A Funny Thing Happened on the Way To The Colosseum

Tuesday, February 21, 2006

I remember the good ol' days in my youth. POPsus, KevenTheOneArmus, Herbius, Scottius and Chrysalisius would often meet at the Emporium to discuss various philosophies and the latest Race Chariots. Yes as most men, we liked a well built six horse powered Fordius Sports Chariot. Chevion Chariots lacked the power (only 4 horses) but was favored by Spain and often equipped with hydraulic lifts and dice dangling from the rear views. They were slow but man! They looked were "leuking geud"!!!

The Emperor at that time (now forgotten to history) was Durt Claudius. He wasn't the brightest oil-wick in the lamp, but he was okay. I mean, he didn't accuse me of anything to feed me to the lions and while things stayed that way - I was happy. And the gang and I would sometimes show up at the comedy clubs and watch that great South-Roman stand up comedian, Cletusius. The man was a genius. His catch phrase I think was.., "Gitus Done" and the Wild and Crazy Stevius Martenus.. what card!

On the way to the comedy clubs we would pass the goddess of bad legs, "Vericose Vaenus" and next to her was this street vendor selling a popular unisex cologne/perfume brand, Ewus Monius. The vendor was a nice lady. Lemme see - what was her name.... AH! Sspritus or something like that.

Then we would head for the mall on occasion as walking often wore out our shoes. I preferred those designer sports sandals made by ParaCleatus. And of course who would show up at the Colosseum!? US! As spectators of course. We preferred to attend Midget Toss night. Sure it was sick but in a less barbaric sort of way than say - oh - watching people fed to the lions? So yeah, it was Midget Toss Night.

The Emperor Durt Claudius tried to have a Tall People Toss Night to keep things fair but the short people couldn't lift them, let alone toss them. Needless to say that wasn't very entertaining and people demanded their money back.

<sighs> Those were the days.

	chrysalisius February 22, 2006 02:17 PM PST I always thought Varicose Vaenus had a bit of a crush on you, Davemanius. I recall that she always asked to borrow your feather in the vomitorium.


	Herbicus February 21, 2006 06:48 PM PST Ah, Davemanicus, those were the days, eh? Shall we go slaughter a few Christians.


	AbbyNormal February 21, 2006 10:45 AM PST I prefer the feeding of the lions. If you arrive too late, the lions are all just sleeping.


	Penny February 21, 2006 10:03 AM PST Oh boy! I love the Midget Toss! What time does it start?!
