The Fable of The Lord of MisRule.

Origin: In England, the Lord of Misrule — known in Scotland as the Abbot of Unreason and in France as the Prince des Sots — was an officer appointed by lot at Christmas to preside over the Feast of Fools. The Lord of Misrule was generally a peasant or sub-deacon appointed to be in charge of Christmas revelries, which often included drunkenness and wild partying, in the pagan tradition of Saturnalia.

Legacy of DonJon’s Masquerade of Fools: The first Masquerade of Fools in 2010 at the historic Aristocrat Caravaner Society was well attended by many masked fools. At 2am the first Lord of MisRule would be anointed. Igor Postrekhin, the poster child for fools worldwide, was the odds on favorite. With beer can goggles and a gut that would make Chicago Bears fans proud, he was slugging loaded shots from Trojan Magnum condoms. It appeared there was no greater fool and he would breeze into the cherished lordship.


But, the party took a auspicious turn when an unknown fool walked in off the street. Simply dressed and without the requisite mask, he proceeded to consume levels of intoxicants beyond any known medical capacity. He danced, sang, and stumbled through several hours of raucous revelry. But clearly, Poster Child Postrekhin was not threatened by this "simple fool". The favorite had been flinging his loaded condoms high into the air landing them on the heads of revelers. Everyone knew he was the biggest fool.


The unknown fool continued his foolish consumption until he passed out in the old Sega Out Run under the steps. He had captured the attention of the crowd, but his foolishness was short lived. Or so they thought. Surprisingly he stumbled from his coma, mounted the deck and jumped into the crowd surfing above the party to wild cheers. He had captured the heart of the revelers and it appeared the unknown fool was back.  The Story Continues Below the Fold
