Ezermethalon Under 19's Wet T-Shirt Contest
While Ezermethalon is notable for many other things--its Chair Brigade, its Ezermethalonian Museum of Notable Furniture, its Institute Of Accoutermentia--it is most remembered, and bittersweetly so, for its Under 19's Wet T-Shirt Contest.
The pair of prerequisites to join in the contest: 1) one must be an attractive female, and 2) one must be under 19. For this reason, the Under 19's Wet T-Shirt Contest is also known as "Jailbait Alley." The Water Elemenstors from the Institute provide the "wet", with the Notable Furniture Museum providing the "T-Shirt," the ritual shirts made from thin white cotton crafted for the very rite. The contestants, with T-Shirts donned, are enwettened by the Water Elemenstors. Judgment is then passed.
Though nigh-on every man in Ezermethalon looks forward to the Under 19's Wet T-Shirt Contest, the festival is tinged with elements of sorrow and opportunities wasted.
Ezermethalon's Under 19's Wet T-Shirt Contest has been immortalized in myriad poems for its emotional juxtaposition. One legendary selection goes as such:
Though flowers bloom alone in spring
And fall's cold kiss doth wane
The Under 19's T-Shirt test
Is that which brings me pain.
For Elemen can conjure blooms
Or call the cold wind down
But 16 gets you 20 years
In damned Ezermeth-Town
