... ok ... I know a lot of people are really puzzled by this post. (As evidenced by the moderators moving it around, trying to figure out where it goes, or considering deletion (!?) because they don't get it.

)

Well I don't either. But I'm not willing to delete something that isn't outrightly offensive, slanderous, or inaccurate simply because i don't understand it.

My best guess is that this is related to 'runes' - those (what some might call 'new-age-y') sets of chits used for divination, etc.. Analogs would include Tarot Cards & the I Ching.

But there's certainly a lot more going on there...

Cider, am I even close? This is cryptic, but I wouldn't call it obfuscated.



Wait! This isn't a Parachute, this is a Backpack!
