The most random thread ever!!!

[LT Sandpaw]

Well, if someone want's to argue against it they can start a Hearth thread. I'd be happy to debate them.

Thanks for posting that Ashe.

[The Skarzs]

I'll pass. And I think Peony would be happy to vigorously argue against an argument.

[Lady Ashenwyte]

TBH I didn't post it to start an argument just wanted to post some information.

My li'l sis wrote a "Unicorn Pride and Prejudice" I am highly amused.

Unicorn Pride and Prejudice

It is a truth unicornilly acknowledged that a single horse in possession of a good apple must be in want of a pie
However little known the feelings or views of such a horse may be on his first entering a unicornhood this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding unicorns that he is considered as the rightful property of some unicorn or other of their fillies

My dear mr unicorn said his unicorness to him one day have you not heard that unicorn park is let at last?
Mr unicorn replied that he had not
But it is returned she  for mrs longhorn has just been here and she told me all about it
Mr unicorn made no answer
Do you not want to know who has taken it cried mrs unicorn impatiently
You want to tell me and i have no objection to hearing it
That was invitation enough
Why my dear you must know mrs longhorn says that unicorn park is taken by a young horse of large apple from the north of cornland  that he came down on monday is a chaise and four to see the place and was so much delighted with it that he agreed with mr cornish immediately that he is to take possession before apple day and some of his ponies are to be in the park by the end of next week
What is his name?
Trotley
Is he married or single
Oh! Single my dear to be sure! A single man of large apple four or  five thousand apples a year what a fine thing for our fillies!
How so how can it affect them?
My dear mr unicorn replied his wife how can you be so tiresome! you must know that i am thinking of his marrying one of them.
Is that his design in settling here?
Design! nonsense how can you talk so ! but it is very likely that he may fall in love with of them and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes
I see no occasion for that. You and the fillies may go or you may send them by themselves which perhaps may still be better for for you are as handsome as any of them mr trotley might like you best of the party.
My dear you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty but i do not pretend to be anything extraordinary now. When a unicorn has five grown up fillies she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty
In such cases a unicorn has not often much beauty to think of
But my dear you must indeed go and see mr trotley when he comes to the unicornhood
It is more than i engage for i assure you
But consider your fillies.only think of what an establishment it  would be for one of them. Sir corniam and lady cornus  are determined to go merely on that account for in general you no they visit no new unicorns. Indeed you must go for it will be impossible for us to visit him if you do not.

This is amazing and I appreciate your sister's humour.

Though I must say, the lack of capitalization made me realize my OCD is worse than I thought.

... So I just found out about Home-Owners Associations... what? Are they a real thing? How stupidly authoritarian are they usually? And can you tell them to stuff it without ramifications?

"Neighbourhood values." What a ridiculous concept.

[Feles]

Are they a real thing?
Yes.
How authoritarian are they?
Nobody can shoot a BB gun in our neighborhood.
Can you tell them to stuff it without ramifications?
No.

[Banya]

Are they a real thing?
Yes.
How authoritarian are they?
No cars could be parked on the street or in driveways overnight in my grandmother's old neighbourhood.
All houses had to be one of three colours and front doors one of four colours.
All trees had to be encircled with a certain type of stone.
All leaves had to be raked promptly and yards maintained.
All bushes had height restrictions.
Whites only Not really but...
Can you tell them to stuff it without ramifications?
No.

[Maudie]

That's ridiculous!

[Banya]

She never planned to live there long anyway.

On one hand, if you don't like it, don't live there. On the other, there are restrictions that do go above and beyond ridiculousness. Like most of those.

[Feles]

America is ridiculous

[Maudie]

And it's gonna get more ridiculous with Trump's inauguration...

[Groddil]

And it's gonna get more ridiculous with Trump's inauguration...

Care to explain how?

[Feles]

Ha, that's what the internet is for.
