king ubu Posted April 18, 2016 Report Posted April 18, 2016 I'm a bit embarassed .... not here regularly enough to catch most birthdays But thanks a lot, much appreciated! Day off since it's the day where poor sobs celebrate those guys that have mastered tax "optimization" and all that sh*t (actually some sort of welcoming of spring ... the guildsmen (no women of course! where would that lead us, shudder!) - nowadays something in between rotary club and informal business networks - parade through town on horses and their wifes throw flowers at them, while thousands of folks lacking in the brainz department go and watch and cheer ... in the end they'll ride around a "snowman" filled with explosives that is burned on a huge pile of wood (sometimes, a horse goes dead, alas rarley a guildsman, it seems), and the number of minutes until the head blows off is said to relate to how good the summer will be ... (statistically, it's totally irrelevant how long it takes, of course). After that, the rich ones go for expensive dinner and stuff, whilst the plebs grills sausages on the remains of the pile of wood ... does that sound crazy? Hell, it is! At least my order for rain was coming in on time For those interested, here's the wiki entry on this thing ... ought to be challenged, in its make-believe neutral tone, it's not : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sechsel%C3%A4uten Quote
