[jobberone]

That doesn't really make sense.

I got it.

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

Isn't it obvious? He granted your Christmas wish of wanting to become UNDERDOG!!!

Yeah. That was kinda lame.

You ain't all there, bb.

I cannot tell you how far my jaw dropped when I read this thread title! Man, I'm glad it's just a chipped bone (easy for me to say, right?) and something that D-Ware can obviously play through. Give him a soft cast & a good tape job and sic 'em on Sheli & co. Sunday!!!

the Ides refers to the 15th of the month.

so it really doesn't make any sense.

I was born on the Ides of March

I was born on the Ides of March

so then, unlike BB, you know what that means....

the Ides refers to the 15th of the month.

so it really doesn't make any sense.

I'm guessing that the percentage of people who know the real meaning of the word is less than the percentage of people who think it refers to days when something bad happens (or something to that effect). So if you said, "Bewards the Ides of December," more people would think "Uh-oh, something bad is going to happen in December" than would think, "Uh-oh, something bad is going to happen on December 13."

And yes, the Ides of December is the 13th. The Ides is the 15th only in March, May, July and October.

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.

Yeah those erudite zoners among us that still follow the literal Julian calendar.:

Ides of March is a broadly understood literal reference to pending trouble.

how is the wrist injury going to effect ware's pass rushing moves? Which wrist is it? Will he be able to get into a 3 point stance?

 

[Bigdog]

I have played sports with a fracture wrist. i just wrapped it up in a splint and put foam around it so I did not injure it further. The coach and doctor were not worried about me injuring it but hurting someone else with the cast that is why they put foam around to cushion it.

I did not know this. Thanks for the information!

Pretty obvious joke. March is to Caesar as December is to the Cowboys.

I thought Ides referred to 15th of March, not a problem with the month.

Well lets just all go around saying meaningless crap and sounding uneducated then.

see, now here is a useful clarification re: the 13th.

of course the "common usage" argument comes off as odd seeing that the person making it here has often taken a hard line literal stance in many threads.

Or, maybe we could just unclinch our sphincters.

I'm very well educated, thank you very much. And Lord knows you're in no position to be delivering tutorials on anything, let alone Shakespeare or Latin. By all means, continue throwing a hissyfit over a simple pun.

I don't? I guess you missed the "Hunter of the day" thread in the OT zone.
