A dedicAtion to ...

helenAllOfThee!

This post is not about Homo or that Simpson.
It's about the classical The Iliad.
If you have to ask Desi what's dat? you're ain't no fren of mine, no, not nyet mGf!

So what's Desi beating the bush so early in the weak? Normally he's only queer over the wickedend.

So welcome to some history, then followed by herstory, for Desi's a mighty believer in gender equality.

Helen of Troy
The daughter of Leda and Zeus, sister of Clytemnestra, Castor and Pollux (the Dioscuri), and wife of Menelaus, Helen's beauty was so overwhelming that Theseus and Paris of Troy abducted her and the Trojan War was fought to bring her back home.
Helen of Troy Basics
Helen of Troy and the Trojan War were central to the early history of ancient Greece, and the Trojan War cycle was the culmination of many myths about the ancient Greek legendary heroes. Helen is the object of one of the most dramatic love stories of all time and one of the main reasons for a ten-year war between the Greeks and Trojans.
Heroes
Ancient legendary heroes, some of whom may have been deified, especially those from Ancient Greece, like Achilles, Odysseus, Hercules, Perseus, and Theseus, but not including bona fide historical heroes.
Homer
The popular opinion about Homer is that he was a blind bard who composed and recited The Iliad and The Odyssey.

In recent days, my ER who are discerning would have noticed a helenAllOfThee exchanging arrows (Cupid?) and barbs (Cinderalla's stepmum) -- hey, Valentine's Day was long over, and Doomsday is not nigh! -- so why is Desi writHing about?

One fashionista complains Desi writes in riddels, and sometimes kyels gets all LOST in the Fu Rong Maze. and bro Imran gets cuntfused about whether it's the Perthian or Kuala Lumpuh Haze enveloping the B'g, B'd, Wolfish city beholding the tallest twin towers in da worlde.

First off, I request my ER to visit allofhelen.blogspot.com and screnasia.com.sg -- to prevent yourself being tied in knots and riddance by your mysterious hoRst trying to get out speaking in tongue. In chic'!
It was the hoRst of allofhelen.blogspot.com who opened my eyes to a latent gift that Desi never realised he had had for half a century -- speaking with a tongue with a fork in between. You wanna confirm this? RM1million for one peek -- but if you're a dentist like Sabrina Tan hiding somewhere in the LOTR landescape, it's free, followed by lifelong dental treAtment, gratis, befitting a King of desTROY!

Now Desi trying his hand at script writing, 'twas one fatefool Bluesey Mondae moUrn, Desi hAPpened on a helenescapade, and I was intrigued by one so young proclaiming her helenic boldness in standing up in church -- following the cue from her significant Other, is he a Trojan or a Grik? -- when the pastor asked the obedient flock how many of them did not possess the gift of speaking in tongue to stand straight up.

As they say, the rest is herstory.

Her latest Comment definitely inspired this morning's post -- note, 'definitely' is spelt my way, NOT definately, which is how 5 out of 10 Bloggers sperr it! -- 4, I'm enjoying a Blogger's luxury of aggression...ooops, digression. Who says Blogging doesn't pay. Ask sister Y&A hoRst of yvonnefoong.com, and answer her challenge, esp TheYoungOnes: "Write something for us, will you? " dated March 18, 2006, and see your name in The Borneo Post!

Since that defining moment, Desi was besotted -- I hesitated saying 'fell in love' lest some cheeky fellow/fella (mail and femail form of wagging tongue, especially rampant in the Year of The Dog!) think it as the courtly or portly sort. Compare with Desi's being besotted with Max Ehrmann on first reading of his Desiderata in a Reader's Digest once upon a dime.

Sometimes Desi is a confessed bum (I did not have to stand in front of da pastor to do this ...), so it is now Cut&Paste, which I deftly learnt from week 1 of blogging from my most times Mentor Yan -- and now some ipohlang kaypocik based in lundun copiously kopi-es:

DESIDERATA:

NO, helen, Dang! You should have revealed more. Dang! You didn't give away anything. Desi's steal trying hard tpo peep more than into the #diaries (GO read from the Horse's mouth -- "Honesty is Not Always the Best Policy", March 19, 2006.:)

If anyting, it's Desi's giving away that he's a bummer, steal in his teens, and desi and helenAllOfThee 'rite like she's sweetSE7ENteen and Desi's jest came of Age (renaissance man:)!
Seriously, I'm jest over the age of non-dissent -- ask fishtail, we met up not so long ago! And fishtail is not fishy at all, he's above board 21+.


But we all can do #IT anyway
On the Super VIRGO, we'll all sail away
Din and dine on the SE7EN SEAS.
Anyone be fishtail's cabin guest
Or join Desi's mess, or Yan's nest
We'll make it the gre8-est fest
Come December two-oh-oh-s'x
Desi's organising a Bloggers' Bash
Fishtail is negotiating a 100% discount
Failing witch, it's on BPost account!


An ode to helenAllOfThee

I'm headed for Hollywood
I'm inviting thee, if you would
One bull's eye is all we need
And that Bloggers' Bash is our deed

To one Daniel Chan I promise
One play to hit the Big Screen
Moonlighting, or Paradise
Din and dine on the Super Virgo
It's not that Impossible Dream
If flight of beauty from helenALLOFTHEE
Could launch a thousand ships
Hollywood script is jest words and whips
Desi'll give all of me,
My EsteemedReaders, wilt thee, WILL THEE?

PS: the sacred is chongyl2000@yahoo.com to reach Desi,
so helenAllOfThee, will thee write to me?

PPS: For the sequel to today's Post (something Epic that Desi's got in mind),
please visit screenasia.com.sg for a hint;
then wait patiently (for Miss Patience, like HelenOfTroy, is indeed petite and virtuous...) ,
and visit Desi's Place this Sundae for another INTER:LUDE, when that #IT will be undressed in all its naked glory, like that Ursula arising like a mermaid from the sea, in an overall ala Dr No: undress'd.
