I had such a huge crush on the baritone in the first university Gilbert & Sullivan production I worked on, resulting in jackass behaviour at the cast party. Followed later by a huge crush on the tenor in the next season's production, who bore an uncanny resemblance to young-ish Patrick Stewart playing Sejanus in I, Claudius. And then there was the dashing baritone in Utopia Limited who lived in my dorm and--oh, never mind. Never, never mind, and don't believe those rumours I used him as a model for one of the slaughtered Roman soldiers in chapter ii just because the rumours are true. I am susceptible to a good singing voice. And to people who look like movie-Romans.
Hmm... maybe later Domitian can give us a rousing rendition of "I am the very model of an ancient Roman emperor." But what rhymes with "emperor"?
Actually, most of the soldiers in chapter ii got slaughtered, except the accounting department. All of Felix's tent mates, except our Lucky protagonist. Poor lads...
I must be hungry... the one thing that flashed into my mind when I read this was "I could go for some Japanese food right now." Then might brain unscrambled and read it correctly :)

A double dose of the wobblies.

I am the very model of a modern Roman emperor
My mores are so good that no-one has to cry "O Tempora!"
