[MR] Midrealm cheer (was "Vivat")

[Max Nelson]

Don't know what the broader Midrealm was doing or what official  
Protocol at the Midrealm Court was (me being the fifth son of a poor  
East Kingdom Duke of Jersey City, and all), but when I moved to the  
College of Grey Gargoyles I listened and asked and they was saying  
Huzzah (rightly or wrongly... University of Chicago tends to go it's  
own way, regardless of convention, after all).  As to my speech  
impediment, I believe I've done pretty well conquering that with all  
my therapy and hard work and all back as a youth, thanks for asking.
