crassus and the steamcleaner

whether or not crassus ever said "it's good to have goals"* i do not know. I sort of figured he'd have uttered a few bon mots in his time. i mean, pompey had 'who needs laws? i've got guns' and of course caesar with 'men believe what they want' (i paraphrase here, having limited knowledge of latin). so crassus had to have something. maybe it was more like, "watch out for your rivals". who knows. after all, we're talking about a guy who had molten gold poured down his neck in the deserts of mesopotamia. so anything is possible.

anyway, i only picked up on crassus because i wanted to give my appliances a feeling of belonging to something more than just the run-of-the mill society grid. i figured if they felt imbued by the spirit of the roman triumvrate or had a sense of 'the will to power' and all that, it might energize their performance around the house. that's all i meant with the crassus line.
