Atlas: What happened-
Taryn: Please don’t. 
Atlas: Can you talk to me?
Taryn: [ strained ] What is there to say that you don’t already know? I keep asking myself why you’re so nice to me all of a sudden. Why would someone like you be around someone like me and it’s such a… Mind-fuck. 
Atlas: I swear to you, it isn’t like that-
Taryn: Am I just a one night stand?
Atlas: [ stammers ] N-No! 
Taryn: Convincing.
Atlas: I’m sorry it wasn’t a good enough response, I’m just caught off guard. Why would you assume that?
Taryn: Because my questions made sense the minute you walked out of that building and there was lipstick smeared all over your face. Then you gave me this look, something about it made me realize I wasn’t the first and I don’t think I’d be the last.

Saint Peter of Alexandria - Feast Day: November 26th - Latin Calendar
Bishop of Alexandria from 300. A native of Alexandria, Egypt, Peter survived the persecutions of Emperor Diocletian and served as a confessor for the suffering Christians. Made head of the famed Catechetical School of Alexandria, he was a vigorous opponent of Origenism before receiving appointment as bishop. He composed a set of rules by which those who had lapsed might be readmitted to the faith after appropriate penance, a settlement which was not to the liking of extremists of the community. Thus, in 306 when the persecutions began again, Peter was forced to flee the city. The partisans of Melitius, Peter's chief critic, installed their favorite as bishop of Alexandria, thereby starting the Melitian Schism which troubled the see for many years. Peter returned to Alexandria in 311 after a lull in the persecutions, but was soon arrested and beheaded by Roman officials acting on the decree of Emperor Maximian. He is called the "seal and complement of martyrs" as he was the last Christian slain by Roman authorities. Eusebius of Caesarea described him as "a model bishop, remarkable for his virtuous life and his ardent study of the Scriptures." He is much revered by the Coptic Christians, although since 1969, his cult has been confined to local calendars in the Catholic Church.

Another Story:
St. Peter, bishop of Alexandria, was beheaded on November 25, 311, during Maximinus Daia's persecution. He was a great bishop, famous for wisdom and holiness; "a model of charity and zeal, severe towards himself, merciful to sinners, a divine model of the Christian teacher," says Eusebius.
While in prison some priests pleaded for him with Arius, whom he had condemned. The action was reported to Peter; he replied that Jesus had appeared to him that very night with a torn garment, and when he sought an explanation, the Lord answered, "Arius has torn asunder My garment which is My Church." Peter's foremost virtue was perseverance; once he had made a decision he never vacillated. He is known as "the last martyr" of the Diocletian persecution.

Anastasius the Librarian: LIFE OF ST. PETER OF ALEXANDRIA
THE GENUINE ACTS OF PETER, BISHOP OF ALEXANDRIA AND MARTYR. FROM THE LATIN VERSION BY ANASTASIUS BIBLIOTHECARIUS. [Apud Maium, Spicilegii, tom. iii. p. 671.]
Rev. Jas. B. H. Hawkins, 1879
Were all the limbs of my body to be turned into tongues, and all the joints of my limbs to utter articulate sounds, it would noways be sufficient to express who, how great and how good, was our most blessed Father Peter, Archbishop of Alexandria. Especially incongruous do I consider it to commit to paper what perils he underwent by tyrants, what conflicts he endured with Gentiles and heretics, lest I should seem to make these the subjects of my panegyric rather than that passion to which he manfully submitted to make safe the people of God. Nevertheless, because the office of the narrator must fail in narrating his inmost conversation and wonderful deeds, and language is noways sufficient for the task, I have considered it convenient to describe only those exploits of his by which he is known to have attained to the pontificate, and after Arius had been cut off from the unity of the Church, to have been crowned with the martyr's laurel. Yet this do I consider to be a glorious end, and a spectacle of a magnificent contest, sufficient for those who do not doubt of a truthful narration, which is unstained by falsehood. In commencing, therefore, our account of the episcopate of this most holy man, let us call to our aid his own language, in order that we may make it co-operate with our own style.
Alexandria is a city of exceeding magnitude, which holds the first place not only among the Egyptians, but the Thebans also and the Libyans, who are at no great distance from Egypt. A cycle of two hundred and eighty-five years from the incarnation of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ had rolled round, when the venerable Theonas, the bishop of this city, by an ethereal flight, mounted upwards to the celestial kingdoms. To him Peter, succeeding at the helm of the Church, was by all the clergy and the whole Christian community appointed bishop, the sixteenth in order from Mark the Evangelist, who was also archbishop of the city. He in truth, like the Morning Star rising among the stars, shining forth with the radiance of his sacred virtues, most magnificently governed the citadel of the faith. Inferior to none who had gone before him in his knowledge of Holy Scripture, he nobly applied himself to the advantage and instruction of the Church; being of singular prudence, and in all things perfect, a true priest and victim of God, he watchfully laboured night and day in every sacerdotal care.
But because virtue is the mark of the zealot, "it is the tops of the mountains that are struck by lightning," [Horace, Odes, ii, 10 -11]; he hence endured multifarious conflicts with rivals. Why need I say more? He lived in persecution almost the whole of his life. Meanwhile he ordained fifty-five bishops.
Meletius lastly, in mind and name most black, was made the schismatical bishop of the city of Lycopolis, doing many things against the rule of the canons, and surpassing even the bloody soldiery in cruelty who, at the time of the Lord's Passion, feared to rend His coat; he was so hurried on by giving the rein to his madness, that, rending asunder the Catholic Church not only in the cities of Egypt, but even in its villages, he ordained bishops of his own party, nor cared he ought for Peter, nor for Christ, who was in the person of Peter. To him Arius, who was yet a laic, and not marked with the clerical tonsure, adhered, and was to him and his family most dear; and not without reason: every animal, as says the Scripture, loves its like. But upon this coming to his knowledge, the man of God being affected with grief, said that this persecution was worse than the former. And although he was in hiding, yet, so far as his strength permitted, directing everywhere his exhortations, and preaching up the unity of the Church, he strengthened men to withstand the ignorance and nefarious temerity of Meletius. Whence it came to pass that not a few, being influenced by his salutary admonitions, departed from the Meletian impiety.
Nearly about the same time Arius, armed with a viper's craft, as if deserting the party of Meletius, fled for refuge to Peter, who at the request of the bishops raised him to the honours of the diaconate, being ignorant of his exceeding hypocrisy. For he was even as a snake suffused with deadly poison. Yet neither can the imposition of hands upon this false one be imputed as a crime to this holy man, as the simulated magic arts of Simon is not ascribed to Philip. Meanwhile, the detestable wickedness of the Meletians increased beyond measure; and the blessed Peter, fearing lest the plague of heresy should spread over the whole flock committed to his care, and knowing that there is no fellowship with light and darkness, and no concord betwixt Christ and Belial, by letter separated the Meletians from the communion of the Church. And because an evil disposition cannot long be concealed, upon that instant the wicked Arius, when he saw his aiders and abettors cast down from the dignity of the Church, gave way to sadness and lamentation. This did not escape the notice of this holy man. For when his hypocrisy was laid bare, immediately using the evangelical sword, "If thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee," and cutting off Arius from the body of the Church as a putrid limb, he expelled and banished him from the communion of the faithful.
