bboy_mn:
Order and chaos; I completely forgot about that one. So let's see, how
can I state that possibility. The Order of the Phoenix could be the
well organized, properly functioning, stable, perhaps even tranquil
result of the Phoenix.
The possibilties are -
The Well Ordered World of the Phoenix
The Command of the Phoenix
The Sequence of the Phoenix
The Fraternal Organization of the Phoenix.
As in a lodge or club...
The Honor Society of the Phoenix
As in awarded knighthood in the Order of the British Empire, or Order
of Merlin ...
Just our luck, the Order of the Phoenix will be Ham and Cheese on Rye.
Hummm... is that another one... The Request of the Phoenix????
Just a thought.
