Lord Cuthbad & Ollamh Calum prepare for a long, boring, drunken court where they have to pee for 3 terrific hours. Pennsic 14

Founders of many fine traditions, we staged the first Pennsic cattle raid against our friends from Dal-Radia. Easily distracted by swordplay and boasting, the Dal-Radians were completely engaged and unsuspecting while drunken Bheithirians snuck into the rear of their encampment and stole the bright red, six foot penis from their totem bull. The Dal-Radians responded in true Celtic fashion and took our sheep. A bitter struggle for the control of our respective herds ensued. (On a side note, during the following Pennsic Wars, "cattle raiding" became so pervasive that some moron with a title decided to enact rules of raiding).

The eternal Quest for more beer.

On another occasion, combined members of the Clan, under the nom de spoof "Irik's Entrepreneurs," (along with some Fitzgeralds and other citizens of Settmour Swamp) became highwaymen for an evening. Baiting the trap with purportedly injured belly dancers, we lured successive groups of revelers into our bloody hands. Wearing black masks, we leapt from the darkened foliage, and began handing out our favorite frosty beverage along with calling cards. The cards stated that the participants had been "robbed" by Irik's Entrepreneurs and to "Have a pleasant evening--Thank you for playing." (On a side note, during the following Pennsic Wars, "highway robbery" became so pervasive that some moron with a title decided to enact rules of highwaymanship).

We were the originators of the mobile party at Pennsic. It was called "The Carouse Around the Lake" and the Tuchux were the first of many to complain about our noise (that annoying "Party Amoeba!" cry that you hear everywhere at Pennsic is just an inferior imitation). The Clan traveled as a 5-piece digeridoo band one year, complete with aboriginal hi-jinks. Needless to say, each year brings a new innovation and inevitable adventures result.

Early Bheithiri would often eat a thick and unusual gruel known as "Rehumen with snood" before battle to make them ferocious (smelling). Some of the ingredients are shown here.

Lynchburg Lemonade Recipe

This drink was made famous by House brother Aonghus MacIrik, who decreed that it should only be made in large quantities and shared communally (don't worry about germs, they'd never survive).
We have been known to take large quantities on our carouses around Pennsic. Unfortunately, due to the popularity of this drink and to the amount we drink, we usually didn't get very far before having to turn back for more. Since that time "a Lynchburg" has been also known as a unit of distance.
