MYTHS AND LEGENDS

I wanted write the whole website mainly from an urge to do this page, so it might be mainly interesting to, er, me.  But if you've just joined oules, this page could be useful reading to find out who we are, what we're like and what on earth we're laughing about.

We have, over the many years (dear me, nearly 6 years now! That does make me feel old) developed many ancient customs and rituals of great importance and value.  These must be set down, lest they are lost to future generations. Also, there are many somewhat talented people hiding in our midst, and it's nice to publish their stuff. So, anyone who wants to submit tales, poems, songs or thoughts please do.

I've re-arranged things a little here. I hope you like.

Customs and rituals:

Something approaching an explanation of some aspects of oules.

VOLES The Spurious Words Game

Flosscars

Mosscars

Drinks

UPDATED! The OULES Family Tree - a lovely little programme written by Duncan that explains how we're all related. (That would be college relationships, ie when you turn up you get assigned a mother and father to look after you, and then you start adopting...)

UPDATED! Scripts - It is customary to have a script, so we have something to forget. Sorry, these are password protected and I'll only give you the password if you're a member of oules.

Genius and Joy:

This is where you, yes you, the humble oule, get to publish your amazing creativity. So get creating!

Songs and Poems

The Finals Cometh -by Sally Close, having borrowed a little from Flanders and Swann

A lot of Limericks - all sent to the oules-social mailling list.

Monty Song - by Sally - On the making of our most beautiful pantomime horse. That's `most beautiful' in a `most excellent' kind of way, not to imply that we have another, less beautiful pantomime horse. Because we don't.

'Twas The Night of the Play - by Andrea - the play in question being Dracula.

My Favourite Things by Duncan, James, Cath and Elizabeth, with a new addition from Miles that lowers the tone further still, and some real unpleasantness from Ben and Mark. This isn't strictly speaking genius or joy, but hey, it has to be somewhere.

A Bunch of Silly Poems by a collection of nutters on a bus, along the priniples of...

MOLES self-growing poem on Richard's site - currently given is the poem people managed to write by all donating a couple of lines, having only seen one line beforehand. Richard actually wrote clever script so that people can create such a poem online, but there doesn't seem to be one in progress at the moment. Have I explained that really badly? Anyone want to offer some sentences that make sense?

Show-Stopping Songs:

I've rearranged things a little - this has oules songs (and further adaptations), but non-show related genuius is now Genius and Joy.
