And, of course, Baby Got Back in Latin.
Large buttocks are pleasing to me, and I am unable to lie concerning this matter.
Yes, it's a shame the blog is so lacking in comments.
O colleagues
[What is it?]
O colleagues

Do your girlfriends have large buttocks?
[They certainly have!]
"Omnia quia sunt, clunes sunt." - Heraclitus
Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but there is something with the translation,
habent amicae vestrae magnas clunes? (certe habent!)(Do your girlfriends have large buttocks? [They certainly have!])
Unless this song is about lesbians, of course.
I'm not getting it, Sam K. Is the problem with vestrae?
Oh, and the footnotes, which this blogger didn't reproduce, I recall as being priceless. Something about 'oh, you dont like chariots? Let's see you try to put 'turbo-charged' into Latin.'
That's what I was thinking he meant, that it should be modifying the implict masculine 'you'. My Latin is way, way rusty, but I think he's wrong -- isn't vestrae an adjective modifying amicae, and therefore properly matching it in gender regardless of whose girlfriends they are?
Yes. The adjective matches the noun it modifies in number, case, and gender.
Cala imperatrix mundi.
Vestrae is noun, actually, but I can't back this up with, you know, proof.
I'm so rusty that my vocabulary is almost gone, but through a combination of memory and process of elimination, I thought it was 'your'. If it's a noun, what does it mean?
here's the one with the footnotes.

Yea, actually, you seem to be right. I was thinking it was gen. pl. for you guys.
Turns out they didn't make it a song about lesbians! Yay!
In Latin and cock jokes, the Unfogged bench is deep.

