Perhaps Mr. Gilchrist needs to examine his personal motivations more closely before he is ready to offer a balanced assessment of Spartan sexual mores and conduct.
Heh.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
The whole "I am going into batle with no armor on! Also, I think leather underpants are awesome -- they breathe so well!!" issue is a big non-starter, for me.
They kind of got it reversed. I've read that the Spartans would often fight wearing leather breastplates (the bronze shield still being their major protection) and au naturel from the waist down. Pity Gerard Butler and David Wenham couldn't be convinced to push for historical accuracy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Also, one of my favorite Onion Point-Counterpoints of all time.
Yeah, that one was brilliant.

I stayed up one too many nights watching The Spartans when I couldn't sleep.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They stripped naked and exercised. They oiled their bodies and combed out each other's long hair.
How many times do we have to say (no homo) before you people will believe it?!?!?

There is something about prefixing "man" to a noun that makes that noun hilarious. For some reason, this does not work with the prefix "girl", but, man-sandals, man-purse, manpris --? Bizarre.
Also, extra poinst for rhyme.

Very cool!!
I was rather bummed last night--I got to the pool about an hour later than I wanted to, and was only able to get in 15 laps before they kicked us all out at 8:00.
::pouts::
I'll bump up my treadmill workouts today and tomorrow to make up for it, and make sure I claim my half-lane at 8:00 on Sunday morning, instead of having to wait 30 minutes like I did last week. I hate having to wait.
