The Explorers Club
No. CXIII - Marcus Porcius Cato (234-149 B.C.), immortalized as Cato the Censor or Cato the Elder, defender of Roman virtue against Greek decadence, who concluded every speech in the Senate, regardless of topic, with "...and Carthage must be destroyed."








The Lolita Mystery
One week ago, on 10th February, "Lolita" by Mustard Plug was the Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day. "Lolita" was chosen for a very specific reason, a reason that is a mystery, but not a secret. I believe detection, observation, deduction, and investigation capable of unraveling the mystery. There is a "hefty ransom" for whomever cracks the case (non-monetary, but a worthy prize all the same).

The Guy has uncovered two clues, one he gleaned and one he coaxed out of me: "there is a girl that [I] want to 'meet-a'" and this girl is not under the age of 18. Yet another resource: return to the scene of the crimelink. Who among you is game to solve the mystery of "Lolita"?

Mystery!
