You sure about all that, Ralph?

Tecumseh said...: Ralph starts pretty good, but then he gets carried away. I said it, and repeat it: he used to be extremely sharp, but he's been slipping badly in past few years. Now he's swinging wildly, more of a hit-or-miss. Still worth glanging at now and then, but sorry Ralphie boy, nowhere near Stein or Taranto.

Mr roT said...: You must mean 'Steyn'! Where's my VCP?

Powwwww!

BTW isn't it 'transiit'?; 5/09/2007 1:36 AM
Tecumseh said...: Yes, Steyn, Mr. Straman. And, no, trandit, as in transit, wherefrom it comes. Here.

I'll let you figure out the tab. How many bocks and steins?; 5/09/2007 7:00 AM
Mr roT said...: You're using wikipedia as an authority on Latin?! I'll stick to not knowing whether it's 'transit' or 'transiit' (in that phrase) for now.
Thanks though!; 5/09/2007 1:44 PM
Mr roT said...: St Jerome disagrees with you and wikipedia: Surge, propera, amica mea,
columba mea, formosa mea, et veni:

11 jam enim hiems transiit;
imber abiit, et recessit.

12 Flores apparuerunt in terra nostra;
tempus putationis advenit:
vox turturis audita est in terra nostra;

13 ficus protulit grossos suos;
vineæ florentes dederunt odorem suum.; 5/09/2007 4:31 PM
