Antiochus of Seleucia Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 (edited) Gaius Octavius, using his normal allusions and metaphors recently signed an e-mail as 'Don Tomasso.' Naturally I googled it to figure out what he was remotely speaking of. I got: (You must scroll down a tad if you click the link) Pyramid Found - In The Heart Of Bosnia! - Ancient Roman Empire Forums Don Giovanni: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) All are smoking your weeds. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Don Tomasso ... www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=2381&st=90 - 91k - Cached - Similar pages Isn't it nice to see UNRV represented because we all are "All are smoking your weeds." I just thought that was so cool. Edited August 13, 2006 by Antiochus of Seleucia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docoflove1974 Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 (edited) Google spiderbots and the like are often the culprit. My friends and I have a semi-private forum site, and guy who was in charge of 'running' the board had to install extra software, or something like that, just to keep the buggers off. It was kinda necessary there...as for this site, I guess the bots are needed. Edited August 13, 2006 by docoflove1974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princeps Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 I googled 'Taccitus' the other day to find the most common spelling and the first result was a page by me (the page is down atm unfortunately), so I guess that spelling isn't too common, though I have seen it in print several times before.

Gaius Octavius Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) AoS: I'm world famous! How many of your acquaintance are so honoured? I am ecstatic! Let me raise the shroud from your peekers - somewhat. "Don", if you have been paying attention recently, is a title - of 'respect' one might say. In the case we are making reference to, it signifies membership in a secret Elect and Select society. This society, of which I am Tyrant, has a Senate. Who knows?, and if you are a good boy, write your own papers, mind your manners and eat your herbs, you may one day in the future be Selected.

Spurius Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 I thought the : "Smoky, almost tarry black fruit up front, with tobacco and green cardamom notes. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine, well-integrated tannins and a hint of lightly polished oak on the finish. Well-crafted and poised for a bit of aging in bottle. Best after 2005. 2,445 cases made." reference was more fitting. Cheers... :drunk: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurius Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 That's be cause I have trained a certain part of my anatomy to ask Jeopardy! questions. :smartass: :horse: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This certainly must have been a monu mental task for you. You have a schizoid anatomy! Congratulations! I would wager that you can, and often do, provide a symphonic rendition of Dixie. It appears that the upper part of your corpus is providing the services usually provided by the lower part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antiochus of Seleucia Posted August 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 And now our newest member is Don Giovanni, Gaius' second favorite name. Is this trickery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantagathus Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 And now our newest member is Don Giovanni, Gaius' second favorite name. Is this trickery? Actually, there are two Don Giovannis, both of whom have graced and informed these precincts for some while. And I know at least one of them is not up to something. I'd like to know who believes they have the testicular fortitude to utilize the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
