That drunk hog from Yes drank buckets of metheglin, then wanked and shat in the Grail!

Myths & Legends Of King Arthur & The Knights Of The Round Table

Notes
  1. "That drunk hog": See People self-identifying as alcoholics
  2. Metheglin: "An alcoholic liquor made of fermented honey, often containing a spice or medicinal substance: a kind of mead." See also Thomas Warton's The Grave of King Arthur: "From massy cups, with golden gleam / Sparkled the red metheglin's stream."
  3. An alternative anagram offers a conflicting account of this event: Deft UK organist smoked kef, drank bhang, then shat in the Holy Grail. Damn nut! We retch! The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.
  4. Kef: "A substance, esp. cannabis, smoked to produce a drowsy state."
  5. Bhang: "A mild preparation of marijuana made from young leaves and stems of the Indian hemp plant, Cannabis sativa, drunk with milk or water as a fermented brew."
