tragedy

  1953. Won’t be making to your potluck dinner… so here’s your birthday gift! I hope it does make it to 2,000 comments.
    Wishing you lots of success, health and love in this new year of life!

  1959. LW, so the meerkats engineered a virus that is killing the fairies? THOSE FIENDISH CREATURES! We must spread the word that fairies should practice safe sects!

    Alejna, it all counts.

    DT, this Saturday, the 10th.

    G Eagle, but do fairies play football? Do they even watch? It seems way too macho for them. I would expect fairies to play leapfrog, or chess perhaps.

    Bunk, your erudition is, as always, astonishing. Also, thanks for the link on your other site!

    FFE, speaking of Broadway, have you met LW?

    Guacira, thanks! Now, to create those sock puppets.

  1966. How did she get money out of the ATM with those tiny little hands?

    And then how did she change the twenties for singles? Because all I ever got was a dollar? :p

    Unless….unless she was moonlighting as a stripper?

  1967. I must admit I haven’t read all 2000 comments yet, so if I’m asking questions that have already been posited, I’m a stooge.

    But Hairy Mo and Surly wants to know.

  1968. I blame the Meekrats!

    Why must they scurry around timidly in the dark wreaking havoc on the Cheetos?

  1969. ONLY 48 COMMENTS NEEDED NOW! 47 after this goes up!

    Thanks, guys, I really appreciate it.

    LW, I don’t think she could have been a stripper; take a gander at her. She just doesn’t have the body for it, besides being way too old. And no way would her tits have been big enough. I also don’t think fairies use ATMs; don’t they always pay with fairy gold, that vanishes the next morning? (I knew those Comparative Folklore Studies would come in handy)

    G Eagle I consider the Meerkat guilt for global warming to be firmly established. We can only await their extortion demands and stock up on snorkels and wetsuits.

  1970. Wouldn’t you like to know where her will is… well tough, I promised her not to tell you.

  1972. Just googled “fairy recipes.” Amazing how many people consider them food. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, as some folks eat unicorn meat, too.

  1973. Yeah, well, I got the Peter Rabbit teacup. So, ha. And the Peter Rabbit tea too. Ha, ha.

  1974. I’m boycotting unicorn meat; it’s not dolphin safe!

    Peter Rabbit tea…which reminds me of a joke. A very long, painful joke.

    So this guy, he’s a gourmand. LOVES food. LIVES for food. Thinks Gordon Ramsay doesn’t take food seriously enough, okay? So, basically, guy is food crazy.

    Dude comes into a pile of money; seems his whole family is food crazy, and they’re dropping left and right from celiac disease and cardiac infarctions, leaving him all their money. He decides to take a year off and go around the world, seeking out the rarest, most wonderful dining experiences there are.

    It goes wonderfully. He’s just finishing up his tour in Malaysia when he bumps into an old friend, and he catches the friend up on what he’s doing.

    “That’s awesome!” says the friend. “If you’re hitting all the greatest places in the foodie world, you must have been to Mercy!”

    “Mercy?” says the guy, puzzled. “Never heard of it; what’s the story?”

    “Oh my god, you’ve never heard of MERCY??? It’s only the greatest gourmet secret on the planet. I honestly shouldn’t have told you but I thought you’d already know. It’s this little town in the Outback in Australia. Look, as you’re such a gourmet, I’ll draw you a map, but if you are captured, you MUST eat it. Don’t worry, the paper is artisanal.”

    “Okay, okay,” says Our Boy, intrigued beyond all describing. “I’ll do anything it takes! My trip will not be complete, no my LIFE will not be complete without a trip to Mercy.”

    “The town is entirely populated with the greatest chefs in the world who have retired. It’s nothing but restaurants. Brutally expensive, but you look like you can afford it. Here,” says the friend, hastily stuffing a hand-drawn map into his pal’s pocket. “I can’t be seen talking to you after this.”

    Well, long story short, our boy diverts to Australia immediately. After six long days at sea in one of those ferries that are always sinking on the news (you’d think they’d know better than to go on the news, it’ll never hold them!) he arrives on the coast, and immediately hires a jeep to take him into the Outback, following the directions on the map. After seven days of driving, they’ve run out of road, and he hires a camel. After three days of camel-jockeying, at dawn he spies a protrusion on the horizon: no, several. It’s Mercy!!!

