pyrrhic victory

I just couldn't resist the urge to say it.

Really, I read the copy.

Most of it.

And I already had the helmets saved.

 

hey, if my mother can say it that way, so can I

 

Im not sure thats where soused writer was going, E9

 

If you ever want to start a fight, describe someone as being "niggardly"
Words are fun.

 

I used to argue with an NFL writer who wanted to throw 10-cent words into every story. He said, "We should send them to the dictionary at least once."

Right, I said. Everybody goes to the dictionary.

That said, I think these kinds of words and phrases have limited value IF the context they're used in and the subsequent writing explains what you're talking about without them actually have to know the meaning coming in, if that makes sense.

 

They can make a grown man snigger, yes.

 

Best to mix classical allusions and metaphors together so as to confuse/alienate reader. With helmets:

HERCULEAN TASK
Colts slay Chowder-breathed Cyclops; Indy to face Hydra-headed Chicago defense as Manning's Sisyphean struggle to steal the Hesperedian Super Bowl Apple continues
Peyton: 'Rex sucks Minotaur cock and Chicago stinks worse than the Augean stables. If I beat those navy-tuniced Ganymedes, I'll be getting more pussy than Dionysus at a Saturnalia, byotches!'

 

irish, that's good work outta you.

 

Thanks. I was far too productive this morning at my job, so I decided to do penance by pissing away five minutes on that.

 

Five minutes? That looked like it took at least six.

You, good sir, are a model of design efficiency. Though I am docking points for the lack of a cutout.

 

I was going to take an actual photo of Manning sucking Minotaur cock, Photoshop Grossman's face onto it and then do a cut-out, but it would have taken too long.

 

I think that was Eli anyway.
