Larimick: (Noun) Singular form of Larimuckle. The single player within the current collective of Boston, who most resembles the mythic figure Larry, referred to often in sagas of ancient battle triumphs. The occupiers of that position through the ages are the Larimuckle.
Like Mary's right before this -- I love the specificity of the definition. But I'd really like to hear more of the myth of Larry.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Andi - we need more of the myth of Larry. Perhaps all will be come clear in future definitions.
ReplyDeleteLarry carried the Mark of 33 and used his deadly long-range accuracy to defeat all opponents. He was noted for his cunning and drive, with which he turned away many challengers possessing superior physical gifts. He gathered a mighty band of warriors around him and restored the royal mantle to a fallen people. Larry and his Irish band fought off the machinelike attack of the piston-people. He crushed powerful beasts, such as wild bulls and mighty hawks, beneath his ankle-high leather boots. When the elements themselves rose up against Larry, he engaged in a series of fabled battles against the very lakes and threw them back. Although later defeated by the lakes, he rose up and smote the waves and drove them back to the distant lands from which they came. Larry - in Boston that is all one needs say and all know his deeds of valor. Lancelot, El Cid, Alexander, --- Larry.
ReplyDeleteNot bad, Teach, but you forgot the part where he came from Indiana where he first showed his warrior prowess, wielding the mighty sycamore as a powerful weapon.
ReplyDeleteThe sycamore failed against the magical Spartans. I also left out his great weakness - that ratty mustache.
