I just knew it.

I figured out why it is that the Queen of Air and Darkness can take hockey players in The True Tale of Carter Hall and assorted works.

It's all the Stars' fault.

What does the North Star symbolize? Constancy, right? The fixed, unmoving, immovable North Star. Everybody knew that.

The bastards up and moved to Dallas.

You can't draw on mythology when it suits you and then toss it away, tra la la, never mind, I didn't mean that the very symbol of constancy wanders around wherever it feels the urge. I just meant...er...something different. Yes, must be. It can't be what it looks like. La la la.

It is most likely a very dark and bloody thing to get this little problem fixed, especially with the new team name. The Wild? People, you really have to be careful what bacchanalias you summon. (This is a good rule for life.)

Let us not think what it means that the Whalers are not only now become Hurricanes, but that the Hurricanes have won.

Oh, wait. Let us. Because that kind of works, in that whole red-in-tooth-and-claw elemental-forces way.

don't you adore that thing where the universe warps itself to do your bidding?

I keep telling people that the Elizabethan books would have turned me into a freaky-ass conspiracy nut, convinced that THIS IS HOW IT REALLY HAPPENED, except for the part where I was clever enough to put Faeries in them.

I love that stuff.

I am reduced to incoherent admiration. Eloquence has fled.

Also I am going to watch out for bears near the new Garden. (Though Bear is welcome as always.)

It's pretty nifty, yes, and pretty scary. Especially because of what a key word "obviously" gets to be. You ask yourself a question: "Why hockey players? Sure, Tam Lin took a spill in front of the Queen, and that's why she can sacrifice him to Hell, but why was she at a hockey game in the first place when we've already established that she's not mad keen?" And the answer starts, "Well, obviously it's because of" and then you can stop right there, because you know that whatever thing comes out of your mouth next is going to be a total freakazoid wack-job right answer. I would make Twilight Zone nee-nee noises here, but mostly I just shake my head and giggle a little and go on with the thing at hand, and then the next one.

we are pattern-manufacturing machines.

Thank God; it keeps me in cat food.

Hee. Thanks.

As I seem to be in a poem quoting mode tonight, I will note that as long as you don't step on the cracks, you'll be fine.

"Lines and Squares"
by A.A. Milne

Whenever I walk in a London street,
I'm evr so careful to watch my feet;
And I keep in the squares,
And the masses of bears,
Who wait at the corners all ready to eat
The sillies who tread on the lines of the street,
Go back to their lairs,
And I say to them, "Bears,
Just look how I'm walking in all of the squares!"

And the little bears growl to each other, "He's mine,
As soon as he's silly and steps on a line."
And some of the bigger bears try to pretend
That they came round the corner to look for a friend
And they try to pretend that nobody cares
Whether you walk on the lines or squares.
But only the sillies believe their talk;
It's ever so 'portant how you walk.
And it's ever so jolly to call out, "Bears,
Just watch me walking in all the squares!"

Wow, it all does make perfectly good sense now! *loffs with the loff and adoration.*

See? You just keep me around for the sensible explanations of alarming phenomena.

So how does the dark minion Norm Green figure into the scheme? (And how frightening is it that I remember his name from when I lived in MN?)

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Green.

Golly, I hadn't thought of that, but it does seem to sap (ack, sap!) some of the frozen power to have green undermining it.

Meep.

[writingortyping.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. Green Man?
