Offe to Merry Olde Londontown.

Did you know that the "Ye" in "Ye olde x" was never pronounced "Ye"? Y is a typographic substitution for Þ, a letter called thorn, which could take either the soft th or hard th sounds. So "Ye" was actually pronounced "The".

That's actually quite a tangent, now that I think about it

Informational though.

Informational though.

Very much so.

Agreed. I think I learned that once in a Medieval Lit. course...but I smoked out much of my undergrad knowledge.

Clove cigarettes, I trust?

Ugh...haven't been able to smoke those since high school.

No, my college days were a bit, shall we say, wackier.

Smoking lead-based paint chips would be pretty wacky. Was that it?
