Ah, Hal Hartley! I get the feeling I saw this. It looked familiar, but I couldn’t place it…

I chuckled while reading this but then wondered what it would be like if our Christian fundies could exert this much control over our public works based on the “feelings” of invisible friends.

Sure they dug it out and hosed it off, but the Elves are weeping. It will never be what it was.

My (now 74 yo) dad used to tell me a joke about an elf village being repeatedly run over by idiots diving Mini Mokes.

It all ended well when they put up a sign saying “Moking is an Elf hazard”.

Ever since, this has been the benchmark by which I’ve judged dad jokes.

That’s also what I wonder about the Japanese and their kami.
