Maybe we could start our own political party...

You know I started a new blog on Images of Disability in Fairy Tales, etc., right?

Well, when I anounced it at Mudcat forum, one of the posters there pointed me to the opening of an Irish tale The Leeching of Kayn's Leg:

(Quote) THERE were five hundred blind men, and five hundred deaf men, and five hundred limping men, and five hundred dumb men, and five hundred cripple men. The five hundred deaf men had five hundred wives, and the five hundred limping men had five hundred wives, and the five hundred dumb men had five hundred wives, arid the five hundred cripple men had five hundred wives. Each five hundred of these had five hundred children and five hundred dogs. They were in the habit of going about in one band, and were called the Sturdy Strolling Beggarly Brotherhood. (unquote)

I think "Sturdy Strolling Beggerly Brotherhood" is an excellent name for a party, don't you?
