Hogwarts, Hogwarts,
Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald,
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling,
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare
And full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff.
So teach us stuff worth knowing,
Bring back what we forgot,
Just do your best
We'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot!





Victimae paschali laudes
Immolent Christiani.
Agnus redemit oves:
Christus innocens Patri
Reconciliavit peccatores.
Mors et vita duello
Conflixere mirando:
Dux vitae mortuus,
Regnat vivus.

Dic nobis Maria,
Quid vidisti in via?
Sepulcrum Christi viventis,
Et gloriam vidi resurgentis:
Angelicos testes,
Sudarium, et vestes.

Surrexit Christus spes mea:
Praecedet suos in Galilaeam.
Scimus Christum surrexisse
A mortuis vere:
Tu nobis, victor Rex,
Miserere.
Amen. Alleluia.

Steel Forge Victors!


I had mentioned my "predictions" earlier in this post - they were about as vague as Professor Trelawney's, I'll admit. But I'll just point out how my analysis of the 4 elements involved in the game played out.

Fire - As I predicted, fast Willie Parker was the fire when he literally burnt up the record for longest run in the superbowl with his 75-yard touchdown run in the 3rd quarter.

Air - Seahawks controlled the air with Hasselbeck passing 273 yards to the Steelers 168.

Earth - Steelers stuck to the earth for 181 yards running to the Seahawks 137.

Water (interpreted as "cunning defense") - The Seahawks cunningly intercepted 2 key passes and turned one into a touchdown. The Steelers had one pick.

So there you have it. Of course being a fan and a native of the 'burgh, I'm thrilled the Steelers got "one for the thumb" tying with Dallas and San Fran for the record of 5 Superbowl wins. I hope everyone found my little interpretation entertaining and my self-congratulation amusing at least.

I tell you, I was on the "South Side" in Pittburgh Saturday night and so was very glad to hear they just roped the whole of E Carson St off because things were crazy enough and traffic bad enough as it was Sat night ... but, man, would have hated to be down there if they had lost LOL

But I'm also just glad they won in general

Rowling would truely be proud of you man, this is exactly what I think she is doing with Quidditch as a symbol of Alchemical transformation
