First it was French. Then German. Then French. Then German & then French again.
Strasbourg is the capital of the Alsace region of France & to retain some sort of identity after so many flag changes, it adopted the language of Alsatian. This occasionally proved to be problematic as other dogs struggled to understand even the simplest of commands such as “fetch”, “sit”, & “bring me my slippers”. However “walkies” seemed to be universally recognised. Especially amongst smaller, yappy dogs. However, in 1977 the British Kennel Club agreed to stop using the name Alsatian & instead revert to German Shepherd which was frustrating for the Strasbourgites who had just added the language to their school curricula in the hope that the kids could at last understand what granny was going on about during their weekend visits.
The city is known for being the origin point for raves. In 1518 an experimental form of ecstasy was trialed initially in an attempt to stop people talking to dogs. However, as confirmed by the bloke down the pub, the seedy underbelly of the Strasbourg drug scene started pushing the pills in nightclubs during that summer. An unsuspecting Frau Troffea, on a hen party with her mates, thought she’d show off & took 3 tabs of this new recreational marvel. This proved to be a fatal error as once she started dancing, she simply could not stop. Doctors had to step in after a solid week of dancing had dehydrated her & resulted in bloodied feet & she was hospitalised where she eventually died. From dancing. But the spectacle intrigued her fellow ravers &, by the time Fat Boy Slim had got half way through his headlining slot, rave bunnies were rolling tits and candy flippin’ like there was no tomorrow. & for many of them that was the case and somewhere between 50 & 400 of them craved the drop so bad that they danced themselves literally to death.
Keen to distance itself from the narcotics angle, the local wikipedia editor was tasked to change the entry which currently refers to the events as a plague. But, if you see random dancing outbreaks around the city, please offer the victims plenty of water & call for medical assistance.
Despite the edit, drug culture still bubbled away under the surface & one user put her addled state to some use by making life sized wax dolls of famous TV celebs, pop stars, royal people & Elton John…or is it Jeffery Dahmer? This pastime was originally to offset her total lack of friends & to use up a job lot of candles someone had dumped in her back yard. Marie Tussaud soon attracted the attention of the British tabloids & moved to London to set up a museum where her work could be mocked for a much wider audience than she ever got back home.
This evening’s venue was designed in the “first attempt on the lathe in woodwork class” style by Massimiliano Fuksas who, remembering the look of bewilderment on his woodwork teacher’s face when he turned in his effort at a candle stick holder, figured, “What the heck? Let’s just make a really big one.” Heading to this collapsed meringue today we have
snoopy , Millhaus , bloodflowers78 , lolb , ruegi , & olivier direct from filling up with Flammekueche & Meteor Ackerland. We hope you have a terrific show
Now they’ve settled on a flag, we’re going red & white again for this one.
