Greetings, Readers!
I have not mentioned recently enough how bizarre your world is to me.
I need to ask. Cow abductions? What on earth? Why would they want cows?
I think that the point is that they’re being abducted by ones who are not from Earth.
Oh…
I still do not understand.
Neither does anyone else.
It’s fun, though!

Greetings, readers! I bid you a joyous Wednesday.
Today’s post is slightly non-seasonal. Given that there is apparently an overabundance of Christmas even though it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, though, I think that sharing a story that is slightly behind the season might average things out. Don’t you agree?
The story I’m sharing is sweet, funny, and possibly a bit sad. It takes place in a world where demons are available as pets. From what I understand, this is the only difference between your world and the world of this story.
This story brings to mind some of the more interesting creatures from my home. It’s a fairly accurate depiction of some of the lesser imps, actually. It makes me wonder if some of them may have escaped my world and made it into the world of this story.
The story itself is called Brimstone and Marmalade. I highly recommend it!

Greetings, readers! Welcome to this Saturday’s edition of TotalFluff’s Daily Fluff.
This week, I came across a rather interesting YouTube video. It was a different version of Star Wars Episode I: Phantom Menace.
The fellow in the video talks about what he would have done differently if he was in charge of the Star Wars prequels. (Warning, I don’t remember if there’s any “language” involved.) The video is a bit long, but his description of what he would turn Phantom Menace into makes it sound like an amazing movie. I wish I could see this actually happen.
The fact of the matter is that the way this fellow presents his ideas, it looks like it would be a good movie. The interplay of light and dark, the development of jealousies, temptation, all of those go into the classic story. I also approve of removing the Gungan from the movie.
What about you, readers? What did you think of this fellow’s suggestions?

Greetings, Readers.
To start your work week off, I am providing you with another YouTube video. This one gives a miniature lecture on the art of drawing borders. It is worth watching.
I think my personal favorite part is about the lighthouses, tourists, and lobster fishermen. Either that, or the fact that members from both Canada and the United States need to cross the border multiple times a day in order to receive higher education.
My country does things very differently.
I hope your week is less bizarre, but as amusing as, the Canadian / United States border.

Salutations, readers all! I hope that you are doing well on this day.
Today, I will be discussing a problem concerning wording in your language. More to the point, the lack of the use of certain expressions and phrases. There are words that English has that are not used frequently enough.
1) Sesquipedalian. This was the best word to start with that I could think of. I am writing this post because I have discovered that I am one. A Sesquipedalian, for those who don’t know, is one who loves long words. This should not be confused with hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia, or the supposed word that means “fear of long words.”
It’s not just a “supposed” word, Fluffy, it’s real.
Oh? Why do you say that?
There’s a YouTube song about that word.
That’s… slightly disturbing. But I digress.
2) Enigma. It’s puzzling to me why this one is not used more frequently. This word, after all, has the potential to cause confusion. At the very least, it can describe the confusion. “The confusion was enigmatic.” Yes, that may be redundant. It is still descriptive.
3) Alacritous / alacrity. If you get this definition quickly, you’ve gotten this word. Yes, alacrity means speed and quickness. It also has a musical tone to it. Why say “speedy” when you can say alacritous? Why use the phrase “with great haste” when you can say “with alacrity?” Using alacrity is alacritious.
4) Penultimate. This is a marvelous word. Penultimate. It means “next to last.” You’ll notice that I’ve placed it in the appropriate location, to further demonstrate my point.
5) Perspicacity. If you use this word, you’re sure to sound perspicacious. This word means keen and shrewd. Discourse everywhere would improve with more perspicacity in the arguments.
Have a good day, fluffsters.

Salutations, readers! I wish you a wonderful Thursday.
Recently, I have discovered an interesting form of “fluff”. In fact, it is a form that I rather like. It is fluff that is useful.
Specifically, it is an online game that encourages good typing skills. It is called z-type.
I have spent time watching people play this game, and it looks interesting. I suggest you try it- you might enjoy it. At the very least, your typing or spelling might improve. It might not, but it might.
I wish you the best of days, readers!

Greetings unto you, readers all!
Today, in my perusal of the vast amounts of information now available, I came across a rather interesting article. I appreciated this article in part because it uses the word “faff”. That is a wonderful word, is it not?
The article discussed the various routines and habits of creative minds throughout history, and provides an analysis of the author’s attempts to imitate those habits. I have to admit, some of them looked like they would be rather interesting to try.
If you are looking for some easy to read ideas for self-improvement, I recommend reading the article.
I hope you have a joyous Tuesday!

So, I was thinking about the movie Tangled. And I have some
1) How did Mother Gothel know what song to sing to the flower? Does she just randomly sing to flowers, hoping that one of them will heal her of some disease?
Why are there no more flowers like this? Did the flower not have seeds? Why did the king’s men completely kill the plant? Couldn’t they have kept a small clipping for future use?
3) If Mother Gothel’s life was tied to the power of the flower… well, where did the power go? Why did she die right then, instead of of dying at “the time she would have” after having been regenerated most recently?
What about you, readers? Are there any other questions you think are not answered about Tangled?

Greetings, readers! I hope you are in excellent health.
As I was once again perusing this new world, I came across a wonderful place called “Project Gutenberg.” It is devoted to books that are out of print, and are therefore free to read.
One of the books I discovered is “The Scarlet Pimpernel.”
I do not want to give any spoilers. I will say this, however: I really enjoyed it. It had a touch of melodrama, it was set in a bloody era of your history, and there were cunning characters, and a fair bit of humor as well.
If you have time, I highly recommend reading it.

Greetings, Readers! I bid you a joyous weekend!
Since there’s not much else for me to do, I’ve been exploring my new world (what you call the internet) again.
I ended up at my dear friend YouTube’s place, and came across a lovely gem.
It’s a surprisingly creepy deleted scene from Disney’s Lion King. There are several aspects of it that I like.
1) It includes extra information for why Nala left her family. Why would she leave the pridelands to seek probably nonexistent help, instead of just fighting against the tyranny? This scene explains that.
2) It ties The Lion King in with the Hamlet tradition even more strongly. There are some differences, of course, but I’ll let you watch the deleted scene before analyzing it further.
Isn’t that interesting?
Now, a bit of further analysis on the Hamlet tradition. Did you catch the line in there that was very close to “kill a king and marry his brother”? I concede, it’s a bit of a stretch. The line was actually “it’s like any other to murder a brother…” and then I missed the next several words. Given that Lion King is just Hamlet with Lions, though, I am seeing references even when they might not exist.
Another way in that the scene differs from traditional Hamlet: Scar should be more interested in Sarabi than Nala. I’m guessing that there would have been more of a problem with plot if Scar were, in fact, interested in Sarabi though.
But that deleted scene adds an interesting aspect, doesn’t it?
