: : : We all know the Gathering prompted some great visual moments, but did you know it also spawned its own famous quotations? Just a few I jotted down...

: : : First of all, of course, there was the phrase coined by me, The Red-Haired Lass, which preceded my arrival in Chimney Rock and was recited to me by folks I hadn’t even met yet: “I’ll give you mooooooooo-nnnnneeeeyyyy...” Good for wheedling favors out of folks, but not good enough to get the recipe for Ping. 

: : : “They’re probably blowin’ the shut-up horn!”  Miss MMMMarcia, on Sunday night, when we heard a car horn blaring in the parking lot shortly after we all had shut down the tiki bar out back

: : : “What in the name of the Wee Manny?” A Scots turn of phrase, uttered in surprise by Miss Katie

: : : “Do al ittle drugs, drink a little liquor and one morning you wake up dead...” Miss MMMarcia, commenting on what happens if you lead a sordid life on the frontier 

: : : “Wake up naked and ready to kill.” Quoted by me, the Red-Haired Lass. Actually, this was my mistaken interpretation of a phrase I heard uttered out at the tiki bar. It was later agree d by the crowd gathered there that this should be the official motto for Bumppo’s Tavern.

: : Hi, Christina!  It's good that you were there taking notes.  Some of these jewels must be preserved, sartain.  On thinking back to the first time I heard that one line, though, I remember it actually goes more like, "Drink a little liquor, do a little drugs, and one of these mornings ya wake up DEAD!"  It was something a friend used to say to me about some carousers he predicted would not last long.  Same friend also used to say, "Well...Time don't mean nuthin' to a hawg!"  every time he was late for anything.  And he wrote a very long song in honor of the death of Jim Morrison (who died in a hot bath of a "heart attack"...right.)  It went something like,
: : "Riders on the storm,
: : You've made this bath too warm,
: : It's too hot in here,
: : Turn it down, My Dear..."  

: : You know...thinking back on it...Mohican Maniacs are pretty normal compared to SOME of the folks I've known!!!

: : MMMM

: Okay, Marcia, you nearly made me double-inhale a half cup of coffee with that rhyme. Oh that's BRILLIANT...so you have friends who are as sick as me  huh? Glad to know I'm not alone in crafting sick song parodies...
: brilliant, brilliant. ROTFLMAO.
