Subject: LIRIPIPE RESULTS 7/10/2016<br>

<div>Liripipe Results 7/10/16</div>
<div>Backwards results—<strong>Ranjit’s </strong>Songbird def
got no points but a Belly Laugh from Fran. I would point out
that a number of birds sing their name, like the Phoebe and
Whip-Poor-Will, and many say an English phrase, like Drink
Your Tea from the Towhee. </div>
<div><strong>David R</strong> surprised me by not knowing what a
liripipe actually was, as it’s Medieval, but he did make a
winning guess for 1 point. His breakfast of flax and oats did
not gather in any hungry votes.</div>
<div><strong>Nicolas</strong>’s single unbroken weave garnered 4
points from Eric [2], with the suggestion that I knew
something about textiles, which is true—I used to weave a lot
and I own a number of large and small looms. Nicolas also got
one point each from JJ and Pierre, for a total of 4 points!</div>
<div><strong>Pierre</strong>’s alchemy distillation received one
point from Ranjit, plus he gets two points for correct guess
for a total of 3 points.</div>
<div><strong>JJ’</strong>s fungus on coconuts got a Yuck from
David R, plus one point from Eric, and he correctly guessed
the point on the cap/e, for a total of 3 points.</div>
<div>Lastly, there was <strong>a tie</strong> between the real
def and<strong> Eric’s </strong>Imitation Parchment/Gruel [a
Yuck from me, who also makes paper, usually from scrap paper,
on occasion] that won a grand total of 6 points each. And a
non-vote from Pierre because of the Society for the Prevention
of Gruelty to Kids and Lambs. I would point out that if you
eat lamb, and many folks do, having raised them for that
purpose, there are pieces left over after you harvest the meat
and fur. It is a shame to waste all that, when you can use it
to make useful parchment. I am also referencing The Knackers
motto for that opinion: Eat the Meat and Recycle the Offal. I
might also mention that often there are kids, usually males,
who do not produce offspring or proper wool, or are in some
way inferior, that must be sacrificed for the good of the
flock and shepherds. It’s a gruel, gruel world out there.
[Yikes! This sounds really nasty!] I tend to have a lot of
very elderly farm animals as pets because I don’t have the
heart to eat them. </div>
<div> As for Liripipe itself, I rediscovered this
def when my daughter–in-law was creating a large number of
Medieval outfits for her family for the SCA Pennsic Wars to be
held as usual this summer for several weeks outside of
Pittsburgh. You can check any number of websites for liripipe
examples, but I used several books we have collected on
Medieval garb. Evidently, the liripipe started as merely a
decoration at the peak of capes and caps in the 14<sup>th</sup>
Century, but grew longer into the 15<sup>th</sup>, and I
believe this fashion trend spread throughout Europe [people
traveled a lot] as people realized what a handy little
invention it was—you could use it as a spare pocket, and some
even sheathed their knives therein.</div>
<div> So, all that said, yucky, nasty, and
otherwise, will the <strong>Winner---Eric</strong>—please
come up with the next fictionition! </div>
<div>Thanks for all your participation! Linda. PS When my
husband David heard the word liripipe, he thought it might be
a switch on the exhaust system of late-model Audis, that can
change the sound of the exhaust from soft to Loud to <strong>Really
Loud</strong>. There is such a switch, but he doesn’t
recall the real name. PPS Sorry for delay in responding, but
we had my husband’s 50<sup>th</sup> college Reunion, our
grandson’s HS graduation, and a meeting with David’s sister
and family who came out from CA. These entailed 3 trips to
NH/VT [we live in RI], plus we and the Scouts helped with a
church fundraiser—it’s where the Scouts meet—and I gave a
weaving demo, and two of David’s Scouts became Eagles!
