DATES! DATES! Can't you remember your own posts? Hah? Do you have Early Onset Alzheimers? Hah? Has that bit of snow frozen your alleged brain? Hah? What do you not understand? The Theorem that Flying Zorches Have No Grelics! I'm trying not to re-write my book... -and don't make me ask you to elucidate all your posts... Ask away! Have at it! Enjoy yourself!

What? Some lout dares denigrate me! I'll have his horns on my mantle! See the below and thank General Melchette :notworthy: . Presently he :notworthy: is plotzed. You celebrated his :notworthy: birthday very recently. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUhx7LflJLI Should you like a picture of me to put with your valued treasures: http://www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?act=Us...&CODE=photo

I think that you are correct (not that I speak a word). If the listeners think that the latter is what it means, let them enjoy themselves. Sex in Latin! Puts bottoms in the seats. And that is the point of the exercise. But the music and voices are great.

Dearest Phil: Not merely ironic, but sarcastic. If you haven't noted that this is my style in my posts and blogs, then you should read my very first substantial blog. Nonetheless, both you and another party left out a few steps in your histories. Did you 'get' my explanation above?

Your Grace: :notworthy: What tantalizing comestibles were washed down by this oenological cornucopia? High cholesterol cheeses, viands and sundry wursts? Breads and olives (to cleanse the palate)? Hamburgers? Spotted Dick? Lasagne? Etc.? :sp_ike: This question, of course, assumes your :notworthy: attendance at the doings in more than body and high test spirits. :drunk: Was a whytche offered up to the Lord Bacchus? :sneaky2: Then there is the matter of the loot!

The Law? Theoretically, all citizens of Rome had to act within the bounds of written law and were protected by it. I am certain that the modern term 'stare decisis' applied then. For non-citizens, in their territories they had the same reciprocal relationship according to their laws which were effectively sanctioned by Rome. The governor of a province could be prosecuted for alleged crimes after his term of office expired. Business contracts could be enforced. Slavery was regulated. Theoretically, a slave could not be sexually abused and could buy his freedom. This may be one of the reasons why Hannibal did not conquer Italy. I believe that in other nations, the law was subject to the whims of the ruler.

"...to quit lending them money,...." But otherwise agreed. After the Axis powers were beaten, we should have had Patton lead our armies against the USSR, along with the Germans, from the west; Mac Arthur team up with Hirohito and Chaing Kai Sheck and attack them from the east; Churchill come up from India and Iran. All this while 'A' bombing them back to the stone age from the Northern Route. Result: No oil problem; no Castro, Chavez, Morales, Tito, Lumumba, Nicaragua, Guatemala, etc., etc., et al. Kool?

Sorry, Phil, that was very rude of me. "The Vast Wrong Wing Conspiracy." ~ "The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy." = A term used by Mrs. Hillary Clinton, when she was First Lady, to describe the vulgarian persecutors, slanderers and libelers of her husband, the last elected president of the U.S. Staten Island is a borough of NYC whose denizens are mostly conservatismistics (a Bush neologism). Aside from ferries and such (which can easily be dealt with by any group of kids from Brookfordshiresexingham), one must cross a bridge to alight on its shores. Hylan Boulevard is the islands main artery. The inhabitants each know that this is their personal property and thus may maniacally tool over it as they please. "ann coutey" ~ "Anne Coulter" = The skinny, scaly bag of bones who plays with her long tresses and flashes her legs to excite the concupiscent appetites of her acolytes whilst belching her 'wrong wing' bile on TV talk shows. Between the maniacs and her proto-moron thinker, she would severely increase the business of morticians. If the remaining subjects of this post had to listen to their own belchings, they would elect to commit suicide. Dr. Kevorkian used to help people obtain this objective in Michigan. Any better?

Some Latinists might be interested in hearing this: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6470188

In the Dark Ages, didn't all the people of a Teutonic castle sleep in one great room? No curtains either. On the U.S. frontier, log cabins and sod huts were one room affairs. The 'company' houses of the late 19th c. to the mid 20th c., were basically one room affairs. In the city slums, this is still the case. Studio apartments, shared by a gaggle of kids in NYC, are still very common.

"The Vast Wrong Wing Conspiracy" must go. Render them to staten island. Tear the bridges down. Force 'em to drive down hylan boulevard on icy days with ann coutey directing traffic. Force the few survivors to listen to their twaddle for a month and then turn them over to Dr. Kevorkian.

The Lord of the Herbs :notworthy: use *iagr*? Never! Absinthe! Garlic!

Someone has to pay off the 12 trillion national debt that reegan and dubya put on our backs. I already gave at the office. The neopathetics can pick up my burthen. I wonder how many government pensions rummy-baby is going to walk away with? BTW, if you want more boots on the desert, join up.

Got a great money making idea for you. Pull an arbitrage. Take AoS up @ 5% and lend to MPC @ 10%.

We had a great day here in the Heart of America.

Your Lordship! :notworthy: :notworthy: Happy Birthday, It's your Birthday. Run around, jump around, hop around the table. Fingers in the icing, Blow out the candles. Happy Birthday, It's your birthday. :drunk: Claudia, and Baldrick

How could you blame him? Notice how the republick neo-paths have changed their tunes?

AoS, I am anxiously awaiting your elucidation - in Inglish!

Ambrosiana, do you realize that that is only one day away from El Cinco de Mayo? Kill 'em, Tiger.

Amen! And amens to Virgi's poem and his service.

Congratulations! kiddo. For another 100 years! Love your pics.

Why is this question relevant? There's been seasonal fluctuation in US gasoline prices for over a decade. Has Lucent stock seen the same predictable fluctuations? Has anyone attempted to explain these season fluctuations by means of some other factor, such as a massive conspiracy? If not--the Lucent/GM cases are irrelevant. Nor is the claim that every price in the market can be predicted with 100% regularity. If anyone could do it, they'd be rich. But if you want to claim that prices are being kept artificially low by a temporary factor (such as a conspiracy to influence elections), then the claim has logical implications for price fluctuations. As far as I can tell, you're simply arguing that some prices are unpredictable. Well, duh. What are you slurping? Must be brain numbing good stuff. Does one have to put down ohighyo sludge with it? O! Ye Great Tyrant Moderators, this has gone too far, even for Caius.

MPC, I always look forward to your charm and grace. Let me tell you that I am a past master at B/S. Don't need a book. There is an old rule: Never B/S a B/Ser. Let us get on with 'prices'. Now, amongst my collection of bonds, I have a slug of Lucent 6.45/29 and GM 7.70/16. The former cost about 75; the latter 100 1/2. Would anyone - anybody at all, please tell me what their prices will be at any time in the future.?! I need not be told why - just the prices and when, and back them up to the hilt. Your bit about predictions applies to: the physical sciences (most of the time); voo-doo economics, (none of the time); weather (some of the time); economics?, who knows?. I was going to inform you about the recent movements of the prices of gold, but I am zonked now. However, I offer one universal challenge: The sun will or won't rise tomorrow or any other day. Pick your poison; lay your odds and send me your check. P.S. Sometimes I think that you are fatuous.

Virgil, no matter what you guys knock back, have a good time. GO

Seriously, maybe a write in would have shown your disgust. Some wag has held that if elections settled anything, governments would outlaw them.
