Sacred Band of Thebes

An army comprised of 150 pairs of homosexual lovers. The army won every battle until it was finally defeated by Philip of Macedonia and his son Alexander the Great. When Philip saw the lovers dead side by side, he wept and said, "Perish any man who suspects that these men either did or suffered any thing that was base." He then buried them with honor. Plato wrote about their code of ethics.

"If there were only some way of contriving that a state or an army should be made up of lovers and their loves, they would be the very best governors of their own city, abstaining from all dishonour, and emulating one another in honour; and when fighting at each other's side, although a mere handful, they would overcome the world. For what lover would not choose rather to be seen by all mankind than by his beloved, either when abandoning his post or throwing away his arms? He would be ready to die a thousand deaths rather than endure this. Or who would desert his beloved or fail him in the hour of danger? The veriest coward would become an inspired hero, equal to the bravest, at such a time; Love would inspire him." Plato: "Symposium"

sacred heart university

Sacred Heart Univeristy is a small, private Catholic University located on the boarder of Fairfield and Bridgeport. Despite the stereotype of Bridgeport, the area surrounding SHU isn't bad at all- it's actually really safe and you're really close to everything you need, including malls, inexpensive stores, and housing in nice areas that isn't half as expensive as Fairfield. The student body is primarily white, except for a few athletes, and usually come from NJ, NY, Long Island, CT, and Mass. The people are well groomed and usually good looking. You always see a familiar face around, and everyone is pretty friendly to one another- the school spirit is strong. Sacred Heart is a division 1 school in the northeast conference. Going out to clubs and bars can get pretty pricey, considering the most common form of transportation is taxi's/trains and being well dressed is a must, but it's always fun. If you're not so much into the club/bar scene, it's not hard to find a local house party going on. The school is pretty expensive, and the prices of food are ridiculous. Some of the rules are pretty stupid, but if you're decently smart you can get away with anything. The SHUttles take you to the trainstation, mall, grocery store, etc. so you really don't need a car, though it does come in handy. Though it's not an Ivy League school and you don't need to be in the top 5% to get admitted to Sacred Heart, if you don't do your work you won't be able to stay. The reputation of Sacred Heart is a rising one, and the internship/job opportunities they offer are amazing. All in all, if you get your work done you and do well you'll have a good future ahead of you and have a lot of time to have fun, too.

Sacred Toilet dance to the Goddess Urinal

The Sacred Toilet dance to the goddess Urinal is the dance one performs when waiting to use a toilet that is already in use by somebody else.

To perform the dance one cups their genitals in both hands and hops from one foot to the other whilst at the same time banging on the door to encourage the occupant to hurry up.

If the dance is performed correctly then the Goddess Urinal will grant you the privalege of hurrying the occupant plus helping to minimise seepage and accidents.

"Dude where's Tom?"
"He's doing the Sacred Toilet Dance to the Goddess Urinal, he's been there for 10 minutes now."

Sacred Roman Empire

When you take your date out to a heavy Italian dinner, then take them home, get a blowjob and push their head in until they almost puke, yell “respect the sacred Roman empire” drape them with the bedsheets so it look like they’re wearing a toga, and as you cum proceed to “baptize” them as you scream “In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti”

Oh man, you wouldn’t believe my date last night, totally gave her the Sacred Roman Empire again.

Sacred Heart High School

a private, catholic, college-preparatory school located in Kingston, MA. The students here can be divided into two sub-sections, the upper middle class ivy league wannabes and the less-dedicated stoners. The uniform consists of classy inch long khaki or navy skirts and a variety of colored land's end polos for the girls and boxer-revealing khaki pants and xxl polos for the young men. Boat shoes are a must for all and north face jackets are a requirement. L.L. Bean backpacks are a common accessory. In past years, the "Lax Bro" culture has infiltrated the SH community. However, outsiders should not be fooled by this facade, as the athletic department is severely lacking in talent. (The cheerleaders and cross-country runners will try to prove otherwise because of their recent division IV league wins, but please, do not be fooled.) The administration's favorite activity is facebook stalking, so be wary to post anti-sacred heart information on there. The school is nearly microscopic, and everyone knows everything about everyone else. Sacred Heart students enjoy partying in their respective hometowns, but rarely party together. Scandal is RARE.

Sacred Heart High School student 1: hey, are you going to that party tonight?
Sacred Heart High School student 2: nah man, I have an XC meet in the morning.
Sacred Heart High School student 1: dude, come anyways. You guys suck.

Sacred Heart High School student 2: .
