Lesbos islanders dispute gay name.

Well. It only took you two and a half millenia.

I can't think of Lesbos without thinking of the fourth season finale of the BBC version of Coupling. *snerk*

I am writing a research paper in a Classical archeaology class right now and all I can think about that paragraph at the bottom (where he claims Sappho was in love with a dude) just makes me want to scream CITE YOUR SOURCES!!!!!!!11111111

Modern Greece... Sigh.

Yeah, my inner historian wants to scream 'Cite or it didn't happen!!' at the last paragraph. And I have a sneaky suspicion this new historical research is just old historical research all gussied up.

*rolls eyes* Modern Greece...just realize that in between begetting your ancestors, your foremothers and fathers had dealings amongst themselves. Pls to be moving on!

I never watched the fourth season beyond a couple episodes because of Lack of Jeff, but I always think of this quote, which is from the 3rd season I think:

"They're like a jam sandwich without the sandwich and just the jam... Actually, lesbians are just a big blob of jam. Well, not really... Unless they've exploded in all the lesbonic excitement."

....Seriously? No really, seriously?!?!

Yeah. That was about what I did.

I know!

When it got to that point in the article I was kind of like, "Seriously? Does it even matter what the actual historical fact was? Let's be for reals, children."

Ya. Srsly.

Well, in the fourth season, Jeff moves to Lesbos, and, in the season finale, Steve has a dream that he's come back, except he looks like one of Steve's old teachers (with "stallion" breasts). He explains his appearance by saying that he had been going through a dry spell and had started to wonder if he'd ever see a woman naked again. "At that point, I may have lost my sense of proportion."

Thus, he becomes a true Lesbian.

I can't decide whether to laugh my ass off or to be all indignant. I'm very torn.
