Everyone knows imps are red:
When we party with smurfs it's like a purple explosion.

What's an imp?
From wikipedia.org:
Originating from Germanic folklore, the imp was a small lesser demon. It should also be noted that demons in Germanic legends were not necessarily always evil. Imps were often mischievous rather than evil or harmful, and in some regions they were portrayed as attendants of the gods.
Imps are often shown as small and not very attractive creatures. Their behavior is described as being wild and uncontrollable, much the same as fairies, and in some cultures they are considered the same beings, both sharing the same sense of free spirit and enjoyment of all things fun. It was later in history that people began to associate fairies with being good and imps with being malicious and evil. However, both creatures were fond of pranks and misleading people. Most of the time, the pranks were harmless fun, but some could be upsetting and harmful, such as switching babies or leading travellers astray in places they were not familiar with. Though imps are often thought of as being immortal, many cultures believed that they could be damaged or harmed by certain weapons and enchantments, or be kept out of people's homes by the use of wards.
Imps were often portrayed as lonely little creatures always in search of human attention. They often used jokes and pranks as a means of attracting human friendship, which often backfired when people became tired or annoyed of the imp's endeavors, usually driving it away.
Ah....
I think I prefer Imps over Smurfs

Mom was the original 8th Disney Dwarf- Broody, but that Snow White had a black heart and got her cut outta the film. Pure jealousy. Isn't mom prettier?
Imp- Hi Ho Hi Ho It's off to work I go.

You are a very discerning individual. Unlike some of the others on this thread.

Imps have character!! Smurfs do carry very similar DNA to the tidy bowl man--scientifically proven.
Gritty, dear friend, why would one choose to mess with both Imp and Sourland at the same time knowing the demons that upon occassion possess us? Now that I have entered my 8 th century (Just had to start using that
) my control over the "demons" is lessening. Goodness only knows what a little incantation might stir up. Imp, my friend are you game for this???
