We all know how illerate some of the bashers are. Some of them are out in space in more ways than one. Many seem to be anxiously awaiting for a Wake - but the only problem is no one has died nor are they about to die. It's high time for them to Wake up.

Traditionally, a wake is held on the night before a funeral. Attendees at the wake stay up all night with the body, which is laid out so that people can visit and spend time with the deceased. Historically, funerals were held the day after a death, to give people time to gather for the event, and the body would be laid out in the home of the deceased or a family member, allowing members of the community to visit. Some cultures retain this tradition, while others hold the wake at a funeral home, and in some cases, the body may not be present at all.

At a wake, people eat, exchange stories about the dead, sing traditional songs and laments, and support the family members of the deceased. Different cultures have different beliefs about the wake, but generally people stay up all night with the deceased as a mark of respect, although wakes can actually become quite raucous, especially in the early hours of the morning. A wake and a funeral may sometimes be combined, with an officiant conducting the service in the morning after the wake.

In Ireland, a boisterous party is called a "HOOLEY" - perhaps the Bashers are even more confused over this as well - there is a great difference!
