For once I’m pretty sure I’ve got the right category. There is no particular point to this story other than ‘sometimes people are nice in interesting ways’; I just feel like I’ve got to share it. > **[A girl asked if she could keep a unicorn in her yard.

Oh, jeeze, that’s so sweet! What a nice gesture from the Animal Control officer. ---

That’s very cute, but I can’t imagine all the letters they’re being inundated with right now (or are on their way). Everyone else is probably just going to get a form letter. ---

That’s not a unicorn license. It’s a dragon license with the word “dragon” crossed out and “unicorn” written in in crayon. ---

They have Unicorn Puddling. It is the same bright, zesty colors are Unicorn Snot.

I thought this thread was going to be about the Unicorn Hunting Licenses that Lake Superior College has been issuing for over fifty years.

First I heard of it. – I have, however, a quibble. At least one female unicorn has indeed been sighted; in Peter S Beagle land. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen more, but am having trouble remembering where. Pamela Dean, maybe? I can’t remember whether the ones there are gendered. > [@Bosda\_Di\_Chi\_of\_Tricor](#): > > They have Unicorn Puddling. > It is the same bright, zesty colors are Unicorn Snot. I do _not_ want to be around when a unicorn finds out about _that_. (I would, however, love to be watching from a very safe distance.) ---

Shawn Ogg shoed a unicorn once, after Granny caught it with a hair. ---

Nitpick: _Jason_ Ogg. Shawn Ogg probably finds shoeing _himself_ a challenge. He can sleep with his eyes open and fart any tune you’d care to name, though, so he’s not without talents. ---

I sit corrected. I still flash back to the MASH episode where they were searching for an incubator. _ **Henry Blake:** No kidding! That would be great on movie nights! You got any of those pizza requisition forms?_ _ **Captain Sloan:** Just use one of the standard S-1798s and write in “pizza” where it says “machine gun.”_
