My Dragon’s Harder Than the Economist’s Dragon
Posted: February 6th, 2012 | 2 Comments »OK – so it’s a dragon throw down – the Economist magazine (home to barmy right wing nuts for hundreds of years) has decided to launch a China blog apparently. And they’ve seemingly chosen a dragon as their logo – more scarily I think they’re going to call it ‘Enter the Dragon’!!
But I don’t care – my Midnight in Peking dragon was first, is cooler, espouses liberal values, supports the NHS and the Welfare State, hates David Cameron and could beat the living shit out of any Economist dragon should one ever venture onto my dragon’s manor!! The only other dragon I’m willing to accept is His Majesty’s superb fighting Chinese Dragon Temeraire from the great fun novels of battling dragons by Naomi Novik – in fact I think I might contact her to see if a) we can get our dragons together to go over and beat up the Economist‘s mutt and b) mate our dragons to create a truly super fighting dragon (I’m not quite sure how to do this though as dragon mating is new to me and neither my dragon nor Temeraire appear to have willys!! Of course, it goes without saying that the Economist right wing dragon has no balls!)
The Economist’s dragon – kind of skinny and weedy looking – it’s face displays a touch of dragon constipation I feel
Temeraire – His Majesty’s Fighting Dragon and a serious piece of dragon you wouldn’t mess with
And behold – the mighty Midnight in Peking dragon – mess with this boy at your peril!
LOL, I’d like to see the dragon throw down. Yours is pretty bad ass, as the Americans would say.
Most random post I’ve seen on your blog, but it totally made my day!
I saw your dragon’s cousins today. They’re five-clawed and carved in stone. And–as much as I like your dragon–they look a tiny bit more fierce.