    He spurs the camel into a bone-jolting gallop, arriving just before the dinner hour. He chooses the most imposing-looking restaurant and saunters in, the dust of the trail clinging to his chaps. He’s greeted by the standard-issue stuffy maitre d, and escorted to his table.

    Immediately, he is served a refreshing sorbet flavoured with sustainably-harvested dragonfly wings, followed by a flute of Veuve Cliquot 1820. The rest of the meal is to the same standard, course after course of the most impossibly exquisite delicacies the universe has ever seen. Finally, it’s time for the piece de resistance, the grand finale, the specialty of the house. As with each course, it’s a surprise to our protagonist, right up to the moment it arrives at the table.

    Or, in this case, the moment after.

    The maitre d wheels a trolley to the table. On its surface is an enormous bowl of boiling water, with a burner beneath to keep it burning. Below that are an assortment of strange, non-euclidean vegetables, and something large and lumpy underneath a napkin. The waiter tosses the veggies into the air and the maitre d expertly slices them as they come down, dropping them gently into the pot. Then he grasps the object under the napkin and flourishes it: A large, dead koala bear.

    This he proceeds to chop up into bite-sized pieces, every last hair and claw, tossing it into the bowl and stirring it. After a few moments, he ladles out a large, steaming mug of the broth and hands it to Our Guy.

    Who looks down into it and sees one of the koala eyes staring back at him, still in its bit of bone socket. He looks up at the maitre d and asks plaintively, “Can you please strain this or something?”

    Oh. My. FUCKING. GOD!!! The maitre d draws himself up to his full height and puts a double load of contemptuous French accent on, before replying, “SIR! The koala tea of Mercy is not strained!”

    I forget why I was telling you that.

  1975. So that’s what happened to the tooth fairy. My parents weren’t cheap and weren’t lying to me after-all.

  1979. …they don’t have to make the leashes as big either.
    Finally, were out of streamlined suburbia.

  1980. Your Grace

    It is a Truth universally acknowledged that

    Canuckistania in tres partes divisa est

    1. where Faeries flourish

    2. where Tree Oktopodia flourish – but Faeries seem absent

    3. an intermediate zone where neither are observed – it’s called Alberta

    Es macht man denken, nee
    Das ist es, doch
    [it maikes yer fink, ugh
    This is it, i’n’it]

  1981. *GROWN*

    My reaction to the PUNch-line of your fantastically told folk tale, and in honor of our Homonymph. Perhaps we should call her Portia? Would it have helped the allusion if you said the chef cut up the Koala and tossed the “pound of flesh” into the pot? All in all, it was quite enjoyable even if I did noticeably age and audibly moan. It is definitely a joke that lends itself to the written word, though I would never be able to re-tell it as well as you did. Well done. Like our Portia.

  1982. You may be on to something, could it be she is one of Shakespeare’s Fairies from “A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream?” Titania, perhaps? Could this be the queen? Or maybe it’s Peachblossom or Mustardseed? Who the Puck knows? Are we supposed to imagine old William just made these characters up out of thin air?

  1983. And to say she couldn’t have been a stripper, Rain, is really looksist of you. You’ve obviously not spent much time in the fairy porn section of the Pleasure Chest.

  1984. I am appalled by the non-believers in this thread. Of course fairies are real. I should know. I AM the Tooth Fairy, just ask my kids if you need proof. I even have a little muslin bag of baby teeth.

  1985. Hey, SBC, I remember you. I saw you fly in through my window and take make tooth. Of course, it took you quite a while because I refused to open my mouth…

  1987. True, however, you’d think that there would be easier ways of alerting the mortals to one’s existence.

  1988. Ah yes, Turnip, you were the fiesty little fart who bit me, I almost lost a leg that night. I had to pinch your nose and you turned such a lovely shade of blue before finally opening your mouth.

  1991. That is really cool! That is really, really cool!

    I’m very pleased to have read this, as one who often wishes the mythological world of creatures did exist. If fairies is all there are in our world, that’s enough, but maybe they’ll make more discoveries in the future! Dinosaurs existed, didn’t they?

