Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for August 11, 2009

Much more realistic, I fear.

Funny; I don’t remember that chapter in my edition!

“Happpily ever after,” meant, say your prayers and get some shut-eye.”

The truth behind the fairy tales is rather Grimm. May I suggest “The Jessie Willcox Smith Mother Goose” for an interesting insight to some of those little ditties?

Never did like those Grimm brothers.

“Ever after” just doesn’t mean what it used to.

As a matter of fact, I wouldn’t mind seeing that edition of Mother Goose.

“Everafter” anymore means indentured.

Tenn. Charlie - I remember very well those Fractured Fairy Tales; I grew up with them.

This is way past fractured, this is more like Crash & Burn, baby!

TN Charlie you can add me to the list of fans of Fractured Fairy Tales. I also liked Aesop & Son. (Not to mention the rest of the show.) I couldn’t believe it, at first, when I found out that William Conrad was the narrator of the Bullwinkle episodes.

My favorite FFT was the one where the Prince didn’t awaken Sleeping Beauty, but instead built a theme park around her. It was one of the best parodies of Disney I’ve ever seen.

Never did like Bullwinklle. Hey Rocky, watch me pull a lion out of my hat. Lame.

lived happily ever after and til death do us part are things of the past,

No, they are not, far from it – but you have to believe that such things are possible first. Then, you have to know how to make them happen. Many, many people still do.
