Just before noon, they will all gather in their respective city centers and begin the Happy Dance, a ceremonial dance whose precise movements have been passed down and safeguarded in Tradition and Sacred Writ. The joy expressed in the citizenry's rhythmic fist pumps and synchronized angular momentum is contagious, inspiring onlookers to call their relatives and give them good news, as is customary on this special morning. With a profound, simultaneous last fist pump (called the Wüdzpump), the Happy Dance is over: but the celebration has only begun. For 8 days and 8 nights Maxerbetzites will feast on assorted pizzas and varieties of peanut butter, and will lift their spirits with ceremonial Darcbier. For most, the celebrations cease on the 8th night (traditionally called Hango'ereen) when wives and girlfriends are encouraged to slap their mates to remind them of their responsibility to work as Max had worked. More strict sects, while observing Hango'ereen, do not return to work until September 7th, the official end of Epictide. Despite the pomp, the military parades and 30 Mech salutes, nearly all Maxerbetzites agree that the true spirit of the Feast of Max's Ascent to Epic is found in the smiling faces of the young citizenry as they greet each other with fist pumps on Epic Day morning. Such a humble start to so great a Feast may seem odd to outsiders (what's left of them), but it was precisely his own humble beginnings that made Max the beloved <i>Overlord</i> he was.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03541279164049425636noreply@blogger.com
