First part sez: “I have a slingshot.”

If you’re hot, that’s good.
If you’re cool, that’s good.
I don’t get it.

Dang, you’re right, Flora. Athough I believe _saxum_ is more properly translated as “have sex with saxophones” rather than just “have sex”.

Whatever it sais, change it back. Your old sig was the best on the board, honestly.
Though I might wanna consider replacing mine with a Latin one:
“Varium et mutabile semper femina est”
## Free beers for the first who… you know the drill.

Well, I AM going to change it back - Wally, my copyright did not lapse, and I will be having my attourney contact yours with the cease & desist order.
Some of you pretty much nailed it. The translation I got was:
“I have a catapult. Give me all the money or I will fling an enormous rock at your head.”
