From "Ancient History Encyclopedia":
Homer describes Troy as ‘well-founded’, ‘strong-built’ and ‘well-walled’; there are also several references to fine battlements, towers and ‘high’ and ‘steep’ walls. The walls must have been unusually strong in order to withstand a ten-year siege and in fact, Troy fell through the trickery of the Trojan horse ruse rather than any defensive failing.
On the eve of this TROJAN war, we must resolve that we will NOT fall by means of trickery again. We must NOT be lured to our demise by any "horses" sent our way in the form of praise, acknowledgement of accomplishments, potential national rankings, etc. We must remain strong. We must remain focused. We must execute the battle plan and fight to the end. The wall has been built. The wall is strong. We must stand on that wall, defending it with all our might. We must, as the supporting members of the TROJAN Army remain committed, unified, and LOUD. We can influence the outcome. We can win the war. If we do these things WE WILL WIN THE WAR!
And so, with mighty warriors clad in strongest armor and well prepared to receive the lot dealt by fate, the contest is at hand. And the commander's spirit, ranging for revenge, shall, in a monarch's voice, cry "HAVOC!!", and let slip the dogs of war.

Ho realize most clown on board like to pretend they something they already not but try to combine ancient TMTDM with Bill Shakespear amd Roman Empire is stretching boundary of historical truth.
1. Most loser at TMTDM not know who Bill Shakespeare or Junius Caesar is; if they not know who Osi Umenyoira is, how they know who Mark Antony is.
2. The Roman Empire has nothing to do TMTDM...in fact, it way after ancient TMTDM
3. Football not invented for another 1880 year after Fall of Roman Empire
4. Ho like to always point out, Troy lost the war
5. Not everyone like to play Dungeon and Dragon
Ho get effort but TMTDM better off letting thing unfold organically than manufacture something out of thin air although Dear Leader like to that or copy somebody else idea all time.
How about just get fired up for football game and not get all jizzed up acting out secret fantasy and making wife get all dressed up with you. Mr. Ho prefer leaving Mrs. Ho out of all fantasy and goto file although most clown on board not talk with female without having to give credit card number over phone.
See you at kick-off boys and don't talk to me.

Obviously, Mr. Ho didn't study Classics under Dr. Agnew. According to Virgil's Aeneid, Rome was founded by Trojans, Even Alexander The Great stopped at the site of ancient Troy and offered sacrifices.

Ho just read all books like Chinese he read word up and down...not left to right so he get confused sometime except when USC song girl dress up in their little clothes and then MS HO pour hot egg drop soup on him

How about just get fired up for football game and not get all jizzed up acting out secret fantasy and making wife get all dressed up with you. Mr. Ho prefer leaving Mrs. Ho out of all fantasy and goto file although most clown on board not talk with female without having to give credit card number over phone. See you at kick-off boys and don't talk to me. One thing i like about Ho, he always tries to keep things grounded in reality. Sometimes it's HIS reality, but who's quibbling. I offer this response to him because it's 6:30 AM, the games haven't started yet and I'm up waiting for three grandkids to pile out of bed. I, therefore, need to get the juices flowing. With that said, here goes. 1) I do know who Shakespeare, Julius Caeser, Mark Antony and Osi Umenyora are. I also know who Ronnie Shelley, Arrid Gregory, Mareno Philyaw, Nick Colbert, and Jimmy McClain are. I even know who Gerald DeBaratalaben and Matt Huercamp are. I've seen all these members of TMTDM play except for Shelley, and his son and mine played baseball together as kids. 2) The Roman Empire does indeed have nothing to do with TMTDM, either ancient or current. When seeking to inspire others to give uncommon effort to achieve uncommon results, one often uses what will work. I'm sure that he last time Ho wanted to inspire his Kung Pow Chicken chef to improve the quality of the dish, his speech wasn't focused solely on the yard bird. 3) True, but neither was expensive 20 y/o scotch and Ho likes to link it with TMTDM football. 4) Again true. That's why I wrote "we must not be lured to our demise". We are out to change history, not repeat it. 5) What is Dungeons and Dragons? I'm glad Ho appreciated the effort. I, like him, am getting fired up for the football game. That's the issue. I'm too fired up to just patiently wait. I had to do something. Personally, I think the cool refreshing alcohol Ho posted a photo of in another thread last night poisoned his brain and made him grumpy. Here's to hoping he feels better by game time. After all, I'd hate for him to be grumpy when we mash the Smurfs into that insidious blue turf.

It's not?
Oh well, pushing back now. 4F has got a nice comfy new seat. Cry whatever it is you want, I'll be crying if we don't pack a win for the trip home. See you girls at the game.