I was just this afternoon wondering why I'm commenting so much on this site all of a sudden. That's it! w-lfs-n and Standpipe are gone!
Do you mean you're picking up the slack, or breathing freely at last?
So, is Michael off on a bender or something? Haven't heard from him in a while.
And did Mitch Mills go back to China?
Mills was headed to Belgium, last we heard, and I have no idea where Michael's been.
Also, no one answered when I asked about Austro last week.
I'd forgotten about Austro. Wow, lots of regulars missing.
Austro is like a superconsultant, right? He's probably ears-deep in some Austrian banking merger.
The person we should be amazed by is LB: high-powered lawyer by day, voluminous blog commenter by... um, day.
Wow, lots of regulars missing.
And that doesn't even count Bob and Unf.
. . . and high-powered lawyer by night.
Dude, I am so in the throes of trying to figure out a career change it isn't even funny. Spending all this time commenting is symptomatic of a major professional crisis.
If I ever get a job I like, I'll check in occasionally to say hi, but not like this. (Of course, if I get fired, on the other hand...)
Where do people get the idea that they can just leave like that?
Here's something you might start another food fight over sex with, if you like, Ogged. It's a freebie for you.
"Wow, lots of regulars missing."
In August. What strange timing.
But I'll continue to feel sorry for you for the lack of comments your blog is getting; it's so very, very, sad.
There's always the possibility of banning remaining commenters, Gary.
I had just (about ten seconds ago) resisted clicking the link to that article from the Times's front page, being naturally unwilling to give in to the "something something and sex" teaser.
LB: How about getting a job you like that still requires massive procrastination? Lubbock optional.
MW: isn't that what graduate school is for?
I've thought about grad school -- econ sounds like fun, but I can't afford it right now, what with the debt and the kids. Anyway, I'd have to take a bunch of undergrad prereqs first, having squandered my actual undergrad education on physics and medieval lit.
Cala--It needn't stop with graduate school! It stops with tenure denial.
Now back to that syllabus.
Since SB isn't here to say it, I will.
physics and medieval lit
[swoon]
The way it worked out, I actually know very little of either. (Three semesters of physics, realized that I wasn't going to excel to the point where my future looked terribly exciting, and I was bored. Changed schools, took courses at random, and after a year or so had a panicky moment with the course catalog trying to shoehorn the courses I'd already taken into a major that would let me graduate in four years. Medieval Studies was it.)
LB, if you want him to stop stalking you, just admit that you fart occasionally. (Or you can soak up the adulation!)
Matt's got a point. Physics, Med-Lit slacker is hardly less swoonworthy.
But that other word I'm going to have to add to the blacklist.
Labs? Alameida? Bob? Someone with posting privileges? Can we have a fart thread?
Hmm, I just tried to post a comment and your script told me the comment was being held because the post was over two weeks old.
From now on, the act of passing gas is known on this blog as "ogging."
That's fine, as long as I don't have to read that horrible other word.
Trying to think of what words suffer the fate of "socialism"...
oggher is the only one I can come up with. and I guess you can always substitute uggher.
What with the cock jokes, there might be good reason to use the word Cialis.
Generally, it's not a good idea to ban words, because it has unintended consequences, and blocks stuff you don't want blocked. I can unblock the word if you all promise to use it responsibly. Though I don't understand why "passing gas" and other creative euphemisms aren't enough for you.
phart phart phart phart phart phart
I will ban every letter of the alphabet!!!!
I promise to use it responsibly. I doubt that we all will so promise.
(If someone starts an ogg thread, can we use it there? You don't have to look.)
Ok, it's unbanned. In the unlikely event that one of my co-bloggers posts, there's not much I can do.
He never has to look. He can smell it.
While my feelings aren't as strong as yours, I have a certain amount of sympathy for them.
How about getting a job you like that still requires massive procrastination?
Hurrah for academia.
"I had just (about ten seconds ago) resisted clicking the link to that article from the Times's front page, being naturally unwilling to give in to the "something something and sex" teaser."
Not enough mystery?
But who's right? The sexy woman pro-environmentalist? The anti-sexual-display feminist? The male environmentalist? Col. Mustard in the Study?
In honor of the word that may now only be used with great delicacy and responsibility, I offer to the assembled this early seventeenth century poem about a matter of some historical import.
Why is it that Standpipe is gone again? I miss her/him.
I was thinking about this lately, about mystery and sexiness and etc.
Since Gary is trying to stir up shit (we can say that, right?), I'll say that that article makes it seem as though the anti-display feminist's position has no merits. (I had typed something about how her points are no good, but... well, don't let's go there.) "We are against the stereotype of a woman as a sex object" seems in this case to amount to "We are against acknowledging that women have sex and can be desirable"--the ad even says "The man I choose," and the picture is hardly revealing at all.
I might worry that the ad would be ineffective, because no one will read the fine print about how turtle eggs don't work. But that's another issue.
(Disclosure: I went to college with the poet-naturalist's daughter. Actually that's not disclosure, it's name-dropping.)
Mills was headed to Belgium, last we heard, and I have no idea where Michael's been.
I'm still in NYC for a short while yet tying up loose ends and occasionally reading unfogged et alia. But commenting just tends to lead to more commenting, and I really need to get stuff other than commenting on blogs done. I haven't seen Michael, but then I've been avoiding the Mineshaft for the same reasons mentioned above.
Plus, you know, with SB on hiatus, Unfogged is just a pale shadow of its former self.
Soon I'll be back in Texas for a week, and then off to Greece to rejoin the fiancee for our small thin Greek wedding, before we finally settle in Belgium for the duration of the soon-to-be-wife's studies (and perhaps longer).
Also, enjoy!
I was 3/4th through this movie before I realized that the kid was farting. I thought he was squeaking.
I feel as though this is my fault.
"Since Gary is trying to stir up shit...."
And here I thought I was trying to stir up thoughtfulness, and consideration.
Well, "food fight" was your term.
Anyway, I didn't keep the next two commenters from talking about oggs.
in taberna quando sumus
non curamus quid sit humus
circa mea pectora
multa sunt suspiria
de tua pulchritudine, Cala.
LB said, "I am so in the throes of trying to figure out a career change."
Matt said, "How about getting a job you like that still requires massive procrastination"
You know LB, lots of people move to teaching law from private practice. I just met someone yesterday who did that. It wouldn't require more school, you could still pay bills (though it might require some downsizing), and as Matt points out we could still enjoy the occasional comment from you.
If you're thinking of taking cw's advice, I retract the part about "Lubbock optional."
Yes, it's not a career that's very compatible with strong preferences about where you live. I've escaped my lubbock equivalent, for now.
"Well, 'food fight' was your term."
I've used the term in my life, but don't have any recollection of using it here recently. Could you kindly link to the comment you are referring to, please?
Incidentally, while there's Little Going On Here, my blog is chock full of entertainment value with a number of posts from today and yesterday perhaps informative and amusing, or perhaps full of some wacked ass stupid shit. You be the judge. Commenting is even allowed, and everything. Including cock jokes.
Gary: comment 44, this thread, which was the first time you linked the Mexican advertisement story.
Sadly, I am not ideally situated to make cock jokes on your blog right now--Monday?
Speaking of people who haven't commented for a while, what about L? Anyone hear from her lately? "Hi! Welcome to Tulane. We're glad to have you here. Now please evacuate." I feel for ya, kid.
I don't know about you, but I spent a good portion of my first week at college evacuating, reverse peristaltically.
"Gary: comment 44, this thread, which was the first time you linked the Mexican advertisement story."
Ah. Sorry; I thought you were referring to another thread; my mistake.
"Sadly, I am not ideally situated to make cock jokes on your blog right now--Monday?"
Suck me, baby.
I've been writing quite a bit this weekend so far, it turns out, though perhaps I'll slow down tomorrow. Who the hell knows? I'm a wild and crazy guy.
Re: 98
I was just thinking the same thing. Hopefully L.'s okay.
Back
I have woefully neglected my Blog and the Frathaus throughout July and August.
Two excuses.
a) July and Early August. Mega stress with some difficult types from Poland.
b) Last two weeks. Holiday with the kids.
I even got to read Pale Fire: Thanks for the tip.
Oh and thanks for asking! :)
