Getting my first TKR next month at OrthoIndy. Those Ortho doctors absoutely love pickleball.@snarlcakes ortho buddy just upgraded to the most ridiculous house you’ve ever seen. I said to him wtf happened to you. His answer? Pickleball
Do your PT. I know too many who didn't and are no better off afterwards. Wife has had both knees done-- one 10 years ago and the other 5 years ago-- and is still doing hers on her own.
I haven't seen it yet, but Sinon isn't a "rough and tumble soldier." His entire role in the saga is to be the treacherous asshole who convinces the Trojans to breach their walls for the horse.
Isn't Sinon a character from Aeneid?
@goat I saw your post a page or two after this where you said it was based on Virgil's POV. Then I had to wade through arguments about drapes and soccer.
This thread sucks.
So........do you prefer the curtains to match the drapes?
I'm a fan of hardwood these days, assuming you meant carpet, not curtains.
While were talking about Mediterranean culture, how about those Phoenicians? If it wasn't for them, it would be curtains for everybody!
Hope is not optimism, which expects things to turn out well, but something rooted in the conviction that there is good worth working for. - Seamus Heaney, Irish poet and likely Hoosier basketball fan.

@snarlcakes I think you mean "carpet" not "curtains" and the answer is, I prefer a nice smooth uncarpeted floor.
@bulk-vh I’ve sued both Stryker and zimmer in mdls over failed knee replacements. The component parts come loose. After your unprovoked mean post that’s what I hope happens. It separates about ten months post op
@zeke4ahs it’s bc these pickleball people are old and have done nothing for decades and go from 0 to 60 in a day. All gas no brakes

I'm going to let the dog out of the bag. I'm pretty sure I've f#cked up every common saying there is at this point.
The thread were just picking up some steam when you guys had to start talking about Odyssey again.I haven't seen it yet, but Sinon isn't a "rough and tumble soldier." His entire role in the saga is to be the treacherous asshole who convinces the Trojans to breach their walls for the horse.

Most dangerous sport?
Just saw it. Neither the Romans nor Greeks would have recognized the guilt Odysseus feels in this movie.I haven't seen it yet, but Sinon isn't a "rough and tumble soldier." His entire role in the saga is to be the treacherous asshole who convinces the Trojans to breach their walls for the horse.
Isn't Sinon a character from Aeneid?
Correct. Whereas the Greeks thought Odysseus' cunning spoke well of him, the Romans despised it. To them, the story of Troy was the story of how deceitful and treacherous the Greeks are. Sinon played a key role in their treachery by being the one who was left behind to trick the Trojans into bringing the horse inside the walls.
(Nolan's themes revolving around Odysseus' feelings of guilt and penance seem to be directly informed by Virgil more than Homer.)
It's a good movie. IMAX was worth it.
