Amicus Veritas

[chillywilly2]

Down to two series and then The Big One.

Potentially only 19 games left this season.

Makes me sad.

But then you will get some school work done

 

[Saint Peter]

But then you will get some school work done

Fuck that.

 

[kbate]

Sorry, no.

This should make me sad, but it does not, as I have not followed it at all this year.

Do the hounds ever ask about me?

Several of the current batch are without merit and if you supply an address, you may have up to 8 of them without charge.

They never stop saying, "Pete, take us from this bitch!"

I have a 9 month old lab puppy. We may be able to work out a trade.

If he retrieves or at the very least can find a bird by scent, he is ahead of my last two litters of beagle. I'll go 6 to 1.

I have a park near my house where the geese like to rest at during their migration. When the pup was the size of a shoebox we walked up there to see the birds. Her nose and ears were on fire. When the birds took flight her tail wagged her whole body.

Ok. Deal. Send her on trial and I'll ship the hounds. You can keep them regardless of my acceptance of the Lab.

Can I toss a couple of cats into the deal?

Those are starting to stack up around here.

The Romans had no beagles.

:emoticon-of-great-sorrow:

What might the word have been... bigal with a long "i" I guess. Bigal, -es, 3rd declension m. or f.

Ecce! Bigal quod avem invenire nequit! — Behold! A beagle who cannot find a bird!

 

[Byron In Exile]

Amicus is a latin word that means friends or comrades.

I don't know how you managed to blow that one, but you did.

Amicus means friend.

Friends is amici.

It would also be "lepum", not "avem". Beagles chase the prey from the side and force it back toward the hunter. This would be an inefficient way to hunt birds.

It was a reply to Kbate's "If he retrieves or at the very least can find a bird by scent" — I assumed the bird would be dead, hence "to find" rather than "to hunt." But to use "hare," "lepus" is 3rd declension: the accusative singular is "leporem."

So it could be,

Ecce! Bigal quod leporem invenire nequit! — Behold! A beagle who cannot find a hare!

or,

Ecce! Bigal quod leporem venari nequit! — Behold! A beagle who cannot hunt a hare!

I guess the first one is funnier, actually...

Beagles are not retrievers. He would be likely to eat the bird, if he found one.

It would be "find and chase" a hare.

 

[Byron In Exile]

Kbate will be pleased to know her beagles are not defective.

It would be "find and chase" a hare.

Okay!

So...

Ecce! Bigal quod leporem invenire venarique nequit! — Behold! A beagle who cannot find and chase a hare!

or,

Ecce! Bigal quod leporem non invenire nec venari potest! — Behold! A beagle who cannot find nor chase a hare!

Not so fast, blueboy.

^ This was a fun coincidence, 'cause when I mentioned a Jesus and Shiva throwdown, I thought of the scene from Son-o-God comics where all the gods are arguing over who gets to send down the next Messiah...

 

[Byron In Exile]

I assumed the links in Amicus' post #6 were an attempt at a translation of your Latin but when I clicked them I started to read some tome so I quit. I never could quite figure out what he was trying to say.

Oh, yes! Post #6! I neglected to reply to that one, somehow. I might have been suffering from an amusement overdose at the time. That's certainly the wackiest post of the thread and in my opinion a strong contender for Wackiest Post of the Year 2011. Don't worry about not being able to figure out what he was trying to say — doubtless he hadn't any idea what he was trying to say, either.

Amicus Veritas...heh...little did I expect, but I do welcome, an exploration of the roots of my screen name as an voyeur expedition into evasive...a few might have actually learned something from this diversion.

I don't even care that you spelled it right; that you get my moniker before the masses is the intent, after all, ain't it?

A search for truth, a friend of truth, has always been the quest of mankind and it is that concept that I wish to imply, and, it seems to work quite well, now, don't it?

"We find these truths to be self evident..." Now where the heck did I read that? But, interestingly enough, the concept of 'truth', "A is A", and, 'self evident', axiomatic truths, obvious to all, leads to universal truths, and absolute conceptual knowledge....which are all, really, the root of the objection to my kindly screen name.

Therein is the bugaboo of the insentient Left, the subjectivists, the relativists, the amoral, who have no foundation upon which to guide their lives....and, oh, my, do they hate it...when I call them out.

All the buttfuckers and babykillers gather round now and take a shot...feed me another fucking liberal...please!

Amicus Veritas(with a rose)

Mate,

Can you translate this into latin

"You're a very beautiful woman. I'd like to wash your feet."
