Impariamo l'origine dei nostri detti

Cari lettori, benvenuti al primo (e forse ultimo) numero della fantastica rubrica “Impariamo l’origine dei nostri detti”. Quest’oggi la nostra attenzione sarà rivolta al notissimo modo di dire “Questa è l’ultima goccia”, che viene sovente utilizzato quando, dopo ripetuti accadimenti negativi, giunge un ulteriore e finale sciabolata di sfiga (o di altrui bastardaggine) che spinge l’individuo a desistere dai propri propositi.

Ma vediamo insieme come e quando nacque questo modo di dire oggi così utilizzato.

Si narra (fonti storiche confuse a leggende popolari attribuiscono agli eventi una datazione attorno ai gloriosi anni ’80 d.C.) che in un piccolo borgo medievale chiamato Monte Bodio (o Montalboddo dagli abitanti meno acculturati) fosse tradizione disputare ogni anno, in una serata d’estate, un torneo cavalleresco. Questo torneo, chiamato “Goccia d’Oro” per via della forma del trofeo assegnato al vincitore, era all’epoca ancor più famoso del già famoso Palio di Siena, tanto che il commediografo inglese William Shakespeare si ispirò proprio al desiderio di vittoria che pervadeva i concorrenti della Goccia d’Oro quando scrisse il suo celeberrimo “Sogno di una notte di mezza estate”.
Ogni anno che Iddio mandava in terra, la Goccia d’Oro vedeva impegnati i vari feudatari bodiesi che si sfidavano in diverse discipline per conquistare l’ambìto trofeo, la gloria per un intero anno e soprattutto per poter dare in moglie la propria figlia al bellissimo Lucaldo il Bono, figlio del re di Monte Bodio.
Per diversi anni, la contesa della Goccia d’Oro andò avanti con immutato entusiasmo, richiamando nella corte del castello di Monte Bodio milioni di cittadini festanti, i quali si intrattenevano assistendo alle gare e degustando prodotti alcolici conosciuti con i nomi di Birra, Vino e superalcolici. Tali prelibatezze venivano acquistate nelle varie osterie del loco, tra le quali la preferita era, per motivi scaramantici legati alla competizione, quella denominata “La Vittoria”.
Insomma, per un anno intero ciò a cui tutti i Bodiesi rivolgevano il pensiero era solo ed unicamente la contesa della Goccia d’Oro.
Come tutte le cose belle, però, anche per la nostra Goccia giunsero tempi oscuri, a causa della sempre maggiore violenza dimostrata nelle prove e soprattutto a causa del sempre minor valore del premio finale, sminuito dal fatto che Lucaldo, per ovvii motivi, non poteva cambiar dama ogni anno.
Come Narciso, ammaliato ed ucciso dalla sua stessa bellezza, così anche la Goccia, per anni unico amore dei bodiesi, finì per essere divorata dal suo stesso fascino.
Si giunse così ad una triste decadenza del torneo che spinse il ciambellano di corte, da sempre responsabile dell’organizzazione, a decretare l’annullamento dello stesso con una frase che avrebbe segnato per sempre il corso della storia.
Questa è l’ultima Goccia!” disse dal palco reale prima dell’inizio dell’edizione 1995, gettando nello sconforto i cittadini Bodiesi e le numerose spasimanti di Lucaldo.
E così, in effetti, fu: la Goccia, l’ultima Goccia, fu conquistata dal feudatario Francesco d’Assisi (poi divenuto San Francesco) ma nella notte dei tempi di essa si perse ogni traccia. Voci attendibili attribuite al giornale “Gente” narrarono anche di un suo avvistamento nelle mani di un certo Smeagol ma per molti anni essa non fu più rinvenuta.

La stretta attualità ci porta ora a collegare questa spiegazione tecnico scientifica della nascita del detto “Questa è l’ultima Goccia” con gli ultimi eventi relativi al glorioso torneo Bodiese.

Erano ormai trascorse due ere (ere, non ore!) dall’ultima edizione della Goccia d’Oro e a Monte Bodio, nel frattempo rinominata Ostra, in pochi si ricordavano di questo antico e amatissimo accadimento annuale.
Gli anziani, forse ancora traumatizzati dai racconti tramandati nel tempo, non osavano nemmeno nominarlo mentre i giovani si scambiavano segretamente ricordi e speranze su di esso.
Fu così che un manipolo di coraggiosi giovani ostrensi, tra i quali colui che si dice sia l’erede di Lucaldo il Bono, decise nell’anno 2007 di riportare in vita l’antico torneo e le antiche rivalità feudali.
Noncuranti del proverbio originato dai terribili eventi passati, i cinque temerari partirono alla ricerca del mitico trofeo dorato e, una volta riconquistatolo, si misero all’opera per riportare la Goccia d’Oro agli antichi fasti.
Purtroppo però, come tutti sanno, nella vita i proverbi sono un po’ l’unica cosa certa e fu così che la maledizione del ciambellano iniziò ad ostacolare il lavoro dei nostri. Molti impedimenti si pararono loro innanzi ma la tenacia dei cinque non venne intaccata e, giunti ai giorni nostri, la sfida per fare del torneo una nuova Fenice che rinasca dalle proprie ceneri è più aperta che mai.

Riusciranno i nostri eroi a sconfiggere il proverbio e a riportare in vita la mitica Goccia d’Oro? L’appuntamento è per il 19 agosto, chi vivrà vedrà.

Beginner's Route to Online Casinos
The online casinos are a great source of entertainment and fun. That said, there are a number of things you should take into consideration before playing. Choosing the right casino should be your first step in your quest for a great gaming experience online. As such, choosing the right casino will lead you to have a lot of fun and also win at the same time.

1. You need to go on a vacation if you want to play in the regular brick-n-mortar casinos. That will cost a good amount of money and take away a whole lot of your quality time. Then, your family may want to tag along, as they too don't want to miss out on the action. So, in the end you will end up paying for airfares, hotel rooms, car rentals, food, shopping and hanging around. When you actually get to the casino, you will find that there's very little money left to spend on the casino games, which is the reason why you went there in the first place! However, online casinos spare you the trouble of traveling and wasting money on riff-raffs. Plus they save you a whole lot of time as you can play in the comfort of your home at a time of your own convenience and at your own pace plus within your own budget too.

2.) Normally, most online bingo game sites offer chat rooms for their players. Get conversing with fellow players and try to find out how many cards they are playing with. You can play with just a few more bingo cards to increase your chances of winning the game. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]free online bingo games[/url] The game of online bingo proceeds with the calling of different numbers within 75. You need to notice the trend of the first ten or twelve called numbers to understand the system in operation. If the first called number is say G52, probability of the next number not ending in 2 is higher as there are fewer numbers ending in two than in other digits. [url=http://www.bingokisses.com]uk online bingo[/url] Bingo is a fantastic game and is fast becoming one of the most popular forms of entertainment on the internet, our advice is to have fun and be safe, we wish you all the luck in the world with your bingo playing, thanks for reading.

Your aim would be to cover the prescribed pattern with the bingo letters, by coordinating the letters and numbers called. The patterns can be anything like, u shape, t shape, etc, though it usually is horizontal or vertical. As soon as you get the pattern, you should shout bingo and you get the prize. In case there are others who shouted at the same time as you, the prize will be shared among all winners.
