Huh - that's what I was thinking but for the life of me I can't remember a woman on fire in that movie.

It's a reference to the Swedish legend of the woman who inspired the wreaths with candles...

Who should I tell?

The links for the history and the map in Sange Sacre are dead.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Er, the map was on a verrrrrrry old webpage of mine, which I've since abandoned. I'll see if I have a copy of the map on my computer anymore, but I haven't been in Sang Sacre in over a year.

[edit -- nope, I don't seem to have it anymore. Sorry.]

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

So the map is lost? Ack!

Well, I have Photoshop now. If we still have the posts describing it, maybe we can make a new one?

edited to say: On second thought, this could be kind of an awesome opportunity. We could do a really in-depth map, and if people are willing to find pictures of the kind of buildings that belong in Sang, maybe even a virtual tour. I think it'd be a fun project, thoguh I lack the web design smarts for some of it.

The posts where we defined the Main Artery (did we call it The Aorta or something?) and the neighborhoods were on WX, weren't they?

Thanks for all the fish.

Actually, a lot of the posts are not even in the first Sang Sacre thread on WX. They are in one of the Previously threads.

(connie - I think it was just called the Artery, or R for short)

Literary 2: To read makes our speaking English good

I was reading a transcript of I Robot You Jane and if we used "We're Literary" instead of just Literary we'd get Buffy's part of the line before Xander's "To Read..."

So it would be:
