Cato the Elder

...I think it was, ended every address in the roman forum with "Carthago delenda est", "carthage must be destroyed". no matter how mundane the subject before the senate, grain/circus subsidies or discrimination in vestal virgin selection exams, they all ended with that same catchy tagline. i think that this forum (the ivy senate?) could make similar use of a similar sign-off. "chensvold delenda est", or, in the interest of simplicity, "Chensvold must be destroyed" should be adopted. Much as cato's original line, it would focus the forum on its main existential purpose, that is, the epic, millennial struggle between Talk Ivy and Chensvold. It would also have a positive effect on Forum Morale.

Yes but, in the words of Cicero "Quis custodient ipsos custodes?". You know what I mean, innit.

Re: Cato the Elder

I have little Latin and less Greek.  I remain, however, a superb manipulator of the English language: thou whoreson rogue, Chensvold.  Shog off!

I'm not a juvenal delinquent...  as Frankie Lymon might have had it.

Re: Cato the Elder

I don't know - but, if so, I admire his nerve and his staying power.  I never quite worked out how guys like Brigham Young managed it.  I need a pound of steak with all the trimmings before I can rise to the occasion.
