A GREAT Fey afternoon - srf1957 - 07-14-2014
Left home this morning about 8:Am. Saw 1 baby sparrow hopping around yard while loading country style pork ribs and assorted other items to grill at parent's house. Asked mom if she wanted a sparrow for pet. went to leave about 5:30 P.M. saw baby sparrow behind seat in extended cab P.U. Took scenic route home and took pictures of calf elk and mothers. Saw baby rattlesnake on road. Got home 1 neighbors fluff dog that main idea of fun is setting 2 feet away from me and barking
showed up. Other neighbor has bottle fed calves he was trying to ride last years.
He could stay on for about 20 ft before falling off. Neighbors dog thought he was more interesting to bark at and afterwards decided I was not the enemy and should pet him.

I thought you had a Lost Girl marathon today.

Lots of babies and fates. It all signs like a sign. Snake, bird, elk and calves, then Racer X said girl. What does this mean?

Assuming that the use of the word "Fey" was intentional, and that one or both of the main obsolete definitions are being alluded to, I must say that I'm impressed.

Left home this morning about 8:Am.
Saw 1 baby sparrow hopping around yard,
while loading country style pork ribs,
and assorted other items,
to grill at parent's house.
Asked mom if she wanted a sparrow for pet.
Went to leave about 5:30 P.M.
Saw baby sparrow behind seat,
in extended cab P.U.
Took scenic route home,
and took pictures of calf elk and mothers.
Saw baby rattlesnake on road.
Got home. 1 neighbors fluff dog,
that main idea of fun,
is setting 2 feet away from me.
And Barking showed up.
Other neighbor has bottle.
Fed calves. He was trying to ride last years.
He could stay on for about 20 ft,
before falling off.
Neighbors dog thought,
he was more interesting to bark at,
and afterwards decided I was not the enemy and should pet him.

Of course, I could be wrong about the traces of the otherwordly, and possible incipient Doom, and that this is some kind of tribute to Tina Fey.
I hope that I'm not wrong.

I'm voting for definition 2c.
fey

b : marked by a foreboding of death or calamity
2 a : able to see into the future : visionary
b : marked by an otherworldly air or attitude
c : crazy, touched
3 a : excessively refined : precious
b : quaintly unconventional : campy

But you see, "fey" has two distinct origins and meanings; one Germanic, and one Latin. Both meanings are entirely different. (The Scots got involved late in the game.)
That the two meanings are so entirely woven together these days is the work of that rascal Mallory, and his "Le Morte d'Arthur", when he chose "Morgan Le Fey" as his favorite villainess. Note the masculine article. This was no accident or mistranslation.
Otherwise, 2c works for me.

I was going to suggest that as one of the author's undocumented activities that same day, but decided definition 2c could perhaps cover that more politely.

Eustace, sometimes I don't know WTF you are talking about, although I realize that probably says more about me than you. :dunno:
