Why, unless your name is Julius Caesar?

I'm hoping this means you are returning to blogging! I will be more and more vigilant (and excited) as the day approaches.

It wouldn't be your birthday, would it? Because mine is three days later.

the mid march antics of the putz might mean "the ides of march" or it might mean the nation's predicament not biding well

Putz said...

does everyone expect bad news when the ides of march are here which all should beware, or does it just mean that there will be a surprise and maybe pleasant one at that????

Putz said...

leap year and i expect marriage proposals from many sources

The very term "beware" implies possible danger, and that was borne out when Julius Caesar was assassinated on the Ides of March in 44 B.C.

To answer your question, then, "beware the ides of March" in no way implies pleasant surprises.

Maybe you have the ides of March confused with Sadie Hawkins Day.

Putz said...

you, bob, said that on the very last day of this month february < and i am waiting to be asked out

Putz said...

ya know, LEAP year

rhymeswithplague said...

But what does the Ides of March have to do with Leap Day???? I'm not following you...

Putz said...

bob everything has to do with everything>>it is all related, and i hope expectations are not toooo high for the ides of march and i am so glad katherine likes my words, she should have been following me starting about 7 years ago

"leap year and i expect marriage proposals from many sources" Hahaha, I hope you have been inundated, I myself am taken of course otherwise....

My theory is that Julius Caesar said, "Et two, Bru-tay?" because a couple of slices of pizza were missing.

Happy Ides of March to you and yours.
