Off Topic Humour



I thought I'd add some humour to the blog. Now, I know this doesn't have anything to do with writing or coffeehouse, teahouse fare, but I thought readers would enjoy this until I whip up another Flash Fiction lesson of one sort or another.

You might be Pagan if:

1. When you're sworn in in court, you bring your own grimoire.
2. Painting yourself blue, spiking your hair, and dancing naked around a bonfire sounds like large amounts of fun.
3. When asked if you believe in God, you ask, "Which one?"
4. You know what "widdershins" means. You know when to apply it.
5. You think The Mists of Avalon should be a religious text. You use it as such.
6. You have friends who say they are elves. You believe them.
7. You commit blasphemy in the plural.
8. Upon dying, your first thought is, "Darn it, not AGAIN."
9. When you say "Mother Nature," you don't mean it in an anthropomorphic way.
10. You know that there are exceptions to the laws of physics. You've caused them.
11 The first thing your guests say is, "My, that's a nice...altar. ..you have there."
12. You understand the symbolism behind a maypole.
13. You've ended a phone call with "so mote it be."
14. Your children go around telling people that "the Goddess loves you."
15. On Halloween, you yell "Happy New Year!" at passers-by.
16. You know that Christmas trees were originally pagan symbols. That's why you bought one. 17. You have a frequent buyer card at the local antique bookstore. The proprietor of said bookstore picks out anything to do with the Celts and saves it for you.
18. You think Mercedes Lackey should be a cultural icon.
19. Gaia is NOT the lady on Captain Planet.
20. You have an entire spice cabinet and you don't cook. You know that laurel and bay leaves are the same thing.
21. In Religion 100, you were disappointed because they didn't cover YOUR gods.
22. You know that there is a right way and a wrong way to draw a pentacle. You can explain the difference.
23. You've spent the last year and a half looking for a familiar.
24. You talk to trees. They talk back.
25. You know dragons and faeries exist. You've seen them.
26. You've been seen talking to cats. They talk back. You understand what they're saying.
27. You've seen "The Craft." You know where they were making stuff up in "The Craft." You have explained this to other people. You can do it better than they did it in "The Craft." You know it's a load of crap.
28. You're reading this page. You understand what it's talking about. You have more to add.

I don't know who put this together originally, so I don't know who to attribute this to. It is on the boards in my Yahoo groups and in My Space, Facebook and myLot threads already.

Free Flash Fiction

If you are interested in learning more about Flash Fiction - or you just want to wander the web and find more Flash Fiction sites, here is a great online resource page.

Red Inkworks - Flash Fiction page

There are well over 30 other sites listed here, along with a short explanation of what each site or page offers - all Flash Fiction sites or pages, with a little 'short story' format thrown in - so you won't have to wade through other literature types along your way.

You'll also find quite a few little Flash Fiction competitions, lessons, and reviews while browsing around the pages listed on the Red Inkworks site.

Grab your coffee or tea, and pull your most comfortable chair up to the computer, because this collection of sites housed on the Red Inkworks page is really engaging. You won't want to just browse for a minute or two - especially once you hit some of the stories.

Enjoy!
