[Nordskogen] Greetings from An Tir!

[Dale and Kate Collins]

WOAW = Whimsical Order of the Ailing Wit
TWIT = Temporary WOAW In Training

Order is presided over by the Grand Puntiff.  Badge of Office is a Rubber Chicken.  Persons are admitted to the Order by being struck by such by the current or past Grand Puntiffs.  After such an indoctrination, you have until your next event to fashion a favor of some kind with WOAW or TWIT on it.  

The people smacked are those who pun excessively, or tell such jokes as to warrant warning the populace that you are approaching.  Sometimes, people can fly under the chicken radar for years (I was playing in An Tir for over 12 years, off and on, before becoming a TWIT), or sometimes a single instance can cause admittance.  I have a friend who made a blouse of a printed fabric that had quail or pheasants on it.  When someone commented on the fabric, she said it was her pheasant blouse....a former Puntiff was in earshot and said that was worthy just on the idea alone.....

And yes, Little Bear's still running amok!  I shall do my best to convey your respects at Ursulmas.  He typically either does the teddy bear collection bin (for local law enforcement use) or runs/judges the "mini me" bear contest.  This is fun....you take a teddy bear and make garb for it that matches some of your own.  The bear is submitted with a picture of yourself in your garb.  Some of the similarities are absolutely perfect!
