Dance around the may pole and get pregnant or drive a tank/missile launcher through Red Square, which is more fun? Nice weather for it either way.

I shudda done a pole for this shouldn't I?

Neither.

I go for the "Ship in distress, we're sinking, we're sinking!" definition of Mayday :-)

Down Limerick way (and parts of Co. Galway inc. the islands) last night would have been bonfire night and we would be having a good bath on the first day of May to wash the smell of campfire away. Sadly the eco-fascists have made the ancient fires lit to honour the god Baal illegal. So today is the start of Bealtaine but we have no 'tine' for Baal. Survived 1600 years of Christo-fascism but the eco-fascists get it destroyed in jig time.

Probably something to do with the heaps of tyres and household crap burnt with billowing clouds of black smoke? Very eco friendly.

Burning rubbish? No, we're offering it to Baal...

Does that constitute as pole dancing?

The great appear great because we are on our knees. Let us rise!

So some burnt tyres and all bonfires are outlawed. Kind of like banning cars because some people have crashed theirs.

You could just outlaw burning of tyres and hazardous material but that would be too much like common sense.

Nothing wrong with getting rid of a bit of unwanted old furniture and pallets around the neighbourhood and having people in a community gather to celebrate something that has been done since time immemorial. Unless you are an eco-dick. At least the Catholicism thing was a bit of craic at times.
