The Little Girl and the Wolf

One afternoon a big wolf waited in a dark forest for a little girl to come along carrying a basket of food to her grandmother. Finally a little girl did come along and she was carrying a basket of food. "Are you carrying that basket to your grandmother?" asked the wolf. The little girl said yes, she was. So the wolf asked her where her grandmother lived and the little girl told him and he disappeared into the wood.

When the little girl opened the door of her grandmother's house she saw that there was somebody in bed with a nightcap and nightgown on. She had approached no nearer than twenty-five feet from the bed when she saw that it was not her grandmother but the wolf, for even in a nightcap a wolf does not look any more like your grandmother than the Metro-Goldwyn lion looks like Calvin Coolidge. So the little girl took an automatic out of her basket and shot the wolf dead.

(Moral: It is not so easy to fool little girls nowadays as it used to be.)

Careful! Making fun of this, or people literally magicposting, apparently makes you a fedora athiest to some folks on this forum.

Thats better than it is on Twitter, where it makes you a misogynist homophobe.

You sure they blocked you? I reckon that switched their privacy settings so now you can't see their stuff unless they added you first.

Nothing good happens. It’s all kinda hacky futurist optimism.

No, i've literally been called a fedora athiest for saying folks who believe in Grant Morrison style "Chaos Magick" are ridiculous, on this forum. Not in PYF, but its definitely happened. Same with astrology. There are some special folks in C-SPAM.

I only got flak from a couple of people, and it was relatively civil, but yeah, laughing at astrology is surprisingly controversial.

I think it’s safe to dunk on antivaxers, at least.

Chaos magick and occultism are fun, don’t be a wet blanket. This is coming from a non-believer who only hangs out in d&d advanced cspam
