hehe - I heard once, years ago "Ansteorran ladies: Before you disrobe them,
you have to disarm them"

That verse was originally written by Sir Balthazar of Endor, back
around the time we were trying to decide how to spell Ansteorra.

"The bards of Ansteorra strive for authenticity,
By singing Irish drinking songs of the 19th century.
They're cunning and they're clever, but they've gone a bit too far,
When "The Rising of the Moon became "The Rising of the Star."
