A Ramble through Smilie Land

The chocholate is in my jacket pocket-- no, really. I have a cherry Hershey's Kiss in my pocket. You want it?

By the way, are you coming to the subterraenean library party?

You liked the Logos Bond analysis? Well, I'm full of such analyses. Let's see what we can deduce about Nightshade. (1) We know Nightie is originally from Egypt. (2) We know that Nightie is a librarian and that Egypt had the great Alexadria library in ancient times. (3) We know that Nightie is the lady of smiles. (4) And all smiling people are confident, attractive, and power hungry.

So, from Egypt, librarian, smiles, and confident, attractive and powerful.

Therefore Nightie is a descendant of Cleopatra.

Ooh! Ooh!! Do me next, Virgil!!

Ok, I've got my analysis hat back on. Let's see abot Anza. (1) We know that Anza knows Latin very well and her Roman history. (2) We know that Anza fantasizes about killing gladiators. (3) We know that Anza is a very take charge person. (4) We know that Anza is very highfalutin in her oratory.

So, Latin, killing gladiators, takes charge, and highfalutin. One can only think of one thing:

Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears:
I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Caesar.

Therefore Anza is Marc Antony.

And you and Nightie (Cleopatra) need to meet up.

For the record, Nightie... IT'S HIS FAULT!!!!!

Glad to have been of help but a phone number for Logos still eludes my grasp. Virgil you have a new calling. You should start an analysis thread or separate blog series on Litnetters.

you are all crazy!

Niamh I concur, Rick I think you might have to give up on ever getting Logos' number.
Virgil actually in spite of popular belief to the contarry Cleopatra was Greek, last pharoh of egypt yes but a Tholomite and therefore Greek but I wouldnt put it past my family to have had a bit of the Greeks mixed up in us somewhere.


Mind she may not even have been greek- Id have to look Tholomoes upp but he may very well have been Macedonian like his King.

And cleopatrat in part led to the first burning of the library of Alexandria ( i thinks) but since she is rather well thought of Ill take it as a compliment so thanks Virg

yahahahaha! that's brilliant!

All I have to say is >> !!

She was hellenistic. Her father was ptolemy XII

yes Ptolemy the Ptolemites descended from one of the 2 inheritors (??) of Alexander the Great.
Who sadly died at a young age not soon after being named pharoh and god in egypty. Intrestingly it was the Ptolomites that started the tradtion of sibling marriages within the royal family, one theory is that they misunderstood and mistook several important aspects of the egyptian religion and culture and in following the tradition Alexander set out of integrating yourself in the outcries culture until you appeared to always have been there they got a wee bit enthusiastic and started the whole sisters marrying brothers so that the pharoh would be god and king.

Details, details. I'm glad you enjoyed that. Yeah Rich it would make for a good thread, but I'm not sure I could keep that up.
