this one's for the guys

..... so when I say that Freema Agyeman is pretty.....

Really!? You think so? She's pretty but has no appeal.....

yup, very pretty. "appeal"? I guess I am not sure what you mean when you say that. For me, appeal means or has connotation of desire. My wife is appealing and desirous to me, but no other woman has that kind of draw. I am guessing that you have a different perception.

In your world, household, marital relationship is it off limits to say things like she is pretty, looks good, etc. ?

Last weekend we were watching the 300. I was surfing the net at the same time and missed a few scenes. I heard Wendy say nice! I looked up and say Leonitas naked, rear view. What was that about?

More specifically I said niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice in a sarcastic manner. I was surprised at the sudden nudity.

So basically the beginning premise for this thread is naught.

I knew Wen was being sarcastic but the thread is not a moot point. I guess some guys are comfortable and some guys are not.

Then why ask what it was about if you knew?

[curiouspk]

Pardon me for asking, but who or what is a Leonitas?

I don't watch much on TV.

He is the main character in the movie 300. It's about a group of 300 Spartans who stood up to the entire Persian army in order to inspire the rest of Greece to take a stand. It's a good movie, but not a family one.

OK. If the name had been spelled correctly I would have recognized it.

Leonidas I
Leonidas (Greek: Λεωνίδας; "Lion's son", "Lion-like") was a king of Sparta, the 17th of the Agiad line, one of the sons of King Anaxandridas II of Sparta, ...

BTW. . . Other of the Greek City-states also were involved in the battle, although the Spartans formed the core of the defense. The Athenian fleet attacked the Persian fleet as it lay at anchor and prevented much of the Persian army from being landed on shore. According to legend, Leonidas visited the Oracle at Delphi prior to the battle. He was assured of a Spartan victory, but it would come at a price, his own death. He died in the battle, but the Spartans did prevail. While the movie might be great entertainment, from the previews that I have seen they took a great deal of liberty with the historical facts of the battle.

Yes I spelled it incorrectly and if you had actually known then you would have realized no matter how I spelled it considering I said the 300.

FQ,

I honestly did not make a connection between your statement that you were watching the 300 and the fact that you were watching the "movie" The 300. For all I knew, or cared, you could have been watching an auto race, there are many NASCAR and Indy races that use the number 300 in their titles. As for the misspelling of Leonidas name I would have no more reason to make a connection between Leonitas and the Battle of Thermopylae, than I would in making a connection between Denny and Cedar Ridge.

Your remark about, "if you had actually known," would seem to imply that I did not in fact know anything about the history of the battle. If you actually knew me, you would know that I am a student of history, in particular military history. I said that I saw some previews for the movie, they were so far off of the reality of the way in which the ancient Greeks fought that I promptly decided not to waste my time and money watching that movie, and forgot about it.

I ask an honest question, and gave an honest response to the answer. I can not help the fact that you misspelled the name of a historical figure, gave no point of reference other than a number, which BTW should have been written "The 300" if you were referring to the title of the movie.

[Ilovebigcats]

No actually... I am not a butt person.

[Full Quiver]

TW, I have no intentions of ruffling any feathers. If I have done so please forgive me. I apologize!

[PastorDaniel]

tmi.... just, tmi!

This is what happens when you come on a thread that is labeled "for the guys"

[Jamais Vu]

which BTW should have been written "The 300" if you were referring to the title of the movie.


TW

Which, actually, is still wrong considering the movie title is "300".
