Frogs are looking forward to the feast.

These were too old to fight, but they were fluent orators, and sat on the tower like cicadas that chirrup delicately from the boughs of some high tree in a wood. When they saw Helen coming towards the tower, they said softly to one another, "No wonder the Trojans and Achaeans endure so much and so long, for the sake of a woman so marvelously and divinely lovely. -The Iliad of Homer, tr. Samuel Butler, 1898

When women on The View blame the infestation on Climate Change we can all once again assume they've never read two books between them?

It’s kinda bad to put Helen, so marvelously lovely, in the same post as those ignorant ugly *****es. ;^)

The face that launched a thousand ships vs View Bimbos who launch a thousand grimaces?

I have “cookie bite hearing” I am good with highs and lows, but mid-range sucks. Just so happens that is the range of most women's voices. I made the doctor give me a note for my wife, seriously.
