Raise a glass to Anno Domini 1665, the "Year 100,000 Died" in London of the Bubonic Plague.

In that light, Rodent's reapperence is somewhat sinister. . .

Crypto, what was with the toast to the plague year--you have something against Londoners?

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 3:45 pm

No, actually. I just have this association of significant numbers and in the teens that's gonna be 2nd millienium dates. I was a morbid little 13 year old who read all about the plague. Chock full of unwholesome stuff like people trying to beat their own brains out and molesting plague corpses.

Note: I didn't come by this all on my lonesome. My mother had taken me to Eyam when I was 8 or 9.

yipes. not only did they have to deal with the plague, but it was a lead mining town as well. Reminds me of a village in Ireland on the River Shannon I visited when I was about that age that was filled with dwarves. Right fucked with the child's mind, that did.

Ach. Me Bass is dry. Must go rustle 'round the ice box.

so true,
everyone knows it's best to get em right before they expire. That way they are still warm but too weak to complain everly much.

Oh Rian. Is this what you were looking for?

I gotta go soon. i was hoping to be able to raise a glass to the fire as well--1666 and almost no one died. Plus they blamed "the Papists." That's pretty wholesome. So salute me when you get tehre.

Fishy, read Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle (Trilogy)... it deals with those years, Sir Isaac Newton, Boyle, Hooke, etc. Great book...

1 part irish cream (add slowly, and last)

serve in a wine glass

I've never heard of it, but I don't drink much other then beer. But if those are the ingrediaents we can "make it" for you!
