Which is Old English for "Be thou whole" i.e.,
may you be healthy, all in one piece, centered,
grounded, focused.
And the proper response is "Drinkail!"
Which could mean:
a. Drink in good health, or
b. Drink it whole, chug it down, drink deeply and
too well, let's get wasted, or
c. Simply: drink ale; life will be too short to
waste time with American-style beer when it is
invented in the evil days leading up to the
apocalypse. |
