Battle on Xena...
50 Things I am Not Allowed to Do in Ancient Greece.

5. I will not take out a life insurance policy on Iolaus.
6. I will not taunt the Gauls.
7. I will not fling dildos at Amazon villages.
8. I will not fling dildos at Hestian virgins.
9. I will not attempt to teach the Roman soldiers how to sit in a skirt.
10. Any resemblance between Eli and Jesus is entirely coincidental.
11. Any resemblance between Hercules and Fabio is entirely coincidental.
12. I will not mention the laws of physics.

17. I will not command the Briton villagers to “build me a henge.”

21. I will not send Dahak the Evil Overlord List.
22. I will not give a magic eight ball to the Oracle at Delphi.
23. Crucifixes are not religious symbols.
24. Giving ham to the Green Egg Men* is not funny.
25. I will not insist that the Macarena is a sacred Amazon ritual.

36. I will not put The Pinch on people just to ask them: “Cake or death?”

45. I will not ask the Furies for a lap dance.
46. When mounting Argo, I will not cry: “To the Batmobile!”
47. I will not use Gabrielle’s staff for sexual purposes.
48. Ancient Greece and the Shire are two very different places. Really.
