And at last I have the thought I've been waiting for: back in the Middle
Ages, in some parts of Europe, once a year or so the town would have a
Feast of Fools, dressing a donkey in the priest's vestments to hold a Mass,
having the town retard deliver a homily, and generally making a complete
mockery of what was sacred the other 51 weeks of the year.

ourselves of all our dead thoughts and cliches, mock everything that isn't
nailed down... .
