21 Dec 04 - 09:07 AM (#1362407) Subject: Folklore: Suitable Torture for Non-wassailers From: *#1 PEASANT* It has come to my attention that those refusing to wassail are growing in number! They oppose drink, oppose riotous exuberant behavior, oppose eating, oppose loud noises, oppose anything vaguely traditional, dont like going out in the cold even with antifreze, dont like apples, won't even drink non alcoholic wassail. I think if they are allowed to win.....the terrorists win! What then dear people would be the suitable punishment for a scoff wassailer, non wassailer, anti wassailer....you know what I mean....

May they never have hats full, caps full, half bushel bags full. God rot every non-wassailer, wot aint got no apple tree! |

Wow! That's probably lost me a lot of friends. (I didn't really mean it, folks, except the bit about the Miller Light.) |

By "my first serious wassail" I guess I meant that I had been to a few stationary wassails before, but this (next?) year I'll be going house to house. I hope the Highway Patrol will cast a mild eye on this drinking-and-driving exercise on New Year's Day. Cheers, Michael |