    I bet the people in the middle ages and before are definitely not as crazy and delusional as some people think them today. Again, cool article! Good luck on 200 comments. :’D

  1992. Every time a child says, “I don’t believe in fairies,” there is a fairy somewhere that falls down dead. ~James Matthew Barrie, Peter Pan

    If only we could harness that power…

  1994. Come on people, I don’t want to have to do this alone by posting my darkest secrets! I don’t think I even have 22 dark secrets. Then I’ll have to start posting yours. Where will you be then? Wouldn’t it be easier just to help me out here? Honestly, you don’t want everyone to know about that time… with the meerkats, do you? It’s 10:56 pm. on Friday the tenth of July, what could you possibly be doing other then sitting here helping me out with this? I mean really! God, you’d think you people have lives apart from this. How sad that would be. Perhaps I really am alone. I will do what I can rain, but hey, considering my background, I don’t know how much that is. Night. It has come for m

  1996. Fairy, fairy quite contrary. This post makes me want to reread the Artemis Fowl stories. Hmmm…

  1998. G Eagle; there are a lot of fairies around here. When I canvassed for the census I even found someone who’d put a “fairy maze” made of moss in her front garden. She said the fairies felt comfortable dancing in it because you couldn’t see it from the street (which you could not, it being up several flights of stairs on a very hilly street).

    LW, I think you’re on to something. Surely a figure as renowned as Shakespeare would not have just “made shit up.” It’s well-known that Hamlet was based on a true case (even if there ARE no cliffs in Denmark) as was Antony and Cleopatra. That he would simply fabricate fairies is a ridiculous and unsupportable notion. But this cannot be Titania: we would have seen the obit in the Guardian!

    Portia is almost completely unknown to me, but I did like her hair at that Oscar party, with all the little braids and things.

    SBS, thank you. That should settle the last of the unbelievers.

  1999. DT excellent, thank you for the corroboration. But if you’d rather keep your baby teeth than get money, one has to wonder about your motivation!

    Lewnna, thanks and welcome. There are plenty of other fairy stories and tall tales around this blog.

    Alejna, are you saying there are enough unbelievers that we could make a living at it somehow?

    Looks like the meerkats got DT after all, right in the middle of a word. God rest his soul.

    Angela, I hated Artemis Fowl. Great premise, badly executed. Of COURSE they made millions from it.

    Jon, thanks for the comment. It’s vikings that burn their dead on funeral pyres, and as we all know Vikings were very hard on the original Britons, like fairies.

  2000. Portia is the one who first said, “The quality of mercy is never strained.” I had heard she said it to a merchant named Shylock in Venice, but it could have been to a talk-show host named Ellen in Malibu, you know how these things get distorted with each subsequent telling…

  2001. Happy birthday to you,
    Happy birthday to you,
    Happy birthday, dear Rain,
    Happy birthday to you.

    Sung to the tune of “Happy Birthday to You,” by LW and Portia the dancing Fairy.

    (How many is this?)

  2002. 14 more to go!

    Thanks for the translation. Merchant of Venice I have neither seen nor read, for some reason. I’m all about the King Lear; it reminds me of the Orestia and of growing up with my parents.

    But there, I’ve said too much.

  2004. “Co-ordinated?” or “instigated?”

    Only a year behind schedule, we WILL hit 2k, and perhaps yet another university will put this thread on its New Media curriculum.

  2009. Ha. My dad was a bit of a King Lear, in fact, King is his middle name, literally, and his last name translates to King in another language, but there, I’ve said too much too. Which daughter were you? The Rain is making more and more sense.

    “Rumble thy bellyful! Spit, fire! spout, rain!
    Nor rain, wind, thunder, fire, are my daughters:
    I tax not you, you elements, with unkindness.”

  2011. Reminds me when I was a kid and used to roll rubber glue until it got all dirty, dark and tacky then shaped around the head of my gnome head with the bright orange hair. It was the top of my pencil. I know, what an abstract memory!

  2013. I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
    Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
    Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
    With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine:
    There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
    Lull’d in these flowers with dances and delight;
    And there the snake throws her enamell’d skin,
    Weed wide enough to wrap a fairy in

  2015. God: welcome, nice to see you in the hood.

    Cat: thank you! A Shakespearean reference as well, bonus points!

    LW, what was your dad’s name, Raj Khan? That is one kickass name. A friend of mine, of German-Canadian extraction chose a hippie name of Shahee because it meant Prince in Urdu. Didn’t realize it meant Martyr in Arabic until the US deported him! Did you know they make you pay for your own ticket?

    L Billings as a fairy abuser, you obviously have a large karmic debt, which can be repaid by helping this post get to 2000 comments.

    Az, thank you! That’s probably as close to a birthday cake as I’m going to get this year. Have been on a restrictive diet, and most of my friends are more savory cooks than sweet cooks.

    Archie, Thanks. Gosh that’s terrific. You’re really talented; have you thought of writing plays or something?

  2018. Thanks, God and FFE. Probably the only time you’ll see those two conjoined.

    Yay! I can now enjoy my birthday knowing it’s started off on the right foot for sure!

    Peter gave me airline bottles of JD, Johnny Walker Red, Bombay Sapphire, and Bacardi, plus a Strongbow. And since I’ve been off booze for more than 2 weeks now, and I am having a beverage-primary potluck later today, Sunday I can already see is going to be a writeoff. Yay for medically-induced days off!

  2019. M.O.V. is very good, if not the tiniest bit racist.

    I misspoke before in that the Merchant is actually Antonio and Shylock is the Jewish loanshark who lends Antonio money but demands a pound of flesh if he defaults. Which he does.

    Portia, the princess, dresses up as a man/lawyer to save the day when her love Antonio cannot re-pay and Shylock wants his flesh, she points out that the “quality of mercy is not strained,” and that by saying nothing about Blood in his contract, he can’t take the flesh unless he can do it without spilling a drop of blood, which of course he can’t. And then she forces him to convert to Christianity.

    So it would’ve been a bit “Victor/Victoria”-ish with a boy playing a girl playing a boy back in the day, it’s all very scandalous on a lot of levels, as only Bill can be.

    So there is my tale for your birthday, there is a good film version with Al Pacino & Jeremy Irons if you ever get the time away from your keyboard. There’s a lot more to it, so I haven’t ruined the whole thing.

    Somehow, Fairy crossed to Mercy.

  2020. Indeed I have considered writing a play.

    The plot is based on the memories of a ghost in a Scandinavian castle who dresses up in tree branches and whispers lies into the ears of the king about the behaviour of his beloved wife. Three witches tell the king his fortune but he doesn’t realise that they are his daughters.

    It will be a winner!

    Belated happy birthday to Rain

    (waves to “God” – hello God!)

  2026. Most terribly sorry about that, looks like those posts came out worse than I thought. Meerkats did not treat me nicely this second time. Anyhow: [sing to tune of happy birthday]

    Hippo, birdie two ewes,

  2027. Hey you all know that theory of apocalypse that supposed to happen in 2012, well next comment is 2012 so beware before you post it…

  2028. Crossing the Mercy is always to be recommended, if only as an excuse to listen to a great song.

    Sounds like neither Shylock nor Portia knew about liposuction, though. Ah, schools back then were not what they are now.

    Archie, can you work a talking donkey or vampire into it? They are all the rage.

    FFE, I will have to wait till the grocery stores reopen, but shall obtain many limes the instant they do.

    G Eagle, never underestimate my reach!

    DT, whatever you’re drinking, I hope someone brings it to my birthday potluck!

    KStaff, great to see you again. I had some JD and thought of the Derby two years ago…one day we have to go to Hastings Park. Sadly, they have no wifi!

  2029. So, we’re friends because you have the same sense of humour as my husband? I’m sure he’s told me that Quality of Mercy joke. He’s got others, you should compare notes!

    (I think I’m #2013!)

  2032. Lori, of COURSE he’s told you that joke; he stole it from me! And the Roy Rogers/Dale Evans joke? Also mine. I once got $20 NOT to tell that joke. It’s even longer than the Mercy one.

    DT you haven’t met Mr. Lori.

    Leeann, stick around. We shall convert you yet!

  2034. I’ve changed my mind.

    Over 2000 commenters have to be in collusion, and I’m not one to follow the slavering hordes, regardless of how popular their ideas might be.

    The meerkats had it right after all — fry up the little petulant dusty bastards and eat ’em with Dijon and scallops, especially on one’s Birthday, and you too may enjoy farting pixie dust for days to come. =)

  2038. I do believe in fairies. I do! I do!
    I do believe in fairies. I do! I do! I do!
    However, I don’t believe in dead fairies as when fairies die they just fade away to nothing. Everyone knows that.

