Gathering phrases

Posted by Christina on July 02, 2001 at 13:09:55:

We all know the Gathering prompted some great visual moments, but did you know it also spawned its own famous quotations? Just a few I jotted down...

First of all, of course, there was the phrase coined by me, The Red-Haired Lass, which preceded my arrival in Chimney Rock and was recited to me by folks I hadn’t even met yet: “I’ll give you mooooooooo-nnnnneeeeyyyy...” Good for wheedling favors out of folks, but not good enough to get the recipe for Ping.

“They’re probably blowin’ the shut-up horn!” Miss MMMMarcia, on Sunday night, when we heard a car horn blaring in the parking lot shortly after we all had shut down the tiki bar out back

“What in the name of the Wee Manny?” A Scots turn of phrase, uttered in surprise by Miss Katie

“Do al ittle drugs, drink a little liquor and one morning you wake up dead...” Miss MMMarcia, commenting on what happens if you lead a sordid life on the frontier

“Wake up naked and ready to kill.” Quoted by me, the Red-Haired Lass. Actually, this was my mistaken interpretation of a phrase I heard uttered out at the tiki bar. It was later agree d by the crowd gathered there that this should be the official motto for Bumppo’s Tavern.
