Whatever happened to the poor, poor, unicorn?

On The Downhill Side

Eh, as long as it’s not just hanging around a ghost-town bar playing chess, or something.

They’ve all been doomed to bad paintings on velvet. It’s progress, dammit.

But explains why: “Guys aren’t typically willing to touch a unicorn with a ten-foot-pole.” They’re afraid of catching the “ghey”. :smiley:

The lion is politely ignoring the fact that the unicorn is giving that “maiden” some hoof action.

… also, that lion seems to be a bit on the Cowardly Lion / Snagglepus side of lionness, too.

There was a hot guy named Griffin at my university, and he had a griffin tattooed on his shoulder.

Believe me, Griffins had plenty of (female) fans.

If the Unicorn had stayed true to its origins, i.e. it’s really a mutant goat, then I think it would have had a less girly reputation.

Unicorns are thought of poorly? How so? You just said so yourself, little girls love them!

(Also, Googling ‘unicorn’ has got to be one step removed from doing LSD.)

They’re not so girly. Try The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle. Read the first few pages there on Amazon, and you’ll see. The movie was sort of OK. Read the book.

(There’s one deus ex in the middle that made me roll my eyes, but that’s just a page or so. Read the book.)

Once I had to fight a pissed off Unicorn in D&D…
Yeah, not so girly. Just ask the gaping wounds in my body and the stupid self healing abilities.

We need to bring back Jack Chalker’s carnivorous unicorns from the Dancing Gods books.

Yeah, because they gore anyone else to death. So not girly.

Do the stopwatches also have to be virgins?

Unicorns… not just for virgins anymore. Ninjas can ride, too.

Don’t let spilling errors distract you.

A gay boy wished for a planet full of unicorns - planet unicorn HEY!

Within the boundries of odd-timing, last night I watched the film 1612. It’s a bloody semi-fantastic historical war story about the battles between Poland and Russia at that time, with the Russians being the ‘good guys’. Their spiritual symbol is the Unicorn, and it’s definately -not- girly.

There are books… not aimed towards teenagers though. No, they are definitely adult. A friend of mine found them and told me about them, so maybe someone will start writing teenage ones. You never know…

Well…you do know that T. Rex was a vegetarian that ate only coconuts until Adam and Eve caused them to go carnivorus after The Fall, so the innocent unicorns got munched out of existance 'cause of a talking snake 6000 years ago.

What?

Gotta be a true story, there’s a museum all about this, and a museum wouldn’t lie, would they??
