re:Merry andrwe RIDICULOUS crossposting and how to STOP it - 2006/10/09 07:59
In the first place mery has a CXV text citation.
However, Merry-Andrews might secondly be a corruption from
ANDYRS: Other. [A.S.] The more usual form of which is ENDRES.
It is difficult to find both words conjoined, but below they both exist in the same text. Anyway (Jamieson explains it St. Andrew's Day, 30th November; but particularly does not reconcile it with the followin "mery mornyng of May".)
In addition as I me went this /andyurs/ day,
Fast on my way makyng my mone,
In a /mery/ mornyng of May,
Be Huntley bankes myself alone.
/MS. Cantab. Ff. v. 48, f. 116

When I first heard that Marge was joining the police academy, I thought it would be fun and zany, like that movie Spaceballs. But instead it was dark and disturbing. Like that movie -- Police Academy.
