===The Debate=== | ===The Debate=== | ||
It is not uncommon for Tellarites to go out of their way in order to find a good argument. In fact it is both their most popular spectator sport and their fondest activity next to eating. Any subject and any point of view is fair game. | It is not uncommon for Tellarites to go out of their way in order to find a good argument.

===Musicals and Operas=== | |||
Both operatic and popular musicals which feature love stories tend to follow a classic format. The couple has a first encounter which goes poorly. This is followed by the first song of the show, called the Song of Derision, where the couple sing to each other about how repulsed they are by each other. After going their separate ways, circumstances force them back together where they face an external obstacle, they overcome it, and then they end up together, somewhat grudgingly. Usually the title of the Song of Derision is taken as the title of the whole performance. | |||
Some classics include: | |||

"Tellarites do not get drunk, just feisty." This is a popular belief that does seem to have some basis in fact. Due to their unique body chemistry they are better suited to consume large quantities of fermented drinks without suffering the usual side-affects. | "Tellarites do not get drunk, just feisty."
