A favorite topic with me was the popular belief in
omens -- a belief which, at this one epoch of my life, I was almost seriously disposed to defend.
I can read these
omens myself much better than you can; birds are always flying about in the sunshine somewhere or other, but they seldom mean anything.

One very interesting and rational opinion (given by Pangan Runtop of Bukit Udal) was that when you eat the bird, you are not eating the
omen, so of course you may eat it!
"My mum thinks she is our lucky
omen!" Daniel said.
Maybe that local headline was the work of a jaded typesetter about to be laid off, but certainly the
omen of this heckuva year has been the dropping of the W.
Omen was speechless; his choices here are remarkably even-handed, an everyday camouflage concealing wondrous absurdities that summoned his familiars, including: a fascinating theme of puppetry in which the propetier examined a fair sight far more imaginable than most material eloquently dropped by the ever-so-popular temperariousness of the awkwardly committed.
