ADT (sort of) on screen

Does anybody else watch "Game of Thrones", see the Unsullied (who are eunuchs, for those that don't watch the show), and think "Lupron Army"? In battle shouldn't they be weak, quick to fatigue, and prone to broken bones? Why don't all of us here without testosterone form our own elite army for hire?

These are the questions I ask to distract myself from an impending bone scan.

p.s., it seem the answer to my questions is that castration at an early age is an entirely different thing, but let's not let that little fact keep us from having a bit of humor :-)

Haha, Tom. Eunuchs unite! Good luck w the bone scan...

I watched the show the other night. Someone asked, "what do you say to the god of death?" The reply was "not today!"

Tom,

We can not be the Unsullied.....they are young and we are old.... that said, keep their fighting spirit inside you and best of luck on the bone scan... just picture the beach in Naath where Grey Worm and Missandei are relaxing...share some wine with them...as Tyrion proved--they are easy to drink under the table... have fun but remember what Syrio Ferrel said... "Not today !!"

I loved the "Not Today" quote even before I had cancer! The bone scan was awesome. I'm down to just a few warm spots you could probably count on one hand (I didn't try), and the oncologist said they could be bone healing (the scan just detects activity, not specifically cancer).

Even better, I asked if the term "partial remission" would apply. He looked at my PSA and said "complete biochemical remission". :-)

3 days to replace a bathroom floor? I was going through the Pentagon Papers again for the 43rd time when I saw this old ditty filed under the letter S.

In days of old when knights were bold

and bowls were not invented

they laid their load in the middle of the road

and walked away contented.

Who needs a bathroom floor anyway?

I hope you have a Mexcellent Cinco de Mayo!

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Told brother just a while back I was tired of programs where hero killed people by the dozen. But last Game of Thrones, people were being slaughtered by the thousands. Well, maybe slaughtering undead people doesn't count. They were so busy killing each other, there wasn't even time for any gratuitous sex. What next? I must go sharpen my sword and wait for the next hapless cat who gets to near.

I think HBO missed a great opportunity to push the boundaries further and have a gratuitous undead sex scene.
