I know. That did sound genuine didn't it :) I'm practising for an event.
*cast spell*
aegioops (the original jumble) has one correct. Interestingly, it's the only time this letter has been correct... so well done me
These three:
POUSAGEI
GOOSEAPI
GOOIESAP
all have the same single, correct letter - once
So do these two:
GOASOPIE
SPAGOOIE
but a different letter to up there, except the second one also has a second letter correct that is the same as the one correct letter in this one:
OPEASGOI.
Which reminds me... that Ode to Peas was nice. We should have more odes lying about the place I reckon
Here...
PSIAGEOO has one correct, that is also one of the three correct
here --> OASOGPIE
as does this one --> OESOPAGI - but with a different letter that with the letter beside it above - makes two of the three that I spoke of where it says up there: "here"
And the one in the middle... that shares it's third correct letter with the second group I made near the top
And I don't think it's possible to make it any clearer than that.
:)
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
We should have more odes lying about the place I reckon
You are channeling The Bard this week. It just so happens - another issue with Henry V drafting - this time the St Crispen's Day Speech :
[pre]final : He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian.'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars, [/pre]
[pre]draft : He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'O Sea Pig O'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars, [/pre]
Scansion again. This triggered a crisis amongst his closest friends who then led Will to Northumberland for a prolonged stay in a remote monastery ( possibly Lindisfarne ). This was to serve "the banishment of his lust for the Glistering Jewels of Methyle".
What a genuine coincidence .... :-)
Cheers, Mike.
I have made this letter longer than usual because I lack the time to make it shorter ...
... and my other CPU is a Ryzen 5950X :-) Blaise Pascal
Yes :) and another genuine conincidence is still to come
*peruse logoleptics* although I'm not sure how you're all going to take it...
in the meantime!
'O Sea Pig O' is very good Mike. I like it a lot :) It has one right - but that doesn't make it fit into any of the categories below. Except maybe the jumbled word itself one. Yes... that one. But not because it has the same correct letter that one has but because this correct letter is not only also the first time you got this letter correct, it's also... a vowel
That helped, I'm sure of it.

Erm... this is where you might need one of those hmm's I discussed at seti, David. *wave hand about airily* It seems I was partly deranged when I wrote what I wrote... specifically with regards POUSAGEI. It's actually a zero correct word.
To make up for my blunder, I will now say sorry.
There :)
On reflection I will now add that you did embolden the correct letter of the alphabet, but it was the one in the wrong position.
Okay?

More embedded prose from the Bard, Romeo & Juliet this time ( the 'But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?' scene ) :
[pre]final : What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars
As daylight doth a lamp. Her eye in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright[/pre]
[pre]draft : What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame A Go Posie
As daylight doth a lamp. Her eye in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright[/pre]
Contemporary note : a "Go Posie" is a form of stylised chivalrous token indicating that yes, after a long period of flirting, we are good to go for you know what eg. I have a Go Posie 'on' for Saturday nite.
In this it is unclear as to why it did not make the final version. It was certainly apt for the plot, scanned pretty well and in the opinion of some had superior content ( Rotten Tomatoes have listed R&J as the original chick flick ). In 1952 the US Strategic Air Command did adopt 'Go Posie' as the signal for all out nuclear war. This only lasted until Stalin's death, because they found out that Khrushchev was a student of Shakespeare and it then reverted to 'Go Code'.
Cheers, Mike.

Well I heard that - whilst the royal mirrors were being re-silvered, or whatever it was they did to them in those days, there was an excessive-plastering incident involving Posie Mountfort - niece to the third Duke of Worcester Sauce or something, who was Lizzie the Onest's lady-in-waiting-for-rouge. It probably wouldn't have had any repercussions at all, except the mirrors were returned later that day and then promptly shattered when Her Royal Highdeousness went to admire herself in them and found there was nothing to admire at all. I have days like that :) Anyway, where was I? Oh yes. When the news reached the Bard that Lady Mountfort had been demoted ... to a-head-mounted-on-a-stick, it was just as the curtain was about to go up on the play's first night. Panic-stricken, "The brightness of her cheek would shame A Go Posie" might be seen as a critique, it was hastily changed to what we are now accustomed to reading today. As far as I know, Will, being as fond of his head where it was as he was, was all for changing not just Posie to star, but cheek to nose, but apparently his Juliet refused to go on stage if his nose was brought into the script, so cheek had to stand and in an effort to ward off her maj's getting the wrong end of the stick (and "shovting ists pointiness wherest thou wouldst want ist knotte") Shakespeare started a rumour that the play was written by someone else... Bacon I think.

That must be where that contemporary meaning... "stylised chivalrous token" is derived from then. Huh... it's amazing what can be learned on the internet isn't it!? :)
