    Alas.. a futile attempt to raise the level of discourse… a quixotic goal indeed…seriously… for a fun read for anyone who really enjoys the language suggest you Google “Latin Quotes and Phrases”…
    for the rest of you lovable/lazy luggs… Lex Babes(you know who are) included… I’ll translate the phrases in order of their appearance:

    1. “not worth a rats ass”,

    2. ” there is no free lunch”,

    3. ” don’t let the bastards grind you down”,

    4. ” things go better with coke” (a non sequitur and lame attempt at humor)), and

    5. ” get a life”

    I actually thought is was somewhat amusing and silently complemented myself when I first read it in contex…but as I thought further on what I had written two words kept comming to mind …”qualem blennum”… yes… qualem blennum unfortunately said it all. Best

    Hey, I actually knew this one:
    non illigitamus carbor

    But really, I thought nothin’ of it.

    And Snake, not to make something out of nothing, but that’s a terrible way to talk about yourself. After all, there’s nothing to be gained by it.

    Okay, okay, even I know its time to give it a rest….
    but hey, its not like I had nothin’ else to do.

    Latin phrases appropriately including the word “nothing”…..now that would be impressive.

    Some might even say, that would be something!

    Not that it’s not nothin’ but isn’t “lugg” spelled lug.

    Nah, never mind. It’s nothin’.

    And of course, brilliant person that I am, I forgot the question mark at the end of the question. That will teach me.

    Just remember, better to be a smart@$$ than a dumb@$$.

    I know what y’all think I’m worth, I having waited this long to reply to this one.

    For what it’s worth…and to correct the record re #51 above the first Latin Phrase in my original comment # 49 above was ” cacoethes scribendi” (and not “non gradus anus”). Cacoethes scribendi translates as… “an insatiable urge to write”, which when read in contex hopefully renders my comment comprehensible. Best

    PS, HomefrontSix, Congratulations…I hereby award you the August 2007 Pedantic Peckerwood Award. A letter under seperate cover will be sent to you explaining the rights, duties and obligations attendant receipt of this prestigious award…and that its safe to say… ain’t nothin(g)…again congratulations… you Big Lug(g).
