Some Swiss like the proverb that says the way you shout something into the forest is the way it will come back to you. So if you want someone to be cooperative, you have to show the same spirit.

A ceiling of oak leaves, with an enormous wasp nest nestled snugly amidst them, shelters a large tea-stained book with various letters printed upon its thick pages. To the left, a small skeleton made of grapevine branches twirls slowly in circles...

The Victorian icons have a resonance which seems strangely suited to the fantastic atmosphere of the comedy, and the bowler hats, black umbrellas, high collars and spats worn by some inhabitants of the green, fruitful forest lend the entire stage...
...Mary's boasts 7'3, 345-pound center Brad Millard as well as competent outside shooting. This offensive balance is more than its highly-tauted opponent, Wake Forest, can claim during the latter stages of its season. The Gaels could give Duncan everything he can handle and the fireworks inside should be fun as well...
