    "Sing, O goddess,...Achaeans.

    The first line of the Iliad, with modifications:- "reedy wrath" was pathetic - something like "impotent wrath" would have been better (an additional level, a hint of my waning sexual potency?); "reedy-thewed Bob" was better, but the repetition of reedy shows a paucity of imagination._

    From you? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: No, never._ Sheesh, try to think, here! It is self-evident there was no implication that you could not quote Homer, it was you who introduced him. But let it pass, let it pass.

    Yes, *do* try to think here. You're whinging because I gave "Yer stoopid!" no more thought than it deserves.

      It is not gramatically awkward. It's a stiletto (and it's multi-layered, which is something I like -- it's far more humorous than the original); one isn't required to use a mace at all times.

        Do you now? If you look closely, you'll see that you're missing yours. :-D

        I'm on to that old trick. I look at the floor to find my hat and you try to steal my point while I'm distracted.

                Perhaps the soap slipped his mind?

                  I'm not Tim Craig: and he merely implied that your posts are pointless, not "Yer stoopid". It was this[^] that you took as being a "Yer stoopid". Otherwise why go to the trouble of paraphrasing Homer, other than to show how "unstoopid" you are?

                      Why would you presume that I'd ever bend over even in your thoughts and day-dreams?

                        I didn't. You brought it up. And Josh fleshed it out (so to speak.) Then I threw up.