This done, the storm of persecution suddenly abating, peace, although for a short time, smiled. Then this most choice priest of the Lord shone manifestly before the people, and the faithful began to run in crowds to keep the memory of the martyrs, and to assemble in congregations to the praise of Christ. Whom this priest of the divine law quickened with his holy eloquence, and so roused and strengthened that the multitude of believers increased continually in the Church. But the old enemy of salvation of man did not long remain quiet and look on these things with favouring eyes. For on a sudden the storm-cloud of paganism gave forth its hostile thunder, and like a winter shower struck against the serenity of the Church, and chased it away in flight. But that this may be understood more clearly, we must necessarily turn back to the atrocities of Diocletian, that impious one, and rebel against God, and also to Maximian Galerius, who at that time, with his son Maximin, harassed the regions of the East with his tyrannical sway.
For in the time of this man the fire of Christian persecution so raged, that not only in one region of the universe, but even throughout the whole world, both by land and by sea, the storm of impiety gave forth its thunder. The imperial edicts and most cruel decrees running hither and thither, the worshippers of Christ were put to death now openly, and now by clandestine snares; no day, no night, passed off free from the effusion of Christian blood. Nor was the type of slaughter of one kind alone; some were slain with diverse and most bitter tortures; some again, that they might want the humanity of kinsmen, and burial in their own country, were transported to other climes, and by certain new machinations of punishment, and as yet to the age unknown, were driven to the goal of martyrdom. Oh, the horrible wickedness! So great was their impiety that they even upturned from their foundations the sanctuaries of divine worship, and burned the sacred books in the fire. Diocletian of execrable memory having died, Constantinus Major was elected to administer the kingdom, and in the western parts began to hold the reins of government.
In these days, information was brought to Maximin about the aforesaid archbishop, that he was a leader and holding chief place among the Christians; and he, inflamed with his accustomed iniquity, on the instant ordered Peter to be apprehended and cast into prison. For which purpose he despatched to Alexandria five tribunes, accompanied with their bands of soldiers, who, coming thither as they had been commanded, suddenly seized the priest of Christ and committed him to the custody of a prison. Wonderful was the devotion of the faithful! When it was known that this holy man was shut up in the dungeons of the prison, an incredibly large number ran together, principally a band of monks and of virgins, and with no material arms, but with rivers of tears and the affection of pious minds, surrounded the prison's circuit. And as good sons towards a good father, nay, rather as the Christian members of a most Christian head, adhered to him with all theirs bowels of compassion, and were to him as walls, observing that no pagan might get an opportunity of access to him. One indeed was the vow of all, one their voice, and one their compassion and resolve to die rather than to see any evil happen to this holy man.
Now while the man of God was being kept for a few days in the same stocks, with his body thrust back, the tribunes made a suggestion to the king concerning him, but he, after his ferocious manner, gave his sentence for capitally punishing the most blessed patriarch. And when this got to the ears of the Christians, they all with one mind began to guard the approaches to the prison with groaning and lamentation, and persistently prevented any Gentile from obtaining access to him. And when the tribunes could by no means approach him to put him to death, they held a council, and determined that the soldiers should with drawn swords break in upon the crowd of people, and so draw him forth to behead him; and if any opposed, he should be put to death.
Arius, in the meanwhile, having as yet been endowed only with the dignity of a Levite, and fearing lest, after the death of so great a father, he should noways be able to get reconciled to the Church, came to those who held the chief place amongst the clergy, and, hypocrite that he was, by his sorrowful entreaties and plausible discourse, endeavoured to persuade the holy archbishop to extend to him his compassion, and to release him from the ban of excommunication. But what is more deceptive than a feigned heart? What more simple than a holy composure? There was no delay; those who had been requested went in to the priest of Christ, and, after the customary oration, prostrating themselves on the ground, and with groans and tears kissing his hands, implored him, saying, "Thee, indeed most blessed father, for the excellence of thy faith, the Lord hath called to receive the martyr's crown, which we noways doubt does quickly await thee. Therefore do we think it right that, with thy accustomed piety, thou shouldest pardon Arius, and extend thy indulgence to his lamentations."
Upon hearing this the man of God, moved with indignation, put them aside, and, raising his hands to heaven, exclaimed: "Do ye dare to supplicate me on behalf of Arius? Arius, both here and in the future world, will always remain banished and separate from the glory of the Son of God, Jesus Christ our Lord." He thus protesting, all who were present, being struck with terror, like men dumb, kept silence. Moreover they suspected that he, not without some divine notification, gave forth such a sentence against Arius. But when the merciful father beheld them silent and sad from compunction of heart, he would not persist in austerity, or leave them, as if in contempt, without satisfaction; but taking Achillas and Alexander, who amongst the priests appeared to be the eldest and the most holy, having one of them at his right hand, and the other on his left, he separated them a little from the rest, and at the end of his discourse said to them:
"Do not, my bretheren, take me for a man inhuman and stern; for indeed I too am living under the law of sin; but believe my words. The hidden treachery of Arius surpasses all iniquity and impiety, and not asserting this of mine own self, have I sanctioned his excommunication. For in this night, whilst I was solemnly pouring forth my prayers to God, there stood by me a boy of about twelve years, the brightness of whose face I could not endure, for this whole cell in which we stand was radient with a great light. He was clothed with a linen tunic divided into two parts, from the neck to the feet, and holding in his two hands the rents of his tunic, he applied them to his breast to hide his nakedness. At this vision I was stupefied with astonishment. And when boldness of speech was given to me, I exclaimed: Lord, who hath rent thy tunic? Then said he, Arius hath rent it, and by all means beware of receiving him into communion; behold, to-morrow they will come to entreat you for him. See, therefore, that thou be not persuaded to acquiesce: nay, rather lay thy commands upon Achillas and Alexander the priests, who after thy translation will rule my Church, not by any means to receive him. Thou shalt very quickly fulfil the lot of the martyr. Now there was no other cause of this vision. So now I have satisfied you, and I have declared unto you what I was ordered. But what you will do in consequence of this, must be your own care. Thus much concerning Arius.
"Ye know too, beloved, and ye know well, what has been the manner of my conversation amongst you, and what conflicts I have endured from the idolatrous Gentiles, who, being ignorant of the Lord and Saviour, do not cease in their madness to spread abroad the fame of a multitude of gods who are no gods. Ye know likewise how, in avoiding the rage of my persecutors, I wandered an exile from place to place. For long time I lay in hiding in Mesopotamia, and also in Syria amongst the Phoenicians; in either Palestine also I had for a long time to wander; and from thence, if I may so say, in another element, that is, in the islands I tarried no short time. Yet in the midst of all these calamities I did not cease day and night writing to the Lord's flock committed to my poor care, and confirming them in the unity of Christ. For an anxious solicitude for them constantly kept urging my heart, and suffered me not to rest; then only did I think it to be more tolerable to me when I committed them to the Power above.
