  1. I jerned up too. Why won't you let me get my avatar in? Or my picture? If you think that you can treat me so, I'll have my client, , look into affairs. He will do anything for me; well, except to let me put my arms around THAT GIRL. :wub: P.S. I have drops in my eyes now . If anyone complains about any blunders I may make today, the gods will have to help them! I AM A QUAESTOR! Eat your livers out!
  2. A thousand or so years ago, NYC had a Mayor O' Dwyer (Catholic). Had a great looking wife. Pres. Truman had to appoint him ambassador to Mexico to keep him out of jail.
  3. Quintus, here is your Saturnalia present: http://www.vroma.org/~abarker/tschapseventeen.html "mabey" ? ?Que? MAYBE Mabey you should do a little work on yer inglishe spelling first! If you are not careful, you mabey teletransported to the Dark Side of the Moon where you kin keep & :mummy: company! Where is My Lord of the Greeks :notworthy: , Don Giovanni, in all this?
  4. Bartholomew, the Ecumenical Patriarch, still can't have a Cross on any of his churches. Now, for some more help: What was the effect and meaning of: Moscow being the 'Third Rome'? The Austrian Emperor being the Holy Roman Emperor? The Papacy having that title after the Austrians gave it up? Somewhere in Gibbon's work, I believe that he indicates that Trebizond lasted in some 'Roman' capacity until the 1750's AD. Doesn't the word 'Istanbul' have some Roman connection? FVC, what do Yunan and those other terms refer to? I think that there is some group that is in the process of 're-establishing' the 'Roman Empire' somewhere in Texas (U.S.A.).
  5. Well, whadyewant? How about blowing the burgh City Shack into tooth picks? I could have the head of the rackets in your parts render that 'service'. Bump off all of your enemies? - for a small fee - of course. Notice how His Lordship :notworthy: , is taking to Brookfordshiresexinghamese? Must be the Earl's good influence. A couple of questions: Have Montanans put a decent floor in the Field House at MSU (Bowzmann) yet? Have y'all put a roof back on at Chico Hot Springs? Is Butte still on the proper side of the Earth's crust? Has pizza replaced Butte Pasty's yet? -_-
  6. Actually, you answered your question in your second paragraph. There are more sublime idiots in the libertrarian party than the Common Law allows. .
  7. Grammatically correct, but with a slight use of Britannian/British/Anglo spelling.(Do note this is a run on sentence) Devils preserve us!; my genius or your work?
  8. My good fellowe, You've been at the whooople juice - again! Evidence! Evidence!, as my best friend, MPC, would require of you! I beg you, in all sincerity (well!), to rewrite the vulgarian, indicted sentence (as the Quaestor would) in concordance with the Rules of the Road! I shan't rest till ('til ?) your tidings arrive.
  9. WW: The source you cite is also from Keppie, the same as mine, so we are not at loggerheads. In the same appendix, Keppie notes that 'VI' Ferrata (ironclad) was in Spain in 49 BC. Keppie also indicates the posibility of another 'VI' legion, VI Macedonica, which may have beeen the same legion as VI Ferrata.
  10. No! Indeed!, I say NO!, once again. Troy was in Brigantia! Lookey here - proof positive!: http://www.unrv.com/forum/index.php?act=mo...si&img=1492 See that little splotch in the lower right center background? That is Troy! All involved were a bunch of assorted besotted Celts having at each other over some babe. :wub: After ten years of merry making, when they were finally tuckered out, one of the sots stole a boat and was taken adrift. Contrary to all the other twaddle, it was HE who discovered Iceland, Greenland and Vinnishland! It was My Lord of the Herbs, :notworthy: who lately discovered the real Troy! And let us not forget that Homer was a woetomans! (Thank you, Dr. Andrew Dalby of Our Crowd.) Odysseus was in Dutch with most everybody - not a Dutchman! The Trojans were finished - not Finnish! An errant 'editor'.
  11. From: 'The Making of the Roman Army - From Republic to Empire'; Lawrence Keppie; Appendix 2. "VI Victrix Formed; 41-40? (Octavian); Perusia, 41; movements not reported, 40-31; Spain, 30 BC onwards-AD 69. Emblem: often stated to have a bull-emblem, suggesting (false) Caesarian antecedents, but the evidence is insecure. Titles: Hispaniensis, 'stationed in Spain'. Attested: AE 1917/1918, 2 (Neronian); CIL V4381 = Sup.677; PBSR xli (1973), 12. Victrix (Victorious); first attested: ILS 2648 (Neronian)-that inscription notes a recent victory contra Astures, perhaps the occasion for the award; but AE 1968, 2206 may be earlier." AE = L'Annee Epigraphique, Paris CIL = Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum (Berlin, 1863 0nwards) PBSR = Papers of the British School at Rome, London ILS = H. Dessau, Inscriptiones Latinae Selectae (Berlin 1892-1916)
  12. Leon: I don't know anything about the value of coins or medals. I hope that someone else on the Forum does. Merry Christmas
  13. This isn't a treasure hunter's board. By found do you mean in your back garden, or that you took it without permission from land that didn't belong to you? Doug It is not my place to say so, but I don't believe that any of 'The Rules of the Road' of the Forum have been violated. I believe they call for charity for those who obviously don't speak English. Leon's post in no way indicates a crime. Someone has to find things. I don't think that trying to find out the value of a coin or medal, on the Forum, is wrong. Merry Christmas,
  14. Motto of Montana: "Where men are men and sheeps beware!" Don't you ever have anything exciting happen out there in Boozeman? Cops putting neat little holes in unwary citizens? Bank jobs? Exceptionally tall buildings come tumbling down? Civil rights marches? Subway strikes? Bomb scares? My Lord of the Herbs, don't let these colonials pull the wool over your eyes. A gopher is someone who gets coffee for the boss. Inedible. Come in different sizes. National Anthem of Montana: I come from Montana, I wear a banana, My spurs are of silver, my pony is gay. While riding the ranges, my luck never changes, With my feets in the stirrups, I gallops away.
  15. A pavement stone from the Via Appia Antiga.
  16. My Lord: (Smilies ain't working.) Have you figured out what the splotch in the pic is yet? Mayhaps a bit of undigested pork pie? Basil, etc.
  17. Understood all perfectly! However, I believe that :mummy: & would strangle themselves at the second word.
  18. The always wrong holey reverendo some mung moon has infested the libertrarian party and owns the washington times. Merry Christmas
  19. A bit of a quibble. Did the Venetians have another choice?
