But since I suspected enough trickiness on your part that I got a couple of supposedly easy ones wrong anyway, I won't push the point. Of course I know this "oh, I'm not being tricky" business is just a trick - trying to get us to let our guards down so you can thwart us next time.Nichimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359298496725231902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-424626438276621272009-05-29T06:01:36.776-07:002009-05-29T06:01:36.776-07:00Guess I'll trust you next time ...Guess I'll trust you next time ...Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12772824060632731065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-76222757519564124622009-05-28T23:20:01.176-07:002009-05-28T23:20:01.176-07:00Elizabeth and Eversaved looked good with 10/12, bu...<B>Elizabeth and Eversaved looked good with 10/12, but it turned out you needed to get 11/12 to go home with any swag today.<br /><br />First across the finish line was la gringissima, who takes the TQLXXXIV Gold Star!

But nobody trusts me...<br /><br />3. Alerick -- NO. Aleric, no K usually, was King of the Visigoths and responsible for one of those good old fashioned sacks of Rome. Interestingly, this was my father's choice for my own name.<br /><br />4. Amaterasu -- YES. And having learned this, I now know one thing about Shinto.<br /><br />5. Anubis -- NO. I switched places with him and Ares.<br /><br />6. Aphrodite -- ABSOLUTELY.<br /><br />7. Apollo, the Roman -- YES.<br /><br />8. Apollo, the Greek -- ALSO YES. I'd never noticed that before.<br /><br />9. Ares -- NO. I switched places with him and Anubis.<br /><br />10. Astarte -- YEP.<br /><br />11. Aten -- YEP.<br /><br />12. Axelqlatl -- NOPE. Just a name I made up hoping it would look Aztec. I don't think the Aztecs were big on mercy in their religious life.<br /><br /></B>Michael5000https://www.blogger.com/profile/10148584819327475239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10779294.post-58784716867210407542009-05-28T19:07:18.421-07:002009-05-28T19:07:18.421-07:001.