"Likewise also, on account of those fortunate prelates, Phileus, I mean Hesychius and Theodorus, who of divine grace have received a worthy vocation, what great tribulation agitated my mind. For these, as ye know, for the faith of Christ were with the rest of the confessors wasted with diverse torments. And because in such a conflict they were not only of the clergy but of the laity also the standard-bearers and preceptors, I on this account greatly feared lest they should be found wanting under their long affliction, and lest their defection, which is terrible to speak of, should be to many an occasion of stumbling and of denying the faith, for there were more than six hundred and sixty confined along with them within the precincts of a dungeon. Hence, although oppressed with great labour and toil, I ceased not to write to them with reference to all those predicted passages [of Scripture], exhorting them to earn the martyr's palm with the power of divine inspiration. But when I heard of their magnificent perseverance, and the glorious end of the passion of them all, falling on the ground I adored the majesty of Christ, who had thought fit to count them amongst the throng of the martyrs.
"Why should I speak to you about Meletius of Lycopolis? What persecutions, what treachery, he directed against me, I doubt not but that ye well know. Oh, the horrible wickedness! he feared not to rend asunder the holy Church, which the Son of God redeemed with His precious blood, and to deliver which from the tyranny of the devil He hesitated not to lay down his life. This Church, as I have begun to say, the wicked Meletius rending asunder, ceased not to imprison in dungeons, and to afflict holy bishops even, who have a little before us by martyrdom penetrated to the heavens. Beware therefore of his insidious devices. For I, as ye see, go bound by divine charity, preferring above all things the will of God. I know, indeed, that under their breath the tribunes whisper of my death with eager haste; but I will not from this circumstance open any communication with them, nor will I count my life more precious than myself. Nay, rather, I am prepared to finish the course which my Lord Jesus Christ hath deigned to promise to me, and faithfully render up to Him the ministry which from Him I have received. Pray for me, my brothers; you will not see me longer living in this life with you. Wherefore I testify before God and your brotherhood, that before all of you have I preserved a clean conscience. For I have not shunned to declare unto you the injunctions of the Lord, and I have refused not to make known to you the things which will hereafter be necessary.
"Wherefore take heed unto yourselves, and the whole flock over which the Holy Ghost has appointed you as overseers in succession -- thee Achillas in the first place, and next to thee Alexander. Behold with living voice I protest to you, that after my death men will arise in the Church speaking perverse things, and will again divide it, like Meletius, drawing away the people after their madness. So I have told you before. But I pray you, mine own bowels, be watchful; for ye must undergo many tribulations. For we are no better than our fathers.
"Are ye ignorant what things my father endured from the Gentiles, he who brought me up, the most holy bishop Theonas, whose pontifical chair I have undertaken to fill? Would that I had his manners also! Why too should I speak of the great Dionysius his predecessor? Who wandering from place to place sustained many calamities from the frantic Sabellius. Nor will I omit to mention you, ye most holy fathers and high priests of the divine law, Heraclius and Demetrius, for whom Origen, that framer of a perverse dogma, laid many temptations, who cast upon the Church a detestable schism, which to this day is throwing it into confusion. But the grace of God which then protected them, will, I believe, protect you also.
"But why do I delay you longer, my very dear brethren, with the outpouring of my prolix discourse. It remains, that with the last words of the Apostle who thus prayed I address you: And now I commend you to God and the word of His grace, which is powerful to direct both you and His flock." [Cf. Acts 20].
When he had finished, falling on his knees, he prayed with them. And his speech ended, Achillas and Alexander kissing his hands and feet and bursting into tears sobbed bitterly, specially grieving at those words of his which they heard when he said that they should henceforth see him in this life no more. Then this most gentle teacher going to the rest of the clergy, who, as I have said, had come into him to speak in behalf of Arius, spake to them his last consoling words, and such as were necessary; then pouring forth his prayers to God, and bidding them adieu, he dismissed them all in peace.
These things having thus ended, it was everywhere published far and wide that Arius had not been cut off from the catholic unity without a divine interposition, but that contriver of deceit, and disseminator of all wickedness, ceased not to keep hidden his viper's poison in the labyrinth of his bosom, hoping that he should be reconciled by Achillas and Alexander. This is that Arius the heresiarch, the divider of the consubstantial and indivisible Trinity. This is he who with rash and wicked mouth, was not afraid to blaspheme the Lord and Saviour, beyond all other heretics; the Lord, I say, and Saviour, who out of pity for our human wanderings, and being sorely grieved that the world should perish in deadly destruction and condemnation, deigned for us all to suffer in the flesh. For it is not to be believed that the Godhead which is impassible was subject to the passion. But because the theologians and fathers have taken care in better style to remove from Catholics' ears the blasphemies of this nature, and another task is ours, let us return to our subject.
This most sagacious pontiff then, perceiving the cruel device of the tribunes, who, in order to bring about his death, were willing to put to the sword the whole Christian multitude that was present, was unwilling that they should together with him taste the bitterness of death, but as a faithful servant imitates his Lord and Saviour, whose acts were even as his words, "The good Shepherd giveth His life for the sheep," [John 10:11], prompted by his piety, called to him an elder of those who there waited on his words, and said to him: "Go to the tribunes who seek to kill me, and say to them, Cease ye from all your anxiety, lo! I am ready and willing of mine own accord to give myself to them. Bid them come this night to the rereward of the house of this prison, and in the spot in which they shall hear a signal given on the wall from within, there let them make an excavation, and take me and do with me as they have commanded." The elder, obeying the commands of this most holy man (for so great a father could not be contradicted), departed to the tribunes, and made the intimation to them as he had been commanded.
They, when with them had received it, were exceedingly rejoiced, and taking with them some stonemasons, came about the dawn of the day without their soldiers to the place that had been pointed out to them. The man of God had passed the whole night as a vigil without sleep in prayer and watchfulness. But when he heard their approach, whilst all who were with him were rapt in slumber, with a slow and gentle step he descended to the interior part of the prison, and according to the agreement made, made a sound on the wall; and those outside hearing this, forcing an aperture, received this athlete of Christ armed on all sides with no brazen breastplate, but with the virtue of the cross of the Lord and fully prepared to carry out the Lord's words who said, "Fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." [Matt 10:28] Wonderful was the occurrence! Such a heavy whirlwind of wind and rain prevailed during that night, that no one of those who kept the door of the prison could hear the sound of the excavation. This martyr most constant too, kept urging on his murderers, saying, "Do what ye are about to do, before those are aware who are guarding me."
