That's Lattimore's translation, a good one although I think I prefer Fitzgerald. But a win all the way around

“Cause I bumped into him and all I had on me was this samurai sword. And you're not gonna not get Randy Jackson's autograph, right?”

Two questions.

Has he read The Iliad?

Can he read The Iliad?

Argh, beat me to it

Does this make the value of the book go up or down?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 minutes ago

Definitely down

Considering it's in the public domain and a paperback, I'm guessing it's not an expensive book and I'm sure there are plenty of wrestling autograph collectors so, despite Hulk Hogan being a giant piece of shit, it probably gained a massive amount of value.

Depends on whether the Hulkster is claiming to have written it or not, brother

Also: is this one or two layers of ignorant, considering the poster misspelled the name of the book he took a photo of?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago

Eh, misspelling is easy to do.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

Correctly spelling things is easy to do as well these days, to be fair.

Autocorrect might spell a word correctly but it might not be the correct word.

I'm sure he'll claim to have given Homer the idea to write it and that the character Achilles is based on him

Last I heard, Hulk Hogan is no longer a heel. BUT he is kind of a racist, homophobic Trump-supporting heel in real life. Maybe that is his Achilles' Heel? Wow, there really are layers to this.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 5 hours ago

He may not be a heel, but he's definitely a shitheel.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

You know it, brother

Didn't Achilles swing both ways?
