Lane, your last comment on "Coalface" was as long as your posts. And now this post is like the comments section. What gives?

It's like the second chapter of the second book of Finnegans Wake where the text and the footnotes change place. Is this deliberate?.......unonominous.
Lane Savant writes:
No, actually, I just intended to answer some of Butch's questions but I got rolling and let 'er rip.
Emily writes:
Come on Dougie dear, you just want to brag that you've read so much Joyce.
Seneca writes:
Are you ever going to give us the translations?
Lane Savant writes:
I misplaced the book I got the Latin from. Soon.....soon.
Cicero writes:
No need for any translations here.
Scriptus Plautus:
Hic astabo tantisper cum hac forma et factis frustra is from my own Miles Gloriosus;
It means, "Am I to stand, idle and unnoticed, so handsome and so heroic, all for nothing?"
Lane Savant scriptus
Gee, Plaut...Thanks a lot, I wanted to do that.
Plautus ecrit;
Timing you fool, is the most important thing. You were dragging it out too long.
Cicero chimes in again:
I agree with Plautie, "Quid de utilitate loquar stercorandi?" is from my "De Senectute"
It means "What can I say about the usefulness of spreading manure?
El Savant cries in his cerevesium:
Be that way, but I get "Bibamus, moriendum est". It means "life is short, let's have a drink" Hah!. Put it together with the spell-check version about "Bigamous Miranda" and we've got a party goin'on.
Doug types merrily:
"Ave Amicae" means "hello friends" "Vale Lacerte" means "See ya later alligator"
Vale Amicae