But they took him up and brought him to the place called Bucolia, where the holy St. Mark underwent martyrdom for Christ. Astonishing is the virtue of the saints! As they called him along, and beheld his great constancy and strength of mind when in peril of death, on a sudden a fear and trembling came upon them to such a degree, that none of them could look steadfastly into his face. Moreover, the blessed martyr entreated them to allow him to go to the tomb of St. Mark, for he desired to commend himself to his patronage. But they from confusion, looking down on the ground, said, "Do as you wish, but make haste." Therefore approaching the burial-place of the evangelist, he embraced it, and speaking to him as if he were yet alive in the flesh and able to hear him, he prayed after this manner:
"O father most honourable, thou evangelist of the only-begotten Savior, thou witness of His passion, thee did Christ choose, who is the Deliverer of us all, to be the first pontiff and pillar of this see; to thee did He commit the task of proclaiming the faith throughout the whole of Egypt and its boundaries. Thou, I say, hast watchfully fulfilled that ministry of our human salvation which was intrusted to thee; as the reward of this labour thou hast doubtless obtained the martyr's palm. Hence, not without justice, are thou counted worthy to be saluted evangelist and bishop. Thy successor was Anianus, and the rest in descending series down to the most blessed Theonas, who disciplined my infancy, and deigned to educate my heart. To whom I, a sinner and unworthy, have been beyond my deservings appointed as successor by an hereditary descent. And, what is best of all, lo! the largeness of the divine bounty has granted me to become a martyr of His precious cross and joyful resurrection, giving to my devotion the sweet and pleasant odour of His passion, that I should be made meet to pour out unto Him the offering of my blood. And, because the time of making this offering is now instant, pray for me that, the divine power assisting me, I may be meet to reach the goal of His agony with a stout heart and ready faith.
"I commend also to thy glorious patronage the flock of Christ's worshippers which was committed to my pastoral care; to thee, I say, I with prayers commend it, who are approved as the author and guardian of all preceding and subsequent occupiers of this pontifical chair, and who, holding its first honours, are the successor not of man, but of the God-man, Christ Jesus."
Saying these words, he went back to a little distance from the sacred tomb, and raising his hands to heaven, prayed with a loud voice, saying:
"O thou Only-begotten, Jesus Christ, Word of the Eternal Father, hear me invoking Thy clemency. Speak peace, I beseech Thee, to the tempest that shakes Thy Church, and with the effusion of my blood, who am Thy servant, make an end to the persecution of Thy people."
Then a certain virgin dedicated to God, who had her cell adjoining to the tomb of the evangelist, as she was spending the night in prayer, heard a voice from heaven, saying: "Peter was the first of the apostles, Peter is the last of the martyred bishops of Alexandria."
Having ended his prayer, he kissed the tomb of the blessed evangelist, and of the other pontiffs who were buried there, and went forth to the tribunes. But they seeing his face as it had been the face of an angel, being terror-stricken, feared to speak to him of his instant agony. Nevertheless, because God does not desert those who trust in Him, He willed not to leave His martyr without consolation in the moment of so great a trial. For lo! an old man and an aged virgin, coming from the smaller towns, were hastening to the city, one of whom was carrying four skins for sale, and the other two sheets of linen. The blessed prelate, when he perceived them, recognised a divine dispensation with reference to himself. He inquired of them on the instant, "Are ye Christians?" And they replied, "Yes." Then said he, "Whither are ye going?" And they replied, "To the market in the city to sell these things that we are carrying." Then the most merciful father answered, "My faithful children, God has marked you out, persevere with me." And they immediately recognising him, said, "Sire, let it be as thou hast commanded."
Then turning to the tribunes, he said, "Come, do what ye are about to do, and fulfil the king's command; for the day is now on the point of breaking." But they, suffering violence as it were on account of the wicked decree of the prince, brought him to the spot opposite to the sanctuary of the evangelist, into a valley near the tombs. Then said the holy man, "Spread out, thou aged man, the skins which thou carriest, and thou too, O aged woman, the linen sheets." And when they had been spread out, this most constant martyr, mounting upon them, extended both his hands to heaven, and bending his knees on the ground, and fixing his mind upon heaven, returned his thanks to the Almighty Judge of the contest, and fortifying himself with the sign of the cross, said, "Amen." Then loosening his omophorion from his neck, he stretched it forth, saying, "What is commanded you, do speedily."
Meanwhile the hands of the tribunes were paralyzed, and looking upon one another in turn, each urged his fellow to the deed, but they were all held fast with astonishment and fear. At length they agreed that out of their common stock a reward for the execution should be appointed, and that the man who should venture to perpetrate the deed should enjoy the reward. There was no delay, each of them brought forth five solidi. But, as says the heathen poet,
   "O sacred hunger of pernicious gold,
    What bands of faith can impious lucre hold?"
                 [Virgil, Aeneid iii, 56 Dryden],
one of them after the manner of the traitor Judas, emboldened by the desire of money, drew his sword and beheaded the pontiff, on the 25th day of November, after he had held the pontificate twelve years -- three of which were before the persecution, but the nine remaining were passed by him under persecutions of diverse kinds. The blood-money being instantly claimed by the executioner, these wicked purchasers, or rather, destroyers, of man's life quickly returned, for they feared the multitude of the people, since, as I have said, they were without military escort. But the body of the blessed martyr, as the fathers affirm who went first to the place of execution, remained erect, as if instant in prayer, until many people, coming together, discovered it standing in the same posture; so that what was his constant practice whilst living, to this his inanimate body testified. They found also the aged man and woman watching with grief and lamentation the most precious relic of the Church. So, honouring him with a triumphal funeral, they covered his body with the linen sheets; but the sacred blood which had been poured forth, they collected reverently in a wallet.
In the meanwhile an innumerable multitude of either sex, flocking together from the populous city, with groans and ejaculations asked each other in turn, being ignorant, in what manner this had happened. In truth, from the least to the greatest, a very great grief was prevalent amongst all. For when the chief men of the city beheld the laudable importunity of the multitude, who were busied in dividing his sacred spoils to keep them as relics, they wrapped him up the tighter in the skins and linen sheets. For the most holy minister of God was always clothed in sacerdotal vestments of a white colour -- that is, with the tunic, the kolobion, and the omophorion.
Then there arose among them no small contention; for some were for carrying the most sacred limbs to the church which he had himself built, and where he now rests, but others were endeavouring to carry him to the sanctuary of the evangelist, where he attained the goal of martyrdom; and since neither party would yield to the other, they began to turn their religious observance into a wrangling and a fight. In the meanwhile a spirited body of senators of those who are engaged in the public transport service, seeing what had happened, for they were near the sea, prepared a boat, and suddenly seizing upon the sacred relics, they placed them in it, and scaling the Pharos [Lighthouse] from behind, by a quarter which has the name of Leucado, they came to the church of the most blessed mother of God, and Ever-Virgin Mary, which, as we began to say, he had constructed in the western quarter, in a suburb, for a cemetery of the martyrs. Thereupon, the throng of the people, as if the heavenly treasure had been snatched from them, some by straight roads, and others by a more devious route, followed by hasty steps. And when they at length arrived there, there was no longer any altercation where he was to be placed, but by a common and unimpeachable counsel they agreed first to place him in the episcopal chair, and then to bury him.
