Welcome
Ah, I wish. My current projects are a note on a simile in Sophocles' Ajax and a discussion of a pair of emmendations to the text of the Odyssey by Richard Bentley (1662-1774, master scholar (published on Classics, especially Greek, and physics and was royal librarian for a while). I do,though, as you can probably tell, have an interest in the history of classical scholarship. The 1940's were a rough time. Wilamowitz and Housman (of "A Shropshire Lad" fame- his Latin and Greek were even better than his poetry) were dead in the thirties.The Wolf said:A man of refined taste, welcome.
Try to have your term papers involve the Golden Age somehow and your time here can be considered research.
Sincerely,
The Wolf
I'll see what I can dig up.Miss 1929 said:And don't forget to visit "Men of the Lounge"and post your photo and interests...

I buy nearly everything I wear from local thrift stores, we hit several each weekend. I'll get comments about how much my clothes must cost, but have quit telling people "Well...the suit was $6.00, the shoes $3.00, the tie $1.50..." I'll look at a shirt, for example, at the mall, and think: "I can buy TEN shirts for that at the thrift stores!" Not to mention the thrift store stuff is often of better quality and will be unique. The downside is the time you have to spend in the thrift stores, and perhaps a bit of tailoring post-purchase, but it's fun and cheap...how can you argue with that?

They're thirsting for the return to classy dress and a sense of style. My gang of friends keeps growing and we're constantly getting people coming up to us asking us how to "join!" or if they can take a picture with us! The feedback seems to genuinely mean they like the look and we're not just another freak-show.<br>
