Skeleton Trivia for Wednesday, 2025-01-22
If you thought “The Cask of Amontillado” was dark, wait till you read “The Cask of Oloroso”
Hiya Skeleton Crew,
Do youse guys remember a couple months back when I asked that question about my ex, the Egyptian goddess Bast? Maybe ya don’t, it was a while ago. But basically the story is I had a li’l poll in one a’ my emails askin’ if I should message her on Instagram ... ’n’ youse guys said go for it! So after a li’l procrastinatin’, I did!!
Well she finally got back to me—’n’ as it just so happens, it sounds like she’ll be in town next week! Pretty crazy, right??? So it, uh, sounds like maybe we’re gonna meet up for a coffee or somethin’. Which, I dunno, it’s kinda nifty!
Anyways, it’s no big deal, just a li’l friendly meet-up. But I figured I’d tie up that li’l hangin’ thread in case anyone was wonderin’ if anythin’ ever came a’ that.
