@BeeGuyTravis You should also pick up Christopher Logue's "War Music", which is a truncated interpretation of several books of The Iliad.

@redl3tters Went on a guy's trip for a long weekend and my wife was like, do you guys sit around talking about your wives all weekend?
I said no, we sit around talking about our fathers.
Somehow, to her, this was worse.

Not true. Most men won’t do this. And the ones who do are almost always the could-be-gays.
It’s hard for women to understand how off-limits sexual topics are among men. The boys don’t get together and hash out every detail of a sexual encounter like the girls do. I might mention to a close friend if I slept w a girl, but maybe not, and the conversation never goes beyond surface level.
Guys have more important things to occupy themselves with. Like forgetting birthdays and never asking what each other actually does for a living.

A word of advice for women: Any sexually explicit photo you share with a man who is not your husband will NOT be kept private. He will almost always show it to someone else. Don't be a harlot and you can save yourselves the embarrassment

@GiancarloSopo In all fairness, I'll give you a Greek one that would be controversial today.
George Chakiris playing a Puerto Rican--and winning an Oscar--in West Side Story.
John Leguizamo has so far escaped criticism for the reverse.

I’m sensing “A Mighty Heart” erasure — in which Angelina Jolie played an Afro-Cuban woman.

@JohannesAchill Please provide a translation that fits her stated goal: single word, metered.

Probably the most outrageous mistranslation by Emily Wilson is found in Book XXIV, line 303.
Wilson translates:
"Lying Odysseus replied, 'I will tell you the truth completely.'"
Wilson misrepresents the meaning of πολύμητις.
Murray for example translates this as "of many wiles", which is also a bit misleading. But to translate πολύμητις as lying is outright evil. πολύμητις is reminiscent of πολύτροπον in Book I, line 1.
πολύμητις means to be thoughtful, circumspect, in many ways and in this way cunning.

@Lordweb111 If someone is capable of being a grandmaster and just never tried before or was never exposed to chess, then I think it's quite possible.
Becomes a question of what are the chances of a grandmaster-capable mind never having played chess by 25?

@BiancoDavinci I love how they had to use a very basic brick formation to actually hold it up.

@Garrrry23 @Roothlus Couldn't Keating easily be playing Ace-junk?
Wonder if Palmer was thinking in part he has to call otherwise he's folding a chop.

This hand is just unfair. Keating has the craziest image...of anyone in poker. How do you fold???

@SaltyPlato @centristpeater @spencerpratt You’re retarded!
Anybody that is OK with this, needs to be taken to the dump as well! Not a single reason as to why not. Only that you have TDS and you’re a pussy bitch!

I'm a weird gay chef in Pittsburgh. Here's why you shouldn't vote for Spencer Pratt for mayor of LA:
1. I heard he didn't want strawberry jam on his pastry.

@_QJohnPublic @centristpeater @spencerpratt This isn't going to help man. Maybe you don't care if it helps, but it's not going to help.

@SaltyPlato @centristpeater LA is a complete shit hole and anybody that votes to keep it the same as a complete faggots.
Vote @spencerpratt
That’s fact!
English
@INSEARCHOF250 @centristpeater I mean, I'll take the L on being misled, but you do understand that people have other stuff going on in their lives and aren't always going to double check everything they hear.
English
@SaltyPlato @centristpeater See the liberal media lies to people. Pratt never said he was or ran as a Republican, that's the liberal media pushing their narrative. Life must be so simple to be so gullible.
English
@wrongyetagain @centristpeater I, like many Democrats, would consider voting for him as an independant of sorts--I once voted for Bloomberg--but would never vote for him as a Republican (it'd be in many cases our first time voting Republican and it would be hard to break that streak).
English
@SaltyPlato @centristpeater Actually he’s running as a “community advocate” because independent is a political party and he is trying not to allow connotations associated with political parties to come into play.
English
@mlh_mylife @centristpeater I agree that it doesn't change the fact of what he's actually doing.
But that specific ad is creating that specific impression.
So if he doesn't want that impression, he should do something about it.
It's "unfair", but that's politics.
English
@SaltyPlato @centristpeater I did not see that but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s running as an Independent. Not everyone adheres to a singular party on every issue.
English
@_natalie_1776 @babyYaga4 @centristpeater I'm not listening to him at all because I thought he was a Republican!
Sharing valuable Intel here that if he's not and he doesn't want to be presented that way, he needs to overcome the attack ads.
English
@SaltyPlato @babyYaga4 @centristpeater You’re not listening to him then because he’s been very vocal about it
English
@mlh_mylife @centristpeater He retweeted a prominent attack ad calling him a Republican without correcting.
English
@SaltyPlato @centristpeater The ballot says Independent under his name.
Is wanting to help addicts & make neighborhoods/parks safe a Republican thing? What about holding our elected officials accountable, or exposing fraud? I’m an Independent (former D) but I never thought of any of this as Republican
English
@mlh_mylife @centristpeater If that's true, I, as a resident of LA, have been fooled by the ads, so if he wants to win he should be more vocal about that.

@bbwhatislovee Achilles does not dress as a woman to avoid the war in "The Iliad." This only happens in a later Roman poem called the Achilleid. (Take it up with the Romans.)
In that poem he falls in love with one of the girls he's hiding with and, ahem, makes a baby with her.
