IGNORE ME!!!

His name was Milo of Kroton.

He was a professional athlete, competing in the Olympic games, among other contests of strength and skill. Carrying the calf was his plan to get better at his business, being an athlete, by building his strength. You could almost say it was his...plan of business.

And of course to be a several-time winner at the Olympic Games you had to do more than be strong. You had to know how to wrestle, for example. No amount of carrying a calf on your back's gonna teach you that. It's almost like any endeavor requires knowledge of and repeated practice in multiple aspects of something.

Anyway, I'm missing the point. What's the calf you're carrying? Posting about making donuts? How's that preparing you for the "time to kick rear end" so you can then "kick a bunch of rear end?"

quote:

Legend has it that such feats were his eventual undoing. His final test of strength came when he was traveling the countryside and met a villager trying to split a stump with hammer and wedges. Milo excitedly asked the man if he could attempt to split the wood with his strength, not using any tools at all. The villager, honored by Milo's offer, went off to fetch food while Milo worked. Milo immediately tried to pull the stump apart by inserting his fingers in the crack where the villager had driven the wedges. As he pulled the stump open, the wedges fell out, trapping Milo's fingers. Without the wedges there to hold the crack open, when Milo tried, he could not free his fingers from the stump. There he waited for the villager to return with food. Legend then says that Milo met his end when wolves, or a lion, took advantage of his predicament and descended upon him.
