RE: actually that is incorrect grammar...I believe you meant to use the adverb ‘too’

You obviously are not very thorough: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3405314/posts?page=149#149

I go back to the original: “Then you needs must bore yourself to death!”

If you think that is correct grammar. Pfft. That’s like “all your base are belong to us”. Are you from Kazakhstan? Go back to elementary school.

“you needs must” is Elizabethan English.

It’s short for “needs must when the devil drives” ... in other words, if the devil is driving you, you have no alternative.

You obviously are not very thorough:

Ah, you corrected yourself while I was responding...I’ll have to overlook your boorishness, due to the correction...

Go back to elementary school.

Elementary school was where I learned that the phrase ‘need must’ is perfectly good English usage...you obviously skipped Charles Dickens writings in your own studies...
