Free Rifftrax.

UPDATE: Congratulations to YoohooRiffer for solving this!
Julius Caesar was fragged by Brutus & co. on March 15, a.k.a. the Ides of March. The eve of that would be 3/14.

Then go down into comments. There were 30 of them from March, and I added one yesterday with this message:

Logical in a Sherlock Holmes-ian way? Or lightweight and possibly annoying, in Katie Holmes-ian way?
I don’t know. As Kevin says, I’m no Will Shortz. (For one thing, I’m not some damned giant.)
Congrats also to Shutterbun and MikeP, who left these sad messages:

That was a fun game Bill. You had me all over the place. I keep thinking it had something to do with pie since March 14th is National Pi Day.

I was making a good living selling Mumia on the street, until people started giving it away for nothing.
