Hm, I'm pretty sure there was a golden goatskin involved somewhere...

**Mari** · 09-10-2010, 05:01 PM

Isn't that a story by Thea Beckman? Het Gulden Vlies. Good book.

The last sane person · 09-10-2010, 05:51 PM

I think... yeah, that was like at least 4 different myths jumbled together. Not that most would know the difference.

Or 4 different mythical characters and even more myths.

Or if they would, they're not telling us.

I'm counting six references to major myths in Tessar's post at first glance, plus the odd one out. But then again Greek mythology is a lot more accesible and generally known than most other mythologies so I wouldn't be surprised if more people than one would expect, could place these references.

Thea Beckman, now there's a blast from the past. Bless. Anyone from our generation ought to have read at least one of her books, if not more, and they weren't thin either. Good memories.

***Tessar*** · 09-11-2010, 11:03 AM

I think I intentionally took from five myths, and then the last one is a Gladiator reference.

*raises a glass*

Gwaimir Windgem · 09-11-2010, 11:00 PM

And to the victims, of death, of loss, and of hatred. *raises glass*

Acalewia · 09-12-2010, 02:23 PM

I'll drink to that

-raises glass-

I relived some memories of 9/11 last night. Still saddens me for al the lives lost and the families who still don't know what happened to their loved ones

***Jonathan*** · 09-12-2010, 02:31 PM

*Raises glass*

From one thing to another - nice avvy Acalewia! It must be pretty new, right?

katya · 09-12-2010, 02:40 PM

I made muffins!

I made 5 different kinds all at once! There's orange, apple cinnamon, and raspberry jam, fruit juice, and festive spices. Also leftover cupcakes from last night. Feel free to share!

I'm actually having a lot of fun cooking and baking lately. Yay!

Gwaimir Windgem · 09-12-2010, 02:55 PM

Not sure exactly what happeneed; maybe too much milk.
