Hello faire folk,
I am looking for faire jokes, stories, songs, parodies and variations that we might not sing in front of the crowds. I am looking for those song verses that we only sing at the end of day on those last weekends were we wont get in trouble for it.
If it is a random verse for drunken sailor you made up on the fly, Great! Does if have the bellman getting hit by a bus, cool. Even better. If it is dirty, talking about someone, something faire related or not I would love to know it. Want to make something new, now is the time. (and if anyone has other versions of the opening and closing parade song I would really love to know them)
Know a good or bad joke faire related but not (i.e. how many puritans does it take to screw in a light bulb…) I want to know it. Or want to make up a bunch of bad ren faire jokes. Now is your chance.
Ever tell the young faire brats stories of the night life (which may or may not be true), or of the privy monster, or the dragon in the maze. I want to know it.
Basiclly all those little things we say, sing, talk about and put on pins that only we as faire people really understand. I would like to know and I think others would be interested too. So message me or just reply here.
Why? I am taking a folklore class at CSU Sacramento and will be writing a paper about the folklore we have. Some who did the Casa Faire this year may remember the pink surveys I passed out and thank you greatly to those that responded. I would like to write down some of the things we say, do, sing and joke about that haven’t been written yet. I would like others to understand who we are and why we spend so much time and money and energy and life on faire. So if you would please help me out for class if for no other reason that would be wonderful.
And please don’t worry I am faire brat of the days of Blackpoint I would never write or do anything to hurt faire or who we are. This is strictly an academic adventure for my teacher and many things will be edited in the final drafts.
Thank you
Sarah
And yes this has been cross posted to many faire type tribes for maximum reply possibilities. And if you make up something new please claim it as your own and I will credit your work.

Re: Looking for Songs, variations, jokes and parodies
Tue, October 23, 2007 - 9:02 AMI'll see if I can find a copy of my sonnet, "An Ode to the Turks (Ptoo!)" I used to belong to a Gypsy guild that always spit to the left whenever anyone said "Turk".

Sun, November 4, 2007 - 10:58 AMYears ago my brother and our friend Fernando made up new words to "Rawhide" based on Faire. I will try and find them for you simply because it's freaking hilarious!!!
Cue up the music in your head, now:
Rolling, rolling, rolling, keep those nobles rolling
Keep those noble rolling, PROGRESS!!!!
I don't remember too much more, musta been all that Harbor lights and other alcohols, but I will try and find them for you. Good luck!!
