Hercules Mingens (1st Century BC - 1st Century AD), Roman white marble statuette known as the Drunken Hercules, was discovered in the House of the Stags in Herculaneum... The sculpture depicts the divine hero in a vulnerable state, contrasting with traditional depictions of his heroic power.
Hercules naked, drunk, and takes the opportunity to urinate. But it's not a fountain, so no liquid comes out of his penis. The sculptor simply wanted to represent the decadence of drunkenness, which affects gods and demigods as well as mortals.
However drunk he may be, Hercules doesn't relinquish his attributes: the Nemean lion's skin and the club. He carries them over his shoulder, thus concealing the stand, since this statue is pure drunken instability. The sculpture's center of gravity is shifted far back, something quite un-"classical," more in the Hellenistic style.
Furthermore, it doesn't seem to be the best time for Hercules... he's a bit older, chubby, and not very athletic.
It is an unusual image of Jupiter's son, although this iconography of Hercules mingens appears to have been fashionable in Rome from the 2nd century BC until the imperial period. Perhaps this is because Greek comic and satirical literature was also very popular at the time.
These statues were intended for gardens, places of leisure and pleasure, where Romans would go after a good meal and perhaps relieve themselves. The owners of these houses kept their employees, cultured but mischievous, in good standing.
This type originates from a lost 4th Century BC Greek bronze statue by Lysippos (or his school). The most famous surviving version is the colossal Farnese Hercules (over 3.17m tall), a Roman marble copy signed by Glykon, made around 216 AD for the Baths of Caracalla in Rome. It was rediscovered in 1546 and became part of Farnese collection (now in Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples).

In 2003, Michael Jackson told a friend that his dream was to go grocery shopping like a normal person.
That friend owned a supermarket, closed it down, and recreated the entire experience so that MJ could feel like he was actually going shopping.
@CODUpdates PLEASE HELP! My Grandma's CoD Account has been Stuck in a Limited Matching Loop for 5 weeks! She is retired and misses playing with her friends on the game. We have tired contacting @ActivisionSupport via website but are stuck. Hopefully they see this and can help us. Thank you!
@itsgoatszn@ShiinaBR The only thing that is Half baked around here is you. Imagine being so invested in a game where you are thanking The Lord just because game modes that you don't even play are getting removed
@_CaptainBobo_ @bonnbonhjames @IceboundMidas98@ShiinaBR@JustTeddii@TimSweeneyEpic Its fucked up for u to basically whine like a spoiled brat & beg for epic to keep one but not the others just because YOU didnt like them. In Epic's Eyes all 3 modes are shit, so they are getting rid of them. Watch the way u word things next time so u don't sound like a douche.
@ItsMeeeEliii@ShiinaBR I liked Rocket Racing and Festival Battle but there weren't alot of people playing them. It would take me forever to load into Festival Battle & Rocket Racing just to be matched with nothing but Bots. Only time they'd be fun to play is if I had 10+ people in my lobby already.

@fortniteshop99@Fortnite@FNFestival If they got MJ for a Festival Season Headliner, That would hands down be the most Popular seasonal Festival EVER! Plus, I guarantee you that it would draw in a lot of people to Play Festival as well. 💯
@iamtopboy_@TimothyJones92 Exactly what I was thinking. Y'all know 100% if the situation was the exact same but they were all black, the officers would have had guns drawn and AT LEAST One of those pledges would have been leaving in a Body Bag.
