      I, Ludicrous Maximus, invite you to my toga party! Come down to the vomitorium where we will be drinking wine and um… more wine and making Miriam! Just past Route 5 on the Via del Corso!

          Bring Bigus Dickus, Empress Nympho, Comicus, Swiftus, Marcus Vindictus, the whole gang. Just don’t bring Nero!!! (And don’t give him matches!)

    I notice things really started turning bad in the 1982-1990 chart. Isn’t that when trickle pissing down economics begin?
