Ancients Behaving Badly...

Feb 12, 2010 20:04

HA! Ok, History Channel... we have a problem.
When your geeky looking fool of a psychiatrist claims that he's going to "Look to see if Alexander the Great was a military genius" - well, that shows to any real historian that perhaps you don't know what you're doing...

IF?!Really ( Read more... )

jersey shore-esque fail, full frontal nerdity, historically speaking

I have to confess to being an uncultured thud. No idea it was da-rye-us. (BTW, emphasis on middle syllable?)

Word. I also did not know that.

But me and the history channel got a divorce. I took up with National Geographic and I haven't looked back.

Long live Ehjay.

I saw that. You're much better off with NatGeo, IMO. You & History wanted different things from one another. You wanted actual historical-type shows, it wanted you to STFU & go with its somewhat shoddy programming. It wasn't meant to be.

It's so true. I got custody of History International in the split, so it's fair. No hard feelings.

And Phil gets to keep Alexander, as he clearly appreciates him more than most. =D

fleurdelista February 13 2010, 01:25:02 UTC

Someone once talked me out of buying the movie Alexander. I suspect it was Phil, to keep AtG all to himself.

Ah, a gorgeously filmed study of homoerotic lust. No wait, that was Troy. My Bad. Maybe it was just a terrible movie? I dunno, I haven't actually seen it.

fleurdelista February 13 2010, 01:32:28 UTC

I also did not see Troy. That didn't have Alexander the Great in it though...

You should see it! Manly men. Pretty manly men. With swords. No gods, though, which was disappointing.

The first time I watched Troy, it was from a bootlegged Chinese copy. "A gorgeously filmed study of homoerotic lust" was one of the "reviews" on the cover. No joke.

That is so awesome.

the_epic February 13 2010, 01:59:26 UTC

As awesome as this icon?

fleurdelista February 13 2010, 02:03:17 UTC

There are few things awesomer than that icon. That list includes the holder of that icon (IE: you) and my icon.

the_epic February 13 2010, 02:03:57 UTC

I do love that icon.

fleurdelista February 13 2010, 02:05:13 UTC

It's one of the best things the internet has to offer.

You also know that it comes in T-Shirt form, so you can irritate Twihards IRL, right?

the_epic February 13 2010, 02:07:55 UTC

I NEED IT.