And this, most prudent reader, I would not have you regard as a wild fancy and superstition, since, if you learn the cause of this novelty, you will admire and approve of the zeal and deed of the populace. For this blessed priest, when he celebrated the sacrament of the divine mysteries, did not, as is the ecclesiastical custom, sit upon his pontifical throne, but upon its footstool underneath, which, when the people beheld, they disliked, and complainingly exclaimed,"Thou oughtest, O father, to sit upon thy chair"; and when they repeated this frequently, the minister of the Lord rising, calmed their complaints with tranquil voice, and again took his seat upon the same stool. So all this seemed to be done by him from motives of humility.
But upon a certain great festival it happened that he was offering the sacrifice of the mass, and wished to do this same thing. Thereupon, not only the people, but the clergy also, exclaimed with one voice, "Take thy seat upon thy chair, bishop." But he, as if conscious of a mystery, feigned not to hear this; and giving the signal for silence (for no one dared pertinaciously to withstand him), he made them all quiet, and yet, nevertheless, sat down on the footstool of the chair; and the solemnities of the mass having been celebrated as usual, each one of the faithful returned to his own home.
But the man of God sending for the clergy, with tranquil and serene mind, charged them with rashness, saying, "How is it that ye blush not for having joined the cry of the laity, and reproaching me? Howbeit, since your reproach flows not from the muddy torrent of arrogance, but from the pure fountain of love, I will unfold to you the secret of this mystery. Very often when I wish to draw near to that seat, I see a virtue as it were sitting upon it, exceeding radiant with the brightness of its light. Then, being in suspense between joy and fear, I acknowledge that I am altogether unworthy to sit upon such a seat, and if I did not hesitate to cause an occasion of offence to the people, without doubt I would not even venture to sit upon the stool itself. Thus it is, my beloved sons, that I seem to you in this to transgress the pontifical rule. Nevertheless, many times when I see it vacant, as ye yourselves are witnesses, I refuse not to sit upon the chair after the accustomed manner. Wherefore do ye, now that ye are acquainted with my secret, and being well assured that, if I shall be indulged, I will sit upon the chair, for I hold not in slight esteem the dignity of my order, cease any further from joining in the exclamations of the populace."
This explanation the most holy father, whilst he was yet alive, was compelled to give to the clergy. The faithful of Christ, therefore, remembering all this with pious devotion, brought his sacred body, and caused it to sit upon the episcopal throne. As much joy and exultation arose then to heaven from the people, as if they were attending him alive and in the body. Then embalming him with sweet spices, they wrapped him in silken coverings; what each one of them could be the first to bring, this he accounted to himself as greatest gain. Then carrying palms, the tokens of victory, with flaming tapers, with sounding hymns, and with fragrant incense, celebrating the triumph of his heavenly victory, they laid down the sacred relics, and buried them in the cemetery which had been long ago constructed by him, where too from henceforth, and even to this day, miraculous virtues cease not to show themselves. Pious vows, forsooth, are received with a propitious hearing; the health of the impotent is restored; the expulsion of unclean spirits testifies to the martyr's merits. These gifts, O Lord Jesus, are Thine, whose wont it is thus magnificently to honour Thy martyrs after death: Thou who with the Father and Holy Consubstantial Spirit livest and reignest for evermore. Amen.
After this, how that wolf and framer of treachery, that is Arius, covered with a sheep's skin, entered into the Lord's fold to worry and torment it, or in what manner he was enabled to attain to the dignity of the priesthood, let us employ ourselves in relating in brief. [Editor's Note: It was Achillas, the successor of Peter, who admitted Arius to the priesthood.]
And this not to annoy those who ventured to recall to the threshing-floor of the Lord those tares of apostacy and contagion that had been winnowed out of the Church by a heavenly fan; for these are without doubt reckoned eminent for sanctity, but thinking it a light thing to believe so holy a man, they transgressed the injunctions of the divine command. What then? Do we reprehend them? By no means. For as long as this corruptible body weighs us down, and this earthly habitation depresses the sense of our infirmity, many are easily deceived in their imaginations, and think that to be just which is unjust, that to be holy which is impure. The Gibeonites who, by the divine threatenings, were to be utterly destroyed, having one thing in their wishes and another in their voice and mien, were able quickly to deceive Joshua, that just distributor of the land of promise. David also, full of prophetic inspiration, when he had heard the words of the deceitful youth, although it was by the inscrutable and just judgment of God, yet acted very differently from what the true nature of the case required. What also can be more sublime than the apostles, who have not removed themselves from our infirmity? For one of them writes, "In many things we offend all;" [James 3:2], and another, "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." [I John 1:8]. But when we repent of these, so much the more readily do we obtain pardon, when we have sinned not willingly, but through ignorance or frailty. And certainly offences of this sort come not of prevarication, but of the indulgence of compassion. But I leave to others to write an apology for this; let us pursue what is in hand. After that magnificent defender of the faith, Peter, worthy of his name, had by the triumph of martyrdom...
[Here the manuscript ends.]
EDITOR'S NOTE: St. Peter of Alexandria, noted for the gentleness with which he treated those who had lapsed during the persecutions, became himself in 311 the last great martyr of Egypt under paganism. There are many accounts of his life in Coptic, Greek, and Latin, differing in numerous particulars. The following early Latin life is typical. For a slightly different version, see The History of the Patriarchs of the Coptic Church of Alexandria, by Severus of Al-Ushmunain, an electronic edition of which is being published by the St. Pachomius Library. An interesting modern study of St. Peter, with a welcome and unusual degree of respect for the historical value of church tradition, is Tim Vivian's doctoral thesis St. Peter of Alexandria, Bishop and Martyr (Philadelphia: Fortress / Studies in Antiquity and Christianity, 1988). -- N. Redington
The St. Pachomius Orthodox Library, Pentecost Week 1995
Have mercy, O Lord, upon Thy servants the translator James and the scribes Walter, Tony, Steven, Paul, Maurice, Michael, Tae Han, Amgad, Vassilios, and Alifa.
THE END, AND TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

here's who lost the fewest and the most followers
New Post has been published on https://www.uberbuyer.com/2018/07/13/heres-who-lost-the-fewest-and-the-most-followers/
here's who lost the fewest and the most followers
It wasn’t quite a Thanos-level extinction event, but the Twitter purge came, it took, and it conquered.
On Thursday, Twitter commenced the deletion of accounts it deemed “inactive.” That means accounts owned by people who’ve stopped using the platform and didn’t bother to try to reactivate when Twitter sent them a message asking what’s up, and bots that Twitter flagged for exhibiting erratic behavior who didn’t answer that same “what’s up?” email — because the accounts don’t actually belong to real people. 
Bots have been a consistent problem on Twitter, since they’re used to artificially amplify messages and follower accounts. They’ve also contributed to the divisive and combative environment on the platform, not only making the experience worse, but also impacting the real world by way of, oh, the US presidential election.
The purge is Twitter’s attempt to “increase trust.” Read: Twitter wants to stop robots (though people are OK!) from manipulating the platform for spammy, troll-y, and even nefarious purposes, so critics and members of Congress will stop accusing the company of being complicit in the manipulation of our democracy. 
So, we purge!
