You don't want to know what he did to me.

Let's not be gross. I'm going to guess 'came down your chimney,' but only because this is a family site.

Er, the Ides of March had become a modern-day synonym for "doom." That's why you hear it every year around March Madness time, when certain teams are expected to fail. AFAIK, you're the only one who takes the "15th" portion literally.

Not that I've ever seen. I know it as the 15th of the month (or the 13th), and I've never before seen the word itself used as a synonym for doom. A quick Google search turns up no uses of the word or phrase in the context you suggest.

DeMarcus Ware is a warrior, just like Witten. He'll probably mimic Witten's "playing hurt" game with a huge game of his own.

Yeah, well, "beware the ides of march" has been a well known statement of a death foretold since the 16th century. It was specific to Caesar, but has been a broadly applied literal device for centuries.

Drink more milk.

Santa Claus will stab us to death?

 

[Rampage]

so how serious is this injury?

Agreed.

Yes to Julius Caesar it was March the 15th.

Now it's like you said...Doom.

I say that to my wife all the time as a joke of impending doom.

 

[Doomsay]

Must have been painful enough for an xray - hopefully it wont reduce his ability to grab Ellen by the neck.

so how serious is this injury?

Caesar didn't pull through.

 

[Concord]

Caesar didn't pull through.

:laugh2:

Man you are making me laugh today.

 

[AbeBeta]

Caesar didn't pull through.

gotta give credit -- that's a good one.

Nobody's debating that.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

man, you'd guys would debate whose ******* is darker

 

[Doomsay]

Nobody's debating that.

Seems like you are - btw "beware" is implicit.

Hope it isn't his 3 point stance hand

 

[Temo]

the Ides refers to the 15th of the month.

so it really doesn't make any sense.

Only for 4 months (March, May, July, October). Every other month it would be the 13th, according to the Roman Calendar.

Edit: Ok, only beaten by like 2 pages.

Sounds like some bad dialogue from a 70's holiday porn movie.

 

[Hostile]

The Ides of December.

December 13th is the Ides of December. They play the Chargers that day.

This thread has been funny, creepy, bizarre, gross, and one to remember for sure.

I came in to read about DeMarcus Ware's wrist, and Julius Caesar plays for the Cowboys now.

Funny.
