[[Peershakes|M. Peershakes]] lived from -204 [[EC]] to -152 [[EC]]; the personage known as '''Not Peershakes''' lived from goodness knows when to I really don't know. This lack of information is derived solely from the fact that whoever this guy, gal or grubling was, is completely unkown or unremembered or very-well-forgotten by all of Ghyll. There are numerous prospects alleged to be Peershakes, the most widely voiced being the journeyman grenfer from Shepenor, Frank Sicksdagrees.

There are also numerous works attributed to Not Peershakes, all signed "Peershakes" of course, except for "T'as a blime nikt," a play about the exploits of funnyman . One work that is proclaimed a Peershake by one faction and a Not Peershake by an opposing camp is "A Comedie of People Beinge Hit In The Face by Pie" written circa -171 [[EC]]. The pie in question is a lemming pie and to this day this work is cited in art history as the most famous use of the pie in art.

"Carving interesting patterns in carapaces has probably been done for at least a thousand years. Grenfing, the process of creating a mureannor by carving grooves with varying width and depth so that, when traced with a mandible, the whole carapace would resonate with sound, dates from about -350 EC.

Mureannors would travel from village to town, and would entertain locals by tracing their grenfs and causing the sounds to resonate from their carapaces.

However, any new development is invariably corrupted. Young couples soon found it enjoyable to have matching patterns, and would take turns tracing each others' grenfs. In -147 EC, Reeyay pronounced the tracing of others' grenfs to be indecent, and sought to have it banned. This led to a period of great popularity for grenfed carapaces over the next three decades.

Verses of Peershakes' sonnets were very popular subjects which people would have grenfed into their carapaces. Frank Sicksdagrees, widely suspected to be the impostor known as Not Peershakes, was a journeyman grenfer in Shepenor. Quite probably, he first came across Peershakes' verses when clients began bringing in wonderful bits of poetry for grenfing into their carapaces. But the only bit of verse reliably attributed to Mr. Sicksdagrees is this bit of doggerel:

Whoah that's a big belly,
Waddling down the street.
I wouldn't want to be
Between him and his lunch table.
He looks like he knows how to
Wield a buffet mace.

Of course, with the familiarity youth have with one another today, running a mandible along the grenfs on a sleek, shiny carapace just isn't as exciting as it once was"

"Gimlet is a play written about -167 EC by M. Peershakes (b. -204 EC, d. -152 EC). In his day, Peershakes was a noted scribbler and versifier. Productions of Gimlet are a perennial favorite among the Amphitheatre aristocracy and numerous famous stage actors have played the part of the title character. Since a full production of the play takes almost six hours, there are many abriged versions which are more commonly presented.

Gimlet was first presented at the Folktown Amphitheatre in -166 EC by the Third Horse Grenadiers, one of the finest troupes of players in the history of theater. Peershakes was a member of this company, and had already written almost a dozen other minor plays for them, many of them simple extrapolations of wive's tales. Gimlet was an immediate hit, and was performed no less than thirty times in the following year.

The story of Gimlet is an appealing farce. Gimlet is a young prince of Iganefta-on-the-Sea. Through an amazing series of coincidences, he finds himself in one predicament after another, and he goes through a series of screwball adventures with his two pals, Rocky and Guido. Their adventures include acting out a play for the king, playing hide-and-daggers, and cleaning their ears. In its day, it was a scandal for purportedly revealing secrets of the "Skull and Clown Society" at Bute University. But there is little real information about the organization in the play."
