This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

This is Sean Whalen (prion).

Oosik.  Also ooshook.  Inuit (Eskimo) for the baculum (penis bone) of
a walrus, or of other sea mammals, or just for penis.  Baculum or
baculus in Latin means staff, walking stick, or augur's staff.=20
Generalissimo of Viron.  Father of Mattak (Whale Meat).  Name may have
to do with his relationship with Hyacinth.  Also, since baculum means
an augur's staff, this probably has to do with the fact that he
supports Silk, or that he is a member of his staff.

Oreb.  Hebrew for raven.  A chough is any species of genus Pyrrhocorax
(red raven).  Related to crows.  Have black feathers and red legs.
Night chough Silk buys to sacrifice, but doesn't.  Also the name of a
raven refered to in the Chrasmologic Writings
