An assortment so diverse and radically-eccentric that one actually risks a seizure from trying to take it all in.
From what I've heard, Woodstock was an epiclectic mix of counterculture and entertainment such as had never been seen before nor has ever been seen since... zheeesh, I wish I could have been there to experience it for myself!

Get the epiclectic mixmug. A late-18th-century "double life" dude who pretended to be just a faceless British aristocrat, but in reality would secretly go around treating people's illnesses with herbal remedies, rather than the mainstream "drugs and surgery" methods.
Baroness Orczy always looked quite good, so perhaps she herself was treated by The Scarlet Pimpinel; maybe she even wrote the book about him as a gratitude gesture for his helping to keep her in good health.

Get the The Scarlet Pimpinelmug. For years I had an elderly neighbor named Phyllis who was a real "political rebel" with lots of determination to assist others, so perhaps she was a descendant of the Phyllistines.

Get the Phyllistinesmug. The grimly-humorous phrase that you wheezingly/gruntingly utter in reply to a concerned-for-your-welfare companion/assistant/bystander after your having let out assorted screams and groans from acute joint/muscle-pain while performing arduous/awkward tasks, and he asks a bit anxiously if you're okay.
Dude #1, groaningly straightening back up with a heaped tray of assorted dusty debris after having been hunkered down behind a tools-cabinet to clean out the small confined area behind it: OW-OW-OW-OW-AAAAAHHHHHHHH-OWWWWWWW!!!
Dude #2, reaching over the cabinet to take the tray from him and empty it in a nearby dumpster: Jeez-Louise --- you okay, Man???
Dude #1, still wincing in pain and trying to catch his breath again: Yeah, I'll live --- just barely. Stupid fibromyalgia and Arthur Itis!

Get the Yeah, I'll livemug. Da disgusting watery cereal-slurry dat yer mommy and daddy made you gag down every morning, claiming dat various "big 'n' tall" individuals whom you were acquainted wif (i.e., family members, townspeople, historical/political/entertainment celebrities, etc.) progressively developed said powerful/lofty statures from "eatin' their Wheaties" or "cleaning their plate like a good boy".
Parents may say dat "grewel" is healthy for you, but --- besides its having questionable nutritional/body-building value --- being made to eat it can actually have da opposite of da desired effect in da long run, in dat you may become so sick of it dat you will totally avoid both it and other "yucky" health foods once you get out on your own, and instead subsist on an outrageous "chips 'n' fries"diet dat will only make you grown bigger AROUND, not UP!

Get the grewelmug. Jed is such a cocoanut that he actually looks forward to an extra-chilly winter, since colder weather prompts more people to offer visitors a steaming cup of da sweet brown "muddy stuff".

Get the cocoanutmug. The greatest bunch of hokey ever conceived as a supposedly acceptable/adequate alternative to monetary payment or actual physical labor to recompense someone for goods/services that he's provided. Even if it was agreed beforehand that the person's assistance would be performed at no cost, too many moochers take advantage of this practice by knowingly/grossly underestimating the amount of time/effort/resources that would actually be required to perform the task, and so the prospective provider is deceived into thinking that the requested task is far less arduous/involved than is turns out to be; he would likely never have agreed to provide his services for free if he'd known the true size/scope of the requested task.
Disgruntled teenager: That skinflint connivin' ol' fart Mr. Jones snookered my buddies and me into "just loading a discarded pile of lightweight foam insulation into the dumpster" for him… not only did he neglect to mention that said insulation was GLUED ONTO PANELS OF SHEETROCK which made them about ten times as heavy, but then afterwards he just gave us VERBAL compensation ---"Great job, fellas... appreciate it! Thanks! I'm really grateful for your volunteering to help out an old weak-muscled geezer like me!" --- instead of slipping us each a ten-spot, the way any decent person would do!
