Viggen's Blog

::hugs:: I had wondered where you went. Here's to a great rest of 2007! Hope you are getting out of (or have already gotten out of) that crappy job.

Good to have you back and I hope your fortunes change for the better.

Welcome back, dude. Here's to things looking up from today on.

Our leader has returned!

And it's very good to have you back!

 

As the saying goes "Thing's can only get better!"

Welcome back Viggen!

 

Sincerely hope the rest of this year is wonerful for you...

Welcome back, Viggen! Sorry you've had such a crummy start to the year. Surgery, yet. Yikes.

 

Well, here's something goofy to cheer you -- inspired by the "Quo usque tandem?" in your topic heading...

 

LAY OF ANCIENT ROME

by Thomas Ybarra

 

Oh, the Roman was a rogue,

He erat was, you bettum;

He ran his automobilis

And smoked his cigarettum;

He wore a diamond studibus

And elegant cravattum,

A maxima cum laude shirt,

And a stylish hattum!

 

He loved the luscious hic-haec-hoc,

And bet on games and equi;

At times he won, at others, though,

He got it in the necqui;

He winked (quo usque tandem?)

At puellas on the Forum,

And sometimes even made

Those goo-goo oculorum!

 

He frequently was seen

At combats gladiatorial,

And ate enough to feed

Ten boarders at Memorial;

He often went on sprees

And said, on starting homus,

"Hic labor --- opus est,

Oh, where's my hic--hic--domus?"

 

Although he lived in Rome --

Of all the arts the middle --

He was (excuse the phrase)

A horrid individ'l;

Ah! what a diff'rent thing

Was the homo (dative, hominy)

Of far-away B.C.

From us of Anno Domini.

 

(Okay, so it's not exactly a Hallmark get-well-card, but it sure beats Hallmark's treacly platitudes.)

 

-- Nephele

Welcome back Imperator!

Suddenly it smells like schnitzel, strudel and kangaroos around here. What gives?

I sadly think the same of my 2007.

I'm glad the worst is over for you, welcome back.

thanks everyone for the kind words

 

cheers
