Thats one of the basic underpinnings of the crabbit philosophy. Nod

Nah, someone crabbit is someone who's afraid of being happy because whenever they get too happy something bad tends to happen.. and they then get angry about it.

Don't forget the additional condition. Wink

weell... our minister of culture (is that the correct term?) has a very plain, normal face (actually very nice-looking, she looks like a very lovable woman) so therefore very hard to draw like a comic-type-of-thing of... but she had huge boobs so... Shrugging

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_an_Athlete_Dying_Young

The time you won your town the race,
We chaired you through the marketplace;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
As home we brought you shoulder-high.

To-day, the road all runners come,
Shoulder-high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town.

Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose.

Eyes the shady night has shut
Cannot see the record cut,
And silence sounds no worse than cheers
After earth has stopped the ears:

Now you will not swell the rout
Of lads that wore their honours out,
Runners whom renown outran
And the name died before the man.

So set, before its echoes fade,
The fleet foot on the sill of shade,
And hold to the low lintel up
The still-defended challenge-cup.

And round that early-laurelled head
Will flock to gaze the strengthless dead,
And find unwithered on its curls
The garland briefer than a girls.
