Multi"cultural" - Poltergeists - Filk Song - Texas Tortures - Starving Artist

[Catlady]

Ebony wrote this great post on multiculturalism and race, and I feel
guilty that I can't think of anything to add.

I had a thought the other day about poltergeists. It seems to be
generally accepted in this real world that a poltergeist is not a being,
but an effect: all that crashing and banging is caused by unconscious
psychokinesis by a frustrated teen. But if a poltergeist were a being,
as Peeves seems to be a being,  if it were a being that ate frustrated
lust and frustrated anger, that would explain why it hangs around places
with frustrated teens, and it could make all the crashing and banging in
order to enrage the people in order to eat their frustrated (because
what can you do to a poltergeist?) rage.

It actually wasn't me who snipped the HP song, it was my friend who
forwarded the other part to me. I've asked her about the song, but if
she doesn't reply (I can't remember whether she is out of town this
weekend), all I can do is suggest trying rec.music.filk, the origin of
the forwarded e-mail.

Speaking of the forwarded e-mail, Thank You ENDER, I passed your info on
to my friend.

Personally, I think the character should be Ha-i-ry Paw-ter, and be a
cat. Meow.

Amanda,
Southern California has heat, deserts, black widow spiders, brown
recluse spiders,  rattlesnakes, and has recently acquired fire ants and
killer bees. That leaves only scorpions as your claim to fame -- and it
is asserted that the LA suburb which recently adopted the classy name
West Hills used to be named Rancho Escorpion...
      I've been thinking about those Quidditch teams. If Quidditch is so
unpopular in US, it would be logical for US teams to represent a larger
geographical area than in places where it is more popular -- shouldn't
that team be Los Tornados Tejanos rather than the Sweetwater All-Stars?
(SoCal has only tiny miniature tornadoes that can't do worse than tear
the roofs off one or two houses.)

Amber,
It's pretty easy to acquire a starving boho artist/musician/writer of
your own. You just have to financially support him, do his laundry, go
applaud all his shows (that's for a musician), maybe sometimes bail him
out of jail...
