“And when Frigg was making everything promise to leave HER kid alone, I tried to tell her, too; I said, ‘Hey,don’t forget the mistletoe!’ But would she listen? Ohhhhh, no!”
He’s got EVH’s hair, but he’s got Axl Rose’s attitude. “…And I’ll come out of my tent when I’m ( bleeping ) good and ready, not one ( bleeping ) second before!”
I’ve had a copy of “The Iliad” on my read-next stack for about five years now. But there is hope. Last year I finally got to “Beowolf”. But first I must finish “Atlas Shrugged”. That should take me to 2012.

Sea nymph, a Nereid, and sometimes a sea goddess. Why a human?

I’d heard of Achilles, but not Thetis. I know I’m not dead yet because I learned something new today!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Boody as upset about anything in his life as in his death. What a frown.
