hmmm what to engrave....

You prove my point for me. I'm after 6-4 aircraft grade (or better) not
shitty grade alloy.

Mine will be mirror polished.

/2 to get the dollar equivilent

Now you see why I'm doing it then....

works here. cut and paste:

"Illegitimis non carborundum"
by Mark Israel

Yes, this means "Don't let the bastards grind you down", but it
is not real Latin; it is a pseudo-Latin joke.

"Carborundum" is a trademark for a very hard substance composed
of silicon carbide, used in grinding. (The name "Carborundum" is a
blend of "carbon" and "corundum". "Corundum" denotes aluminium
oxide, and comes to English from Tamil kuruntam; it is related to
Sanskrit kuruvinda = "ruby".) "The "-ndum" ending suggests the
Latin gerundive, which is used to express desirability of the
activity denoted by the verb, as in Nil desperandum = "nothing to
be despaired of"; addendum = "(thing) fit to be added";
corrigendum = "(thing) fit to be corrected"; and the name Amanda,
from amanda = "fit to be loved").

Illegitimis is the dative plural of illegitimus =
"illegitimate"; the gerundive in Latin correctly takes the dative to
denote the agent. Illegitimus could conceivably mean "bastard" in
Latin, but was not the usual word for it: Follett World-Wide Latin
Dictionary (Follett, 1967) gives nothus homo for bastard of known
father, and spurius for bastard of unknown father.

The phrase seems to have originated with British army
intelligence early in World War II. It was popularized when U.S.
general Joseph W. "Vinegar Joe" Stilwell (1883-1946) adopted it as
his motto. Various variant forms are in circulation.

 

This is a whoosh.
I guess it's Python.
In which case it's a no-no.

 

I beleive mine is aircraft grade, but no matter

It won't last. Mine was like that after it was sized down.

Well, not really. See above. Plus I reckon it'll get stopped in
customs and you'll get hit for VAT as well. Also, it might not fit,
migth not be comfortable etc etc. But hell, your call

The wrong sketch altogether, I suspect.

Oh I'm sure it won't, but it'll last longer than silver and future

It'll be delivered to a friend in the US who will then forward on in a
non commercial way.

Yeah, I did see the irnoy, but, others probably wouldn't.

U all ride safely, now ;-)

 

Nope. Life of Brian. My latin is not good enough to know if Romanes
eunt domus means 'People called Romanes they go the house' or 'Romans
go home' (which googling reveals would actually be 'Romani ite domum')

Any idea what the Latin for "Eats, shoots and leaves" is?

nice.

 

How about "Vene Vidi Vici" - very cliched but short enough?

Or my favourite, but a bit too long "SEMPER.IN.FAECIBVS.SVMVM,
SOLE.PROFVNDVM.VARIAT
- loosly translated as "we're always in the shit, it's just the depth that
varies"

"Whatever the pain - DON'T CUT THE RING!"

I believe that's less than 35 characters.

I make it 32. Surely they're not going to charge you for the spaces?
