Rhuby - I AM impressed! Can't help but wonder how long it took you - and were you at work when you did it?

In reply to:

"I might as well accept it, I just love Greek drama," he said philosophically.

EDIT: Was that too subtle?


Poor wofa had to Aeschylus "ask all us" a second time!

Conversation with a Greek tailor (I'm sure the copyright has _long_ since run out on these) :

"Can Eumenides pants?"

"Sure. Did Euripides?"

"Unfortunately. Alcibiades, so I'll have something to wear in the meantime..."

"I've taken up knitting" Tom intoned in a pearly(purly) voice.
"I like baseball, basketball, hockey and soccer" Tom noted sportily.

"I don't like classical fairly tales" claimed Tom grimmly.

"Wool embroidery is a waste of time" Tom declaired cruelly.

"It was a really great party" Tom admitted bashfully.
