History of Western Civilisation - Wednesday 5th Period: Discussion 3: Greek Politics and War

[prof-methos.livejournal.com]

All right, class. I've received a few death threats for the way I treated the Peloponnesian War in the last class... which is to say, I didn't. If you care... good for you. I don't.

So, now we're going to talk about Greek Politics and War. That is only slightly an oxymoron.

Your homework, due next Tuesday but turned in to this post is to give me at least one hundred words craftily cut-and-pasted, possibly from here on some aspect of Greek political life. Go.

[[OCD threads are up! Go ahead.]]

"Hormonal," Ten says, and leaves it at that. "Sucks, as I said. Geoff told me to come back when I was old again. Well, not in those words, but yeah. He was all responsible and shit...which is really too bad."

His voice has dropped slightly, and he moves a little closer. "...And since when are you mature or responsible either, old man? Do tell. Especially since you like to watch men kissing." He's tempted to holler it down the hall--'Doctor Pierson likes to watch men kissing', but eventually the Time Lord part of his mind overcomes the hormonal imbalance.

"See, this is why I like older men. They actually *listen* to what I say." Methos shakes his head and tsks. "I said -- quite clearly, I thought -- that I had no interest in seeing you and Geoff kiss."

"I've picked things up from living with the Speech Comm professor. One of them is tonality and another is non-verbal communication." The smirk on his face has gotten even wider.

Leaning in, he whispers in Methos' ear, very, very quietly ((in an NFB way)), "Besides, I 'quite clearly' remember you liking it the last time you did see it. Not to mention when you were on the receiving end. So if that's changed, pity for you, then..."

Pulling away, he raises a brow.
