Ready for a Sharpened and Battery-Powered Ides of March?

[Hurkyl]

I dunno, it just seemed appropriate!

 

[z-component]

Hmm, I don't know. Today seemed pretty average to me. It felt like the day after Pi Day.

 

[scott_alexsk]

Beware the ides of March!

 

[zoobyshoe]

Everyone will be fine so long as you stay away from seat of government buildings, and your best friends.

 

[Hurkyl]

Today seemed pretty average to me.

All the more reason to beware!

[Julius Caesar=quote]Cowards die many times before death, but the couragous only taste it but once.[/quote] (or something like that). I have nothing to fear.

[franznietzsche]

Meh, I've had a good run. Back to work now.

 

[Astronuc]

Beware the ides of March!

Beware the march of Ides!

 

[Cyrus]

Et tu brute!?

 

[Dawguard]

Et tu brute!?

Brute? His name was Brutus!

 

[Cyrus]

What do you think Brute means?.....

 

[Dawguard]

What do you think Brute means?.....

Must be a different version.

 

[Cyrus]

No...

 

[Dawguard]

The copy I have I got from my father who got it, while he was in college from, his aunt. I seriously doubt its the same version as yours. I googled the speech, and everything I can find says Brute, so my version must simply have been a typo, or some such.

 

[Astronuc]

Brute was kind of a nickname. One syllable preferred - like Bob.

 

[Dawguard]

Brute was kind of a nickname. One syllable preferred - like Bob.

It'd suck to have Brute as your nickname. No wonder he went bonkers and killed Ceaser!

 

[Cyrus]

its said, bru:te

sp: Brutè or Brutë

The phrase is often misquoted as "Et tu, Brutus?" Brute is the Latin vocative form of Brutus, used when directly addressing the individual in question. The nominative form, Brutus, would be used in a sentence such as "Brutus killed me", where Brutus is the grammatical subject of a verb.

 

[Dawguard]

Damn, I've got a substandard book! Who is responsible, the fiend shall die!

 

[chroot]

Jeez, they conjugated people's NAMES in Latin? No wonder it's a dead language.

[rachmaninoff]

Lots of modern languages decline names. E.g., most Slavic languages.

edit:
Heck, in English you decline names!

Et tu Chroote?

 

[Math Is Hard]

Et tu Chroote?

Chrooté

 

[rachmaninoff]

Crouton.

 

[Math Is Hard]

Crouton.

j/k Chroot. Please don't ban me.

 

[chroot]

Maybe I should change my name to chrootus?

- Warren

 

[Cyrus]

Chrootus Adminus of Bay Area.

 

[Math Is Hard]

Hail Chrootus Adminus!

 

[chroot]

Ahem. I'm Chrootus Adminus of the Wholeus Worldus, thank-you-very-much.

- Warren

 

[chroot]

Hail Chrootus Adminus!

Trying to win brownie points, are you MIH? Yes, yes... yes, it might work. It might.

- Warren

 

[Dawguard]

Ahem. I'm Chrootus Adminus of the Wholeus Worldus, thank-you-very-much.

- Warren

Ah, now for the snarky point. The ending of your latin is all wrong. I didn't know the names were changed, but I do know that there are no articles. Therefore it should read, "I'm Chrootus, Adminus of Wholeum Worldum".

 

[Evo]

Chrootus Adminus, love it.

 

[chroot]

Don't I get a peasant-impaling spear or something?

- Warren

 

[Evo]

Not for your class, at most you'd have the traditional Roman short sword.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Hey, Chroote. Evoa Mentora said you had a short sword. You going to take that?

 

[Dawguard]

Not for your class, at most you'd have the traditional Roman short sword.

Dripping in peasent blood!

 

[chroot]

Hey, Chroote. Evoa Mentora said you had a short sword. You going to take that?

Humm. No one's ever called it short before.

- Warren

 

[Moonbear]

Humm. No one's ever called it short before.

- Warren

You probably just need some fresh batteries.

 

[z-component]

Size doesn't matter; it's how it's sharpened that counts. :)

 

[GeorginaS]

Sharpened and with batteries?

 

[Evo]

Sharpened and with batteries?

Now you're talking!
