If tourism there picks up, they might need to open an airport and clear a landing strip.

We used to have a Muff Fair but since around the early 2000s attendance dwindled to a bare minimum, and they had to rename it the Merkin Fair.

This is likely related to another ancient Celtic festival wherein the young folks from the town parade around the town square singing “Hooray, hooray, its the first of May – outdoor shagging starts today” and then run for the nearest bushes.

Came here to post that exact pic. (It came up first in a Google image search)
Anyway, came to say that I was jealous of my older sister having one of those things when we got all dressed up for church. Mum said I couldn’t have one.
I’m a dude… that’s why this story is funny.
(And before any of you Boingers chime in… yes I’m aware of the sexuality/gender identity undertones of this story)

I was going to make a joke as well but realized my avatar already does it.

Unless I run out of things to do and see in the US I really have no interest in traveling overseas but if that day comes Muff Fair will be one of my first stops.

I’m casting my vote for Kanye. Amber Rose is just holding that for him while he uses the little boys’ room.

If your question mark is why my story is funny, here’s why:
Because I am a 58 year old, cynical, gay man who fought for queer civil rights in Ala-God-Damn-Bama in the early 1990s. So I’m allowed to find the absurd humour of a 7 year old Catholic boy in Pittsburgh in the 1960s asking his bewildered mother for a muff to wear in church.
At that time and place, in my experience, there was no notion of queer identity. I was just a weird kid.
And yes, it would have been nice if 1960s society was accepting of a boy using a muff in church. But it wasn’t.
To repeat… I’m a dude, that’s why it’s funny.

I thought it was because you asked why you couldn’t have a muff like your sister and she had no idea what you meant

I asked my giirllfriend to give me a Big Muff guitar distortion pedal and she did.
No sniggering joke here.
I love the way my ‘Big Muff’ sounds with a custom made Strat into a Deluxe Reverb.
Still no joke.
Love the sound of the Big Muff in the chain to my amp.
Just thought I’d share a story about receiving a Big Muff as a present. Love to use it to this day. My Big Muff gives me joy!
