If I had a nickel for every would-be tyrant who got domed by an old lady on the second floor, I would have two nickels.
And I’d want more nickels.
The Republic asked how it could reward her and she asked for two things: the freezing in perpetuity of her rent
Things don’t really change, do they?
Same as it ever was.
Got dome used to mean something else.
Reminded of an escalating Kill James Bond bit in IIRC the Bourne movies, where a character’s assassination by headshot is eventually referred to as “getting sucked off by a twink.”
With an offshoot to Nova saying “he is receiving stately pleasure.”
Granny just giving gummers
Urban warfare, my dude
Gotta remember to look up XD
Doors and corners.

I require context.
From Wikipedia:
He was king of the Molossians, He was one of the strongest opponents of early Rome, and had been regarded as one of the greatest generals of antiquity. Several of his victorious battles caused him unacceptably heavy losses, from which the phrase “Pyrrhic victory” was coined.
…Pyrrhus was trapped. While he was fighting an Argive soldier, the soldier’s old mother, who was watching from a rooftop, threw a tile which knocked him from his horse and broke part of his spine, paralyzing him. Whether he was alive or not after the blow is unknown, but his death was assured when a Macedonian soldier named Zopyrus, though frightened by the look on the face of the unconscious king, hesitantly and ineptly beheaded his motionless body.
Pyrrhus was killed by Zopyrus and his mom
Idk, sounds fake. I need a Greek nerd to tell me the “zopyrus” is like “Better Pyyrhus/” or something
All the greatest warriors get mommy to help.
That look when your mum takes out the greatest general alive
Remind me of a scene in Ulysses:
Schoolteacher to boy in school:
‘What can you tell me about Phyrrus?’
Well sir, Phyrrus’ a pier, isn’t it?
“Who would win”
Babushkas bloodlust is unmatched.
