What money? Don't they know anything about barter economy?

Ooh, first post with a new face.

I think the ouroboros around the Eye of Sauron makes for an appropriate "One Ring to rule them all."

I had read somewhere that Mephistopheles's personality in the tragic play Faust, considered to be Goethe's magnum opus and the greatest work of German literature, (also an inspiration for Strahd Von Zarovich's faustian story) was based on himself... thus this found image of my digital world FoS avatar ring, showing Johann Wolfgang von Goethe making devil horns with his hands.

The quote below (in my signature) is by Mephistopheles described in Goethe's work as a cultivated, witty, and cynical exponent of materialism and nihilism, who preaches a sophisticated doctrine of philosophical negation. Mephisto's most outstanding characteristic is skepticism; the inability to believe in anything.

Devil horns? I thought Goethe was doing the Caramelldansen for some reason. ;)
Someone sent me a postcard picture of the earth. On the back they had written, "Wish you were here."

I need to erase these images from my brain.

Or watch it again.
