Bird-Voiced Pants-Wearer

In another life I studied Greek and I had a great teacher once who, like all great teachers, was fond of going on tangents.  One of them centered around the Ancient Greek perception of Persians, which he boiled down to: twittering, bird-voiced, pants-wearing archers.  

Anyway, this has been bouncing around in my head ever since I set up a Twitter account for A Red Orchid Theatre last Thursday.  If you tweet, check them out @aredorchid, and keep your pants on.
