By the way, funny how in Asterix (and other versions) Brutus is depicted as, well, brutish, a hulking man, while in real life he was an intellectual and and an idealist. He was the moral caution of the conspiracy.
The last one with the cat "Et tu, Brute?" had me laughing, dear Debra! And "Brutus, stop playing about with that knife, you'll end up hurting somebody!" Thank you so much for sharing, dear friend.
Doing a bit of catch up this morning, and I couldn't miss the daggers. :) These are great. I wonder if the dagger companies sold a lot of them today. :)
Ah Brutus you too is popular line many writers used in their novels in humorous ways I am not fan of julius Caesar but that scene was heavy and unforgettable

...I'm a bit busy and won't be able to make it, perhaps next year!
Such an underrated holiday!
Invented by Big Dagger!!!
Time for the annual rewatch of Rinse The Blood Off My Toga! This never gets old: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR_5h8CzRcI
Too funny. Corporate Rome at work. Happy Ides, everyone..
Good ones.
@ Anonymous -- Classic Wayne and Shuster! I grew up watching them on CBC TV!
I'd never given a thought to celebrating the Ides of March but somehow this year...
I need to contemplate this.
Isn’t it cool that cats fit into any situation? Jayne
The Ides of March -a good tribute -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
If I were still in work I'd use that work meeting excuse!
Love all of this! I used knife for Tom's Letter K this week!
et tu, brute'
I forgot that it was the Ides of March. The Wayne & Shuster bit was funny.
It's my violent and abusive ex's birthday - how many times did I think of Julius Caesar... So Many! Settled on divorce instead.
Another reason why I try to avoid meetings.
@ e -- You made the wise choice. Glad you got out okay!

These are so good! I almost forgot about his meeting with his Senators. He should have chosen a zoom.

Maybe Donald Trump will get so lucky.
Haha. Oh the irony - or simply put, non-fiction - of Oprah passing out knives to everyone around.
I thought Caesars obituary might be put out there by some American news source attempting to appease the masses.
Speaking of knives, I've never seen a Knives Out movie, yet.
There are so many events to celebrate in the week that started last Friday that I almost forgot about the Ides!
And we can all guess who the nominees are for this year!
I like a nice knife. Great ones today.
“surrounded by his friends.” How Fox News writes a story.
I am not found of assassination even when the b=stard deserves it. Often they become martyrs and expand far beyond themselves.
One of the cruelest ironies of history.
A cathartic post
Isn't that cat the cutest? Perfect shot.
Oh no. I’ve missed it.
It’s already the 16th here
Ugh, Oprah, I have never liked her. Love the cute kitty. I won't be attending any dagger parties.
And another underappreciated holiday goes by without the proper reenactment....
What a good excuse not to attend a work meeting!
Dang! I forgot all about that! Oscarfest just blotted it out.
Times haven't changed. 😱
That cat picture/caption is hilarious.
Can I use this knife on trump? pretty please?
ALWAYS the best curation EVER!!!!!!!!
