Well, as yall know I played on Saturday Nov 12, 2005..
cause I could mostly and after feverishly working on web sites, trying to get a 3 column to stay put.. damn css…
I needed a break..
So..
I went visiting. I found this Latin challenge. I found the source of the challenge
Epigrammata - Liber 09 ·
Martialis

http://www.gmu.edu/departments/fld/CLASSICS/mart.html
the the poster of the challenge accused me of freakin cheating!
So I quote
“Ok… while we’re in a Latin mood, the first person to name the source of this epigram earns a post linking to their blog or website (provided they are legal, and such). And if you translate it poetically, I’ll put a little extra effort into the post.”

Well I was the first to name the source.
I admitted the translation was beyond me..
Oh well.. Just for the record.
I won..
So if and its a big IF!
The poster actually comes back with a post.. be warned..
It may be vulgar.. or whatever..
Yall are adults get over it..


My Grandfather was a Latin scholar, he actually taught the dead language. He had a great love for Latin.
Yep he was a rancher, but a educated one.Nothing says ya can’t be smart while your chasing cows.
They don’t particularly care what ya yell as your working them..
Who know’s why calf’s are called doggies..?
