I really miss my group in Columbia Missouri. I have been exiled in Nashville way too long.

Even though I like the PEOPLE in my current group more- as a group, not necessarily individually- my group in Austin was the best...

It is St. Patrick's day, who has their green on?

 

[Dog Moon]

I am not wearing anything even remotely green.

Maybe one of you knows the answer to this question:

What is the stone THING called that you find in a mausoleum that usually has the carving of a warrior or some other figure on it? You slide the top part off to reveal the dead person inside.

sarcofagus?

sarcofagus?

I THOUGHT that might have been it, but as far as I know those are just the things you see for Egyptian stuff. Wasn't sure if it was the same word or not.

Do you remember the Indiana Jones movie "the last crusade"? They had to take a rubbing off of the shield of the knight? That is a sarcophagus. Is that what you are kind of referring to?

I don't actually.... but having done a search, it does look like there are two different kinds of sarcophagi, the typical Egyptian standing version and the stone slab version that I was thinking of. I guess I just never realized that the word covered both version rather than there being two different words for each version.

Thanks for the help! Needed the word for a part in an adventure that I'm writing, which is part of an Adventure PATH that I'm writing.
