    I wanted to post something whimsical, but couldn't think of anything.

    Can anyone?

    Whimsydale exists, I was there yesterday.
    Whimsyshire too, but that's more difficult.

    Good luck with that, EVERYTHING I post seems to be used to launch an attack on Trump. If I say the sky's blue someone completely out of context throws a jab at Trump! "Mary had a little lamb, it's fleece was white as snow"..."SEE, TRUMPS A RACIST!". It's frustrating and it's INSANE. Sorry, but that's about as whimsical as I feel today.

    I always attribute whimsy to flights of fancy. Or flights to the fantastical. Then I think about a get away to Fiji.... on a whim.

    I'm doubly sorry as I'm one of the major culprits there.

    But I promise not to mention....

    If you say so, but I'm inclined to think not, otherwise you'd have took the opportunity to roast me like a cheap hot dog. Was just venting this morning, I'm better now 'cuz it is what it is.

    To just run off and visit Whimsushire would probably be a very whimsical thing to do. :)

    'Whimsy' won the 2015 Kentucky Derby but had to be euthanized after suffering an ankle injury in the following race.

    And what else could it be? as Seinfeld once asked.

    What if one day it is what it isn't? What will happen then?

    Paranoia Inversa

    A sufferer from conventional paranoia believes the world is out to get them. A sufferer from paranoia inversa has an equally irrational and compulsive belief that they are out to get the world (before it gets them).

    Lots of whimsy to be found on Discworld.
