Magic Shake-Ball

Dear Magic Shake-Ball:

My daughter's best friend just left her for the cool rich girl, and now they both ignore her. Should I crush them with my bare hands?

Answer:

"Marc Antony shall not love Caesar dead
So well as Brutus living; but will follow
The fortunes and affairs of noble Brutus"

(Julius Caesar 3.1. 133-135)

Are you kidding me? Brutus and Marc Antony turning against Caesar is the ancient Roman equivalent of the classic "mean girl" triangle maneuver. That settles it. They're going down faster than you can say "Et tu Brut."
