Description

Another homage to one of my favourite authors, Terry Pratchett. "Nanny enjoys food and drink despite only having one remaining tooth (the sight of Nanny Ogg eating a pickled onion is described as bringing tears to the eyes). When she is drunk, she has a tendency to sing very "special" songs, the most popular being "The Hedgehog Can Never Be Buggered At All" or simply "The Hedgehog Song" ... A close runner up for the most popular Nanny Ogg song is "A Wizard's Staff has a Knob on the End",... It is also notable that Nanny Ogg once gave Agnes Nitt lessons on how to sing, including how sing in harmony with herself (using her alter ego, Perdita). Nanny Ogg's bath night, as described in the novel Lords and Ladies, is an event feared by the entire population of Lancre, chiefly because she sings any and all of the above songs, accompanied by banjo, whilst bathing, and the tin bath amplifies her already overpowering vocal presence such that the audience is not so much "captive" as "hunted down". Residents of Lancre tend to hide their livestock at this time as well, as the trauma causes the sheep and goats to "give yogurt for weeks" afterwards. This event usually occurs once a year, so everyone has plenty of time to prepare." (from wikipedia)

Wow! What an amazing character! I enjoyed that narrative. I am not sure if she is falling or if the beer is defying gravity; just a tiny detail. This picture has a huge impact; I can even hear her signing from that picture.

Indeed - the beer glass seems to have moved in the process of making the image - damn. But maybe it ist just trying to get as far away from Nanny as possible without attracting too much attention :D
