I wonder what percentage of these folks concerned about their culture have ever read a Mark Twain novel or could tell you who wrote Rhapsody in Blue.

This of course it wrong. The Spartans were not carrying their underwear. They were carrying the leather strap (τροπωτῆρα) used to connect the oar to the thole pin on their boat, which they would need for the boats on the other side. Why is Google doing this to us?!?

"The term "rowlock thong" combines two unrelated concepts: a rowlock (a brace that holds an oar in place on a boat) and a thong (a type of underwear or swimwear). Therefore, "rowlock thong" likely refers to a specific type of thong that is designed for water activities…. "

I also remember when we had big professional labs where they knew your name, could make a gorgeous b&w print, and you would rub shoulders at a light table with the best shooters in town while waiting for an e6 job to finish. Those really were the days.
