I see this on the back of a pick-up and am curious.

" Carpe' diem II"

The mark between the e and d is actually a , but up where I put the '.
Is it latin? Whats it mean?

Seize the day, i.e. enjoy the day. Am I the onliest one that "took" high school Latin?

Yup.. Latin is 'Pluck the day' but usually translated to 'seize the day'

Also the title of a very good Metallica song from a few years back

that was a "mediocre" Metallica song (never thought I'd see metallica on this board!

I had latin in high school, I didn't do too well.

I took a year of latin in HS. I learned alot about english because of latin. I would have taken another year if there had been a different teacher.

Where were you guys when I was showing off my latin skills -------remember that thread about Cleopatra?

She did that congegating stuff and got Amo,Amas,Amat, Amos, and Andy

that was a fun thread, wasn't it Noble?

Was that Latin we were talkin' when we were discussin' what Brutus et?

Don P · « **Reply #7 on:** April 24, 2006, 10:02:44 pm »

I thought Brutus et two

Bro. Noble · « **Reply #8 on:** April 24, 2006, 10:03:41 pm »

I don't think so Tom, if I remember correctly, he et tu. That sounds oriental to me

Bro. Noble · « **Reply #9 on:** April 24, 2006, 10:06:19 pm »

You could be right Don-------probably et two Carpe's with a jug of ripple. That sounds more latin

GaryD says that, if you can spin a chinaman around enough, you can disorient him. I wonder if Brutus was disoriented?

Learning Latin right now at work.
They had suggested I learn Spanish so as to communicate with the workers, but I actually have to check off product in Latin.

Sure is fun......... not!

Tom · « **Reply #12 on:** April 24, 2006, 10:26:07 pm »

Where are you workin', in Rome? .......Georgia?

Furby · « **Reply #13 on:** April 24, 2006, 10:36:02 pm »

Nope, just up here.
Plants are labled with scientific name and common name, paper work is limited in the common name area so it's checked by scientific name.
Long as I can see it I can find it, having to say it or hear it don't work.

Tom · « **Reply #14 on:** April 24, 2006, 10:42:56 pm »

There is a Rome, Michigan tu.. uh.... too. You could go over there and get a tutor.

I took 6 years of Latin

4 years of Latin 1 and 2 years of Latin 2

You would think they could have figured out by then that I wasn't too good at ferin languages

And while we're on this topic, maybe Leweee will translate his quote for us

Dan_Shade... The only latin I ever understood

Numquam ubi sububi

Thanks Alot Mr Mom

Sprucebunny.......a loose translation

Don't let the Bas%&rds grind you down.
It's the any latin phrase I remember.

As a new member I asked Gilman (Dave) what the latin was under his avatar.....he said it was "I have to edit my profile" spelled backwards. Sure made me feel stupid.
