After Sir William Coeur D'Boeuf was killed in the fall of 1984, 
(William was the first chivalry member made by a Calontir 
King), Sir Erich  and I mourned his passing, for he was a bard 
of the first order. Ever ready to drink a beer and sing a song. 
Oft if you were in eye shot he would adlib you into the lyrics 
seamlessly. When I think of the great campfire bards of 
Calontir, I include him.

Anyway, his mundane name was Fesselmeyer, and his device had a 
heraldic pun I am not competent to reveal.  It was frequently 
used as an example of creative heraldry.

So Erich and I thought, one sad postrevel soon after he left 
us, that nothing would please him more, or be more fitting to 
immortalize him, that slipping Fesselmeyer into the Old Dun 
Cow, which had been his very favorite song, and do so in the 
manner he had done so to us so many times.   Thereafter, Erich 
has always led us in the "Fesselmeyer" shout where the second 
or third "MacIntire" shout should be.

And so that is why we shout Fesselmeyer in the Calontir 
Version.

That, you will not find in any of the online versions or 
histories that I know of.
