You can use my derriere to try and lure him here if that will help also.

I like it. And here is another one you might enjoy. I found it in a historical novel I recently read about early Rome when the army in Germany would be attacked by little bands of warriors, whose aim it was to get the Romans to chase them into the woods, scatter them and pick them off. Since these forays had little meaning to the army mission, the general refused to be baited and commented, "Aquila non captat muscas." It reminded me of another application for the saying, that on the internet (or anywhere else for that matter) people should not stoop to engage in arguments with people who are only looking to pick a fight or be annoying. I decided it would be my motto for '08 and put it on my desktop message. For those of you who are curious the sentence reads, "The eagle doesn't take/capture/attack flies." There are other fun ones we should look up and insert in our posts for fun! (The people on RA probably think we are nuts.) Spareribs

Actually I just wrote a long answer to you, comparing Latin, Spanish, and Romanian, but my internet connection failed and I lost it.
Be safe. Be kind.

Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
As long as we're off on the language stuff, I'd like to ask Ribs, DH, et al (ha! Threw in some Latin) if they think it's possible to take language lessons successfully later in life (i.e., at my age).
You guys are extemely hawt when you do that Latin battle talk stuff.
DH, how fast does the Army immerse newbies in Monterey?
