D'oh!  That's right, cockroach clusters were in the Sweet Shop sketch.  HA!So,
did you mean that Dumbledore is a fan of cockroach clusters, or of Monty Python?

Worth considering.  Mmmm, "mundane" comes from the Latin "mundo," meaning
"world," so all it means is "of the world."  Not really all that offensive in
itself, but it's a borrow-word from Science Fiction Fandom circa 1950, and they
definitely used it in a non-affectionate way.  Besides, not every SCAdian might
want to be identified as a non-Muggle. Surely you've known a few Dursley types in
the SCA, stuffy fogies of any age, I can think of a few already.

Didja know that 'muggles' is an obselete slang term for marijuana?
