That's the joke, yes.

Okay, that's what I thought.

I liked the reference to 300 - it was cute.

300 didn't make that joke first. I don't know if the comic precedes this, but even if it does, I expect it's an old joke.

You could say that.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Thermopylae

Herodotus writes that when Dienekes, a Spartan soldier, was informed that Persian arrows would be so numerous as "to blot out the sun", he remarked with characteristically laconic prose, "So much the better, we shall fight in the shade." .

Wow, accuracy in a Hollywood epic. Who'd've thought?

(BTW, I haven't seen the film, but I was aware of the fighting in the shade joke for some time).

I like him!
I really like him.
Tear out my fingernails one by one
I like him!

I don't have a very good reason
Since I've been with him cuckoonuts have been
In season!

But there is nothing I can do
Chop me up for onion stew
Still I'll yell to the sky
Though I can't tell you why
That I like him

"Let the regretting begin."

Man, what I would give to have that on a t-shirt by GenCon.

I just got to the part of Herodotus this weekend that has the whole battle and that line too (end of book 7).

Wow. I just saw that musical last week and still have the music stuck in my head. I think I'm going to be humming this song for a while thanks to your post...
