I may be providing outdated information so if others are more informed please correct me. Despite (or maybe because of) many years of riding a bicycle everywhere I have never ridden a motorize bike of any kind. However I do have a friend who is a long time (35+ years) motorcyclist. His word of cauti...

Sincere thanks! Btw, how sad is this? I clicked on the birthday thread so I could extend belated birthday wishes to those I missed (since these days I only manage to get here a few times per week) ... completely forgetting that today was my birthday. Age is not being kind to my already limited facul...

So... ...does the win mean the USA team moves on? Or must we await other Group C results first? I believe that USA definitely moves on having secured first place in Group C with England moving on as second. (They won as well.) Both England and the US were at 1-0-2 but we finish first based on goal ...

Dienekes' Pre-Battle Speech
[pandering]Thanks, lucimay, that was very nice of you![/pandering] All in good fun here at KW. Anywhooooo ... continuing: The men called for Dienekes. They wanted a quip, a wisecrack, something short and pithy as he was known for. He resisted. You could see he did not wish to speak. ‘Brothers, I am ...

The strongest people I have had the honor of meeting in this life have all been women. For the wonderful women of the Watch: “’The city speculates and guesses’, Leonidas resumed, ‘as to why I elected those I did to the Three Hundred. Was it for their prowess as individual men-at-arms? How could this...

Sarge: Taking a pet to be put down was always one of my duties. Difficult as it was I was also grateful in a way. I wanted to be there to show the animal as much love as possible in the hopes that it made things easier for them. (Most) pets bring such an invaluable contribution to a home. Condolence...

Xeos on the Nature of Kingship
Good point regarding the spoiler tags, Zarathustra. I just wanted to be considerate to the people who wish to find out about the book without actually reading any of it. But given the level of appreciation that several contributors to this thread clearly have for the contents, I couldn't help but sh...

Leonidas on the Strength to Face Death
“Death stands close upon us now,” the king spoke. “Can you feel him, brothers? I do. I am human and I fear him. My eyes cast about for a sight to fortify the heart for that moment when I come to look him in the face.” Leonidas began softly, his voice carrying in the dawn stillness, heard with ease ...

Leonidas on the Ticket and the Mindset for Battle
“When a man seats before his eyes the bronze face of his helmet and steps off from the line of departure, he divides himself, as he divides his ‘ticket,’ in two parts. One part he leaves behind. That part which takes delight in his children, which lifts his voice in the chorus, which clasps his wif...

There are so many great touching moments. In addition to the ones mentioned I would add: Brinn's glance down at Covenant as he sacrifices himself to pull ak-Haru Kenaustin Ardenol off the cliff (victory through defeat) Linden straightening Pitchwife's spine (his outer stature finally matching his in...

So did Dolly Parton in Rhinestone, but Im not actually admitting that Ive seen it. LOL! +10. His pecs were put to shame, too. I believe I listed Rocky in my top 5 movies in another thread. Even the cliches worked in that flick. And the unrealistic boxing is of course a non-issue. As I mentioned els...
