I should put my sign shop here to use.
I'm thinking someone out there has a really great A's-related logo/slogan/design, either AN-related or not. I'm thinking that we should collectively pick the best and I should make us all stickers--either bumper or no, whatever your preference.
And, if we can keep the size down to envelope size or smaller, I should be able to do it free of charge for all of us. Think of it as a holiday gift from your favorite turn of the century Irish Jew.
On an unrelated note, does anyone have a high resolution, somewhat panoramic photo of a pre-Mount Davis Coliseum they can share? I'm thinking of printing a bigger one up for my brother (not too large--like 12 by 18 or something similar, so it doesn't have to be too high res), matting and framing it. He was a bleacher regular before Al returned.
Thoughts, ideas, random curses directed at me? Feel free.

The room which is green and gold?
Sorry, I’m a struggling Latin student.
Also, unrelated, but it seems between this and ANer alea iacta est (which I’m guessing means, in lay terms, a crapshoot … literally throwing dice?) , Latin has some popularity on this site. Maybe my three semesters of hard work and cursing ablative absolutes wasn’t all for naught?

3 years of high school Latin here
Can’t say I retained any of the specifics, but it was massively helpful for my ongoing understanding of the English language (and for a good baseline familiarity with the Romance languages).

i'm not quite sure
what Mr Bloom is trying to say in Latin (do you mean camera viridis aurique?), however, alea iacta est is a slightly bastardised form of what Julius Caesar is reported to have said when he crossed the river Rubicon with his army, thus declaring war on the city of Rome. it translates as ‘the die is cast’, or possibly, ‘let the die be cast’.
incidentally, ablative absolutes = brilliant.

Caesar? Hmm... sounds important
I kind of struggled with the translation, too. We’ve been reading Livy this semester and haven’t done a whole lot of reading Caesar. Cicero, yes. And thanks for the meaning behind yours. I figured it was a Latin way of commenting on Beane’s “crapshoot” comment of the playoff process.
by JLaff on Dec 14, 2008 8:44 AM PST up reply actions 0 recs
well, it made it into asterix
nah, it’s not a basball comment. but is the form for a tattoo based die / dye pun. oddly, doesn’t appear in Caesar’s own work, but in Plutarch (who is actually rather tedious, all told.) You should ask your teacher if you can study some Catullus. As he’s rather amusing, and you will learn how to curse in a dead language. which, yknow. helps get girls.

Hmm
I would, but I have one week left (it’s finals week) and I’m graduating after that. We read some Catullus (he’s the one who pined over Lesbia, right?) in first semester, but not much. I’d MUCH prefer reading Catullus, which seemed at least amusing, to a history of Rome.

yeah, i mean
i guess i just love all that shit. some is better than other bits, mind. But yes. Catullus is the one who pined over Lesbia, and told a senator his breathe smelled of Urine. He also called out hipsters, way back when. which is kinda cool.

I have a love/hate relationship with Latin
It is a pretty amazing language, and while I’m kicking myself for not taking something easier, I feel good for having learned it. Plus it has actually made me a more astute English grammar nazi, which is always nice. And while my classmates are learning how to ask where the library is and commenting on how their aunt is nice, Latin students get to read action.

You want a hard language, try learning Ancient Greek
It doesn’t have an ablative, but other than that it’s way more complicated than Latin: you’ve got an optative mood (in addition to indicative, subjunctive, imperative, infinitive), an aorist tense, and occasionally dual number (in addition to singular and plural). Plus you have to deal with dialectical differences. It can be an incredible headache.

Forgot to mention the middle voice (in addition to active and passive) and accents!
I learned Greek in a 10-week intensive course one summer — 6 weeks to learn the language, and 4 weeks on Plato’s Apology. I remember about a month in that we’d learned an enormous amount, including what seemed like 4 conjugations or so. 6 principle parts for each verb, pulling apart prefixes and suffixes to figure out what a word means, etc. And then our teacher said, “Okay, all the verbs you’ve learned so far were the first conjugation. Now, we’re going to learn -mi verbs,” and I my heart sank.

"quod" can also mean "because"
so I was trying to figure out a causative relationship between viridis and aurum, although I still have a problem with the cases there. Wouldn’t aurique be the genitive singular of the noun aurum? The adjectival form is aureus, so I’d translate “the green and gold room” as camera viridis aureaque.

I love how I offer some free stuff
and it turns into a debate on Latin.
My original thought was a play on Camera Lucida, as I was talking about images and such. But I always loved Barthes and thought his unbridled affection for his mother was very sweet, and not at all creepy. Upon reflection, I suppose had he been born in Alabama and not in France, I would feel differently about that. I’m not sure what that says about me, but…
So does anyone have any suggestions about some free stickers? I know when we used to sell the circles (Small Sample Size, Joe Morgan can kiss my bunt, etc.), I put one on the side of my computer tower. It doesn’t have to be a square/rectangle and it doesn’t have to go on your auto.
Actually, the one on my tower is still there (WWBD), which either suggests my blind allegiance to our GM, or my desperate need for technological upgrade. Maybe both.

I should’ve avoided the Latin, I suppose.
I’ve got graphic design abilities (or at least, I’ve developed some over the course of the last year), but it’s very against the collective AN spirit if I just say, “Hey, I designed this stuff here—who wants one?”

You got it!
But the one I learned (“O, sibili”) works for our GM, not the groundskeeper in the Simpsons!
There’s also a real-Latin one I learned in college (but have since forgotten) that is a series of puns based on Latin’s system of long and short syllables. When you first read it (I think it was an elegiac couplet), it looks like a verse about a shepherd forgetting his sheep. When you pay attention to the poetic meter (which is based on long and short syllables) you realize that it’s actually about the shepherd smearing himself with eggs.

More tortued Latin
My freshman year at UC Davis, the student radio station has this DJ who was really way out there. He made a station promo that went something like this (I’m going by memory here).
(sounds of something like shovels scraping against rocks)
It’s time for your Latin-for-lovers lesson for the day.
Lesson number one: Cogito, ergo sum.
Translation: I think, therefore I am.
Lesson number two: Gort, Klaatu barada nicto.
Translation: Gort, be a good fellow and fetch my slippers please.
Lesson number three: Un tutuo KDVS in Davisium
Translation: And you are tuned to KDVS, in Davis, just left of center on your FM dial (this part is a little hazy – it’s been over 25 years since I heard this promo).

The chicken, then the egg
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

But where did the chicken come from?

Who is this Albert?
And why are his offspring giving you chickens? Don’t they know what you’ll do to them?

Now, don't get me wrong --
I like to think of myself as being as cunning as the next practicing linguist, and if there was a poll I’d vote in the affirmative on the concept — but on a bumper sticker? For me, not so much.
I’d go with the outVORP idea, unless The Primate can come up with something suitably Spartacrusty. And — if you make a bunch, I’d be happy to hand ’em out at FanFest/Workout Day.

We really should come to some consensus...
I’d like to do these over the upcoming lull, should perceived lull occur.

Lull?
What is this lull you refer to, because I haven’t seen one.

Much like teaching,
(or perhaps even glass-making), there seems to be a lull in the sign industry through the holiday season. But, like you, I’ve yet to see it. I seem busier than ever, which seems strange for a recession.

Its a good problem to have,
so I won’t argue. There is plenty of money out there

If you specialize in "Going Out Of Business" signs,
business is probably pretty brisk. :-(