    I flatter myself that I agree with Bambi on so many things

    ….. apart of course of whether that Kindly Christian the Ruddmonster should have been consigned to political oblivion and the Governorship of Western AustrAAAlia by a member of the Monstrous Regiment of Women

    rhaps we could compromise by appointing him to the late John Buchan’s old Job

    BUT Senor Bunk seems to be maintaining a Racoon-Like Sagacity by giving us only part of the answer to that perceptive Vegetable’s Qvestion

  2042. Bunk: aha, a traitor in our midst! I knew they’d get you: first the Republicans, then the meerkats. Richard Nixon and Dubya were well-known meerkat fanciers.

    DT: No.

    somethingsthat, that is a completely unsubstantiated claim, and we will have none of those around these parts. We are entirely scientific!

    Bambi: wow, I didn’t know deer could type!

    G Eagle is it really possible to “banish” someone to obscurity who’s already in…you know…Australia?

    FFE: I think we stole it from the same guy.

    The way of the Plant (or Republican) is commonly not felicitous with all these Herbivores (& Democrats) about

    Do not despise the Snake

    She may grow into a Dragon

    Das ist es, doch

  2046. rain– Au contraire. I re-perused the entire thread and realized the true nature of those little cutesy sparkly cretins. Take the tooth fairy, for example. She rewards tots with money for losing teeth. The loss of teeth is then equated with wealth. Stay with me here.

    When I was a young whelp, the Tooth Fairy gave me a dime, or sometimes a quarter for each tooth, and back then, a quarter could buy a lot. Now comes inflation, and I imagine the TF is paying around ten to fifty clams in 2010 dollars for each tooth lost. Little kids are learning that they’ve got a mouthful of unearned wealth, and all they have to do is mine the gold.

    That’s right. Little kids have figured out that they can cash in their teeth to purchase that Blackberry or X-Box that Daddy won’t, and they can do it with a screwdriver and a ballpeen hammer knowing that Daddy WILL pay for remedial dental work. Ever see a little boy or girl with a chipped tooth? Guess who’s behind it.

    Fairies are pure evil.

  2052. Hmm… Looks like a foetus, wrapped in leaves to me.

    Derbyshire, by the way, despite being my favourite county by a country mile, isn’t lacking when it comes to new-age fruitcakes. Hence the “fairy” I suspect.

    Ron,
    England.

  2054. Ron, don’t make jabs at a woman’s age, every man should this.

    You know, I envy your life, Rain.

  2056. Oh come on Rain, that’s the best part, especially diced, dry-roasted, infused with gin, and served on your best china with mint sprigs. Hervorragende!

    So, yes, Rain, of course I’m sure.

    I know that’s about as popular as saying you’re a Roman Polanski fan, but hey, love the art, hate the artist. And so it goes. I think Rodin was kind of a pig too. Bacon (Francis, not Kevin) married a 14 yr-old girl and cheated on her with young boys, but somehow in the 16th century that was okay. He’s grateful he pre-dated TMZ.

  2063. I would have to agree with Timethief in that this is one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen on the internet… photo-shopped exotic scenes notwithstanding. lol

  2066. My mouth. My tooth. I’ve no idea, but it probably would’ve given me something better to do.

  2072. LOL so fucking stupid. i mean you look at the pic and instantly think its real just cause there is a prop bag that is labeled police evidence. (which in fact is not a real evidence bag either.i would know;) and O…M…G like totally guess what!? Anyone can by latex gloves. if you notice in top image. the left hand lower arm bones are incorrect. if it were true then teh fairy would have been like popeye with HUGE fore arms. wing span can not support the mass weight of the body and if this was legit and this thing has been dead for long enough for it to be like this and mummified then the bottom right wing would be able to be bent and reflecting light as it is. DEF a good prop! movie set worthy. though dont be stupid.

  2073. @will–

    Okay. Let’s parse this a bit. Only two words in and you drop an immature and unnecessary f-bomb, and it’s not even used in a complete sentences.
    You’ve penalized your argument by arbitrarily ignoring capitalization, while at the same time you demonstrate that your caps key has not been removed and swallowed by snakes.
    Grammar, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt as you are obviously typing under serious duress.

    You’ve blindly stumbled into several years of careful debate and research, yet you claim to have it all figured out without reading any of the scientific analysis provided by Ms. Raincoaster and others here for your free education on the topic. I suggest you take advantage of the offer of knowledge, and I’ll even spot you three points for reading the following:

    1. Popeye was not a fairy.

    2. Bumblebees do not have the wing area to support their mass either.

    3. Anyone unable to comprehend the simple rules of the employment of apostrophes in sentient writing has no point of view worth serious consideration and their argument is null and void upon posting.

    Now please explain how you got your blog commenting license. It’s intuitively obvious to the casual observer that you didn’t pass the test.

    Yes … but not all of us can SchPell or Kapitalyse

    What do Bumble Bees have to do with Deceased Fairies ???

    AND surely the Conoscenti [pronunciated “Konn-o-Shenty] should be comparing the fate of this Poor Fairy with that of Mr Liberaci

  2076. Bunk, as you can see DT has established something of a tradition of misplaced single letters. Not to worry; you are culturally congruent in the thread, as is our miscellaneous, ungrammatical hater who knows (from personal experience?) what a police evidence bag looks like.

    GEagle, I believe the Conn O’Sennie are the Little People of Cork, but I could be mistaken. It might be Galway.

  2077. Bunk: *Clap-Clap-Clap-Clap*

    You left out one thing: In trying to kill our buzz, you, Will, have inadvertently served up a round of Jello-Shots to everyone. La Chaim! And whenever I personally entertain the notion that my mind is a stressful place to be, I will disabuse myself of the urge to reach for a Prozac and instead think of how much worse it could possibly be. Thank you for that.

    Now, I’ve had a particularly horrid day, I got into a car accident with a “tourist” who SLAMMED on his brakes while cutting me off in the middle of a green light crossing Sunset blvd. I was totally set up, and it’s going to be my fault. So please, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the Easter Bunny, I really need a pick-me-up.

  2078. lost weeknight– “Totally set up” happens frequently in So. Cal., but it doesn’t mean it’s your fault. Let the insurance companies argue that. As for the Easter Bunny, when he/she/it presents his/her/it to well-meaning parents, serves primarily to propagate head lice and tooth decay in small gullible children.

    Oh, and Herr Eagle, the plutocrats of our once prosperous state know that scaring the C and D students with the fear of losing police and fire protection is one tactic to help them confiscate more hard-earned money from a financially strapped population. Progress from Progressives…

  2080. I was going to say,”I’m so very alone on this forsaken blog.” but I seem to to have wrongly estimated it’s forsakeness.
    Nice to see you all…

  2081. Bunk: Yes I’ve turned the matter over to my insurance company and tried to let the whole thing go, but I’m hemorrhaging money this month with my little sister getting married so it couldn’t have come at a worse time. Thank goodness no one was hurt, so maybe my guardian fairy was looking out for me after all. But if you’ve ever seen one of those exposes on rear-end set-ups, this was it, right down to the rented Hyundai.

    As far as the Easter Bunny, don’t go all Glenn Close on me, who else is going to hide my eggs?

  2083. As for me, it’d take an awful lot of beer to get me on Oprah. I don’t care how wealthy she is. Just thinking about it gives me the willies…

    Oh, wait, you’re talking about her show, right? Nevermind. Tell her to call me.

  2086. Oh no! Rain, someone came and destroyed your poor blog, it’s all ugly now. How sad, maybe you should give some strong gin to cheer it up. Maybe then it will be pretty again.

  2088. I kind of like this theme, but it’s only temporary, till the HTML errors get straightened out.

    Where the HELL are my pingbacks? I had pingbacks from UNIVERSITIES on this thread!!!!

  2090. I myself was believing of fairies depending on some facts.anyway, better you do more reseaches and make us: fairy fans known of that fanastic reality.

  2091. this is soooooo fake!!!!!!!!!!!!
    those wings would have been long time gone. it would have disintegrate, same as that little body!!

  2092. I thought I had made it CLEAR that unsubstantiated claims of that nature were not welcome here. This is a fact-based blog, and we demand proof of statements such as that. When you can offer proof, then we’ll talk.

  2097. RKO Pictures presents “The Thread That Wouldn’t Die,” starring Claude Raincoaster, Vincent Price, Tinkerbell and a cast of thousands, coming to a drive-in near you.

    *And if you didn’t figure out yet, I am being sarcastic!*

  2107. You get so much love Raincoaster, so much love. I feel very jealous. I’m not sure if I actually am, but I feel like I am. Well, see you are loved but there is one crucial thing that you are missing in your life that I have, so I’m not sure how jealous I can be…
    By the way, Merry Monday the 25th of October at 6:00 (that’s 225101800+)
    Hope you enjoy it!

  2109. Well, since jealousy is a feeling, if you feel jealous, you are jealous. Glad I could clear up your confusion there.

    If you know what’s missing in my life, why don’t you pack it into a box and mail it over?

  2116. Rain, I think that would be illegal, considering what it is.
    Besides Bunk, I couldn’t give it to the poor thing anyway, I wouldn’t know where to send it… Oh well.

  2119. Hmmmmmmuuuuuhhhhhhmmmmdadadadaddaaaaaaaaaaahhhhrrrrrrgggggghmmmmmmmmmmyeah… I spose thadl wurk jusfine… Alternatively, we could meet up in a dark alley and have a massive party.
    Nah, I’ll just drink it myself.

  2120. Dang! That’s uh…Coast2CaostAm worthy. I’ll give them a call.
    On a more serious note you have the most unusually interesting blog
    that I’ve ever encountered. It really is a thing of beauty …
    You’re awesome rain …

  2122. I do believe they did exist at one point in time or another, for nothing is “really” impossible. we just like to declare it so. but we as human beings do not know everything, and I’m sure for good reason. our father has made many wonderful and beautiful creations throughout his everlasting existence. who are “we” to decide what is real and what is not…

  2123. OMG, we have a Logical Positivist Christian among us! I never thought such a thing could exist! Was sure they were entirely imaginary, just symbols for the repressed desires and fantasies of a constricted culture.

    Thank you. A million times, thank you.

  2126. Color me crazy, but I don’t think is a great idea to give your child the mummified remains of a fairy to play with… [somewhere a Fairy is screaming]

  2127. Well, I think it’s something like the neo-primitive Goth appeal of Jack Skellington. Tim Burton has a lot to answer for. What ever happened to Barbie? She’s outsold by Zombie Death Metal Barbie nowadays.

  2156. raincoaster,
    Why have you chosen that name? Why have you chosen the blue eye? Why have you chosen to talk about the fairies?

  2157. Life is amazing and mysterious. Most humans in this era has lost the hidden truths and little remains of the truth. Hold on to it, dont loose it!

  2158. I should do a post about why I have chosen this name/eye. And yes, live is as you say. I read a great saying earlier today “The path to success is never a straight line”. So true.

  2160. Raincoaster i hope people can still be nice and respect other peoples beleifs my mom always says if you don’t have any thing nice to say don’t say anything at all

  2163. Priorities, my young friend! If there weren’t bitches like me in the world, people would take your niceness for granted, instead of treasuring it like they should!

  2169. No, you can’t become a fairy. Fairies, like angels, are magical beings and a very different species from humans. Some people think you become an angel when you die, but that’s not true: you become a ghost or you pass on. You don’t turn into an angel. Angels and fairies are immortal. If you want to learn more about fairies, read old Irish legends. The Irish know a lot about fairies, even more than the people in Devonshire.

  2174. Well I’m from Greece and the Greeks aren’t fairy believers of that kind. I recently saw a documentary about it. We believe(d) that fairies are in the size of a human, without wings and mostly female. Well what can I say? Every nation has its folks and myths. If half of the Greek myths were for real, our nation would definately have been extinguished by all of our mythical creatures!! I do like fairies though ;)

I have thoroughly enjoyed your company (well most of you). I have especially enjoyed watching countless people comment on the fairy while completely missing the majority of you discussing a rather different species of fairy (of which I am one).

    Finally – Raincoaster – you rock!

  2189. Andrew, rain is too modest, at least as far as this thread goes. She rocks, she rolls, she stirs and she shakes. If there’s another blog that has a thread with a lifespan of more years than this one, lemme know.

    BTW, fairies suck donkeys unless you’re a preteen girl with the goal of studying animal husbandry for your 4H project.

  2191. I have to answer truthfully: No.

    I was merely a wallflower standing beside the water heater in the darkness of my parent’s garage every Friday and Saturday night, waiting for something, someone to break through the fog of despair.

    Then I’d snap out of it, grab my car keys and go barhopping looking for drunk girls with big bazooms.

