Mood: amused

snape and cho sunburned in hungary. too funny.

edit: And like an instrument that flings its music on another's strings. in the middle of the very last verse. sounds like his goal.

edit: "Isten hozott! Radomér Lupényi 998 AD": welcome! radomer lupenyi, thank you jeni.

edit again: map.

yo: I must attempt to get some rest without actually allowing my skin to touch the linens. This will require some concentration. ROFL!

the thingy lupin has italicized is the same poem snape used in his subject, only paraphrased.

Title of Snape's post is in the last paragraph.

I agree.

I love Snape's posts. I do hope that sunburn clears up fast; for someone with his skin-tones, the sun is never your friend.

I'd always assumed you were French, and therefore completely useless.
I see the vicious English-French rivalry is still alive and well in Professor Severus Snape. I look forward to reading Remus's response.

Ah-ha. That explains the (thank you) then:

"Isten hozott" is welcome or well met. In Hungarian. I ♥ Snape's player.

I'm so impressed with Snape's player, and the attention to detail that goes into the posts.


For the record, palacsinta rocks! :)

We need a tracking map. Like one of those storm-trackers that the weather channel uses, except it would be a Snape-tracker.

i will have it done in under an hour if anyone can tell me where the hell tahiti is. and the exact location of vatican city.

babytyggeryss @ July 24 2003, 22:32:05 UTC

Are you planning on posting your creation? I hope you are. I want to see if there is any sort of pattern to Snape's travels; the man isn't one for meandering around.

Click on the orange-colored Tahiti. It's in what is called French Polynesia. Hope this helps.

babytyggeryss @ July 24 2003, 22:37:31 UTC

This map was the best one I could find. The islands are so small you always have to go to a different page to see them.

(parent)

vellum @ July 24 2003, 22:50:28 UTC

thank you, it does, but it does seem like he's just meandering for dumbledore. there's no pattern.

(parent)

babytyggeryss @ July 24 2003, 22:58:13 UTC

I'm glad it helped.

No pattern? Okay. I thought that maybe a clue or something could have been found if one looked at all the places he's been when on a large-scale (like a map of the world.). This is NA, anything can happen.

Vatican City is north of Rome, on the western coast of Italy.

Tahiti is part of French Polynesia, in the Pacific Ocean, west of Peru, in the Tropic of Capricorn.

The CIA world factbook has some nice maps, of things like Europe. My question is this: where did Snape get the Ark? Can we just pretend it's where Indy got it? Where did Indy get it?

(parent)

notapipe @ July 24 2003, 23:16:36 UTC

Er, I guess I should research, huhn? the Ark would be in etheopia. I beleive in africa he was in Alexandria when he wrote. Which is actually up and to the west of the delta

(parent)

babytyggeryss @ July 24 2003, 23:24:43 UTC

Wasn't Indy in Alexandria at one time? I haven't seen the movies in a while but something is ringing a bell.

GREAT JOB on the map!

I am so in love with Snape right now. I haven't heard "pálinka" (whiskey, pronounced pah-leen-kuh) or "palacsinta" (crepes, pronounced puh-la-cheen-tuh -NOT placenta! ) in years.

Sweet, informative map. Here's my less informative, Family Circus Style map. Art stolen from comics: palm tree = Far Side. Cho = slightly modded Megatokyo. Snape and Dumbledore = Sluggy Freelance. Map from somewhere on the net, I drew the l33t boat and pyramids and ark myself though.

I like the snape drawing.

And here I thought you were lazy.

It's a manip of a panel from a strip from the Sluggy Freelance HP parody. Sluggy = soo good.

saphywaphy @ July 25 2003, 00:38:52 UTC

Random thing that probably has little-to-no-relevance:

The first letters of the locations spells out E-V-E-R-Y-T-H (Egypt, Vatican City, Ethiopia, Russia, Yemen, Tahiti, Hungary)

So far, of course - he still has places to go. *shrug*

but why would snape be spelling out "everything"?

unravels @ July 25 2003, 12:25:11 UTC

Maybe there's more to the message than "everything" - I wonder if this trip is going to last all summer? Though Cho said she thought she'd be home soon, didn't she? *ponders*

qwyneth @ July 25 2003, 05:47:32 UTC

Dude. You are brilliant. ::stares in awe:: Now we just have to figure out why "Everything."

Snape's player, I LOVE you. What did we do to deserve you???? ::sniffles:: ::fangirls madly:: NICE with the Sirius rising thing--I am completely in awe of your literature skills. Oh, and tell Snape that he can find anything off the internet. Maybe he can snitch some moolah off his sister. :p

::tilts head:: You know, if you look at it, the family circus map looks like a phoenix. Or a terydactl.
