C Ancient Greece?? WTFF??? The Romans are a bunch of concrete-developing, butt-slapping football players! The Greeks write poetry! Chuck the Romans!
But it was much better to be a woman in Rome than Greece. Sure, Greece is fascinating, and I've even got a plot bunny for some novels set there, but if you forced me to go live in an ancient culture, I'd pick Rome all the way.
(This is possibly influenced by the fact that when I imagine myself in Rome I'm named Helena Justina and I'm living with Marcus Didius Falco.)
But! Romans! With the whole women getting to have expectations and be people! And a polyglot society! Yeah, very macho culture (not unlike our current one), but still! I need to get vaznetti to come and pontificate...
Though if I had to choose Greece, I'd go Sparta all the way.
(the birds, not the grease. not that you'd have to marry a bird.)
I'm sorry, but I'm not fucking a bird, either. I don't know what you people do down in Texas....
Thanks for the info, Dana!
I wish I had a Chik-fil-a right now. I'm starving but there are no good food options near work.

You might notice how carefully I avoided going there. But NO, Jesse had to go there.

God, really? I suspect I would quickly...what did the Spartans do with useless people? They'd dump me on a rocky hillside and leave me to die of exposure.
I mean, if it's duck fat, that changes the whole equation...
seriously.
Dana's lunch the other day inspired me to make spaghetti & meatballs last night. Just TJ's frozen turkey meatballs and jarred sauce but still. SO yummy. And I have leftovers to eat tonight before I have to go play the rock and roll. With a 19-piece roving brass band with a brokedown chimp for a leader:

OMG! I did not know TJs had frozen turkey meatballs!! mac is going to be thrilled.
Woo, I think I finally convinced someone to go see Gogol Bordello with me!
