[EPT Henry]

@EPT Henry .... Not Everyone Gets To Be Apollo .... a tale of the frustrations even the gods/goddesses feel at fickle luck.

(I assume you did not mean and did not know of the common urban translation of puta.)

Urban Dictionary: puta

Ha I did not know! She's a genuine Roman god. I wonder where the link came from if they are connected?!

Puta (mythology) - Wikipedia

 

[Mr Orange]

I don't think there's a link @EPT Henry , i think the literal translation of puta from Spanish is the other form of "female dog" which, as in English, has been turned into a derogatory term

 

[CTRandall]

Yep, it's Spanish and well-known in much of the US (even among English-only speakers) so you might want to be careful how you use it beyond the Chronicles.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

EPT Henry -- Even gods need good fortune.

Abernovo -- Even gods need justice.

 

[Parson]

@Abernovo .... Boundaries and Jurisdictions .... when you are meeting out justice everything has to be done by regulations and the book.

 

[Abernovo]

Thank you, Victoria, and Parson, for the reviews.

Agreed. I'll keep it in here because all 3 God's are true to mythology but I shan't be using it elsewhere. I'm from the UK and genuinely never come across it.

I've also just realised that you can't edit or delete posts on here? For the sake of not offending anyone I had changed my mind and was going to alter her name but I can't anyway!

Ah well, it's historically accurate and unoffensive if you are a Roman. Hopefully people won't mind...

I don't think it's necessary to edit or delete the post. But it can be done with the help of a Moderator. Brian, Nixie, The Judge, are some of the more active of them.

We have a winner, everyone can go home now.

 

[Cathbad]

We have a winner, everyone can go home now.

Who - Brian, or his wife Brian?

 

[Parson]

Actually I'm the winner, and Cathbad you're the first loser.

 

[Cathbad]

YES!!!

 

[Cat's Cradle]

That's a very good one, @Hugh! I laughed at the conclusion...and also felt very sad for the folks in that line of work.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Hugh -- Even gods need good nutrition.

 

[Hugh]

Many thanks indeed @Cat's Cradle. It's great to hear the story tickled someone else beside myself.

And a wonderful review @Victoria Silverwolf . I was wondering how it'd get reviewed.

 

[paranoid marvin]

Well I'm posted. And I haven't been struck by lightning yet, so the big Z must not be displeased!

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

paranoid marvin -- Even gods need romance.
