When I watched 300

If you frequently reminded yourself
that it was an adaptation of a comic book rather than of ancient texts, the whole shoddy thing was a lot easier to cope with, I found.

I've not seen 300

I laughed
when the Spartans contemptuously called the Athenians 'boy-lovers' in the film. Pot, kettle, black anyone?

While hammered on Friday
I remember lecturing the poor boy I was with on anal sex.

I may have been preaching to the converted.

It was scary
I mentioned smack, and said it was part of the 3 things I'd never do.

One of the people we were with replied with "So, it's smack, anal and what?"

I almost had a fit. HOW DID HE KNOWWWWWW
