Participant92106: The in-laws, who are visiting from Texas, just purchased a Camry hybrid in San Antonio. The dealer added a $10,000 “dealer premium” to the sticker and explained that Toyota is adding dealer premiums to their Camry and Prius lines.
Not really apropos of anything, but I found it interesting.

ParticipantThat’s actually a line from the movie “Tank”, starring James Garner. The movie was thoroughly forgettable, but there was a part in the movie where one of the characters was invoking Posse Comitatus and the other character asked if he was calling him a pussy Communist. For whatever reason, that line stuck with me.
Yeah, better you don’t ask.
You’re very conversant with Latin. Did you study it, and, if so, where?

ParticipantNo, I meant epithets in the commonly accepted vernacular of insults. I was also presuming, given the rather glib tone of your email, that you weren’t really going for a Roman Victory Title; rather you were having some fun. I, on the other hand, would dearly love some sort of Roman Victory Title. I would have t-shirts made and everything!
Hey, you didn’t call me a “pussy Communist”, did you?!?

ParticipantAecetia: If we’re using Roman Victory Titles (and I’m presuming the proper use of Epitheton Necessarium), couldn’t I have “Congueror” or “Africanus” (little nod to Scipio there)? I don’t want Boomer or Gen-X. Too many visions of pampered little yuppies running through my head.
You also realize that epithets and Epitheton can mean two very different things, no? I’m guessing you probably do. Might want to pull that tongue back out of your cheek…
