Somewhat early today!

The Jäger dialect is horrendous, because I always have to walk a fine line between sticking to "proper form" and making it actually somewhat understandable. To add to the confusion, Phil writes is a little differently than I do. Regional dialects, I guess. Just assume that they're old guys who are still putting on the accents of their youth because who's going to stop them.

I wonder what the contests with "Lots of Biting" were. Maybe the Professoressa can write a paper on that once she's done with the one on Mechanicsburg Solstice celebrations.

Also, there's a lot of Jägermonster talk here, so here's a translated page script:

PANEL ONE

Oggie: "Okay, so where was I?"

Professoressa: "Uh…Jäger kissing?

Oggie: "tsk! And you a new-married lady!"

PANEL TWO

Professoressa: So obvious you're related.

Oggie: HO! Yes! The Jägerstomp! We would tour the town, visit all the people–

PANEL THREE

Oggie: Until the clocks struck midnight!

PANEL FOUR

Oggie: Then the Heterodyne would lead us off to the Jägerhall! It was wonderful! The town would have it all fancied up for the holidays–and we would have more food, and drinks, and dancing; music and fights and contests with lots of biting–

PANEL FIVE

Oggie: Ahhh–and then we would roister for the next three days!

Professoressa: With the Heterodynes leading the revels, I suppose?

PANEL SIX

Oggie: Well, no, actually. They always made a big deal about walking home alone.
