Talker99 Special Report: Pegasus
As everyone knows, the Unicorn is a magical and majestic horse that will appear whenever they are most needed.
For years Unicorns have been appearing here and there, helping men and women in dire straights and (usually) leading them on the path that they are destined for.
As the old saying goes, “the only thing a Unicorn can’t help is your Herpes.”
But what about the Pegasus?
They are certainly a sight to behold and a definite animal of breathtaking beauty …..
But are they really all that magical?
The answer, sadly, is no they are not.
We talked to Dick Ying, who teaches a class at Ohio State which covers both the Unicorn and Pegasus and the lore that goes with them…. this is what he told us..
“I’m here to tell you now, the Pegasus is not, and never will be, magical.
Sure, a lot of people cried magic when a Pegasus won the Kentucky Derby(Fly By Night-1996), but it just flew over the other horses, nothing else.
It’s not like it cast a spell, which would have been magic. Pegasus can’t even talk like a Unicorn. They are very limited in mental reasoning which is why they were put on the endangered list this past year.
Think about all the windows pegasus have flown into in just a five year time frame. Everyone knows at least one person who has been killed or injured by a pegasus stupidly crashing through a window.
Remember Dubai? All those people killed after that palomino pegasus flew through the top floor hotel restaurant and ignited a gas line…. Horrible. ”

So the giant pegasus tattoo on my back is all for nothing then
Yes…. Yes it is.
Who am i to talk though, i have a tattoo on my arm that is an ex girlfriends name. My logic at the time was she was the one and vodka was awesome and loratabs made pain go far far away,. In retrospect it wasnt my finest moment…..
Poor thing
Light-heartedness humor? I don’t get it.
I have no clue as to what i was really going for when i wrote this so you are not alone, i dont really get it either…… But i will say thank you for freakin commenting! It was beginning to look like a ghost town on this site so thank you.
Your sites great by the way…..
Lol. Thanks
I wasn’t trying to be discouraging. Honestly I wish we did have this level of mirth on this planet and that magical creatures did abound. But we are such selfish fucks on this planet. Magical creatures belong where they are cherished and left to be; revered and allowed to flourish. Instead we would kill, quarantine or sequester them. Own them. We are a sorry lot. We don’t deserve magical creatures.
Sorry. That turned fast. Didn’t it.
I wish we lived in this kind of world and it makes me so sad we don’t. But thanks all the same for suspending belief for a brief moment in time. That is a lovely thing.
