Brutus

I was familiar with Brutus, the one featured in Shakespeare's classic line "Et tu, Brute." But what I didn't know was that there were two Brutuses who took part in Caeser's assassination, Brutus Albinus and Brutus Marcus. But only one Brutus (Marcus) gets all the headlines. That poor sap, Brutus Albinus, also a protoge of Caeser's, needed a better publicist. "Et tu, Brute. Et tu, Brute, too?" I can't be certain, but the forgotten Brutus seems to have been more powerful than one at the time. After the assassination, this Brutus led an army against Antony; he lost, and was killed by a Gallic chieftain on Antony's orders. Ignored by history or killed by a Frenchman- I'm not sure which is sadder.

S.N. (06:28p) Haha yes! That’s so awesome. Dwight is blackshirt?
To S.N. (06:30) It’s really more of a light taupe :/ But I’m suspicious …
S.N. (06:32p) I bet he is…Also uno is only 400 points
D.F. (06:34p) Well…fine. I’ll just do it myself. Now you’ll never know what was in there. Your loss…
To S.N. (06:35p) Awesome. I’m in a heated Civ game right now, but I’m going to purchase it right after. If you figure out how to transfer points I’ll give you uno as an early bday gift
To D.F. (06:36p) Let me guess…a Final Fight shirt I have already been gifted, some lint, and loose pocket change.
S.N (06:38p) Apparently you have the option to give them as a gift when you buy them. You can also get them on amazon.
To S.N. (06:41p) Ooo got it
S.N. (06:41p) Really?! : )
To S.N. (06:42p) Yeah, 400 points is what, 5 bucks
S.N. (06:47p) Yeah it’s 5 bucks even on amazon
To S.N. (06:48p) Sweet
S.N. (06:49) Also how stoked is tdl on new cod this year
To S.N. (06:50p) How afraid are you to get whooped by TDL in new cod?
D.F. (06:51p) Forget it, you’ll have to live on w/out ever knowing. In other news: I got a new Lewd Acts 7” w/ a pretty neat zine attached to it. You have any of their stuff?
S.N. (06:51p) Pretty damn scared. Especially of his shit talk
To D.F. (06:52p) Which 7”? And no, I actually don’t but I have it downloaded onto my computer.:x
To S.N. (06:54p) Obviously. It’s been a while, he’s got tons of new material. Plus he’s working on his “man voice” watch out
D.F. (06:55p) Lung Patrol. The zine was included at the release show last year, really cool artwork in it and the cover’s transparent. I downloaded it, too…no biggie haha.
S.N. (06:55p) Oh eff i’m screwed aren’t i?
To D.F. (06:57p) I always feel really guilty if I don’t buy it on vinyl/cd or at least a shirt or something
To S.N. (06:57p) You never had a chance.
S.N. (06:58p) I will do my best but i know i can’t stand up to him
D.F. (06:58p) Ah, I know what you mean. I think that 7”’s pretty close to being out of print. The band sold out, as did the label’s store. I think Deathwish still has some?
To S.N (06:69p) “That’s how we do round hereee!”
S.N (07:00p) So good. When you’re done we’ll uno?
To D.F (07:00p) Yeah, I get my allowance tomorrow ;)
To S.N. (07:01p) For suresies
D.F. (07:02p) Allowance.. it’s been so long since I got any, haha
S.N. (07:02p) You’ll probably win
To S.N. (07:04p) Without a doubt. I carry the Hannah Montana version on me at all times.
S.N. (07:04p) Shit you may finally have my number liz
To S.N. (07:05p) Wut?
To D.F. (07:05p) :P
S.N. (07:05p) As in you may finally beat me in something
To S.N. (07:06p) Remember when I beat you in Civ once? I’ve gotten a lot better
S.N. (07:08p) And I haven’t played in forever. But I still always destroyed you.
D.F. (07:08p) I’m green.
To S.N. (07:08p) You never destroyed ME just everyone else
To D.F. (07:10p) Me too…with dolla dolla billz!
S.N. (07:10p) I’ve destroyed you quite a few times.
D.F. (07:11p) In that case…I think there are quite a few more records you need to order tomorrow
To S.N. (07:11p) No! We never fought each other! I just built wonders and cities and you attacked everyone
S.N. (07:12p) Did you forget the times we did fight?
To D.F. (07:12p) I have more pressing issues! Like shoes..and buying enough gas to get me to Ontario ;)
To S.N. (07:13p) Maybe I just blocked that all out
S.N.(07:14p) It was clearly traumatizing
To S.N. (07:14p) I just dislike violence
D.F. (07:15p) I said I’m sorry…! Haha, besides records > shoes. Anyday.
S.N. (07:15p) Yeah you’re a true pacifist
To D.F. (07:15p) Woah woah woah…don’t say anything you may regret!
