Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 282. Deixistential Angst could be When Depeche Mode Questions Everything- Depeche Mode is an electronic band that released the albums A Question of Time and A Question of Lust, so all that questioning must lead to some existential angst ==> depeche existential ==> depechistental ==> deistential angst. QED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 JEWELS 254 - YES (+2) - partial credit. The Freud reference is to his admirably cynical book "Civilization and Its Discontents" -- and Freud follows because the PDN preceding this one was Ambivilization.

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 DANTIUS 282 - no - also, the two albums you mentioned are actually songs on a single album, and it is not the album that is really relevant here, although you did your homework! - also, 282 isn't even on the list anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 All right, for 248. a pentacle can also be a symbol of protection in some religions... I would still say it is at least for preparing one self for the end of the world or at least trials of the world in whatever manner you practice belief in.

Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 A pentacle is made out of parchment, paper, or metal. Crepe is a kind of paper. to quote some book thing on wikipedia: "earth contains all both in admixture and in combination. So must it be with this Pantacle, the symbol of earth." So a pentacle would be earthy protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 JEWELS AND SYLAE OK (+1 EACH) A preparation is another word for a food item, and the simplest path from pentacle to earthy is that pentacles were the symbol for the element of earth in Tarot cards.

Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 280. Psychosnow Emanation might be Jinx, or maybe Mallow- both of which are characters in Super Mario RPG who are made of sort of white fluffballs- like snow. One of them, Mallow, possesses a spell called Psychopath that lets you see opponent's HP counts, and occasionally their thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 245. THIS!!!!???!!! - I did not FTT, I recorded its beauty Those question marks are supposed to be there. They make it look better. 280. Psychosnow Emanation - Jinx, or maybe Mallow Jinx and psycho snowman are both comics/comic book characters in some respect. Though Mallow seems to be a Mario character of some sort. Dantius got it first. 284. Phleg-o-matic - Humorous victim Obviously I'm the victim here and I'm sure you're laughing at my expense Slarty.

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 245. THIS!!!!???!!! - I did not FTT, I recorded its beauty. I guessing the PDN is something someone else said on the forum (a troll?), and you "recorded its beauty" by copying and pasting it as your PDN (and into this game).

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 JEWELS 258 - YES (+3) 245 - YES (+3) 284 - yes but bad reference DANTIUS 280 - YES (+4) - actually I meant Jynx from Pokemon (Ice/Psychic type), but mistyped. Anyway, you got the Mallow reference. TRIUMPH 245 - OK (+3) Points up in the air for 284. Can anyone explain it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dintiradan Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Oh, right. Phelgm is a bodily humor, along with the two biles and blood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Phlegm is one of the four bodily "humors" along with blood, black bile, yellow bile, and, well, phlegm. In classical medicine illnesses were caused by an imbalance in there, which would need to be corrected to cure the patient- like via leeching! I can't believe I didn't get that one before.

Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Slarty, just curious, but whose explanation (if any?) of 245 was correct, mine or Jewels'? If neither...why did you give points and what was the referent of the emphatic "THIS"? No idea on 284. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 How about this quote? "The Robco Phleg-O-Matic is the one software application you'll wonder how you ever did without! It wines, it dines, and so much more! The Phleg-O-Matic's especially sharp tongue will allow you to cut through sarcasm with one stroke! Perfect slices of humor every time! And in just one stroke! Black Bile! Yellow Bile! Phlegm! and Blood! and so much more effluvium! Bite off more than you can chew without crying, and bring new life to parties, class reunions, and family get-togethers in no time. The Robco Phleg-O-Matic is now available wherever the fine stuff you can't do without is sold. I ♥ Ron Popeil!"

Hatchling Cockatrice Slawbug Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Jewels, I think it's actually somewhat common knowledge. It ties in to medical history, mysticism and symbolism due to its associations with the four classical elements, and personality due to the temperamental English words sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic, and melancholic.

Well-Actually War Trall Balladeer Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Well, I've had plenty of experience with the personality types but perhaps I have never delved into the study of mysticism to see the connection.
