ATteNtIOn BajOrAn wOrKErS. A message for the kiddos at the BajOrAn wOrKEr daycare and propaganda preschool! You’ve all been so good lately I thought instead of an announcement today we can watch a fun educational video tape!

Uh NO I don’t have space bill nye. I don’t believe in his “warp field crisis” agenda. But I do have this lovely documentary on cryonics with actual footage that will leave your BajOrAn child brains scarred for years! Cryogenic freezing! Nice and wintery for the cold Cardasscember holidays! :)

Anonymous asked:

So, this feels dumb to ask being Welsh myself but kinda... missing out on this stuff, I know you're supposed to rhyme with the Mari Lwyd, but like... is there a specific rhyme? do you make it up on th4e spot? what's the etiquette for it all?

becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys answered:

This is actually a bit of a problem with the internet insistence on trying to make the Mari Lwyd relatable to a wider audience and therefore calling it a “rap battle” - it’s not a rhyme. It’s a song.

Or, well, rhyming rules are different in Welsh, and the word doesn’t mean what it means in English. But you’re basically rapidly on-the-spot songwriting, and you have to do it in cynghanedd, or at least in something that sounds close to cynhanedd.

The tune is always the same - the song is called Cân y Fari, and the first verse is always the same as well (it means, in summary, “Well here we are, friends, to ask for the chance to sing”). There’s a few other verses which are semi well-known, and those might get sung (they mean, in summary, “No, stop singing, go away”, and then “Yeah but singing and beer are nice, no?” and then “Pls stop”). But then you start making them up, and insulting each other as best you can. So in full Welsh poetic bardic tradition, it eventually devolves into “LET ME IN, GARETH, YOU PIECE OF SHIT, OR I’LL FUCK YOUR MAM AND YOUR DAD” and “I KNOW THAT’S YOU UNDER THERE, DAI, AND YOU AIN’T FUCKING DICK-ALL IF WHAT SIAN SAYS IS TRUE” and on and on it goes.

It’s actually genuinely quite challenging, which is why there was always a genuine will-they-won’t-they element to whether they get in the house or not.

Anyway, I had a quick check of YouTube to see if anyone had uploaded a version, and found this one for you to hear it:

It’s a beautiful song, actually, for all that it becomes an extremely juvenile slanging match between drunkards fighting over cheese.
