For the first time in years, I found one of White Raven’s hidden webpages, but I was half-asleep and didn’t save it…
Maybe it was just a dream! I remember it was some sort of dialogue between two characters
Browsing history?
Oh, so it was real. Enter “marienbad” in the URL. (Maybe this is already known to be linked somewhere, though.)
Not to my knowledge! Good work.
“For the first time in years…” what others have you found?
Can’t quite remember, but try entering “pages” in the URL too
Merry Christmas, everybody! Can we all come up with one more bad idea before the end of the year?
Achelous is associated with both a horn and a pitcher.
And a bull!
For my suitor was a river-god, Achelous, who in three shapes was always asking me from my father—coming now as a bull in visible form, now as a serpent, sheeny and coiled, now ox-faced with human trunk, while from his thick-shaded beard wellheads of fountain-water sprayed. In the expectation that such a suitor would get me, I was always praying in my misery that I might die, before I should ever approach that marriage-bed. But at last, to my joy, the glorious son of Zeus and Alcmena came and closed with him in combat and delivered me.

Well, I was thinking specifically of 33′s pitcher and horn, and the -on ending.
My fault, everybody. I should have asked whether we could EACH come up with a bad idea by the end of the year.
Also, “Achelous” doesn’t end with “-on.” I was thinking of Acheron, who I was reading about for some reason. I can’t even remember who Achelous is. Or Acheron.
Acheron is the river at the entrance of the underworld and Achelous is a different river, with the god Achelous being the personification of it. Achelous is related to horns and pitchers indeed (his fight with Herc/Heracles where his horn got torn off, poor guy…) but I can’t think of how Acheron would relate to 33. Though the lighting is pretty hellish
I wasn’t actually so incurious that I didn’t look “Acheron” up, but I thought it was appropriate to leave my mistake up, and receive the shame it merited.
I guess I did it more for the sake of just having the definitions of both up to think about, I don’t know… I should never doubt if you’ll validly verify veracity Vince!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I can’t believe INTO THE ABYSS is 8 years old, and MAZECAST is 7 years old. Time flies when you’re having fun.
time sucks, screw time
something something room 13…
Genuinely though that is so impressive! I really admire the dedication!
