Wassail

Wassail:
The act of drinking a toast to the Cider God in the orchard, accompanied by letting off shotguns and consuming much liquor. Wassail cups and bowls are much prized. Some villages like Drayton and Carhampton still have intact wassail songs. Most celebrate this on Twelfth Night, 6th Jan but others still choose the old New Year, 17th January.


Damn, I've been doing it wrong all these years. I need some shotguns.

(no subject)

1. Do you follow current events? Why/Why not?

Yes, because I'm curious and I like to know what's going on around me.

2. Where do you get most of your news from?

Salon.com - by far my favorite news site, is definitely my primary source - that and my network of friends. Occasionally supplemented by Guardian, Washington Post, Wonkette, Techdirt, AP feeds (for science news) and Utne magazine.

3. Do you believe that the media is biased? Why or why not?

Of course it is, everything has a bias.

4. Will you be voting this year?

Yes, will probably be an election judge as well.

5. Describe one political issue that really pushes your button.

Trashing the environment for short-term economic gains. I think if we make our planet unlivable for future generations, most other political issues really don't matter all that much. Ok, the gay marriage bullshit bugs me too.

I think I was just about 20 years too late, would've made such a good flower child.

Last meal: Pizza
Last song: Happy Phantom by Tori
