Welcome to the MythTickle plane of 'reality', where eclectically charming deities and legendary creatures try to get along and hopefully bring some comfort to the world, whatever you may believe in. There's good ol' Boody the dragon, the ultimate upbeat innocent and Sir Dudley, the cynical Scots knight who disdains him for being his best friend. There's Dziva, African creatrix and goddess of life; Anansi, the trickster spider god; Thor, the surly son of Asgard; and of course Karma quick to rage, quick to joy, and obsessed with balance. Displaced in time and place, they and many others learn from Ms. Nature, patient teacher of this unruly horde. Loki, take your seat. Shiva, go stand outside. Anubis, don't throw the erasers, and everyone mind the holy bees! You never know who you'll meet in Mythtickle.

Not to nitpick, Justin, but the line from the carol is “DO you hear what I hear,” not “CAN you hear what I hear?”

But how, how I ask, can the Silent Knight slay belzring? I mean, he’s silent! Bonk!

Mute…deaf…and it seems his vision isn’t all that great, either.

Not much for rhythm, but the buildup of puns helps.

It is “can you hear what I hear.” They’re all walking around in cans.

As much as I love, love, love this story, it would be really nice to see a new Christmas story here sometime.

Perhaps they’re all walking around in cans; but if you’re going to parody the lyrics from Christmas songs, do it right: It’s “do you hear what I hear?”

But you are nitpicking. Don’t. He altered it to fit his story. Roll with it.

Just started reading “The Hobbit” which also concerns slaying of a dragon.

I totally agree with you about the nitpicking. It gets old. I just wish people could see past correctness and enjoy the story, one that obviously took quite abit of time and thought. Merry Christmas to all ;-)

This is one of my favorites also. I’m printing it out for our mom, Justin is my brother, as I don’t think she has ever seen it. It has become a tradition for my wife and I as well. Definately some of his best work. Merry Christmas to you ame_baby;-)
