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?)