  2195. i believe in you rain, i do believe in fairies, when i was 17yrs old, me and my friends had a trip in the forest, as we walk along there’s this one tree full of lights as we thought they are just a fire flies (it happen around 7pm eve) but when we move closer to that tree the lights fade off, and one of my friends saw it in front of his eyes its a fairy, he said that they are color yellow and black eyes. we wanted to tell this story to the media but we doubt it they wont believe in us. so we decided to keep it in are self, of course we tell this to our family. And guess what rain, when we try to go back to that tree, its already gone. Now can you explain that thing.? yeah lets just say there are just a fire flies (but we know there not) how can it be possible that the tree dissapear? i told you this story coz as i can see u know a lot about fairies. hope to hear from you raincoaster..

If aquatic apes are supposed to exist scientifically then why not the flying apes, we have one flying mammal on earth (bats).One can see the wings; they look like a dried leaf and one can see the veins. Even some insects have wings like that to fool predators. Bones are hollow like birds as mentioned. Its sad that no fossil records have been intimated. But still more than half of the planet earth is still to be explored. Nothing is impossible. I am not saying to believe something one has never seen, but try to think in a different perspective.

  2206. fairies do exist… I’ve read lots of books about them. Fairies in the old times were considered as normal as birds going around in the air… they didn’t normally appear to people.. and they always like to tease everyone.. they normally appear in front of children. and it is known that fairies are like spirits… they have all disappeared somewhere in the world where no people is seen and somewhere quiet… if someone wants to seek the truth about them they will eventually find their way out…now about this picture… i dont really believe its true…

  2207. It seems that to the author of this article, the opinion of forensic experts and anthropologists -if it was ever uttered as such- is not part of the scientific community. I guess he means scientists who studied at the Merlin the magician university for occult sciences or something like that… That “evidence” is just a photo of something that could well be a forgery…

  2208. If you wish to claim membership in the scientific community, one which makes claims only based on evidence, then you will need to explain your use of the male pronoun.

  2209. Oh, sorry twice. I happened not to notice that Raincoaster is obviously a female nickname, or just a little problem with the English language ;-P About claiming membership in the scientific community, I never tried, so it might be that your reading glasses are a bit dusty (maybe with magic fairy gold dust;-D And one last thingy: if you are so sure that this is real, why on earth do you get so pissed off? It might as well be a hoax to cover up the harsh reality of invisible fairies who seem to become visible when they die… certainly not a case for David Vincent, who is used to the contrary ;-D Sleep easy, female pal ;-)

  2211. Oh yes, it was on the BBC, it must be correct. Continue parroting what the media tell you, and while you’re at it, find us those WMD’s will you?

    In the mean time we will go with tactical, physical proof. The discoverer of the body put it up for sale so that anyone could have purchased and examined it. Did you? No. You’d rather have the Beeb do your thinking for you.

    Enough, sheeple!

  2232. You can certainly see your skills within the work you write.
    The world hopes for more passionate writers like you who aren’t afraid to say how they believe.
    At all times follow your heart.

  2233. Obviously you have never met the Raincoaster before. The rumours that she has a heart are completely baseless! That was given to Cthulhu many years ago. She does, however have remarkable writing skills.

  2234. Hey there! I’m at work surfing around your blog from my new iphone!
    Just wanted to say I love reading through your blog and look forward to all your posts!
    Carry on the superb work!

  2235. yep, they are not listed in the bible, they might be a way that the evil lord sent them to illusion christ he told satan his creation was not holy mattew where he jesus was on a tower said away satan your not from god side

  2237. Why would anyone of good conscience and true faith in the natural world care what “people in lab coats” say or believe about these findings? There are many unusual life forms that share this world.
    The unexplored depths of our oceans are full of life that is nothing short of unbelievable, so it should be accepted that the unexplored “oceans of the aetherial and spiritual” hold fantastic forms of life too.
    Love and believe in yourself and you will not be concerned with the words or beliefs of others who scorn you.

  2242. Having returned here after much research and cogitation I have come to the conclusion that this fairy is NOT dead. Dried and desiccated but not dead. It is in a state of suspended animation brought on by climate change. This state is brought on by an era of disbelief and rising temperatures. She (for fairies are always “she” and their reproduction habits are worth a lifetime of study) will revive when the beliefs of humankind change again as the stars align and the temperature of the planet cools once again. For has it not been written that that is not dead which can eternal lie for with long aeons even death may die.

    Oh, and Hi, Bunk.

  2244. That is a compelling argument but I would add that Brexit also occurred within 24 hours of the revival of this thread. Is Nigel Farage also a suspect? He is certainly assisting Rupert Murdoch.
