    Well, it all started when we filled-up that really cool kantharos ...

    Yah, after downing several of those kanthros thingies, my two buddies and I figured that we were all that => so it was time to take our show on the road and head on into town ...

    ... however, it started getting a bit weird when my buddies decided to milk that wolf (looking-back, that was a very bad idea)

    Obviously, I saw that things were going poorly, so I decided to hop-on my trusty dolphin and ride back into town ...

    Yah, I vaguely remember flashing that snake thingy ... but then things got pretty foggy

    ... sadly, as per usual => my wife ended-up being phoned and had to drag me home (luckily, she has huge hands and can carry three times her own body-weight)

    Carthago Does this look infected to you?

    Congrats on the new acquisition, Mikey. It's a great type!

    Here's mine with, I believe, the same obverse die as Volodya's.
