Gaius Octavius

How about the 'slow' - 'fast'; in - out; 'music'. Then there is the translator whose accent one couldn't cut with an axe. It's a conspiracy!

Some thoughts: If the early Romans did use dogs to open a battle, then when the legionaries clashed, the dogs would like as not attack their own in the melee.(?) They would probably give up the practice after one or two tries. From my ancient memory. A lion facing a Masai warrior with a spear, was dog meat. To expand this a bit. A Roman army, on the march, did so with cattle in the rear or middle???

Don't know how reliable this is: "Throughout History, canines have been a vital element of warfare. In the early days of the Roman Empire, almost 2000 years ago, dogs were outfitted with armor and trained to attack the enemy. Great leaders like Fredrick the Great and Napoleon have also used wardogs in their military operations. And more recently, in the Civil War, WWI, WWII, and the Vietnam War, individual dogs have become so courageous that they have been reccomended for the Silver Star and countless Purple Hearts."

There was/is a radio program called the 'Art Bell Show'. There were many 'reports' by some, that they had seen 'were' dogs in Ohio.

Barry Bonds, Clemens, Giambi, etc., are on steroids. Right? That's a badie. Left! 1. The Yankee Stadium was built for my personal hero, Babe Ruth. 2. The pitchers' mound raised. 3. The balls and bats 'adjusted'. 4. A ball hit 6" off the ground on the fair side of the base and lands foul is a hit. On the exact same trajectory but 10' in the air - foul. 5. Strike zone from ankles to nose for one umpire; belly button to crotch for another. 6. Foul territory in one park, and you need a cab to cover it. In another, you need a seat in the stands. 7. Strike for a good pitcher; ball for a good batter. 8. On a DP, the runner is out at 2nd, if the fielder is somewhere in the country. 9. C.C. Sabathia 1-6, and can barely pitch 6 innings, is witching about $100 million? Johnny Vander Meer who pitched back to back no hitters and did duty in both ends of a double header had to sell apples in the off season. 10. A reliever who pitches one inning and can't go again for a few days. And Barry Bonds can't get a job. And that CENSORED congress is looking into steroids? Look at what the owners did. They're the ones who wanted the homers. Gaius has to take his necessary medication. A couple more shots. god "Damn Yankees" give me no solace at all! (Watch out, you delinquent penciltucky farmer!)

You darn well know they wouldn't be able to rely on cats! I see that you are off of your necessary lithium - again! Thank all the gods!

Oh dear GO you really have no idea what 'properly dressed for the times meant do you? http://www.jamd.com/search?assettype=g&amp...n+bakewell%2522 Now from my perspective all I can say is I might be going back a little more. London, si; Wall St., no. But, then there was that babe with the tremendous bazooms who used to hang out on the Sub-Treasury steps. Anyway, my Illegitimate Mother had to ask the Old Man for PERMISSION to wear slacks in the office! Phelps, Fenn imported British knockouts as receptionists. These babes didn't have to wear anything above the knees. While I'm at it, my Illegitimate Father, when giving me a substantial dressing down for some minor indiscretion, would put his arm over my shoulders. If I knew what was in my best interests, I had to go to Trinity Church with him after meetings on Wednesdays. Neither of us belonged to the Episky operation. Gaius the Damned

The Holy Roman Catholic Church?

Wish I knew what you are talking about. Are you saying that someone can get at my computer even if I go to a safe site? Or while I'm on UNRV?

What were the levers and their supports made of? Were the sailors having an eXpresso when the claw hit?

At one time, the Romans used dogs (Present day Neapolitan Mastiffs?) to commence an attack. When and where? And why were they given up?

Are you allowed to post pornographic images like that? Imagine how I felt driving! Did it have A/C?

"What annoyed me though was the typical modern documentary style. After every commercial break, the voice-over re-introduced the program saying exactly the same things - and we saw the same computer generated imagery repeatedly. Please - tell me something.... Anything.... I know the teenager found it, you said five times already.... Please... Aww no, not the 'falling over dead' sequence again.... I won't mind if you prove they smoked cigarettes and became extinct because of lung cancer.... Just for something original.... This program suffered from one major flaw - they didn't have enough to say to fill an hour." Amen! Amen! Five minutes worth of info; the rest twaddle. Sometimes the info is twaddle. I would also add that I wonder if the historians and archaeologists ever peek at the programs that they bloviate in.

"Military Channel - 9:00 am Next showing: The Claw Greek genius Archimedes creates a secret weapon that plucks Roman warships from the sea." (From the G-Man) Considering the weight of a warship, or any ship for the matter, was it really possible for the claw to lift a ship out of the water?

How is it known that she was/is a 'Lady'? That term is flung around much too gratuitously these days. He might have been treating her as he would a child. If she were properly dressed for the time, she would have had a dress and nylons between her knee and his hand. Or, maybe her knee was a treasure. Come on F., you did get a shoulder when you took the 'wheel of your brand new Oldsmobile'.

Ekatarinburgh! Shades of St. Nicholas II.

Cool! I think that I recognize some of my ancestors.

http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/country/dgb2.html Click on the one closest to you. Maybe Leeds? If you don't succeed, make enquiry of Pope Mal(icious)adict.

Indiana Jones isn't the real thing? I am totally disfracted!

At one time the Romans had camel units. (I don't know if they were Roman or allies.) Were they used in battle? If so, how? Any battle(s) in particular? Ditto, elephants. Could it be that the Romans did not expand their own cavalry arm because of the terrain they generally fought on? (At one time, each legionary was was trained in horsemanship.) At Zama, Scipio manhandled Hannibal's elephants quite easily.

No! (I am just being opaque, mayhaps even clever.) P.S. Look @ Slate re Barr. Can't get those hyperlinks in regular e-mail. G.O.

Dumbkoph that I am! I forgot about those things. Thought that they went the way of oil lamps. But, still assist my meagre wits: "After trying the door several times (and, I'm sure, looking like an eejit), I tried to take the screen off my bathroom window; I keep the window cracked for ventilation, and if I could take off the screen, I could climb in and unlock the door." Do you think that any self respecting intruder would miss this? I guess that the front door was also bolted. Anyway, maybe one of your neighbors has a video of this event that you could share with the Forum. Oh! I meant to flag you. I'm getting a new A/C.

'55 Caddy convertible for me.
