See Merlastery and Hagastery

the religious practice of sacrificial worship of Merle Haggard in the Nanjing Prison

Etymology: Mirlazatry is a bastardized spelling of Merlastery. Merlastery evolved over 100’s of years from legends of the country singer and prison inmate Merle Haggard, the Hag. The origin is unknown but has been traced to writings by Caryl Chessman in the San Quentin Prison Archives. The religion competes with several types of ancestral inmate and singer worship in prison systems all over the world and broke off from Hagastery after introducing unorthodox sacrificial practices and studies of Lefty Frizzell to the religion. The largest practiced religion of this type is Cashastery.

new word: stiltawyrn

Stilt-a-wyrn

A Stiltawyrn is a pariah of the digital age. An advanced species of hydra-troll, these creatures hang out on hard-core underground 'cheeseboards' or 'mimolettes' where the denizens share their fetashistic behaviour with one another away from the dissaproval of the wider world. Talk of 'rolling a double gloucester' is not uncommon in this type of forum.
Stiltawyrns are usually French and adhere to the belief that the origins of English cheese comes by way of William the Conquerer bringing cistercian monks back with him from Burgundy in 1066 and strictly refute the notion that celtic monks and their 'trappist' cheeses came earlier.
Arguing with a stiltawyrn is useless- vetern cheeseheads call it 'falling into the trappist.'

What has alarmed cheesers in recent years is that stiltawyrns have brought their games to dangerous new levels. Rather than fight in the open, a stiltawyrn will benignly join a forum to engage in cheesetalk will willing participants.
Their intimate knowledge of all things cheesey makes them popular and some will fall for the stiltawyrn gambit, which usually alludes to having access to illicit, sometimes illegal cheeses. The cheesers, now trusting and eager, will express interest in these goods, whereas the stiltawyrn will then ask for personal info from the cheeser and offer to set up a 'meat' in 'cheesespace.' Stories of cheesers going to meats only to wind up asphixciated on overripe Roqueforts are known by all. The suspect always claims the victim made the request and the police, not wanting to get mixed up in the sordid business wash their hands of the matter. But the boarding community knows what really happened.
Today cheesers engage in many practices to 'out' stiltawyrms. Using the phrase
"blessed are the cheesemakers" and any reference to the landlord of the Bell Inn in Stilton are usually too much for the stiltawyrn to pass up.

The English version of a stiltawyrm is known as a Lincolnshire Poacher.

Blessed are the cheesemakers!

By horse from Bell to London
London to Bell
And back to London again
Done in less than 13 hours for 500 guineas
Quite a feat for any man
Wager a 1000 an’ ol’ Cooper’ll make it in under 10

A stiltawyrn is an unsettled spirit on tall sticks keeping watch over it's own grave until the Raven God brings peace to all souls.

Rambaud Wins!
