Argh! Libations were downed with fierce intensity. Hair was let down (for those who have hair). Boasts were made and challenged. Old timers spoke with an air of all-knowing certitude. The goofiest of questions were scoffed at with mocking abandon. UO was the spoken of in the hushed tones one reserves for hallowed ground.
And when the day was done, both man and beasts retired to their private quarters to rest and draw strength for the trying days to come.