The evening before the purge took effect, Mashable logged the follower counts of some notable Tweeters. We’ve got your politicians, your pundits, your influencers, your celebs, and more. 
The method for choosing who to monitor, of course, was Extremely Scientific — by which we mean it was not scientific at all. 
We chose some people just because they’re influential and have a lot of followers (like Katy Perry). We chose others because we’ve noticed them exhibiting some shady follow-for-follow behavior, and thought their accounts would fall pray to the purge (hi, Taye Diggs). We picked some accounts because they’re involved in the fake news/conspiracy theory machine that thrives on Twitter, and we wondered whether bots were helping to amplify their voices (Alex Jones, u up?). And we chose others, well, for the LOLs. 
All in all, we ranked just over 50 accounts. Here are the Mashable winners and losers of the Twitter purge.
1. Biggest winner: Twitter!
You win when you lose.
Image: screenshot: rachel kraus/mashable
With a loss of more than 12 percent of its followers, Twitter really took the purge as the chance to Marie Kondo its life. Congrats, Twitter, on only keeping the followers that bring you joy.
2. Other biggest winners: Apple and Sarah Huckabee Sanders
Image: SCREENSHOT: RACHEL KRAUS/MASHABLE
What do your favorite tech company and the mouthpiece of the president have in common? Neither lost enough followers to register any change in their rounded follower counts! Hooray?
3. Biggest losers: C-list/past their prime celebs/Taye Diggs
Image: SCREENSHOT: RACHEL KRAUS/MASHABLE
Tyrese, Amanda Bynes, and Lindsay Lohan all lost considerably more followers than their closest competitors. But hey, that comes as no surprise. Special kudos to Tyrese, who lost nearly 8 percent of his followers. Get it, Ty!
Until today, Taye Diggs had around 670K followers, almost the same count as the number of people he follows — a sure sign that something sketchy is going on. He lost more than 4 percent of his followers. Better get back to that follow-for-follow action!
4. Taking a moderate L: Khloe Kardashian
(Please forgive that Barack Obama is nestled among the Kardashians. It’s not a bad place to be.)
Image: SCREENSHOT: RACHEL KRAUS/MASHABLE
Khloe’s Twitter following is less than half the size of her sister Kim’s, but she lost .2 percent more followers than big sis. Someone was just as thirsty for fame on Twitter as she is IRL!
Here’s how all the Kardashians stack up.
5. Taking an “It doesn’t matter because Donald Trump is still our president” W: Hillary Clinton
Image: SCREENSHOT: RACHEL KRAUS/MASHABLE
Just .43 percent of Hil-dog’s followers were bots — only SHS, Apple, and … Logan Paul … did better. 
The Group Stages
We broke down the Twitter users we monitored into seven groups. 
Celebs: a handful of celebrities, some super influential, some exhibiting shady social media behavior
First Family: past and present! 
Flunkies: politicians from both parties
Influencers: fitness gurus, YouTubers, and fashion bloggers
(members of the) International Players Club: prominent figures outside of the US
Pundits: political commentators and outlets, mostly conservative (since we were testing for conspiracy theorists — we see you, Alex Jones)
Tech Companies: some of the big ones
Biggest loser (by percentage): Tech companies
Twitter basically guaranteed the L on this one.
Image: SCREENSHOT: RACHEL KRAUS/MASHABLE
Biggest winner (by percentage): IPC
People really love Pope Francis and Brexit.

And, finally, here are the Top 25 biggest losers. You can see the rest of our extremely scientific standings here.

2017: #6-NEFARIOUS NEIGHBORS 3
Tumblr media
In previous years, Pandora’s Box of True Halloween Tales has explored extraordinary episodes involving my eccentric neighbors and neighborhood (see 2012: #6-NEFARIOUS NEIGHBORS and 2015: #10-NEFARIOUS NEIGHBORS 2 (OR FISHNECK’S PLENTIFUL PILES)).  I have lived at the same apartment for twenty-three years in the Chicago neighborhood of East Rogers Park.  It is a Bohemian neighborhood with some of the greatest amount of diversity in the country.  I once sat on a park bench a block from my apartment and counted passersby speaking a total of twelve different languages in fifteen minutes.  The neighborhood had many hippies, and some really old hippies still lurk in the shadows amongst their volumes of head and beard hair like Cousin It from The Addams Family.  In fact, Allen Ginsberg once visited the coffeehouse under my third floor apartment (see 2012: #2-THE HOWLING POET).  I love it when the Hare Krishnas come chanting down the street making strange sounds to the nearby beach for the Summer Solstice.  It’s a fun place to live.  I live very close to the beach where I write these tales in the early morning (see 2014: #13-HORROR OF BEACH PARTY, NO BINGO).  Right now, the beach is deserted except for a few dog walkers ambling about like smiling zombies on the sunny beach.  
Back in the hot summer of 2008 I witnessed a bizarre occurrence in front of my apartment building.  I was outside enjoying an ice cream delight of some sort from the coffeehouse on the first floor.  The police had arrived…  Something was happening with Negan.  But who was Negan?  Negan is a tall villain from The Walking Dead played by Henry Dean Morgan.  Morgan also starred in The Resident, one of Christopher Lee’s last horror films; rumor has it he will be playing Batman in upcoming films (see 2009: #12-THE REAL BATMAN).  He is a tall, large, middle aged, somewhat-bearded man who wears a leather jacket, jeans, and has a Southern drawl and swagger.  Someone very much like Negan lived across my courtyard, and he had a husband and a “cub” right out of John Water’s film, A Dirty Shame.  This cub looked like it was from a pack of nasty sasquatches; it was plump, hairy, and not young (see 2013: #5-MONSTERS ON THE LOOSE 5: BIGFOOT).   This hairy cub had secretly taken the path of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.  He became unstable, locked himself in rooms for long periods of time, and then consumed a random mix of prescription medications belonging to Negan.  The medications included testosterone, and Cub Hyde became mad as a hatter trying to assist the Headless Horseman!   Things were smashed, there were altercations, and he viciously bit Negan as if he was the walking dead, leaving teeth marks on his arm.  There was a crazy cannibal, possible zombie, bigfoot baby, on the premises!  The police arrived.  My brain froze from the ice cream, and my eyes began rolling about like fruits in a slot machine.  Yet I somehow saw the police lead Cub Hyde outside, all hairy and sweaty as my ice cream melted.  The Great Escape then commenced.  I watched the scene unfold as Cub Hyde attempted to escape from the police – without shoes – running barefoot on the hot pavement.  He was very nearly escaping from the police at one mile per hour – as he slowly waddled.  The police slowly walked behind and alongside side him remonstrating with him to stop escaping.  Cub Hyde was clearly making a run for it… to the beach. This was not Patrick McGoohan trying to escape from a giant bubble on the beach (see 2017: #4-SPIES).  Eventually, the police managed to sweep him into their police car and escort him to evaluation at the local looney bin.  I think my ice cream melted.
