The carnivorous sheep of Skye

As we all know, Flickr has its funny little ways. There doesn't seem to be anything to be done about this: you ignore it you find a workaround, or you go elsewhere. I'm not enthusiastic about its new trick of adding tags to my pictures, but mostly I pretend not to notice.

I have just uploaded the last batch of photos from Skye (so there may be another holiday post quite soon) and this was one of them:

Sheep


I tagged it with the location 'hebrides, skye' and then on second thoughts went back to add 'sheep', because I might want to find all my pictures of sheep, sometime. Flickr had got in ahead of me, and added the tag 'sheep'. Also 'outdoor' 'animal' and 'carnivore'.

Do they know something I don't?

They grow wings and hunt only nights ((this works like the cows in Larson's universe who will stand discussing postmodernism til the farmer comes) , do you zealously (Mollberg typoism pottery; I was meaning to say seriously) mean to say, you didn't know? But I assure you, they avoid puffins due to dietary requirements! This is why the Romans left England, eventually (not that some island named Skye would belong to that Queendom) for they feared nothing but bloodthirsty Skye sheep. Nights, I often heart them flapping by because they got motorised by the Aliens long ago but *sssh* it's a secret secret, that. Otherwise they come jumping one's bed to take revenge, nights and this is why there are so few blondes left, for some reason they need their blood to keep their hairdoes curly; but I have no idea, what the horns are for. Or why they sing sad songs in that weird language of theirs.

They shoot laser beams out of the horns. That's why they curve 'round like that to have the points facing front in the end.

Off course! And their secret weapon (unless one knows) works longdistance, which is why they aimed at this bird; whether by mistaken piety or for the sake of abolishing hunger, we cannot know and the bird itself is feeling too unstable to say, it seems but many are coming over to see it anyway:

Flapped by as a gift from ancient gods, no doubt. It ain't dead, just resting its bones. Pining for the fjords.

What an amazing church, and story!
