[MR] “I’m the Cook for Dun Carraig’s Baronial Birthday, and I approved this message.”

[Peter Schorn]

   WHEN LAST WE LEFT OUR HEROES THEY WERE PONDERING AN INVITATION TO THE
   MEAD-HALL CALLED HEOROT (STRANGELY RELOCATED TO THE BARONY OF DUN
   CARRAIG) TO RID IT OF AN UNSEELIE AND UNSEEMLY PEST!
   âGreat news, Hrøki! My uncle Hrothgar just bought us an all-expense
   paid trip to come visit him and his family--look!â
   âGee I dunno, Bëowynkle--it says here they want you to fight a monster
   called Grendelâ¦â
   âIâll tear his arm off!â



   ââ¦and also Grendelâs momâ¦â
   âIâll chop her head off!â
   ââ¦and later on a dragon.â
   âIâll--think of something.â
   âAlso they only sent you a one-way ticket.â
   âWell, maybe Uncle Hrothy wants me to stay on through the Yule rush.
   By the way, they say anything about food,?
   âUh-huh. It says thereâs gonna be a three-remove feast: one course for
   each of the monsters youâre gonna fight.â
   âA three-course dinner?  That means weâve got a first-class ticket!â



   âFirst class?â
   âYeah: I hear Grendel only gets a couple Danish.  So when and where do
   we show up?â



   âIt says here âNovember 10^th, 2012. St. Paulâs Episcopal Church, 13500
   Baden Westwood Rd, Brandywine, MD 20613. Site will open at 9am and
   close at 10pm.â
   âAnd what will folks be putting in the tip jar for Uncly Hrothy?â


   âHokey smokes, this is complicated! It says--

   âSo I guess weâre going!â
   âYou betcha!  Hasten O sea-steed over the swan-road!---Hm, makes ya
   wonder why the swan crossed the road in the first placeâ¦â

   âWHY DO 99% OF THE DANES GET EATEN BY 1% OF THE MONSTERS?â
