I know it’s not until tomorrow, I just am feeling a bit cryptic this morning.
So, what’s penciled into the day planners of Dopers for tomorrow? Whatever it is be a little more careful. You know, like scope the rooftops for snipers while your walking down the street and stuff.
I’ll just be working, same old, but I’ll be on the lookout for ninjas and evil scientists and superstitious Roman conspiritors.
I’ll buy that for a dollar.
It’s my cat’s birthday, she’ll be 7. Zem lives with my parents now, being a country cat and disapproving of wild city life, but I’ll give her a call and wish her the best and many more.
Gamera is really neat, he is full of turtle meat, we’ve been eating Gam-er-aaaa…
I’m off.
I got your back.
You can pick your friends,
You can pick your nose,
But you can’t pick your friends nose.
I have a lunch date and two meetings. Plenty of time to be mobbed by Roman Senators and left to die in a pool of my own blood.
(note to self: brush up on Latin tonight.)
…but when you get blue, and you’ve lost all your dreams, there’s nothing like a campfire and a can of beans!
I get paid every 15th day of the month. The Ides of March are good to me.
As are the Ides of May, July, and October. 
I’ll be doing something to remember my mom, it was her birthday… other than that, maybe a date with destiny.
I really try to be good but it just isn’t in my nature!
I’m staying away from the forum. Aside from that, I’ll probably clean up a little since my parents are coming to visit.
Well, my sons birthday is the 16th, so Its pretty good for me, though I’ve always wanted to go to the St. PAtricks Day parade, but its never been really warm enough. At least where I live…
Strange, I do this all the time anyway…
Mike Mulligan had a steam shovel,
a beautiful red steam shovel.
Her name was Mary Anne.
Great, way to tip off everyone. There goes this year’s body count. I tell ya, life just ain’t fair.
I plan on having an exciting day. I’ll go to one of President Clinton’s planned appearances, and jump out of the crowd yelling “Sic sember Tyrannis”, brandishing a plastic knife. Then Bill and I will sit down and have a good laugh about my prank, and I’ll buy him a beer over a fried catfish dinner.
From Jack Handy:
So all the good ideas have been taken already. Thank you for spoiling my little plan Bricker. Instead I’ll just go moon the mayor of Costa Mesa.
I was always taught that the ‘Ides of March’ were several days around the middle of March, and not necessarily March 15 itself. Now I hear people refering to the ‘Ides of March’ as March 15 only. What’s the deal? Is this a phrase that originated with Billy Shakespeare or did he take it from an earlier source? And what exactly are the ‘Ides’ of anything? Cites and sources if you have them, please.
From the M-W online dictionary:
From Roman Month Divisions:
Roman months were divided into three sections: Calends, Nones and Ides. The Day of Ides was the first day of the Ides section of the calendar.
Every day I go over there to work I get plenty of exercise–and I get $50 for the day’s work.
(Spanish)
“Los idus de marzo están aquí.”
“Sí, César, pero no se han ido.”
It’s one of my cats’ birthdays too! She’ll be… 10!!

From an actual catalog: “Disco balls create an enchanting, dazzling effect of light shafts, adding movement and glamour to any occasion”
the Abrams’ bris was certainly memorable

Oh, I don’t know. . . mess around. . . scrawl “BewarE the IDES of MarcH” on the gymnasium in goat’s blood. . . that sort of thing.

Don’t forget to keep an eye on the clock towers too. We just got a brand new one here on campus and I’m thinking of testing it out.
“Excuse me, are you reading Torah and eating crayons?”
I will be celebrating Greg’s birthday. He will be 9 on that day.
