The Language Fairy

[cjsmith]

The Language Fairy has crafted a magic spell and set it adrift on gossamer wings. :-)

(Yeah, I'm being mysterious. But I *love* playing "The __________ Fairy"! Sometimes I'm a Foot Fairy, or a Sure-I-Have-Some-Painkillers Fairy... today I'm the Language Fairy. Poof! *tinkling fairylike laughter*)

I've been various things... the Halloween Duckie Fairy, the GPSr Fairy, the Asthma Fairy. It's always fun to pass things along to people who need them more than I do, or those who would be amused by the more frivolous fairy deeds. I blame the 2400-Baud-Modem Fairy, who started it with me a decade ago.

the 2400-Baud-Modem Fairy

Oh, that is excellent! The techie gadget with "fairy" is deliciously surreal. I almost wish I had a 2400-baud modem so I could use the phrase 2400-Baud Modem Fairy.

Back in college we used to have occasional visits from the Toast Fairy. Toast would appear thumbtacked to the bulletin boards on everyone's dorm room door.

deyo is a fabulous Coffee Fairy, especially for one neither very into coffee, nor much of a fairy. ;)

After my undertaking this morning, how about The Registration Fairy. Soon to be followed by The Bursar Fairy? ;-)

Bwahahaha! 8-) Um, good luck!

Ooh. I have a couple of people I'd like you to whack with your magic wand then, please. :)

I'll be only too happy to whack certain people with my magic wand.

(It's detachable.)

tee hee! I call mine The Attribute! As in, I know why they wouldn't listen when I said it in the meeting, I didn't have The Attribute. And thus a name is born.

I've heard an apocryphal story about a woman who kept hers in a drawer. For particularly egregious conversations she'd whip it out just to demonstrate that she had one.

ooh! the language fairy, eh? at first i thought you meant something completely different (more along the linds of Grammar Police) but now that i figured out what you mean, i can't wait til the Language Fairy lands and does her thing. *insert evil cackle here*

You make a terrific Language Fairy. It's the cackle.

*sweet and innocent smile* :)

Yes, many kinds of fairy are fun.

I have a friend who is the PC *computer* fairy. But he does not with to be a fairy, so we renamed him the Computer Elf.

Personally, there are a few fairies I'm hoping to get to come and visit, but I also want a house elf to come by now and then.

Regular visits from a house elf would be most excellent.
