Though in the 1930s Paramin Blue Devils are reported to have used instruments carved from bamboo, known as tamboo bamboo, for their percussive accompaniment, they now ordinarily move to rhythms established by beating biscuit tins, which have sometimes been given a higher pitch by tempering them with fire. According to Ashton Fournillier, a Paramin King Devil, you identify the Blue Devil by the colored paint, generally blue; the pitchfork; and the blood and guts on the tongue. There is a dance that involves hooking the foot to walk together with movements of the head and shoulders simultaneously while thrusting the pitchfork forward and screaming to the beat of the biscuit tin. Blue devils also sometimes carry painted replicas of cutlasses (machetes). Whereas once they dressed only in cutoff shorts without masks, they now often sport wings, sometimes decorated with swastikas, wear other kinds of clothes, increasingly use animal masks, and until they were recently outlawed at times carried snakes. They sometimes uproot small trees, have been seen to eat small raw sharks snatched from fish vendors, or dismember live chickens. Like some other aggressive traditional characters, they scamper up hills, climb poles and occasionally buildings. In addition to the popular blue, they sometimes paint themselves red, green, black, or white. The staccato beat of their biscuit tins, their glistening body colors, combined with their traditional dance step and skillful maneuvers identify them at once. You distinctly hear them comin' down de road. One of their most popular antics is to blow large gusts of fire, either on the ground or in the air, by spitting kerosene into the flames of their flambeaux (torches made out of bottles of kerosene).
Among the devils there is a King Devil, who leads the sometimes aggressively threatening demands for "titi"; (Trinidad dollars). The King Devil is usually on a leash controlled by another jab, sometimes called an imp, who restrains the King, whether as an emblem of enslavement or a figure of authoritative restraint in the festive context. Though the role of King Devil is an honorific that is usually held for some time by one band member, and then sometimes passed to his son, other devils can exchange roles. The usual move is from percussion to performance, so that a person that this year provides the all-important percussive rhythm, next year might become a bulging eyed, drooling monster who moves and writhes with dexterity as he pleads for and plays with the dollars thrown or dangled in front of him. Despite the fact that for the most part they keep within their own boundaries, the ferocity of their demeanor and their elemental, transgressive threats are often frightening.

John Krakauer wrote about this mountain in his book EIGER DREAMS I think, and always inspired me to get closer to it!
Buddy!
He's 10 years old. A perpetual teenage, loads of energy but no brains.
But he know's he's a handsome devil.

I love my devil bunny.
Several years ago I spotted him at the market on Portobello Road - it was love at first sight. But everyone else thought he was nasty & horrible and the big meanies finally persuaded me not to get him. I didn't forget, however, and reminded the others on a regular basis just how rotten they were to have denied me my devil bunny.
Exactly one year later, we were back at Portobello Road: same crowd, same hangovers etc etc. And there he was! My devil bunny had waited for me! It was obviously meant to be - so I scooped him up & brought him home & he's been giving Scott the eye ever since.
I love my devil bunny.

Devils Tower was the first declared United States National Monument, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. The name Devil's Tower originated in 1875 during an expedition led by Col. Richard Irving Dodge when his interpreter misinterpreted the name to mean Bad God's Tower. This was later shortened to the Devil's Tower. It rises dramatically 1,267 feet (386 m) above the surrounding terrain and the summit is 5,112 feet (1,558 m) above sea level.
From this years road trip (2011).
