For once, I can see exactly where this list came from! All of these words came from the names of gods. Are they all Roman gods?
And, is that last one supposed to be Volcano?
You never heard of Franklin Volano Roosevelt?
Yup, you got it — and they’re five Greek and five Roman. (The inspiration — overhearing a coworker refer to someone whose last name is “Janitor.”)
These made me wish I could draw because I saw good mental pictures but can’t actually make them reality. Here are my pictures.
Cereal
A Roman goddess in the grocery store, holding a box of Cheerios or Special K
Cupidity - A cupid at a craps table with a pile of chips in front of him, a couple of hot women on either side
Erotic - to close to the original to get a good amusing picture
Hermetic
A roman god in a Mason Jar, trying to get out.
Janitor
An old guy pushing a broom, with one face looking at what he is doing, and a second one glaring at a kid with a drippy ice cream cone.
Jovial - same problem as with “erotic”
Martial
Roman god (in toga) doing a karate chop that is breaking a board.
Mercurial
God melting into a shiny puddle a la Odo from DS9.
Saturnalia
A cocktail party where all the guests are ringed planets.
Volcano
Spock at an anvil shoeing a horse
Those are excellent! I wish I could draw, too.
