**Maeglin** , of course we’re roasting you. You’re delicious. Just bear in mind that we’re using one of the other friggin’ weirdo knifeboy’s ( **Mnementh** ) _broadswords_ to do it with! Mmmm, now what sorta barbecue sauce should we be using? ---

The haiku was in Latin, not in Greek. I do not compose nearly so elegantly in Greek, I’m afraid. Don’t forget my German poem about the welder. While it lacked **Waverly’s** absolutely masterful _gruppenfick_, I thought it was still a fine specimen. > [@](#): > > , now what sorta barbecue sauce should we be using? Oh, that’s an easy one, **Gingy**. [Garum](http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/lostempires/roman/garum.html). > [@](#): > > Use fatty fish, for example, sardines, and a well-sealed (pitched) container with a 26-35 quart capacity. Add dried, aromatic herbs possessing a strong flavor, such as dill, coriander, fennel, celery, mint, oregano, and others, making a layer on the bottom of the container; then put down a layer of fish (if small, leave them whole, if large, use pieces) and over this, add a layer of salt two fingers high. Repeat these layers until the container is filled. Let it rest for seven days in the sun. Then mix the sauce daily for 20 days. After that, it becomes a liquid. Mmmmm! ---

Ich kenn nicht das lied doch weiss ich dass Seneca mies ist, und du auch. Waaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. Your Latin looks familiar on a second glance. What would you do if I said … Girat, regirat garcifer; me rogus urit fortiter: propinat me nunc dapifer. I guess there’s only one thing left to say: Ich wusste es doch und du bist mies, doch nicht so wie der Seneca. That, and I’ll lift a glass while you roast. 😉 ---

**lno** , that was fucking harsh. You wanna rip on me, fine. But leave my man Seneca out of it. Carmen hoc scies, sed mentis, nequissime. Iesusulus flet. Since you are a dissembler, the below surely applies. Veritas opprimitur distrahitur et venditur iustitia prostante Can you dig it? And I’ll pass on the testes, **Ginger**. A little too much testosterone, even for me. ---

Rip on you? I did no such thing! I compared you favorably! [sub]well, yeah, all I said was that you didn’t suck AS MUCH as Seneca[/sub] BUT STILL. The gauntlet has been thrown down. I’m not quite sure whether Cicero was speaking of you or your pretty-boy Seneca, but it applies nevertheless: > [@](#): > > Nemo illum foedum vultum aspicere, nemo furialem vocem bonus audire poterat. ---
