    Default 2019 Calendar Theme Idea

    So I've been on a sword and sandal kick lately. Including all the Lou Ferrigno Hercules movies.

    Then I look at the current OOTS calendar and think 12 Labors of Hercules...12 months...nah, Rich has probably thought of that.

    In fact, he probably has a whole file full of jokes involving the Greek Eastern Pantheon.

    But 2019 is coming...and that would be so cool.

    Knowing Rich, he probably doesn't have a file like that. But I love the concept. Why not?

    Ah yes, the Dungeon-Kruger effect.

    Well, they've already killed an hydra...

    I wonder if we can find equivalents to the other works...
    Each one of us, alone, is but a drop in the sea
    Our powers pale compared with the great heroes
    Our battles don’t hit theheadlines or shake the earth
    But they are few, can’t be everywhere, and we, many
    So, when the world or universe needs saving, they come
    But when people needs saving, we are the ones to appear
    We're underdogs, but we rise up to the challenge to be heroes.

    Hmm.

    Nemean Lion--no
    Lernaean Hydra--yes
    Arcadian Hind--no
    Erymathean Boar--no
    Stymphalean Birds--no
    Bull of Poseidon--no, but might have been on the island with the orcs
    Flock of Geryon--livestock rustling is a tad beneath them
    Mares of Diomedes--likewise
    Augean Stables--no
    Girdle of Hippolyta--Rich doesn't do TV-MA
    Golden Apples of Hesperus--no
    Fetch Cerberus--no

    Belkar's been known to cook steaks, at least.

    Well, they did have an encounter involving a certain belt...

    You don't know the non-kiddified version of that one, do you? There's a reason I said TV-MA.

    Yes, I do.
    And I agree we'll never see something as such in OotS.

    I just went for the closest thing we've got about a belt.


    Edit:

    OTOH, we could say Belkar taming Bloodfeast could be the equivalent to fetching Cerberus (unless Belkar goe to Hel and tames Garn - that would be rad)
