Open Bar 3.17 - now more glitchy than ever!

Indeed, it's not like America has a commander who leads the country, an aristocratic Senate or Tribune of the Plebians and an economy inextricably linked to war.

Such comparisons are silly, and obscure more than they reveal.

ROMA AETERNA EST.
Rome is eternal.


I didn't write that shit. They did. They knew what they were doing. The Romans obviously had some kind of world dominating conspiracy going on. I mean, it's not like the torch got passed from Rome, to Constantinople, to Moscow, to Washington or anything...That's crazy talk. You couldn't possibly transplant an American in Ancient Rome and expect them to survive, or vice versa. THEY AREN'T AT ALL ALIKE. Rome also had gay people, who had orgies, and were pagan.

Oh, and what did Octavian call himself?

Princeps Civitatis

First Citizen?

Wow, that doesn't sounds like the president at all.

[Cain]

Which indeed is nothing like America's political elite all gathering at Bohemnian Grove to burn effigies for a giant Owl Moloch (which none other than Nixon criticized for being "stupid" and full of "fags").  One is merely frat pranks, whereas the other Really Believed In.  It is impossible both are just rather strange bonding ceremonies for the political-business-media elite.

And no Christian upper class could ever be comprised of men who have had frequent gay sex, it is true.

WASHINGTON DIVINA URBS?

Also, the Roman economy was heavily dependent on slave labour.  America doesn't engage in slavery any more.  Explain THAT, historitards!

Of course, in these days of eternal war, Presidents are often referred to by their supporters as "commander-in-chief".  Which is of course nothing like Imperator.

I had a dream last night that Villager and I were trying to figure out what the best martial art is.

So we got this big Bible sized book about all the martial arts, and I took a gun out and shot it. Then we turned to the page where the bullet stopped.

This is where Rome wins: Their slaves were giving citizenship after so much time in service. American slaves were freed, only to be given no rights and put right back into share-cropping.

God I hate online dating. I don't even know why I bother.

A thing I HATE is when an online guy wants my number, and it makes sense to give it to him because we have already agreed to meet for beer, and then he wants to have a fucking text conversation. Look dude, I don't know you, save it for the date OK? Or when we haven't met yet and they want to see my website & shit. Fuck off. Basically, I am a distant bitch and I don't want to have anything to do with them until after we've met in person and decided we want to go out again.

Plus, I think a lot of people see it as a "competition", and the best man will win. That's not actually the case at all; usually I end up dating no one, because none of them click with me. If a guy doesn't click with me I'm not going to keep seeing him whether there's anyone "better" on the horizon or not. Some people seem to be weird about it. Like one guy who said in a message, before we even went on one date, that he's not the kind of guy who dates a bunch of people and then picks one; he just focuses on one person at a time and expects the same treatment. Since I am the kind of person who goes out with a bunch of people until I meet one I click with, I just dropped correspondence. I'm not going to be exclusive with some guy I've never even met, that's ridiculous. Basically anyone who places expectations on someone they haven't met, or have only gone on a few dates with, has issues I don't want to deal with.

Sorry for the rant.

Im out of here for three weeks due to Christmas. Next semester doesn't seem as bad as this one so I'm sure I'll be around more next semester.

I caught a steel bulkhead cutout in the kidney earlier today.

It seems, though, that the more beer I drink the less blood I pee, so I guess it's OK.

Um...I switched persons in that.

I think I need to lay down.
