I forget whether or not it was raining.

The rain - just as, in Lady Bracknell's estimation, the line also, in Ernest's case - was, I believe, immaterial.

Wotchit Kicky.

Hey...... just got back from the dual birthday dinner. I got my mother a pea green cotton sweater she may actually like and a faded red linen 'jacket' - the liklihood that she'lllike that are a little slimmer. I got my brother a 9 piece, wood-boxed, assortment of kickyass chocolates from a local chocolatier and a black feather boa.

Nice thread, Deb, with very worthy intentions.

(BTW, I never did get this "flirting" thing. Confused

The how/where/why of it & the art of it. Perhaps we can have an "all you ever wanted to know about ...." thread on the subject one day? :wink: For us backward folk.
But for now, please disregard this comment or Deb will be very, very angry with me! ..... Shocked

)

OK, back to the topic now! Quickly!

Now - do you want persiflage and a martini, or trouble?

Pooka? Sounds like my daughters favorite bear.

Somehow, I am the bunny doesn't quite have the panache of Lennon's description of Paul.

And why capitalize Bunny. Is Bunny some kind of lodge officer or something? Ah! That's what a Pooka is! Here in the U.S. we have the Elks, the Lions, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, etc. Wouldn't be caught dead as an NRA card totin' bunny rabbit.

And how do you get the smoke out of your fur?

Grrrrrr - this is the original, Celtic version of the Pooka:

Variants: phouka, puca

No fairy is more feared in Ireland than the pooka. This may be because it is always out and about after nightfall, creating harm and mischief, and because it can assume a variety of terrifying forms.

The guise in which it most often appears, however, is that of a sleek, dark horse with sulphurous yellow eyes and a long wild mane. In this form, it roams large areas of countryside at night, tearing down fences and gates, scattering livestock in terror, trampling crops and generally doing damage around remote farms.

In remote areas of County Down, the pooka becomes a small, deformed goblin who demands a share of the crop at the end of the harvest: for this reason several strands, known as the 'pooka's share', are left behind by the reapers. In parts of County Laois, the pooka becomes a huge, hairy bogeyman who terrifies those abroad at night; in Waterford and Wexford, it appears as an eagle with a massive wingspan; and in Roscommon, as a black goat with curling horns.

The mere sight of it may prevent hens laying their eggs or cows giving milk, and it is the curse of all late night travellers as it is known to swoop them up on to its back and then throw them into muddy ditches or bogholes. The pooka has the power of human speech, and it has been known to stop in front of certain houses and call out the names of those it wants to take upon its midnight dashes. If that person refuses, the pooka will vandalise their property because it is a very vindictive fairy.

The origins of the pooka are to some extent speculative. The name may come from the Scandinavian pook or puke, meaning 'nature spirit'. Such beings were very capricious and had to be continually placated or they would create havoc in the countryside, destroying crops and causing illness among livestock. Alternatively, the horse cults prevalent throughout the early Celtic world may have provided the underlying motif for the nightmare steed........

More Pooka lore

However, the modern Pooka is epitomised by Harvey, the six foot white Bunny in the film with Jimmy Stewart.

I am one of these.

We are human size, and spelt with a capital B to differentiate us from rabbits.

And we can be very mean.

And I don't really smoke.

It is a prop.

Oooookaaaaaaay.

1. You gotta warn folks if a link goes to questionable material.
B. You violated the theme of your own thread with that ugly thing.

So... you seen any good movies lately? I hear that When Hairy Met Sally is good. Or would that be When Fairy Met Sally?
