I Only Understand the Reference Due to Other References

February 27, 1967
I have been to the beach exactly one (1) time. I went to Galveston, Texas back in 2001 with my mom and her "friend". It was okay. I actually got in the water. I looked only slightly better than Brutus here.

Is Brutus smoking a pipe? What a waste of tobacco this is going to be.

If Brutus lived in Ancient Egypt, he'd be below the farmers and probably the slaves. Brutus would probably be chattel or, more likely, forced labor. Some sort of middle management assistant to a priest or scribe, constantly annoying them by asking them how good of a job he's doing. Hey, let's give him to the pharaoh so when the pharaoh dies, Brutus will be killed and mummified with him!

Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe a lot of Born Loser readers have seen the movie This Is Spın̈al Tap. I don't know.
