De clunibus magnis amandis oratio

De clunibus magnis amandis oratio
Mixaloti equitis

Mehercle!
Rebecca, ecce! Tantae clunes isti sunt!
Amica esse videtur istorum hominum rhythmicorum.
Sed, ut scis,
quis homines huiusmodi intellegere potest?
Colloquuntur equidem cum ista eo tantum, quod scortum perfectum esse videtur.
Clunes, aio, maiores esse!
Nec possum credere quam rotondae sint.
En! Quam exstant! Nonne piget te earum?
Ecce mulier Aethiops!

Here’s the full text, with translation.

Riches to distribute

And in totally unrelated* news, the Gmail account that Adam and Sue were kind enough to send my way has sprouted kids: three invitations of my own to send out to people. There are websites out there where people offer lots of goodies for these addresses, and I hear they go for real money (like $50 each) on Ebay.

I don’t want to go through that kind of hassle though. I just want to hand them out to people who I know will enjoy the accounts. Oh sure, I’m open to bribes and all (yeah, this will results in a wave of offers on this frequently read web page, snort) but you know.

So . . . anyone want one? Anyone? Is there anybody out there?

* Unrelated to Lizzie Borden.

Adam, you blew it.

You bought the wrong house! Should have waited until this one came on the market.

It would have been nice to get this piece of the family history back in the family. (Assuming, of course, that Abbey Durfee Gray Borden was family.)

A quick test.

Just downloaded a bit of software called Ecto. It’s a desktop client that lets you post content to weblogs. Claims to work with a bunch of software. I’m a bit tipsy now and I don’t know whether I input all the necessary information without typos, so let’s just make this a boring, short entry and make sure this thing works!
