Want some Mores?

[Guest Mores]

I figure I'd better get around to introducing myself.  I joined the site just a few weeks ago after lurking for quite a while.  I liked the balance of some solid faithful members with just enough differing opinions to make things interesting.

I'm making it a policy to be fairly private about myself online.  So I won't say much other than I'm an active Latter-day Saint who tries his best, but falls short more often than not. 

Notwithstanding my boorish nature, I can come off as pretty arrogant.  Well, that's not just an impression.  I actually am pretty arrogant.  So, my apologies ahead of time.

I'm married with kids.  And I practically worship my wife.

You can help establish the mores around here.

Great.  One of the greatest orators in history violates Latin spelling conventions with his own name.  I'd have opted for a name change.

And with way 'v' was pronounced, I like to imagine Caesar's "Vini vidi vici" was proclaimed in the same sing-song manner as "neener neener neener"

Is that a typo or an Aussie idiom?  I'm trying my best to figure out the meaning, but I'm coming up short.

What did Caesar say when he stumbled across a collaboratively edited website that was pathetically small and badly out of date?

Hmmm... tough one.  I'll try:

Et tu dated?

I was beginning to think this would turn out to become the longest introduction thread ever.  Then I took a look further down the page.  I guess I've got a ways to go yet.

I haven't had anything yet. So how can I have some Mores of nothing?

I was very tempted to say something inappropriate.  But I thought better of it.

Ah, you mean you can't very well take less. You can always take more than nothing.
