Taking yet another jump in my pile of random scrolls, we have the adventures of Mighty Thor (feat. Hercules of course).  Sure Odin was raising hell, literally and figuratively and Olympus lay in ruins. But regardless of what is happening in the immortal realm, the mortal realm had it going on. I mean, let’s take a look at the venue for this. Downtown bar, tons of mead, one metric ass-ton of wenches. That sounds to me like there was going to be some jungle boogie happening all night. Even the mild mannered bar guys were drooling over Hercules’ rippling physique and fantasizing about spending an hour alone with him (no really, look it up).  Admit it, you would admire that as well.

It’s too bad its hard to find bars that serve beer in actual pewter steins anymore, but man would that be popular for the frat boy posers of this era. Which brings me to my point, the Greek communities in college today are mere remnants of the what an ancient Greek fraternity must have been like, party wise. True, we still have beer/wine. Yes there are always several donkey carts full of wenches. But how often do you see guys going to a toga party in full battle gear, demanding beer or get a battle axe to the face. Those guys probably partied in the Parthenon, chugged out of goat intestine beer bongs, and went streaking over to Rome.

Heck, their greatest known philosophers were just party animals.  We definitely don’t have those any more, and no, modern day philosphers are just complete tools.  I say we tell the Greek nation to get back to their roots, go build up some marble statues, crush some wine with your feet, and perhaps inappropriately touch a boy or two. It’s all part of the college experience.  If Thor and Hercules were here, they would set this party off right.

Also, they just talk wayyy cooler than people do nowadays. You have to actually think about the words coming out of your mouth. Ya dig?
