At some point in 2002, an odd phenomenon began on Mudcat. This was a chain of threads surrounding a mythical Irish song called "The Campsite at Drumcree". Some of the participants were known, but other anonymous postings came from everybody from Phil Lynnott to Michael Flatley to Liam Clancy to Reverend Paisley. Much of it was obscurely Irish, but most of it was absolutely hilarious satire. One doesn't so much read the Drumcree threads as become absorbed into their surreal world and emerge somehow...different. Then in 2003, they suddenly ceased, and I don't believe the mysterious mind that was behind Drumcree was ever revealed. I know that I, nor Amos, Peter T, Kat, Jen, Spaw nor any of the usual suspects were involved.

My suggestion is to pour a pint o Guinness and settle down with the madness that was
The Campsite at Drumcree
and remember "For the cause of dear oul' Ulster, we wipe with a clipe of grass"
