What does your name mean? It makes me think of cinnamon tushies.

[Félix]

Cincinnatus is a name.

[Jonathan]

Is that like a cinnamon bun, Sally?

I thought the name had something to do with Cincinnati maybe.

of a dictator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cincinnatus

[Jonathan]

But what's with the c at the end?

[janine]

maybe a and b were already taken.

[Jonathan]

janine wrote: "of a dictator"

But one known primarily for his willingness to relinquish power for the good of the nation.

[Jonathan]

janine wrote: "maybe a and b were already taken."

Yes. That's the most likely explanation.

[janine]

i've read five words total of that wiki page.

[Félix]

janine wrote: "i've read five words total of that wiki page."

The first five, or five random words?

[Jonathan]

janine wrote: "i've read five words total of that wiki page."

Cincinnatus was an important figure in the rhetoric of U.S. government and politics, early in the republic, because Washington could probably have retained power indefinitely had he wished, but like Cincinnatus he retired to his farm, etc, etc. That's really the only context in which I've ever heard the name.

Not the Wednesday asscheeks thread?

[Sally, la reina]

What, asscheeks? After seven hours they get chilly too. I'm more into sitting here in the semilight of dawn watching Leah watch the glowing christmas tree from her exersaucer.

[Michele]

welcome, cincinnatusc. We really are mostly sane. really...mostly. some of us just never studied latin.

[janine]

that is an excellent excuse.

[Félix]

we got a million of 'em

[Michele]

Sister Mary Alisa, 3 yrs of Latin. I read "The Aeneid" in the original. Sister would be proud that I recalled Cincinnatus from what is now my ancient history.

[Sally, la reina]

I studied Latin!

[Phil]

Staring at photos of Ricky Martin doesn't count, Sal.

[Sally, la reina]

Shucks.

[Michele]

for those of you under the age of 40: once upon a time you could not get into a reputable college without 2 yrs of Latin..

Like, Sally!

Welcome, Cincinatusc. :)

[Kevin]

reputable is a matter of opinion. Rudy's Beauty College does not require any foreign language

[Michele]

Is that where you went,Kevin? I went to this tiny,liberal arts college in my home town that required 2 yrs of Latin, 2 yrs of modern foreign language, 3yrs of math, 4 yrs of english & 3 yrs of history just to get your application accepted and read.

So then Michigan State's not reputable? That explains a lot...

Neither is the University of Akron, apparently.

*will happily hang out in the disreputable section of TC*

[Michele]

Clark, what year did you go to Michigan State? A lot of colleges dropped arbitrary requirements in the 70's.

Oh, Cincinnatus is a name alright, albeit not mine. It's that of a character from my favourite novel- Invitation to a Beheading

[Sally, la reina]

Nice! Thanks! You rock.

Wow, impressive. I studied Latin for two forgettable years, but still wouldn't have known the name Cincinnatus if it weren't for Vladimir Nabokov

[Kevin]

shoot. i thought you were somehow connected to the reds and i was gonna see if you could get me davey concepcion's autograph

[[deleted user]]

Sorry to let you down. But Davey Concepcion? Really? Ahead of Joe Morgan?

[Jonathan]

The Big Red Machine.

[Kevin]

i'm sick of joe morgan although i am still impressed that he used the smallest fielding glove since the 30's. his glove was like wearing a leather mitten. davey and tonyP were my guys. i read bench's autobiography and he sounded like a conceited jerk.

I graduated in 1980, so you may have something there.

i like it that you two are so much alike

I think you should apologize to Michele.

[Michele]

no apology needed, thank you. I don't mind the comparison.
