This thread is great!

always thought trojan was a funny name for a condom.

the trojan horse was designed to smuggle the little soldiers in so they could break out and infiltrate the city...which is precisely what a condom shouldn't do.

but the name is not Trojan Horse. it's Trojan. you know, the legendary warriors who stood up against Ulysses and the ancient Geeks

Yeah, but they the trojans were failures.  Their city fell.  And was properly sacked, as it should be.

is it a failure by committing one's trust to a gesture of friendship? or is it really the Greeks who failed, by committing an insidious deception, the likes of which are forbidden, to this day, by the Geneva Convention.

What did they do?  What deception?  Are you talking about the horse?

You know... That thing with the wooden horse and the beach and Troy's gates and Sean Bean in a skirt and sandals ... hmmmm ... he is so very amazing.

I am starting a Sean Bean fanclub. He was freakin' AWESOME as Boromir. I cried like a baby when he died. Still do. sniffle.

And he even made the Greek deception seem not quite so underhanded.

The horse. the horse, of course. modern military parlance clearly defines such a thing as Treachery, similar to sending an ambulance into a war zone to pick up casualties then opening the back and out pops a heavily-armed infantry squad.

on top of that, the horse was sent in among civilians.

I like the ambulance idea.  Okay, I'll do it!

Thanks for the plan.

You know, they just might.  I imagine that an androgyne army would be quite cheeky and unprepared for actual battle...

The brilliant androgynes we are, unprepared for battle?! Perish the thought! No, we'd arrive, maybe get beaten up a bit (but just a little bit. Maybe a bitch-slap here, a spanking there, nothing too serious), and then proceed to comprehensively twirl the enemy to death. Or into a state of dizziness so severe that they can't continue fighting. (See technical battle strategy diagram below for further details^*).

               
               
               



And I think you may be on to something there, Rebis. The Trojan Horse...The Rebis Ambulance. Sounds almost like the name of a Michael Crichton book or something, The Rebis Ambulance.

So they pop out and do the Michael Jackson Thriller dance?

It'd be a *thrilling* war then, wouldn't it?

And
a) It was the closest I could find to Pica's beautiful twirl, and
b) I'VE HAD COFFFFFFFFFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I'd run from an army doing thriller.