In August of 2014, a powerful storm swept through Chicago, and a microburst occurred right down my street.  I heard very heavy rain and hail.  The wind was so strong it felt like the roof would be ripped off.  The wind and rain came with hurricane force in this microburst.  For less than a minute, the storm became so powerful that visibility was reduced to about two feet.  All I could see was a white, light gray blur of force.  After it was over, visibility greatly improved, and trees were down directly in my field of vision.  The storm had been so strong that visibility had obscured a tree going down fifteen feet from my window.  There were ten trees down on my street within one block of my apartment.  The park by the beach had been damaged by the storm, with huge uprooted trees with exposed roots.  I spoke to a family who held onto a large tree for their lives during the heavy winds.  The tree fell over and was uprooted while they held on to it, but they had no injuries.  The park and surrounding area still has not had trees replaced as of 2017.  My immediate neighborhood had been deforested.
I saw my neighborhood go through gentrification, before, during, and after, and I have seen the long term effects.  Apartments that used to house diverse people now are $500 more a month in rent and the tenants are spoiled college students.  The quality of tenants dropped in the last couple of years.  Some tenants now had mean large dogs.  One tenant had a very mean Cujo dog that attempted to attack me.   As I trudged up the back stairs carrying groceries, Cujo roared and burst out of a screen window to attack me.  Its massive, monstrous, malevolent head was caught in the screen!  It loudly barked, and its fang-filled maw of destruction moved manically like a piranha in a frenzy!  If Cujo managed to jump out of the window, it could have fallen down three stories if it did not make the jump to my deck.  I scrambled up the stairs and looked for shields or weapons, but alas none were around. Cujo roared and started breaking the screen.  I dashed inside before he broke free, and his owner managed to capture him and drag him back to Hell.  With my deforested neighborhood and Cujo madly barking for blood and bits, it was now time to move.  
A year ago I decided to move from the apartment I have lived at for 23 years.  A new, nicer apartment building was found nearby in the neighborhood.  I called back a few weeks later, and they told me that they had raised the rent by $900 yet with no changes in service, because a billionaire bought the building.  I guess that billionaire needed more money.  This scenario signified it was time to buy property.  The quest for the condo began.  I immediately selected a condominium co-op a half block closer to the lake, down the street from my apartment.  The unit sold an hour before I was scheduled to visit it.  So I went on a waiting list for another unit to become available.  The following year, 2017, and a unit became available.  I signed a contract to buy it, with a good view of the lake.  The price was low, but the drawback was that the place looked like a dungeon (see 2012: #10-DUNGEONS).  There was a door with an enormous metal latch and padlock on it used to lock an unused, extra bedroom – from the outside of the room…  What or who was being locked in the room?  The owner had passed away, and his sister provided no explanation other than her brother “had problems.”  Another room had an enormous cabinet attached to a wall she refused to move, reminiscent of Rosemary’s Baby.  Were his victims mummified away behind that cabinet?  At best, I deduced that he was locking the ghosts of his parents in that room because they also lived there previously.  I began thinking of the 1980 horror film, House, American Horror Story season 1, and many other horror films and books that feature haunted houses.  Luckily, the condominium board would not allow me to move in due to having two cats, and all of their residing witches were only allowed one familiar (see 2017: #2-WITCHES).
I found a much better condo a few blocks north, where I live now.  It is a new building, so there cannot be too many ghosts!  Unless, of course, it was built on the site of an Indian burial ground.  In fact, there is a cemetery nearby, but I mainly focus on the lake view.  I often watch sail boats, small propeller planes, sea gulls, and clouds.  But one night I saw a horrifying monstrosity over the lake.  The sun was setting, it was getting dark, and suddenly I saw a very large creature flying through the air.  It landed in a nearby tree.  It had a wingspan of five feet or so and its head looked like a dinosaur, like a Tyrannosaurus rex (see 2010: #3-CURSE OF THE TYRANNOSAURUS REX).  The closest known creature it looked like was a pterodactyl – I could not believe my eyes!  And I soon found out what it was.  According to residents of my block, herons often dive into the lake and sit up in that tree.  This one appears to have been a Great Blue Heron, the largest of the species.  Great Blue Herons are large pterodactyl-like birds, and I very much hope to avoid that bird in the future.  Mr. Great Blue, you fly back to school now, fly, fly, fly.

2017-09(SEP)-24th-Sunday--HELL REPEATING JUST AS IT HAS FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS HERE.
2017-09(SEP)-24th-Sunday--HELL REPEATING JUST AS IT HAS FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS HERE.
Upon Sunday night......in Saturday night....24-September-2017.....
ONCE AGAIN....vehicles pulling up outside by the aborigibnals CRIMINAL HOUSE(s) inlcuding the main CRIMINAL HOUSE....
ONCE AGAIN....shitheads getting out with suitcases and going in.....
ONCE AGAIN....a vehicle hangs around and waits for ages with its headlights lights on all the time......
ONCE AGAIN....a period of false calm afterwards.....
ONCE AGAIN....completely dark except for the pathetic street lights that don't give off enough light.....
ONCE AGAIN....suddenly there is explosives going off in the open streets. Maybe it's fireworks, but even they are illegal here. But NOTHING illegal ever stops the criminals. LOTS of fireworks going off in the streets around by other affiliated aboriginal CRIMININAL houses, skyrockets exploding at close ground level...never mind about worrying about setting fire to any houses next to them. You're allowed to do that when you're criminal and are totally allowed to do crime at will.........
ONCE AGAIN....there was false calm afterwards.
ONCE AGAIN....vehicles cruising all about aimlessly, and going in and out of the aboriginal CRIMINAL HOUSES even as late as almost midnight and afterwards so making a mockery of any timeekeeping of their actions....
THEN....SUNDAY, 24-September-2017.......
ONCE AGAIN....illegal ofroad motorbikes tearing about on the streets.....they were doing that last 'night' and continue.......they go about and go past the aboriginal CRIMINAL HOUSES and past the Koongamia shops.....and all about totally at will with complete impunity and without fear of being ever caught.........
ONCE AGAIN....late a duo on one such bike seen going going past the aboriginal CRIMINAL HOUSES and past the Koongamia shops.......the rider had a helmet ONLY worn to conceal their identity whlst the pasenger (an aboriginal, one of the MANY countless criminal ones from the aboriginal CRIMINAL HOUSES) was on the back hanging on for dear life because there is no footpegs not that they ever care), and that tore past on the roads past the aboriginal CRIMINAL HOUSES, onto Clayton Street and tore off at high speed.
ONCE AGAIN....Police sirens loudly blaring and coming into the area, then going away.....
ONCE AGAIN....straight afterwards the illegal mortorbike goes out onto the roads again........
ONCE AGAIN.... as I am typing this at 15:47, a scooter motorbike goes flying past on the roads after tearing out of the pedestrian walkway, just as it has done so on Saturday, and now Sunday MANY times......
ONCE AGAIN....are you sick of me prefacing ecverything with "ONCE AGAIN...."? -- It's because ALL OF THS SHIT has been going on EXACTLY the same for two years in almost exactly the same manner.
