Re: So quiet in De Smet

Is it just me or doesn't anyone post here anymore? It's been quiet for the past couple of days... Are the faeries demanding a rest?
No, what happened was that some of the Topsie-Turvets got it into their heads to go visit the Laura Ingalls Wilder house and museum in De Smet, South Dakota. Now, we all know that it's winter and South Dakota is not the place to go in winter but faeries will get notions and you can't dissuade them.
Faeries are a bit like cats, when they open the door they expect it to be green grass and red-wing blackbirds and honeysuckle berries and such, and they are always surprised by snow, ice and harsh winds. This time however, they had the foresight to nab a newly refurbished '56 Cadillac with white leather upholstery and a fabulous red paint job. Leather is not known for it's warm qualities so they stuck some dead moss in the back seat, misted it, and cranked the heater up. The humidity of the lush woods of summer then enveloped them, and they were off on their road trip singing stuff like "King of the Road" and "The Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer" and hankering for some pretzels and lemonade.
I understand they entered a Taco Bell in Nebraska while sheltering over and caused quite a scene when they discovered Seven Layer Burritos. Everybody knows not to give faeries guacamole, what were they thinking?
The Topsies haven't been heard from since. I wouldn't be surprised if they were headed to Mexico singing "Guadalajara."
Staff training in fast food outlets has really gone downhill.
