Well, Demented, that was pretty descriptive with few frills.
I have set my mind to it.
Nick, what is the weevil's life cycle in Nov/Dec - I suppose it depends on the hemisphere? I'd guess northern hemisphere weevils don't do a great deal over the winter months? They are not a migratory species/genus are they?

Some species are but some like it where it's cold.

Brother Zonker, Doctor of Dementia, is quite correct. Some species prefer the snowy climes of winter, and for various reasons.
Weevils are very easy-going, and any holiday celebration enjoyed by humans will be enjoyed by their weevil compadres.
Perhaps some snowy daytime weather activities followed by something warm and mellow in the evening.

No, they don't die for the winter which I consider to be a very good thing!

It's a slow day in weevil land, it seems. I think everyone's busy or something. I haven't heard from anyone (Frizz?) in some time. Ah well, that's OK. Things will pick up.

I hope so! We only have one suggestion for the new holiday!

How about 'The feast of ancestors'? This could be a specialised weevil version of all-souls. It would obviously have to involve blazing fires and fond memories, as well as marzipan gin. The depths of Winter seem an appropriate time for such a ceremony and there must be legends of undead weevils with slavering fangs (who just want to be friends and have fun.The Transylvanian "its only strawberry jam" weevil perhaps?

Perc, Are you registering a new weevil species called the Transylvanian "it's only strawberry jam" Weevil?
Undead weevils? Are you sure?

sounds good to me

I have carefully considered this matter. The Transylvanian "Its only strawberry jam" weevil will become my watchword when dealing with people who claim to be misrepresented.
I have to ask "do weevils get pensions?". If they do, the economic burden imposed by undead weevils may be insupportable.

Being as I've never seen or heard about a dead weevil, I don't think there could be an undead weevil.

I guess this answers the question about a weevil's lifespan. 
When they die, they become undead, and then the real partying begins.

Does an undead weevil need to regenerate the way a vampire does? When is an undead weevil active? Day? Night?

Nick O`Teen Posted Apr 3, 2000
They're not vampiric, or even zombies. They're just undead. If you ask any undead weevil they'd tell you, "I'm undead, but hey, it's cool. Know where any parties might be?"

So, they don't need to regenerate or anything?
Dr. D

Nick O`Teen Posted Apr 3, 2000
I don't think so. I believe that marzipan gin provides enough kick to keep any weevil going, undead or alive.
