	Agreed. That all started in one particular Eastern court when the
court herald (I won't mention his name in case he;s trying to live it down
<g>)himself got a bit silly and called for a cheer for the scroll and led
the people in "ooo, ahh, ohh." After that the populace kept it up on their
own and by the end of the court is was as nearly a permanent institution as
anything in the SCA is...

	I don't recall that the Great Dark Horde shouted anything different
in court unless one of their own were being honhored in which case it was
not uncommon to hear "WETSU" (an acronym for We Endeavor To Succeed
Universally) from both Horde and Horde-friends. "Wetsu" was also a battle
cry at times.
