Fooles: Rauthulfr's Response to The GRAND PUNTIFF's Lack of Logic

Last Updated: 30 Jun 2002 1502

Rauthulfr hears the fools doing their Fooleish Stuff, and wanders over to watch. Alas, he is apalled that they lack such basic rudaments of historical knowledge. Of course on the Steps the closest thing we have to an historical rudament is Elvis. Or is that historical Ruminate? Oh, well.

Come here good Fooles and let you all be enlightened. Silly person, an anno-uncemint is an early calendar in which all of the days are indicated by pieces of mint chocolate Uncial numerals. It used to be an important tradition in medieval times, and for medieval time keeping. Although it has lately been reduced to use only during Advent.

This was manufactured during the middle ages, by a slightly balding heavy set male. Although he began making them earlier and only continued to make them in his middle-ages - but I digress. Medievally these confectious calendars were very popular. Indeed, they became the rage at such courts as that of Henry VIII who was so taken with the idea that he ordered all of his music published in a similar form.

Because the kitchen staff was unable to do this, Good King Hank decided to shorten them all after his usual fashion. At the last moment one figured it out and the King was pleased, sparing the entire staff. He was presented before the populace with a delightful mint confestion in which all of the notes were chocolate. This was then publically performed for him. This of course was the first public act of a-tone-mint.

Rauthulfr scurries away to his comparative anatomist that he might ask him what creature paint-balls come from. And also what portion of that particular animal they represent.
