Lolmyths

Nom nom nom. In a continuation of classics weirdness in the vein of Minos and the STD from Hell, I bring to you the creation of something brand new: lolmyths.

When a friend of mine in my myth and storytelling class mentioned that today’s case files were about Pelops, my reaction was to go, “Nom nom nom.”

Now, she did know about lolspeak, but just not that I was referring to Pelops being killed and cooked and then served to the gods. When I explained the story the light went on and we had a good laugh through most of the lecture (like we normally do, because that paper is hilarious).

As we were leaving I suggested that I should macro some famous scenes from classical myth. For the lulz, of course. And thus we have Kronos going “nom nom nom”.

I now need to make one from like the Iliad with “epic fail”.

No need to point out I am a geek, peeps.
