The Harvest Queen – clay carved to form a figurine of lady – is robed in green cloth, given crown of field flowers. Into her hands are pressed a copper trinket in the form of a scythe and a strand of corn. Now her parade begins. Now the rough music and pouring of ale. – #CLNolan

@jwomack Pre-9/11, I used to be a member of the London Troglodyte Club and explore ghost tube stations, accessible bits of Q-Whitehall and in the tradition of my family, the sewers.

@jac201315 @TexasMonthly @thetexanist Here is the cave-old rule that many have forgotten, when you step over the threshold into another‰Ûªs abode, you bring something to give (often your custom) and you receive some tokens of welcome. Mess with this and you mess with civility and civilisation.

@SQLPi @jac201315 While no Englishman should ever be foolish enough to involve himself in Texan business, any violation of traditional rules of hospitality is always to be frowned upon. These subtle bonds and contracts should not be broken – not only due to manners, but due to their psychic glue.
