Wednesday wantonly wails weirdly written "Walrus was Waddling West" workbook while weaponizing waffles with whipped warheads.

I did not expect that!

Menelaus, "Wrath of the People", a king of Sparta. Husband of Helen of Troy, prominent in the Iliad and Odyssey. He would respect the old ways, wouldn't he. Assuming it is the same man.

How has Urja failed exactly? She knows (through Minion Master) that she has Sam and Sylvia incapacitated upstairs, It's just a matter of going up there and finishing the job. And considering how she took down Vistuvious with relative ease, that's a pretty harsh judgment.

(Yay for Tweety. Also, LOL!)

That was unexpected, but careful Tweety. We already know how quickly Vryko vamps can go from showing respect to absolute dedication to annihilating you and your kind.

She's unable to complete the task herself with her entire team dead-dead and herself in such terrible shape, pinned down by kusari, basically in need of rescue herself. (But yes, a waste to off her. Just give her smaller responsibilities! Lol. Stupid vamp honour rules. Maybe they should outsource their HR department.)

Tweety was unexpected, yeah. Hope she tries pumping him for info before leaving. She IS black ops, after all!

Somehow I don't think Tweetyjerkjerk will be getting much more information. Granted, she likely has enough information to go on given that Menelaus has openly mentioned "The Old Ways", and that she is a "Fey Creature".

The real question is, how long until Bun-Bun gets involved with all of this?

Well, *most* of them are. Then again, "killed" doesn't mean "gone" there...

Looks like this is indeed the old-school Menelaus (when Pete named him last week I suspected, but this seems to confirm it -- or at least that he's really old).

Yes, really old. Menelaus was the husband of Helen of Troy, and a central figure in the Trojan War. The ancient Greeks believed the Trojan War happened in the 13th or 12th century BC..

And Philinnon must be even older.

I know a lot of people named Peter.
And Cindy.
And Frank.
And Sarah.

Lol. Pete likes naming people after old historical people, but that's no reason to assume that it's the same person.

If Helen of troy was "the face that launched a thousand ships", then I propose that we define a basic metric unit for physical beauty: the millihelen. A millihelen is defined as the amount of physical beauty required to launch one ship.

Love the 'Tweetitude'!

They better hope she doesn't get her hands on some rope, given how good she's got at tying people up.
