Rather than outtakes, now we’re on to deleted scenes – only virtually produced scenes which metaphorically hit a non-existent cutting room floor. And with good cause, probably?
And I really don’t know whether I should pat me on the back for valiantly resisting making this particular stupid pun within the plot…when I still ended up publishing it in this form. Well, perhaps it justifies a very light pat…
And, yeah…in ancient Rome, there was a type of gladiator referred to as a “scissor”. Gladiators of the same type were rarely made to fight each other, but if it had happened…you would have had a pair of scissors. And the ancient Romans wouldn’t even have realized how funny that is, because they didn’t speak English. “Par scissoribus” isn’t particularly funny, until you use it as a punchline in a complicated gladiator joke…
Oh, well. I’m sorry, yet kinda not. =P
More on Thursday.
Gladiators: The Condom Twins!
Srsly, y’ever seen the names of condoms? Trojans, Ramses, Pharaohs… you gonna get laid or conquer Egypt?
Why not both? XD
I guess “Trojans” makes sense because the city was supposed to be impregnable. XD As for Ramses and other pharaohs, perhaps the association stems from them being so tightly wrapped up? XD
