I have a few friends who can see fairies. They (the fairies) don't like that term, though. They prefer "the Sidhe" (sounds like "she").

Good. It's nice to know that Omega isn't the only person who can see things that aren't there.

You know, when Comedy Central asked us to do a Thanksgiving episode, the first thought that went through my mind was, "Boy, I'd like to have sex with Jennifer Aniston."

He's dumbfounded and speechless, I suppose. One would assume he saw fairies. I can too. Although, it's a bugger to catch them to shove in bottles.

LSD should be tainted so that it kills more people. There'd be less shit websites around. And 'fairies'. And less shitty websites about fairies. But they're real of course, so only the web will get better.

Pass your salad. Double the tree moss please.

I'd say that you should give me some of the money you'd make ferrying fat old rich businessmen around who are too fat to walk because they're fat and have offended their cheauffers and have no more limosines.

Pay up, or eat a bag of hell.

Diane: Your friends think they can see Gaelic pixies? Have they considered checking themselves into a mental hospital...?

UM: Listing oneself as a fairy on an offical government census isn't funny? And repeated references to the man train are? All our humor are belong to you, I take it?

TSN: Not at all. I was quite being serious, in fact. On Valentine's day, we filled out matchmaker forms. I listed my occupation as 'Donut'. Snickers ensued from me. It's good fun.

Shik: Chicken Wings, then? Those silly little appendages of hair protruding from under Hockey players hats, and to my shame I once sported? Was that a Bubba? Oy.

"baen, agus claideath"

What's that supposed to mean, First? I've no idea what "baen" means - like bean = 'woman'?

At that point, McDonald fired his gun three times in the air to emphasize his point. The crowd, estimated at 350,000, loudly cheered the new candidate.

I also know a couple of people who have survived leukemia, and neither of them have since seen fairies. So that can't be it...

According to my source. it's a toast:

"Two things are very difficult to choose: a wife, and a sword."

Of course, it's been seven years since I saw it written down, so I may have muddled it slightly.

I memorized the toast for the marriage of two friends of mine.

Oh. I thought it was supposed to be that "stay on the path" tripe. No wonder I was puzzled, that would have began with 'N�...', not "da".

"Da ni dhuilich an tagadh... baen, agus claideath". Hmm.

Da -> Dh� Two

Ni -> Nigh Things

Baen -> Bean Woman

Claideath -> Claidheamh Sword

Not sure about the "an", but "dhuilach" looks about right.

=> Dh� nigh dhuilach a tagadh: bean, agus claidheamh.

I'm not being a nazi First, just setting the quote straight.
