Badger Princess on Princess Royal vs. the Badgers

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/artic…

The Badger Coalition would like to refute these heinous allegations. A representative of BCI was contacted about the incident, and they were quoted as saying "growlgrowlsnarlbovinespithissgrowlbarkyiptuberculosissnarlmutterrumble...." The translation was too heated for this reporter to print, but it seemed to stress that this is an outbreak of bovine TB, not badgerine TB, and the implication was insulting and that moreover, the Princess Royal could sod off.

Men who are 5'8" rule the world

Did I ever mention, that during my dating years ... and there were many ... the majority of the guys I attracted were over six feet tall?

Yeah, it's the truth.

Here I am, this wee little thing at five feet, barely two inches tall, and I am dating dudes 6'1", 6'2", 6'3" and 6'7".

Whoa.

It was never ideal, for so many reasons.

Slow dancing isn't that great nor that easy.

Walking hand in hand, you feel like the little girl with the big man ... even if he's younger than you.

You can think of a trillion more reasons.

Anyway, it's so wonderful to be married to a man who's 5'8". He may think he's short, but he's pretty tall to me.

Of course, his height isn't the only reason I love him. It certainly is a plus. ;^}

I was weighed at the veterinary hospital this morning and I am proud to report that my weight has increased by one and a half pounds.

I'm rather proud.

But I'm prouder still to be wee.

Figured it was time I joined this fair group, especially now that I know there's an opportunity of a coup against the TooTalls.

Just under five two, most folks don't mention my weeness (to my face), but they do seem to notice how small my fingers are. Everyone has to comment, and then they have to compare. "Wow, you hands are so small. Your fingers are tiny. Just like a kid's hand."

I really enjoy being wee. Wee can get through crowds way faster than anyone. If you're like me, you just duck slightly and push on through like a little motorized car. zoom zoom zoom. zig zig zag zag zoom. If the crowds get too thick, there may be victims in my wake, and they don't even know who offended them ... cause I just zoom right on outta there. By the time they look around, all they see is one big crowd of folk. I'm long gone.

Thanks, Badbha!

A Pict Song

Rome never looks where she treads.
Always her heavy hooves fall
On our stomachs, our hearts or our heads;
And Rome never heeds when we bawl.
Her sentries pass on -- that is all,
And we gather behind them in hordes,
And plot to reconquer the Wall,
With only our tongues for our swords.

We are the Little Folk -- we!
Too little to love or to hate.
Leave us alone and you'll see
How we can drag down the State!
We are the worm in the wood!
We are the rot at the root!
We are the taint in the blood!
We are the thorn in the foot!

Mistletoe killing an oak --
Rats gnawing cables in two --
Moths making holes in a cloak --
How they must love what they do!
Yes -- and we Little Folk too,
We are busy as they --
Working our works out of view --
Watch, and you'll see it some day!

No indeed! We are not strong,
But we know Peoples that are.
Yes, and we'll guide them along
To smash and destroy you in War!
We shall be slaves just the same?
Yes, we have always been slaves,
But you -- you will die of the shame,
And then we shall dance on your graves!

We are the Little Folk, we, etc.

-- Rudyard Kipling
