Prompt Post

Morning!

Well, as tempted as I was to just make the prompt "wake up" or something that worked with my WIP, I spun the randomizer, stared at it, cursed, and then accepted that the universe hates me.

Argos
I really was on crack when I plugged words into that thing.

Argos? That catalogue shop?

Oh, its also that ship Jason sailed in with the argonaughts or whatever they were called. And an ancient city, and a constellation... and a satallite.

Its usable, but yeah, you must of been out of it when you put this in there. XP

Well, shit. *g*

From wikipedia:
  1. Argos is a city in Greece in the Peloponnese near Nafplio, which was its historic harbor, named for Nauplius.

  2. The name is pre-Greek ("Pelasgian"), as is the name of its acropolis, Larissa[citation needed]. Aitiology derives it from a mythological founder, Argos son of Zeus and Niobe (see also Danaus).


Here's the link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argos) for the article.

Argo was the ship Jason sailed. I am so screwed with this. *wanders off to ponder and wrangle with the muse*

You know, my first thought was "Oh, for God's sake..."--but I seem to do better with the weird ones, so...we'll see what the muse comes up with, eh?

It's also the nickname for the Toronto Argonauts, a Canadian Football league team.

Just throwing more quirky trivia into the mix.

Well, I guess this is slightly better than Hopi. I'll have to find out what it means.

*cries*

I was really hoping for something easy this week since I only have until Wednessday to come up with something...

Hmmh, maybe I could make the boys continue their honeymoon trip. There is a show hall here in Helsinki which is called Argos...Just have to come up with a reason for the boys to visit this remote country...

Argos is also the name of a hundred-eyed giant in Greek Mythology.

I could explain the whole story, but there's a wonderfully brief version here (http://www.theoi.com/Gigante/GiganteArgosPanoptes.html).

Now... can I work peacocks into any of my series'?
