Actually, quick question about that movie. The Romans go to find Spartacus, and the entire group stands up and claims to be Spartacus. Now, that's the most famous scene in the film and I've only heard of it. Never seen the film. So what I really want to know is, is the ending: -the happy kind where the Romans cannot kill so many men, so they are all set free, including Spartacus -the bitter-but-happyish kind where Spartacus reveals himself somehow to be the real Spartacus, the Romans kill him but spare the rest -the probable realistic kind where the Romans don't have a clue which man is the real Spartacus, so they kill 'em all just to be on the safe side.
how the fuck is that good times? sounds like you're consolling yourself into your own life, not theirs! so what you may say, but you sir sound just a bit brutal. No intention of that sir, you may say, but i say to you....
I believe you're mistaken, good sire. When she said good times, she was referring to the running joke through this thread (things that rhyme with news), not the execution of Roman prisoners.
hell, even if i was referring to the execution of roman prisoners, it would still be easily discernable as sarcasm.
Yeah, because sarcasm is really easily detected over the internet (sorry mamaK, couldn't resist that :tongue: )
i think it's easily detected. or at least, i ASSUME when people MUST be sarcastic, they are in fact, sarcastic. (see, forthright, humorless seriousness is easily detected, too. )
