R'unorian Brandy

Ohh thaaat R'unorian Brandy,
I tell ya it'll kill ye!
From the Isles of wretched R'unor

Made o' most poisonous berries
It be tasted by the highest of masters..
Only masters cause they 'aven't diiiii-ed

Ohh that R'unorian Brandy
It'll kill ya I tell ye!
From the Isles of that enchanting R'uno-or

If it dunt kill the masters
It still not be safe!
As the alcho-holic content
S'enough to burn holes through your lii-ver!

Ohh thaat R'unorian Brandy
It's a bad one I tell ye
From the Isles of blackest R'uno-or

As much as I hate it
I can't help but love it
As it burns all me troubles awa-ay

Ohh that R'unorian Brandy
It's delightedly handy
From the Isles of dear sweet R'uno-or

This addicting sweet liquor
Makes me enevit'bly thicker
'N' so I keep askin' for mo-ore

Ohh Thaaat Ruin-n-Desolation
It fills me with elation!
From the Isles of Oddest R'unor!

I've put it in dialect as it works best that way. It may still have some kinks I need to go over it a few more times. But I was just wondering what you all thought of it and I wanted to get it in here. I'm going to sing it in the herald soon, but as I've worked on this one, I think it's of library quality.

Every culture needs a few good drinking songs... I like it!

:lol
The first thing that popped into my head was "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." After thumbing through my somewhat worn copy of the ‘Guide’ for several minutes (time estimate excludes diversions concerning the reading of Anaea’s favorite passages), I came to the ultimate conclusion that there wasn't any possible way I couldn't remember what it reminded me of in the first place! :Anaea sits back in her chair and grumbles: :The ‘Guide’ is promptly thrown to the floor:

So here I am, telling you that I found it humorous and vastly amusing. Not to mention it gave me a chance to reminisce with Ford Prefect and Arthur. (Always a good thing) They teach one all-important life lesson. Never take life too seriously.

That’s it. I’m done here. ;)

I've been thinking up quite a few good ideas for ballads.. so you should be hearing more from Laivin soon.

A trav-el-ler make-ing his way down the road
A trav-el-ler sing-ing his sweet mel-o-dy

A trav-el-ler lone-ly with thoughts of his home
A trav-el-ler coursing his way through the street
A trav-el-ler wishing a friend he could meet
A trav-el-ler looking for lands he can roam
A trav-el-ler wishing for home, dear sweet home.

The mel-o-dy echoing it's lonely tune
The echoes bring tears to the trav-el-lers eyes
The teardrops do fall from his face to the ground
The ground dries up quickly absorbing the tears
Forgotten the memories of all of his years.

A trav-el-ler lone-ly with thoughts of his home
A trav-el-ler coursing his way through the street
A trav-el-ler wishing a friend he could meet
A trav-el-ler looking for lands he can roam
A trav-el-ler wishing for home, dear sweet home.


A mouse scampers by on the empty dark street
The trav-el-ler looks to the stars for a sign
The stars see nothing and shine on their way
The trav-el-ler looks down with nothing for hope
A prayer he whispers to Ava above
The unanswered prayer the end to his dreams
They drift away on the night air in streams
The trav-el-ler sighs and continues on
Lands to be roaming he goes on his way.

A trav-el-ler make-ing his way down the road
A trav-el-ler singing his lament to the world

I assume they are all original Laivin (no rewrites from existing songs) - if so: Would you mind if we put them up on the site?

They're all mine completely, in every way, shape or form! And I'd be honored to have them up on the site. I'm working on some others at the moment that I'll post soon too. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner than today, I thought I'd checked here the other day too!

Oh well.. must have missed it! Go ahead and use them though, that's what they're here for!

Files have been replaced again, but the question remains how long this will last. SMF support will have a look at the security problem.

It has been hacked. The third time in 3 days. I need to replace the changed files again (won't happen before evening) - and then see what the SMF support recommends as a strategy.

Arti, could you maybe take a look at the RPG board? I got a message from my anti-virus program and now I can't access the column on the right with the list of current threads and the shoutbox. Thankies :)

Artimidooor.. could you please add the Northern Sarvonian Tribe's map to the map menu? As you know, my mouse over does not work :( I could't find it right now, though I know it does exist somewhere.
