Miles' 20 Jobs He Owes
Due to some bad behavior at a store, Miles could choose his punishment; either loose 20 toys or owe me 20 jobs around the house. He chose the 20 jobs. Here is what I had and then Jege http://leingirlz3.blogspot.com/ and Crabmommy http://crabmommy.blogspot.com/ added to them, since I hadn't filled it out all the way yet. See if you can tell where I left off and they took over.
1. clean your room
2. put backpack away
3. put toys away in the living room
3. help with groceries
4. empty silverware from dishwasher
5. wash table
6. clean your room (again)
7. put toys away (again)
8. perfect cold fusion
9. resolve conflict in Dar fur
10. remove own appendix
11. learn to speak Mandarin
12. fold socks
13. write novel
14. learn to make a perfect Margarita
15. compose symphony
16. cure cancer
17. learn how to breakdance
18.
19.
20.
(I guess they didn't have time in between drinking and eating to finish the list.)

Well, any good Python fan should memorize THIS line of dialogue (sorry for the long comment, but it's worth it...and it's officially #19 on Miles' list:
Brian's Latin Lesson
Brian is writing a slogan on a wall, oblivious to the Roman patrol approaching from behind. The slogan is "ROMANES EUNT DOMUS".
Centurion:
What's this thing? "ROMANES EUNT DOMUS"? "People called Romanes they go the house?"
Brian:
It... it says "Romans go home".
Centurion:
No it doesn't. What's Latin for "Roman"?
Brian hesitates
Centurion:
Come on, come on!
Brian:
(uncertain) "ROMANUS".
Centurion:
Goes like?
Brian:
"-ANUS".
Centurion:
Vocative plural of "-ANUS" is?
Brian:
"-ANI".
Centurion:
(takes paintbrush from Brian and paints over) "RO-MA-NI". "EUNT"? What is "EUNT"?
Brian:
"Go".
Centurion:
Conjugate the verb "to go"!
Brian:
"IRE"; "EO", "IS", "IT", "IMUS", "ITIS", "EUNT".
Centurion:
So "EUNT" is ...?
Brian:
Third person plural present indicative, "they go".
Centurion:
But "Romans, go home!" is an order, so you must use the ...?
He lifts Brian by his short hairs
Brian:
The ... imperative.
Centurion:
Which is?
Brian:
Um, oh, oh, "I", "I"!
Centurion:
How many Romans? (pulls harder)
Brian:
Plural, plural! "ITE".
Centurion strikes over "EUNT" and paints "ITE" on the wall
Centurion:
"I-TE". "DOMUS"? Nominative? "Go home", this is motion towards, isn't it, boy?
Brian:
(very anxious) Dative?
Centurion draws his sword and holds it to Brian's throat
Brian:
Ahh! No, ablative, ablative, sir. No, the, accusative, accusative, ah, DOMUM, sir.
Centurion:
Except that "DOMUS" takes the ...?
Brian:
... the locative, sir!
Centurion:
Which is?
Brian:
"DOMUM".
Centurion:
(satisfied) "DOMUM"...
He strikes out "DOMUS" and writes "DOMUM"
Centurian:
..."-MUM". Understand?
Brian:
Yes sir.
Centurion:
Now write it down a hundred times.
Brian:
Yes sir, thank you sir, hail Caesar, sir.
Centurion:
(saluting) Hail Caesar. If it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off.
Brian:
(very relieved) Oh thank you sir, thank you sir, hail Caesar and everything, sir!
