Thread Name: Lachrymose balladeering
Subject: RE: Lachrymose balladeering
Has no one seen the famous Classical Greek statue of the dying Celtic warrior?
Conclusive proof that having walked all the way from Keltia to Greece, purely in order to invent the Bouzouki for them, the poor man had only the energy to sing a final lachrymose ballad and die. The statue shows him reaching vainly for a final slice of chocolate covered ham, which could have saved his life.
(Keltia was just south of Hyperborea so it was along walk)
Cheers
