mc5 - AVMA Take 2

Yes, it's another round of that classic guessing game - Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, Abstract [or any combination thereof]. This effort - '03/'04 should address any queries, but then again, may just serve to confuse and baffle which some might say is the point of the game. Patience, integrity and a decent search engine may be useful ....

Superman

The mineral you talked about: we know it isn't a rock, but is it a jewel?

KagomeShuko

Mineral-ish

Could this be about SHELLey?

CdM

Rock? No.
Shelley, with or without the EY? No.

Boolbar

A poem about a historic event?

CdM

Poem about a historic event? (The audience applauds the question.) That's a bit tricky to answer, but at the risk of giving too much away, I'll do my best. The simple answer is No. Thinking about the AOTC in terms of a specific historic event is not in itself helpful.

That said, there is definitely a historical aspect both to the AOTC (more specifically the mineral subconnection) and to the various subsubconnections of the mineral subconnection. And it is also correct to say that those historical subsubconnections involve an event or events, broadly understood.

KagomeShuko

What is that alluring scent?

Could somebody been SLAVING over AN INGREDIENT FOR MAKING BREAD?

CdM

Er, what?

I don't understand the question, but it has nothing to do with the AOTC.

Simons Mith

Longfellow?

Radox The Green

Lurker's guess - Is the name Ozymandias, King of kings?

CdM

Longfellow? No.
Ozymandias? No. (Shelley has already been suggested and rejected. Also, I don't know what you mean by "the name"; there has been no mention of a name in this AVMA.)

I'm surprised this is proving so difficult. It's not that obscure. And you will get there eventually just by naming poets, but I'm not sure if it is the best route to the answer.

Boolbar

Is it based on an Arthurian legend?

CdM

Arthurian? No.

KagomeShuko

less vague . . .

Could we be singing about amber grains of WHEAT?
