So I didn’t win the ‘name the Paneuropean Ogres’ contest.

But I can’t be too upset about it: the winning entry was “VENI, VIDI, VICI.” …Yeah, that was a knock-it-out-of-the-park win, there. I don’t mind losing to an entry like that. It’s pretty much perfect for a bunch of Paneuropean Ogres, after all.  And it’s not even an abbreviation!  Seriously, I’m disappointed in myself that I didn’t think of this one.

PS: If you’re curious, I went with:

BRXT
GRXT
SPXT

So I wasn’t expecting a win anyway.

  1. That was brilliant. In hindsight it’s both perfect and obvious.
    It was just right there for the taking.

    (Mine wasn’t even as original as yours. I just compressed the names of some of Charlemagne’s more famous paladins.)

    1. I look at this from the bright side: clearly we do not have to be the Bloody Clever Ones all the time. There are people out there who can take up the slack.

  2. It’s quite brilliant .. it has only one flaw I can see.

    What’s the fourth Ogre to be called?

    Okay, yeah a fourth Ogre is *even more overkill* than three Ogres, but still ..
