Reminder: "Choirs of Shadow Flying by Violent Eclipse"

Are your creative choirs singing the glories of the eclipse yet? Or are they too busy ducking and weaving to avoid the debris swirling through the space around them?  In either case, grab hold of some of those shadowy ideas, glorious or otherwise, and work your magic on them before Time carries them into oblivion.

Winner: "Blasphemy and Unicorns"

Whoa, can it be?  Is it possible we have a reincarnated unicorn wandering in our midst?  Captivating  us with her memories of the way it all ended back in the day, our winner:

Avoid the fate of the unicorn, don't miss the boat. Should the last of the gentle unicorns also perish, they will continue to haunt your dreams and those of your children, who will never forgive us for letting such beauty disappear. We won't forgive if you forget to vote.

List your top 3 in the comments.  Don't vote and we'll give you the finger!



Just 2.5 days to vote. The winner will be announced on the 14th. Fact or fantasy? Even Marco Polo saw such fabulous things, "Here are wild elephants in the country, and numerous unicorns which are nearly as big."

Reminder: "Blasphemy and Unicorns"

'But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn.' (Psalms 92:10)
Hmm... had a man say that to me once. Seriously...it wasn't worth exalting, but it was pretty amazing nonetheless. Only a few days to redeem yourself. Swing the leg over and hope you don't fall off...(Yeh, this Admin's definitely going to Hell!)

"Blasphemy and Unicorns"

The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars; yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. (Psalms 22:21) 
Holy Moly! The horned ones are in the Bible? And we thought it was a work of fiction! Blasphemy I hear you say? I think not baby puppies. The Wuestmeister has chosen....

Apparently the Big Guy In The Sky has the strength of a Unicorn and their tears can heal all. Pulling the two together might end up being a miracle but hey...sometimes magic happens. Break a horn punters and do your damndest. (God, we're blaspheming again!).
