  1. Not sure I'd like to BE in any of 'em. To be able to witness though? Give me Cannae and Alesia.
  2. It's illegal in my house, according to Mrs G-Manicus.
  3. I vote "Pfffft!" be added next.
  4. You'll be sadly missed, Gaius. It was a pleasure knowing you.

  5. They've changed the site now. You're able to open up the book for free on the internet but you have to pay a fee to download the PDF file.
  6. This next one is dedicated to Romulus and Remus ... "You are my brother, my best friend forever ..."
  7. I picked up "Caesar" and started reading it last week. This line on page 67 makes me question whether to continue with the series: "I am Gaius Octavius Thurinus. My mother is Caesar's sister." *sigh*
  8. For Agrippa Postumus: "Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely" by the Backstreet Boys
  9. What modern songs would serve as an appropriate theme song for a particular person or event from the Ancient World? For example: For MJ Brutus, Cassius, Decimus Brutus, and the rest of the Liberators (so called) .... "The Backstabbers" by The O'Jays On the flip side ... "Cuts Like a Knife" by Bryan Adams for J. Caesar
  10. "Of all the Nerva!" (The story of the fall of the Flavian Dynasty) "The Patrician Magicians" (a comedy starring Penn and Teller as ancient con men)
  11. I love firefox. The customizable toolbars are the coolest thing ever.
  12. Following on the heals of the Directv movie channel preview weekend I recently saw the following: Rocky Balboa - I loved the original Rocky movie, but that was about it. I saw II, III, and IV. Thought they were all "eh." Never saw V and VI (there was a VI, right??. This one had gotten decent reviews so I gave it a whirl. Thought it was quite enjoyable. They made the plot sound somewhat feasible (aging Rocky comes out of retirement to fight an exhibition against the undefeated champ). The sappy "Adrian anniversary tour" aspect was a bit of a bore and just an excuse to introduce clips from the original Rocky, but that aside it was a nice, uplifting flick. Good stuff. Knocked Up - The wife and I were really looking forward to seeing this given how popular it was in the theater. Wow. What a piece of crap. The hot, upwardly mobile, E! show correspondent falls for an unemployed, moronic, slacker, pothead? Are you kidding me? Every other scene was this guy or his buddies doing drugs.
  13. I wonder what kind of internet connection they get out there.
  14. Interesting stuff. Thanks, guys.
  15. Want me to burn you a copy of "Underdog", or are you good?
  16. Thanks, The! It's something I've always been curious about. I look forward to anyone else's input.
  17. One would have to be a Directv subscriber, but at a tier of service less than their "Premier" package, which is the one being offered for a free preview. For example, I subscribe to Directv but do not have any of the movie channels (HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, Starz, etal) and thus these channels will be free to me this weekend. Capice?
