  1. et tu Ark?

    gag.


  2. Is this some sort of joke? I’ve not heard of this at all.


  3. they’re still saying that students are the crazy ones, right?


  4. They’ve been refinishing those doors ALL SUMMER, it feels like. The same guy, sanding, sanding, sanding, every day.


  5. don’t gag, the door craze is a good thing. any photos?


  6. Dr Diag I simply must challenge you to tell us the original Dr Diags real name if you can. I’ll even give you a hint, the initials are R. R.
    I guess it just feels like if you’re going to cop it you are going to want to back it up. If not to me, at least at parties and such.


  7. When a blurb about an adult kickball league and DDR tourney’s get usurped by fairy doors, that’s when you know something is a bit out of whack in the town.


  8. I’ve heard they’re installing men’s *fairy urinals* at the Grizzly Peak…and they’re selling little itsy-bitsy growlers too.

    Blog on!

  9. What the heck is this fascination with East Germany anyway? And what does an East German tourney entail?

    For Endurance - Wait in line for food, if you collapse before you get fed. You lose.

    For speed - Try to scale the Wall. Watch out for the mines and machine gun towers

    Other - Snitch on your neighbor. Bonus points if the Secret Police pick him up. Even more points if he’s kept for over 24 hours.


  10. hi - - i must admit that I can barely remember what dr. diag looked like.
    I know he wasn’t the guy with the big ‘M’ cowboy hat. If I knew that guys name I might have used it s well. I was simply trying to conjour up a salute to a simpler time and place and the copped handle was purely meantas tribute. If you would like I will conceed its use. But I would still like to know the answer to the challenge…


  11. Richard Robinson, a large man, african american, very close cropped hair, usually wore a VERY large buttoned down shirt outside of his pants as he had a somewhat protruding belly. Seemed to always wear brown pants and shoes or maybe I’m imagining things.
    Now if I’m not mistaken the guy in the cowboy hat - skinny white guy dirty blonde hair? might be Prince.
    By all means use it, say I. I was just curious as to whether you were around then or were some youngster trying to, without knowing the reality, co-opt a symbol of, as you say, a simpler time and place.
    Mickey Rats, man I did some serious time wasting there.


  12. My kid digs the fairy doors so we indulge her. A little research on the guy who is behind the whole thing, though, shows that he’s also an “erotic illustrator.” Picture a weensy little fairy jacking off a giant cock. Now days, it’s a little difficult to separate the creation from the creator…


  13. OH. MY. EYES.


  14. Oh, BlogLurker, you suddenly made walks around that side of town SO MUCH more enjoyable. And the conversations that could ensue with the tourists! Oh, by gosh, the possibilities!


  15. So, now that the “fairy door” moniker is taken, what am I supposed to call the ones with rainbow stickers on them?


  16. I’m here to help. Currently, I’m keeping my eyes peeled for any erotically suspicious items in the fairy store just inside the main door of Peaceable Kingdom. It makes me wonder if there’s a little fairy S&M den down those stairs.


  17. Those fairies wear boots, yeah you gotta believe me.
    I saw it I saw it with my own two eyes.


  18. HA! Good play, David. First comment I’ve seen in a while that I’ve laughed at.
