". . . Keys yearn to mix with change. Mandolins strive to get out of tune. Every order has within it the germ of destruction. All order is doomed, yet the battle is worth while." --Nathanael West
About Me
- allison
- Chicago
- This is an online corral for the knee-jerk reactions, musings, rants, reviews, logorrhea, missives, revelations, and other passionate silliness from Allison Felus. She's shorter than you think she is; when left to her own devices, she is an unrepentant night owl; she smiles at babies and dogs when she sees them on the street; she loves you just the way you are, except for when you're kind of being a jackass.

When I first read this post I thought "what, did papa smurf take his shotgun to his head in Idaho?"
Yeah, I suppose I could have come up with a much better/more obvious war-torn village reference, but I was reeeally hoping I was going to strike gold with the Papa pun. I hang my head in shame.
to be fair, once I read the article to which you linked, it made perfect sense.
I didn't need to read the article. "A Farewell to Smurfs" was one of Hemingway's finest efforts, second only to "Men Without Muppets".
I've always been partial to "Snorks Like White Elephants" myself....
"They just let the air in, Smurfette."
