The Eschatologist: Party All The Time

I've been around, and the party just isn't the same.

Back in the day, spring festivals were all the rage. When the Nile flooded, we gave it up to old Osiris. Then came along Dionysus, and well, I tipped more than a few back, but those Romans...oh the Romans! Bacchanalia!

Then the Christians came along. Man, did they kill that buzz. Sure, the Feast of Fools was a blast; who doesn't like mocking the church? But, they stomped out all that fun. Now we've got Shrove Tuesday. Eh. You'd had to have been there, but it just ain't the same.
