I’m a former English teacher. You don’t need to be an English teacher, however, to know THE ILIAD AND THE ODYSSEY ARE TWO DISTINCTLY SEPARATE STORIES.

This lying fuck did a wikipedia search of “the classics” and wants smart people points for name-dropping THE WRONG FUCKING NAME.

He hasn’t read either. At best he’s seen a bunch of bleached Hellenistic statue avatars on the internet and nodded along to their RETVRN prattling. biggus-dickus

Ever meet that annoying kid in grade school that said “I am very smart. I know that E Equals Em Cee Squared!” young-sheldon Fifty years later, one of those became my-hero

      That comes from the same jagoff that said chess was too simple for him because there’s no “fog of war” and he prefers some specific bibeo bame instead. Like any insufferable “smarter than you” tryhard on the playground, he won’t actually play you in chess to prove it’s too simple for him, though.

    • how else can a brilliant scholar achieve the coveted Pizza Hut BOOK IT! goals, which is above even the MacArthur Fellowship in renown and international prestige?

      who has time to read words on a page when you can have a speaker on in a room while you play League of Legends and call it multitasking? my brain is too powerful to focus on some cringe shit like literacy. anyway, The Illiad was about some guy with good XP/min and controlled his creep line. he did some 360 no scope shit and was like “gg”.
