Um... 'belatucadrus' ... 'of armies at war'? Or something like that?
Cool Cocidius neep. I'd never heard of him. But I'm not totally up on the Ancient British Gods. Which, last time I looked, had been Romanized pretty much out of all recognition, at least in the south. Though probably there's been new scholarship since the last time I looked...
I haven't had a chance to settle in and puruse your new icons. I'll totally hit your LJ and do that, and I'll be sure to let you know which ones make me squee!
He's a maverick guitar-strumming gentleman spy looking for a cure to the poison coursing through his veins. She's a man-hating mutant socialite from out of town. They fight crime!
He's an ungodly gay paranormal investigator haunted by an iconic dead American confidante She's a supernatural mutant fairy princess who inherited a spooky stately manor from her late maiden aunt. They fight crime!
He's an immortal alcoholic matador whom everyone believes is mad. She's a high-kicking wisecracking magician's assistant living homeless in New York's sewers. They fight crime!
Oh, man! I thought the original rain-street site was closed. OMG. That was totally the very first TFC! site! Woooooo! Good find! And those TFC! combos are awesome. That site is totally cracktastic, innit
( ... )
Sad, I think the site IS closed. Those were the ones I saved from when I did it, because I liked them so much.
And I totally WOULD do a challenge based on them! That would be very fun.
Frogs? Really? They're so cute, though. We used to go on toad-hunts when I was little and lived there in Florida. I think our record was fifty. And the little green tree frogs? You don't like them? They're so CUTE!
But I understand the irrationality of phobias. I hate spiders. I will scream and flail run away. Once a boy in science class held a HUGE spider in a bottle right up behind my head and tapped me on the shoulder so that when I turned around I was eyeballs-to-many-eyeballs with it. I screamed, to my everlasting shame, but I think it convinced them that I was serious, since I'd never even raised my voice before.
You so rock for having save the link to that site and those quotes. I'm totally not surprised you're all over TFC! And excellent to know there's a spark of interest for a TFC! challenge. Because, yeah. That could be good times.
Fortunately, I had a dissociative fugue during the next part of whatever you might have written and came to during a story about the spider. *gives you a meaningful look* Btw, you did notice my story about the spider that was big enough to set off the mousetrap at work. Dude. I'm originally from Texas and that impressed the shit out of me. I got nothing but respect for Florida wildlife.
I, too, feel a certain amount of shame for the occasional shriek that escapes. However, I chose to sacrifice stoicism and control over my central nervous system rather than my coffee and caffeine habit. Mercifully, dignity is such a small price to pay.
