That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for May 07, 2020

Okay, who’s going to be the first to say “Great Moments in Phallic Portraits”? Oh, it’s me.

Proof that Nestor was the inventor of bleach.

And he didn’t create it for clothing.

Nestor really like to show off his, um…sword.

Everyone could see Achilles had a weaker area apart from the heel.

Watch where you’re pointing that sword, mister.

“I have to keep my sword this way. I don’t want people to know how ‘happy’ I am.“

Where was he hiding that during the security check…?

And here we have Percius modeling the very latest in high fashion condoms guaranteed to drive women right into your bed.

“I have nothing to hide – nothing at all.”

how they covered things up back in the days before they could blur things out in porn pics…

“Here, wipe that drool of your chin”

I don’t care how you, er, dressed for Zoom meetings, the quarantine is over and you have to wear clothes again, Achilles.

When they tell you you gonna get your butt whupped, get naked! Scares the hell out of ’em.

Just another weekend in South Beach, Miami.

Hey! When it’s cold there’s shrinkage!

I see it’s skins vs togas

..and when the hero undressed/ all agreed that he’d passed the test !/ With this exhibition/ he’d met ev’ry condition/ to buy an abode on Key West.

Why is the bearded guy sitting next to Nestor wearing a red dress? That combined with Achilles being naked gives the whole painting a weird vibe.

“wipe your nose already, Nestor. Have you no self-awareness?”

TSA Basics 101.

“Why, yes, I can wear my sword an inch and a half to my right. Why do you ask?”

Try and pull that sword from his scabbard and he’ll cut off his nose!

Nestor holds auditions for a “sword” fight contest against the Spurtin Spartans. “NEXT!”

(I don’t care if there was no connection in place or time between Sparta and Nestor. Great comedy knows no such bounds. And neither do my Comments!)

Deals off, you’ve come up short.

Red toga to gold toga guy, “Dude, I think we can take these guys…”

Achilles, at the siege of Ilium, / Told the Greeks they could believe in him! / “Those Trojans will scram / From my battering ram.” / Even so, some snickered at seeing him.

The local tailor modeling the Emperors new clothes.

Thusly Nestor learned that, when it comes to swords, size really does matter.

Achilles used his xiphos to cover a multitude of sins…

Nestor was too old to fight in battle himself. Nevertheless, he warned Achilles that although he thought he was invincible, it might not be a great idea to go into battle nude.

“An interesting start to the fashion show. It could only get better from here.”

Not a “Great Moment in Phallic Portraiture”?

Not offended, amused. I thought your sword would be longer.

This is my ‘sword’. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My ‘sword’ is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

Without me, my ‘sword’ is useless. Without my ‘sword’, I am useless.

phil and ben(siting) were ready to see archis ’s tool behind his dagger but it the dagger was twice as long,, poor Archie.

Excuse me, do you have any grey poupon?

“I never knew you were Jewish, Achilles.”
