For the past few weeks we've been performing Latin Skits that we wrote ourselves. Dr. Davies is holding out on giving us our tests back because the best skit will receive extra test credit. My group wrote a skit entitled "Sweenus Toddus, Daemon Tonsor Viae Fleetae." Ha ha! It's better than "Scoobus Doobus" anyway. He he. Anyways Dr. Davies came in to class yesterday and said "Hey everyone, apparently this Sweeney Todd guy is famous! I was explaining your skit to the other class and they said 'Hey! That sounds like Sweeney Todd!' Isn't that amazing?" We all laughed at his expense. Ha ha!
Why do we need to experience writing Roman Comedy when Latin class is so hilarious?

What was that skit about? Someone getting their tonsels removed?
ReplyDeleteDid someone actually do a skit called "Scoobus Doobus"?

ReplyDeleteBecause Latin class wouldn't be hilarious without the Roman Comedy. Otherwise how would you have the opportunity to laugh at Dr. Davies's obliviousness?
Is that what is means? I thought it was something about your tonsels viae fleetaeing.
ReplyDeleteNo, silly Luke. I was merely responding to the question posed at the end of this post. However, since you keep requesting a translation, I believe the skit's title is, in English, "Sweeny Todd, Demon Barber of Fleet Street."
