Well, if we have to beat folks up to keep ol' Jackson on his toes... ;)

I actually hate to correct something so technical, especially since I'm wrong so often, myself.. but...

it's "et tu" not "eh tu"

from the Latin words "et" = and
and "tu" = you.:D
Failing to sort out your Latin from your Acadian from your Quebecois, eh?

Thus, Caesar said "and you Brutus?" meaning "you too, Brutus?" when he found his 'friend' had played a role in his stabbing.

See what 4 years of Latin classes in high school leaves in your head years later?:D

Yes, I suppose you could cite that. (Great show, too!)
But I was thinking more about Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar".

I believe the actual Latin was "et tu, Brute" (where "Brute" is pronounced BROO-tay) because of the case of the noun Brutus (vocative?). Happily, I've forgotten how all of that works (nominative, genitive, dative, ablative, accusative, locative, vocative).



I hope ol' Jackie is doing well in Lima, and has not had occasion to use his personal firearm (unless for martini-inspired sport).

Very confusing, this thread:confused:

Ricplayer, good to see you getting a proper bass:D

About your web page: There is something seriously wrong with your rig!


...



Your guitar friend has a taller one! You seriously need to add a cab or two, or he'll think he's in charge:D
