It all started with a weekend recap post.

It all started with a post attempting to recap my weekend.

I threw in a seemingly innocent photo of a beautiful sunset and, without putting much thought into it, explained how I was certain a unicorn could have flown by at any given point.
It's a magical ass sunset in my eyes, ok? I assume unicorns live for that kind of shit.

So, I was going on with my day, attempting to be somewhat of a decent employee, when I took a break to do my routine afternoon blog post pimping on my blog's . Mind you, I never really know why I waste my time doing such pimping because, if I'm being completely honest here, my blog's Facebook page doesn't get much action. That is, until yesterday around 1:20pm when a unicorn hating troll made an appearance that managed to give my blog's little Facebook page so much action, it's going to be sore for days. (Too far?) (Nah)



This little comment surfaces and I'm instantly confused (and not just by the realization that people still write things like "*facepalm*" in a serious fashion.), so I do a little clicking and find myself on this thing's personal Facebook page, complete with glitter eyeshadow, horribly edited photos fit for MySpace circa 2004, ten thousand giveaway posts, and one special little post dedicated right to me. How sweet, right?


At this point all productivity, as far as my day job is concerned, was completely out the window because, clearly, I just found my entertainment for the rest of the day. There's really nothing I love more than someone insulting my intelligence (Aside from publicly blasting them on my blog.), especially when they come back with things like this:


So, basically I can't sit with this troll thing and now I'm pretty much inconsolable because, lezbihonest, who the hell wouldn't want to sit with such a charming, clearly intelligent, witty (see you next Tuesday) thing? Also, stop the presses everywhere because, apparently, if you're a blonde female who plays Fantasy Football, you are really setting that bar for "stereo typing" (aka stereotyping... one word, troll.) blondes everywhere. I've got to admit, that one really got me.

The entertainment on said thread only proceeded to get better and better as more people caught on and saw it. Some of the commentary had me in stitches to the point where I was beginning to cause a scene in this office from the loud, Roseanne-like, cackles coming from my desk.



A unicorn. A flying unicorn.
THAT, my friends, is what this entire interwebz drama was about.
A mythical creature.



In conclusion, here's a screen cap from a website I was sent yesterday during these festivities.


I'm off to take flight on my unicorn.
Thanks for giving me something to write about today.
Suck it, troll.


Oh, and if you haven't seen the thread yet and would like a little entertainment on this fine Tuesday, . Have at it.

    YES. Whitney, you knocked it out of the park with this post. I hope troll bitch is full of regret, considering the fact that all of your followers and friends are up-in-arms and ready to attack her at any second. Thank you for helping my day get off to an awesome start.

    Some people take things a little too literally! Girl needed to chill. She had like a million typos, so clearly not the most intelligent way to make a point either.

    I think it's fantastic that she is insulting your intelligence because you "don't know" the difference between 2 magical, mythical creatures. Really tho I think she's probably just jealous of the fact you speak to boys. ANYWAY. In my mind unicorns totally fly. They're magic.. they don't need wings.. duh.

    This still effing kills me. Now I'm laughing about this crap alllll over again.
    I don't understand what her issue is. Unicorns are the national animal for Scotland. Obviously they know some shit that we don't know. Also, who gets so upset about a mythical creature? Don't ever post about dragons, or big foot - shit would get out of hand.

    wow glittery eye shadow troll had a bit too much time on her hands.

    side note: the picture of the clouds that you were hoping a unicorn would fly pass has a creepy side profile of a face. I thought for sure that is what the post was going to be about.

    I still can't with this. I really can't. I'm still confused whether she thought that you actually thought unicorns were real or something. I just don't understand why else you'd get mad. And what also would be really funny is if she didn't know who you are and just stumbled upon that post yesterday without realize you have mobs and mobs of friends and followers that would rip her apart for saying such stupid things. Either way she's probably regretting her life now.

    I may have just spit out my coffee a tad... and obviously she doesn't know anything about how amazing unicorns are - I'd bet she's never even watched Harry Potter or spent a day playing Neopets in her childhood... sad, sad.

    God Whit don't you know the difference between Pegasus and a Unicorn!?!

    Seriously though I'm dying. My office probs thinks I'm crazy but this just made my morning. I feel like all of blog land needs to just post a picture of a flying unicorn on their blogs in solidarity today or something.

    I couldn't help but laugh at this, and then laugh some more. Did she seriously just take all that time out of her day to complain about unicorns flying? She obviously has an exciting life.
    P.S. Unicorns can fly if they want to.

    ok, while I saw all that going on yesterday and joined in. I did NOT know that she went and made her own status about you. what a pig. i can't stand people like that on the internet. if you're not gonna have sense of humor and if you're gonna take everything so seriously, get the fuck off the internet. why did she even care so much? even if you were mental enough to truly believe flying unicorns were roaming among us, why does that make her so angry? it has zero effect on her daily life. people take the internet way too seriously, the butthurtness is ridiculous. entertaining, but ridiculous.

    I wish I could say that if this happened to me I would be above it. But I would be sooo unnerved by it!!! I got my first MEAN comment awhile ago. I wrote a post about having to put my mom's dogs down and boy did I get a mean spirited evil comment. I wish I could have left it up, to show the world that I didn't care what mean people say but I did.. It was hurtful and annoying.
    I'm all about the golden rule people!
