Yes, indeed, all too true! But then again, that's why we read and write fictional stories, yes? 8-)

:shock: :shock: :shock: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Seriously, man, you really are trying to cause my demise, aren't you?! Because that clip assuredly makes me feel like I could die, albeit in the most sublimely wonderful way.... 😍🔥
Most likely HBB would suggest a change to the wardrobe, going back to the actual clothing provided to Greek boys during training.
I do understand why you would predict such, but rest the assured that I am far more spontaneous and imaginative than that!💯😜 As a matter of fact, I was thinking of some "costumery" reminiscent of the examples below, though who says there must be anything worn underneath, right? ;)

(Disclaimer: Much as I love the fourth image, I'm not personally the biggest fan of the gas-mask itself. Also, that specific costume might actually be better for an "enforcer" or "disciplinarian" type character; for example, who might "punish" the loser of any particular combat match! Uh-oh... :shock: :twisted: )

One of the many stories in my head involves a psychiatrist, exploring through hypnotic past life regression, the past lives of several patients.
One of the patients will recall being a youth during the Roman times. I hope that boy has a nice master who doesn't discipline too harshly.
I'm also consider the kid to be the son of a rich lady who has a house full of servants. Will that boy treat the servants nicely???

I'm hoping to get to that story soon, but I have so much going on. Help...I need a secretary...