Sunday has not yet finished yet. There is STILL lots more to come as Sunday merges into becoming Mnday. And tommorrow on Monday, no doubt there will be West Australian Police sniffing about and going to the main aboriginal CRIMINAL HOUSEHOLD. They will do it all VERY QUIETLY, perhaps with a few POLICE vehicles, but all of it done quietly.
ONCE AGAIN....perhaps they will haul off some of the criminals, maybe some bullshit crying acting by the criminals.....and afterwards there will be false calm......but then there will probably just as always be an eruption of shit at the main aboriginal CRIMINAL HOUSEHOLD which bleeds across into and out of the other aboriginal CRIMINAL HOUSEHOLDS.
Who the hell needs a time machine when the SAME SHIT goes and on like clockwork so regularly and consistantly that it keeps repeating and that past records (not even scribbled down just by myself) shows the SAME shit going on and on and on....
And you wonder why poor dear Sam and Max and myself are so upset and in abject despair in this fucking HELL neverending?
---------------------------------
THERE IS STILL STUFF THAT IS GOING TO REPEAT.......
Some of it is happening in the NEWS and world NEWS.
Missing plane(s) anyone? - Perhaps missing ships this time? - Another plague? - Wonder 'miracle' which isnn't (nope, already having those in the media) - Corrupt politicians? (always a favourite choice) - New wonder weapons? (in progress in the media) - False hope? (always in progress in all the media) - New threats to the world from terrible enemies? (in progress) - New 'life' discovered on other planets? (again) - Wonder social dscoveries to alleviate the worlds problems? (in progress AGAIN that will fizzle out) - New alternatives to money? (in progress AGAIN) -- And on and on and on and on it all goes around and around and around......
How about having some nefarious 'spy' discovered in government in the world? Haven't had one of those NEWS events for awhile now. It would dovetail in with the usual scheduled denigrating of other world governments....
Huge 'revalations' pronouncing that previous criminals were and are in fact absolute saints and knew everything that will now need to be done. -- That would dovetail in with 'foregving' of all criminals common, local, international and in power, to carry on again just as they have been doing all along and get even worse.
---------------------------------
Still to come around this hellhole.....cars tearing about at nights.....vehicle smashes.....pathetic related news stories about 'poor diddums' driving said vehicles who claim they didn't know what they were doing was illegal in any way for YEARS.....
Murders......
Bullshit 'entertainment' open events held at the local school oval to cater to the criminals as a pathetic vain attenmpt to deter them from doing crime....(YES, that's been done before).......
Vehicles arriving at the aboriginal CRIMINAL HOUSEHOLD(s) to take the 'poor diddums' criminals off on a 'holiday' for a short while........(YES, that's been done before and was simply a 'reward' for all their criminality).......
New vehicles suplied to the the aboriginal CRIMINAL HOUSEHOLD(s).....(has happend MANY times already)......
MORE CRIME.......
MORE POLICE ATTEMPTS TO SOLVE IT ALL BUT ALWAYS FAIL AND ARE DESIGNED TO FAIL AND ARE NEVER EVER ENVISAGED TO PROGRESS ANYWHERE........
---------------------------------
3 apparently 'normal' youths were about having fun yesterday on pushbikes. You could tell they weren't the usual criminals becaue they wore bicyle helmets which is the LAW here in Western Australia.
But one wore a heavy full-faced motorcycle helmet, which is heavy and undoubtedly won't last long. Best to let it be stolen and used as a disguise when wearing on illegal motorbikes tearing about on the streets day or night. No choice is ever given in the matter.
---------------------------------
P@16:00--Sunday-September-2017---I love you dear Fliss and want to be with you. - YOU have no idea at all of all this that has been happening, even though a lot of it was occuring even when YOU were here and was commencing to happen and therafter repeat forever.

Codes For Every Single Card
To get any card on the electronic game you must have that card in real life, or just find someplace you can view it at, and type in the code on the bottom left-hand corner. If that doesn’t work try it again and make sure that you type the exact code. Some 20 cards do not have codes so your out of luck with them.
Stage 5 Characters
The hidden characters in Stage 5 are Pegasus, Simon, and Trusdale. Get Pegasus by typing in the code for Toon World (15259703), finding the card in a pack, or trading it into your game. To activate Simon, beat the tournament in November (doing this gives you all the cards). There are two ways to activate Trusdale: 1)Defeat Simon OR 2)Get all the cards. The other Stage 5 Member is the Duel Computer. It comes with Stage 5.
Blue Eyes Pack
To unlock the Blue Eyes Pack Beat Little Yugi 20 times.
Beware Of The Man In The Black Cape
After you unlock the page with Rare Hunter and Marik Ishtar you may come across this mysterious man in a black cape that wants to duel you. He says that he will take one of your cards if you lose. I think it is Marik. Anyway, all you have to do to keep one of your cards is beat him in a duel.
Get A Harpie Lady Pack
In order for you to get a Harpie Lady Pack, you must beat Yugi, Tea, Bakhura, and Hoey 20 times. Then you must beat Tristan 10 times. After you beat Tristan the tenth time Yugi’s Grandpa wll pop up and tell you about a new pack that you can choose now. Good Luck and Have Fun!!!!!
Party 5
The 5th party is Pegusus, Simon, Duel Computer, and Trusdale (Yugi’s Grandpa)
Turns Go By Faster
To make the game speed go faster press and HOLD the “b” button. It makes the battle speed go faster.
Grandpa And Simon
To unlock Grandpa and simon you have to beat everybody in the november torterment.To unlockGrandpa you need to beat Simon once.
Harpie Lady Pack!
Beat little Bakura and Tea Gardener 10 times each to unlock the Harpie Lady Pack(Mai’s favorite card)!
Booster Packs

Level Pass
The real way to pass on to the next level:
1st Round- comes standared2nd round- beat each duelist in the first round 2 times each3rd round- beat each duelist in the 2nd round 3 times4th round- beat each duelist in the 3rd round 4 timesFINAL ROUND-beat each duelist in the 4th round 5 times to unlock the duel computer, get TOON WORLD to unlock Pegasus. Win the national championships in November to unlock simon, beat him, and he will give you EVERY CARD IN THE GAME!!! plus, he will unlock Grandpa as the final duelist. NOTE: when you beat simon, he also gives you the three Egyptian God cards, which are not able to use in a duel.
Unlock Pegasus!
To battle against the creator of Duel Monsters, you must beat Yami Bakura, Seto Kaiba, Ishisu, Shadii, and Yami Yugi 3 times each. Doing so will unlock a duel computer with 3 mysterious duelists that need to be unlocked. If you enter the code for Toon World after getting into that area (not before!), you’ll unlock Pegasus and will be allowed to duel him.
Beware, It’s Seto Kaiba!
After the rare hunters and Marik (these people must be defeated 4 times,) you must beat Yami Yugi, Yami Bakura, Ishizu, Shadi, and Seto Kaiba (not Kaiba Seto, like it sais on the game!) Kaiba has 3, 0r 4 Blue Eyes. Watch out, because if he summons Cyber-Stein, that means he will lose 5000 life points to special summon THE BLUE EYES ULTIMATE DRAGON!
