Seriously, I will defend the rights of Gays, but I'd rather not watch it. (It's not just seeing naked guys -- there are other types of sex I don't need to see.)

I did watch "Six Feet Under" which had a strong gay sub-story but the rest of the series made it worth-it.

i started to count hals um's yesterday but after i got to 200 i couldnt continue. its driving me crazy.

317---good job Amy!

So glad to be a part of the fun (if only for a few minutes).

Have a great day, everyone!

Well it's good to know that Iliad is good for something. Those Greeks---they gave us so much. How can we ever thank them.

Hey people, have a good day! See ya tomorry!

Way to go jram!

My work here is done. See ya tomorrow, liveblog.

A! thanks for the laughs, amy

259: "...Does anyone know where the love of God goes
When the words turn the minutes to hours..."
- - - this must be from a lyrics site where the assemlor depended excessively upon spellcheck. - computers do not catch a wrong word correctly spelled. - in this balld, it's the WIND that turns the minutes to hours. - ten seconds in ice water will convince you of this. - when the WORDS turn the minutes (or even the seconds) to hours, that just means you've found glenn beck.

w00t!

i gave Hal his first sparta this week!

i wonder if that rates me a reach around?

Pat B also had an earlier book in which he argued that America didn't neet to get into WWII because Englan had already won the war with the Battle of Britain. How does he get published?

Woo hoo! We did it!!!!!!!!

sparta? do it.

Oh yes. We did it!!!!

SPARTA

#283 I remember watching the first episode of Queer As Folk at my mom's house. Somehow she only walked by during the many sex scenes.

Ok, this is happening. Hal's sparta.

Here's SPARTA!

sparta

"Son of Atreus," said he, "I deem that we should now turn roving home if we would escape destruction, for we are being cut down by war and pestilence at once. Let us ask some priest or prophet, or some reader of dreams (for dreams, too, are of Jove) who can tell us why Phoebus Apollo is so angry, and say whether it is for some vow that we have broken, or hecatomb that we have not offered, and whether he will accept the savour of lambs and goats without blemish, so as to take away the plague from us."

almost.....

Woo Hoo! Sparta in sight!

For nine whole days he shot his arrows among the people, but upon the tenth day Achilles called them in assembly- moved thereto by Juno, who saw the Achaeans in their death-throes and had compassion upon them. Then, when they were got together, he rose and spoke among them.

R

Four minutes to go. Are we there yet?

Thus did he pray, and Apollo heard his prayer. He came down furious from the summits of Olympus, with his bow and his quiver upon his shoulder, and the arrows rattled on his back with the rage that trembled within him. He sat himself down away from the ships with a face as dark as night, and his silver bow rang death as he shot his arrow in the midst of them. First he smote their mules and their hounds, but presently he aimed his shafts at the people themselves, and all day long the pyres of the dead were burning.

#277 It's not Hal's fault, it's ours. We just don't post as much when Hal (or Frangela for that matter) is in charge.

beans beans

T-minus 4 minutes and counting...

The old man feared him and obeyed. Not a word he spoke, but went by the shore of the sounding sea and prayed apart to King Apollo whom lovely Leto had borne. "Hear me," he cried, "O god of the silver bow, that protectest Chryse and holy Cilla and rulest Tenedos with thy might, hear me oh thou of Sminthe. If I have ever decked your temple with garlands, or burned your thigh-bones in fat of bulls or goats, grant my prayer, and let your arrows avenge these my tears upon the Danaans."

cant understand what make a man hate another man help me understand

P

Have any of you watched Hal in "Queer as Folk"? Is it worth watching?

I'm hip with the gays, and all, but I generally don't like watching the actual nuts-and-bolts of it.

Is Hal a Sparta virgin?

On this the rest of the Achaeans with one voice were for respecting the priest and taking the ransom that he offered; but not so Agamemnon, who spoke fiercely to him and sent him roughly away. "Old man," said he, "let me not find you tarrying about our ships, nor yet coming hereafter. Your sceptre of the god and your wreath shall profit you nothing. I will not free her. She shall grow old in my house at Argos far from her own home, busying herself with her loom and visiting my couch; so go, and do not provoke me or it shall be the worse for you."

S

Oh, they went on the water...
They sank and they drowned...

Sorry for the pointless posts, but I promised ya some Sparta.

Has Hal hit sparta this week?

"Sons of Atreus," he cried, "and all other Achaeans, may the gods who dwell in Olympus grant you to sack the city of Priam, and to reach your homes in safety; but free my daughter, and accept a ransom for her, in reverence to Apollo, son of Jove."

I wish I could stay through Sparta. Sadly, I must go. Big marketing push today ... got to get some work here so I can have a job!
Warm regards, bloggers!

#245 - one of the first earliest churches I went to was a little Baptist church. It was fine until I was about 12 and started asking questions. I have steadily moved away from western religious teachings ever since and have been exploring more eastern thought and teachings.

Hey Hal! Put your rapture helment on!
