    This isn't quite the Tea Party I had hoped for. If it'll speed things along, I'll open it up to extra-textual connections, eg. "Jangly Johnny Depp" (played the Mad Hatter). Though I can think of a bette one for "J"...

    I’m afraid my familiarity with Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, whether books or movies, is far too slight to be of much use here. Perhaps I’m not the only one?

    Perhaps. Someone can pronounce a new topic, if they'd like.

    Oh, I’d say see this one through. I’m sure others on the Ship are more capable of handling the topic than I.

    There are no Carroll characters beginning with X, Y, or Z.

    Sorry.

    Oh, and as implied in the original rules, you can go extra-textual if stuck. I could do "Y" right now, if it were my turn.

    This actually fits the story...

    You really are going for the challenging ones, aren’t you? :lol:

  • stetsonstetson Shipmate
    "Gnostic Angelogy" was a joke, to suggest someone else start an easier topic. I'll take a break while everyone else decides how to proceed. FWIW, I don't think Beelzebub is gnostic, though he's probably an angel.

    I can't speak for anyone else, and I am a piglet of very little brain, but the only angels I've heard of with names are Gabriel, Michael and Raphael.

    @stetson, would you care to enlighten us as to the other 23, assuming you have a full alphabet at your disposal? 🤔

    Maybe saints would be a bit less esoteric?

    Again, I was actually NOT suggesting gnostic angels as a topic; it was an invitation for someone else to suggest one(see the brackets in my post), partly because I had started the previous round.

    But yeah. "Saints" would be cool, and very Ship-friendly. Though let's start over from A, because Astaphaios is not, as far as I know, a saint.

    And Uriel (who makes an appearance in Haydn’s Die Schöpfung/The Creation.)

    Being from a low, low nonconformist background my experience is of 'all the saints', rather than the higher echelons of capitalized Sainthood. However, even I have heard of a few of them, so I offer
