On Harry Potter Filks this month, we're offering nine new filks 
concerning Aberforth Dumbledore and his "inappropriate" goat-charms.  
When I do the next update, these filks will be moved to a page all 
their own. I could title it something boring, like "Aberforth 
Dumbledore," but that would totally fail to reflect the unique je ne 
se quois quality of these goat-intoxicated melodies.

(SCroll down to "Embraceable Ewe")



The Contest: Come up with a name for HPF's upcoming Aberforth 
Dumbledore page. So far, the suggestions include

The Discreet Charm of Aberforth Dumbledore   - CMC 
Tin Can Alley  - CMC 
Aegospotamoi  - Haggridd (where the Athenian sailors went down for 
the count during the Peloponnesian War?  - I confess to a weakness 
for classical references.)

And if you're into classical references – and we are, we are! – you 
should be aware of the original meaning of tragedy 

"In ancient times, tragoidia or tragedy was explained as a song for 
the prize of a goat or song at the sacrifice of a goat."

Post your entries on OT-Chatter – I, employing outrageously 
subjective criteria, will select a winner on March 1, and bestow 
eternal glory upon the champion by posting hiserrer name on HPF (so 
what did you expect, 500,000 Frequent Flyer miles?)
