@Crease imagineering badges over here :point_down: so I put in a coupla orders:

Orders are one thing,

…another.

A Latin phrase should come to mind but I’m coming up short. :man_shrugging:

62

The phrase that immediately comes to mind is from one of Henry Beard’s books on the subject and would likely violate Community Guidelines. :wink:

@Crease @Antonius

You guys are gonna have to trust me on this. In some odd way the linked post :point_down: is responsive to both your comments.

And at the bottom of it are two of my favorite Captured on Wyze sound clips ever. :raised_hands:

I hadn’t heard them in months and months and months. What a pleasure to come across them now. :relieved:

(It was a tough weekend and it’s weird that its being displaced so fast.)

(We shouldn’t pretend that this is normal.)

65

I devised one recently when replying in another topic to @dave27 (who I imagine is :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: because of my dragging  into yet another :poop: show), but I’ve been away from the language too long to be certain of my grammar.

Internet Goethe said be bold and unexpected things will leap to your aid. :kangaroo:

Internet Gœthe seems like it’d be about as reliable as a backseat driver, armchair quarterback, or dime-store psychiatrist.

Maybe there should be some kind of recognition for when a user hits 1337 posts, :heart: given/received, consecutive Forum visit days, or whatever. :man_shrugging:

Since :frog: seems to enjoy nominating me for odd jobs, I’ll return the favor by suggesting this to @peepeep.

69

Actually, I’ve found this to be true no matter who said it. :slight_smile:

70

So I should plough on with my :wastebasket: attempts at Latin?

71

I don’t know. Does it make you feel alive!

No need to over-complicate. :slight_smile:

Do that thing.

72

Does writing silly phrases in a dead language make me feel alive? Maybe not so much, but there’s some pleasure to be derived from the journey of rekindling or gaining knowledge. Plus, since it’s a classical language, Latin can help to class up an otherwise crude turn of phrase. That appeals to my inner-12-year-old sense of humor.

Why do you call me wolf, frog?

Hey, I’ve been accused of this more than most people. I deserve the badge too! :sweat_smile:
