eg. “Is that your myrmidon?” “Yes, that myrmidon belongs to me.”*

Beats myrmidian, I guess. Does kinda suggest gills or something, though, dosen’t it?
Turing test word: word
Yo!
All your myrmidon is belong to Jeff.
Boy, do I have egg on my face?!!
That should be “All your myrmidon are belong to Jeff.”
Rookie mistake.
i once shot a myrmidon in my pajamas…
I once shot on a myrmidon in my pajamas. But in my defense, she was doing a lot of rubbing.
gP, I hope you didn’t donate those pajamas to charity and take a tax writeoff.
Because the shooting is gross, but tricking some poor schmuck into wearing them afterward, well, that’s just wrong.
And then profiting from it. That’s just even wronger.
This topic just makes me want to join an expedition against Troy. When’s the next plane to Asia Minor leaving?
Your humor is your Achilles heel, Robin.
Could you please leave your myrmidon at the gate, the dogs are out and I don’t think Jeff would like the mess.
You say potayto, I say potahto
You say myrmidon, I say toady
potayto, potahto, myrmidon, toady
Let’s call the whole thing off!
First muscular flanks, and now this. I think I shall go reread my Mary Renault collection.
“So Alexander quotes the Myrmidons and it is Patroclus he plays while Hephaistion strokes the inside of his thighs, first soft, then harder when Alexander traps his hand. It is as it always has been, for Alexander wants no mastery in this, and demands none. His mother made him prove his valour in anger once, yet for Alexander that is one time too many. The act of love is sweet between friends, and Hephaistion will be there to keep the grief at bay. “
“Monongahela” particularly when Bullwinkle the Moose is saying it.
You know, I just watched Troy last night. It was bad. I could not get past the men having french braids for one, and about 10 minutes into it I was wishing I had starting playing that drinking game where every time you hear a word you take shot. Because they said “the gods” about 45 times, so it would have been fun.
And speaking of muscular flanks, Brad has them, but he still doesn’t do anything for me. Maybe it’s because I have seen him on too many interviews. Looks will fade, but stupid lasts forever.
For some reason I’ve had this naggging curiosity in the back of the brain – what happened to Brad and Jen? I won’t take the time to read US or People or whatever … someone have a snapshot of the unadulterated truth?
Spam buster: “what”
EXACTLY!
Brad Pitt is not attractive. And myrmidon is one of my favorite words ever. One of them there ten cent words.
As for Brad and Jen, I keep seeing Angelina-someone-help-me-lift-my-lip-off-the-floor-Jolie connected with Pitt in the checkout line at Publix. (Hmmmm. I’ll just leave that last sentece like that.) So I think that Wife’s Nightmare had something to do with it. Call me silly but if she’s even in the same time zone with my husband I don’t want to know about it.
Now you want to talk about kryptonite? She’s it.
What the hell would “I Love Lucy” have been like without Ethyl Myrmidon?
