ithacan quote(s) of the “day”
These are actually from last week, but I had to save them to share with you, my patient and faithful readers (you little puffballs of glee, you).
Odysseus won the foot race. I have to say, the General is very fast on his feet. Something like fifty guys entered, and it wasn’t even close. You could tell that Odysseus was very pleased. He won a goat and named it Hermes. — Apparently, no one is allowed to eat Hermes.
He went on: “I mean, here we are, attacking Troy. — Building a wooden horse to attack Troy. Troy, Eurylochus! This is fucking Troy! We are fucking Ithacans!”
I think I would buy a t-shirt that said “We are fucking Ithacans!”
Under Odysseus. It’s where the all cool kids are hanging out.

What was (also) only mildly amusing at first is now refreshingly quaint. And I don’t know what that even means. But I like it.

I find your comment mildly amusing.
